    Hi - I was on a different thread so have come on the right one!

    I'm using the NHS guidelines for 'free sugars' of 30g on this https://www.nhs.uk/live-well/eat-well/how-does-sugar-in-our-diet-affect-our-health/

    Today I had:
    5g in a hot chocolate drink
    21g in a fruit crumble topping
    6g in a ProteinWorks milkshake

    Total: 33g so 3g over. Happy with that :)

    I'm late to this thread but have been doing no sugar for 3 weeks, though I still have salad dressing and stevia. I upped my calories and thought I'd try moderation and brought home some low cal sweets the day after a 4 hour workout when I didnt eat calories back. I went nuts and ate everything sweet including 6 Fiber One brownies, my stomach was a total mess the next day! My cravings have calmed down with no sugar and more calories. I'm still planning on pie on Thanksgiving so my goal is to wait til then.

    Good plan! I started in the 80s, went down to the 40s, and have been in the teens or 20s ever since.

    95g out of 30g rec free sugars - eek. It was a one off as it was a family meal at a pancake house. Not concerned as it was an occasion and that's what life is :) Today will be less though so no worries!

    I've been at this for a year, limiting added sugars. What strategies do you have to combat sugar cravings. I have some but I'm watching my glucose regulation like a hawk. Our mileage will always vary.

    This is my first attempt at MFP message boards. I'm looking for motivation to combat sugar cravings! I'm late to this party, but today is day 2 for me of avoiding the obvious sources of sugar: candy, desserts, and sugary baked goods. I'm not really counting grams of sugar yet; my goal is cut way down on the sweet treats and replace with whole fruit for now.

    Opened my eyes on some hidden sugars.
    I still don’t count them well, but I am more aware.
