Tips for reducing sugar intake?

There's really no such thing as "hidden" sugar. Just read nutrition labels. Sugar is required on them. Also, keep an eye on your fruit intake, as fruit tends to be higher in sugar.

There are some sugar free candies, like Werthers that are tasty and not many calories. there are sugar free jellos and puddings that are low in calories. One other thing that works for me is freezing grapes and rasberries and eating them as a snack because they are low in calories,

Try to add honey in more stuff. For example, if you drink tea, use honey instead of sugar. Also, if you crave sugar, see if eating some fruits help curb that craving.

And the final advice that work alot for me is to start working out. Whenever I workout, I tend to lose my want for sugar automatically

PS. in my humble opinion, while fruits are high on sugar, I donot count fruit sugar since honey and fruits have natural sugar and I have never heard of anyone getting fat off of fruits....

Sugar is sugar, the human body doesn't recognize the difference between sugar in an apple, sugar in honey, or sugar in breakfast cereal. It's all sucrose, fructose, galactose, and glucose as far as the human body is concerned.

Also, sucrose (table sugar) is actually the lower calorie and lower sugar option than honey.
1 TBSP of honey contains 64 calories and 17.25 grams of sugar.
1 TBSP of table sugar contains 46 calories and 12 grams of sugar.

Reducing Sugar
Go to the health food store and buy some clear liquid stevia to use as a sweetner. It is a healthy, no carb, no calorie alternative to sugar.
Use it to sweeten anything you would put sugar on or in, coffee, tea, cereal, tuna salad, anything...
When you first start using it, just use one drop at at time, until you find the right blend. It can taste a little bitter if you use too much.

If you want to bake with it, it's best to get a stevia recipe cookbook to know how to substitute liquid or powdered stevia the best.

You can also learn about and add other healthier low carb, low cal, lower glycemic indexed sweeteners to your daily routine (Xylitol, erythritol, coconut palm sugar).

Natural sugars are better for you. I don't really recommend using artificial sweeteners, even Stevia. But try to avoid high-fructose corn syrup. But using natural things like honey, agave nectar, maple sugar, and sugar in the raw are good for you. Don't discount eating fruits, though. They're important for a lot of your vitamin C, especially your citrus fruits. If you eat sugars, it's just much better to get them from fruits. It's not so much eliminating sugar or cutting it in half: it's more about the types of sugars you eat. I'm not at that point yet, since I still don't eat a lot of fresh fruit or anything, but I'm going to get better about it as I go on and get enough money to start purchasing more fruit for myself.

I think the biggest "hidden" sugar is found in simple carbohydrates. For me, this translates into reducing how much bread and pasta I eat (since these simple carbohydrates convert to sugar during digestion). I'm trying to substitute vegetables as much as possible for pasta; for sandwiches I try to eat them open face so I get half the carbohydrates of a regular sandwich.

Ah ok. Oh well, I guess I'll continue my ignorant path of eating fruits and honey. I'm kinda committed to this "unhealthy" lifestyle of eating fruits....

The point is not that fruits and honey are bad, but that sugar is the same regardless of the source. You would be just as healthy (although perhaps less happy!) designing a diet that gives you all the same nutrients, but all your sugar from refined sugar out of a jar. It doesn't actually make a difference.

I think that you should go ahead an continue on that "ignorant" path. According to my nutrition class for nursing, it is always much better to get your nutrients from natural sources, including plenty of fruits and vegetables. Honey and fruits contain nutrients that pure table sugar doesn't contain, so you shouldn't stop eating them. Sure, the body doesn't know the difference between the sugar part, but the body does notice the nutrients, including antioxidants, that are in things like honey and fruit.
