http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2235907/ I'm not an idiot and I realize there is sugar in natural, wholesome foods. This is obviously not what I am referring to when I am trying to cut the crap from my life. This thread is really sad, and I'm honestly sorry I started it. I never said I was giving up sugar for…

If I literally cannot say no, and get super upset if I can't have it, I think so. Unless everything I know about addiction is wrong (quite possible, learn new things everyday!)
-
How's that workin out for your goals?
-
How is that not an addiction? Genuinely curious
-
Yep, you nailed it. I've adjusted it, thanks!
-
Right, but as someone who can't eat 1 cookie but has to eat 3, I think this approach will help reset my mindset (that is, a mindset of an addict). Thanks for the info though!
-
lol
-
Yea that makes sense - I did put my goals as losing 2 lbs per week (the max it allows). Thanks for clarifying, I'm (as everyone has made very clear) obviously a newbie to this!
-
Macros are a completely new concept to me so I definitely need to brush up on that research. Thanks for the tips! (And for not assuming I'm crazy for that 1200 number)
-
Got it - super helpful, thank you!
-
literally, MFP spat that number out
-
Fair enough, yeah, it's a personal choice. Huge sweet tooth to the point that I gained 20 lbs from lack of self-control.
-
I don't really feel the need to defend my decision to stop eating junk. I have a huge addiction to sugar (candy, sweets, cookies, etc.) and that is clearly a problem. So yeah, I'm detoxing.

Hmm definitely thought majority of replies here would be much less condescending. Not a very supportive community.
-
Wow can't believe I got so many replies so fast! Thank you everyone!

It's interesting that both of you who posted this are guys. Any sense in justifying that women need to eat less than men in general? I agree that 1200 is pretty low but I have done a ton of research on calorie deficits to lose weight and 1200 seems to be the range recommended, albeit nothing lower than that. I'm wondering…

Congrats on the 5 lbs! That is awesome.
-
Possibly very true, I'm not used to this but that is the direction myfitnesspal gave me. Here are my "goals" Nutritional Goals Goals Net Calories Consumed* / Day 1,200 cal/day Carbs / Day 150.0 g Fat / Day 40.0 g Protein / Day 60.0 g Fitness Goals Goals Calories Burned / Week 830 cal/week Workouts / Week 5 Workouts Minutes…

You should add me so we can stay on track! I'm with ya :) I tried a little bit of yoga and squats/lunges (20 minutes tops) and gave up haha.
-
Sorry - to clarify, I'm not trying to lose 20 lbs in 30 days, just do a 30 day sugar detox. I'm hoping to lose 20 in 80 days. 5'7/150/23 Good tip about fats, I will definitely incorporate more! I assume you mean avocados, coconut oil, etc. The 1200 calorie goal is what myfitnesspal gave me after I entered my goals =/

Are you able to view my diary? Happy to have input. The sugars I've been consuming are natural (fruit) but other than that, yes - I've been sticking primarily to protein and greens.
