I'm Jonesing

In my quest to do better, I'm trying to cut down my sugar intake. Holy Cow! what an ass kicker! I've got the no alcohol thing down, but that sugar is a cruel mistress!

Been trying to do the same lately and it's very eye opening when you realize all the tricky names the "food" industry uses to disguise and hide sugar and substitutes in what we consume.

Likewise. Sugar is the devil.

Is this simply for weight loss or just a quest for overall better health?

More so for overall health. I'm within 5 pounds of my target weight. My wife and I are pretty clean eaters. I can't remember the last thing that we ate that was out of a box. But to my detriment, she is a fantastic baker and whips up some pretty mean desserts.

Ha! Sounds like my wife. I'll be on a diet trying to dump a few pounds and I come home and she's got a full dinner cooked and a home made pie ready for desert. Really hard to complain about that though.

Definitely a first world problem!

I'm fairly fit for a 60-something guy, but chocolate is my Kryptonite. Good luck with your struggle because I'm in the same boat.

I’m a two weeks cold turkey on sugar and I’m a dick head still. Caffeine will be next but I’ve gotta detox from the sugar first.

I eat a lot of fruit and I will continue to do that. It's the homemade cookies and cakes and pies that get me.

I started NSNG (see Vinnie Tortorich) Jan 1, down 9 pounds, and inflammation WAY less over the last month, feel 10 years younger,, that's the main reason I started plus high triglycerides. First diet I really didn't struggle with, I've been a carbs and ice cream loving guy forever, for some reason this one really made it an easy transition for me, it's similar to Keto or Paleo but I find it much easier. No seed oils besides olive or Avocado oil. Can eat small quantities of berries, dates, etc, so it's not 'zero' sugar, but I really haven't had cravings for sugar etc. Best wishes to all.

Added sugar hasent been a part of my regular diet for about 4 years now.

I use stevia Munk fruit, eurithritol ect. In my coffee and tea.

On the rare occasions that I do eat something with added sugar, it makes me feel like absolute shit. If I even if I have a sip soda or iced tea it makes my mouth sticky and gross.

Eating sugar naturally occurring in fruit doesn't bother me at all.

I don't miss it. Luckily for me it wasn't has terrible as I understand it to be for a lot of people when quitting, but my cutting out sugar was gradual rather than cold turkey.

Girl Scout cookies aren’t needed anymore. The Keebler Elves have the Samoa recipe down pat!

I'm a sugar kid, too. For me, I found that if I eat a balanced , decent size meal with decent complex carb serving, I crave sugar less. If I cut out the carbs I get really much, especially after dinner.

I drink extra water, that helps too..

For a sweetener in my oats, I use a sugar-free maple syrup.

Other than that, I'm good.

It's pretty rude to invite me into a cookie thread when I have celiac.

I did learn last week there's gluten free Oreos; those elves need to gry the fudge stripes on board.

Fudge stripes are for commies and chicks.

If I stay on the high end of protein and fiber for the day, it helps a bunch.
