Any tips Eric ? @Dazercat 
My cravings are scones with coffee, donuts at night, ice cream in bed, and always more dessers than everyone at the table

For a while I realized that I’ve had a serious problem with sugar probably on a daily basis having five or six times the daily value of sugar. I am making a commitment starting November 1 to have no added sugar, candy or energy drinks. So far I’m slowly letting my body adapt and today I had zero energy drinks, no mountain dews or candy.. And honestly the majority of the food I actually ate had zero sugar. I’m not sure if I’m getting ahead of myself but I feel really relaxed today and I also don’t feel that tired Electrical type feeling that I was getting in my arms and legs probably from nerve pain.. I also don’t feel exhausted or drained and I did not deal with any crashes or ups and downs. If this is what I’m experiencing after day one and I’m not even completely doing my goals till November 1 I can’t imagine what else I’m going to feel. There’s been a lot of symptoms recently that I feel like are directly related to having way too much sugar in my system. I’m starting to think that a ridiculous amount of my anxiety is just attributed to wait too much sugar. I’m curious to see where this journey takes me but it’s not going to be easy because honestly even though I’m starting November 1 I decided I’m going to continue going today with no candy or energy drinks.. I definitely will say though I feel like my mouth is watering for sugar but I know that’ll pass with time. And this might sound funny but I’m grateful to find out that there’s no added sugar in milk and I was thinking damn that sucks if I have to stop drinking milk.. But to be honest even though I’m aiming for no added sugar I’m also going to try to just not have sugar at all if I can help it..
!!! Work was so much easier today and I really felt a difference already
Ps:
For a while this has been just about every day-
Two energy drinks
Two or three sodas
Lots of candy
And the majority of my food containing a ridiculous amount of sugar and inside of wrappers, boxes and bags so basically not real food
No wonder I feel anxious and drained Plus worsening nerve pain

Heya no added sugar folks. Day 6 no added sugar. Ive been irritable and uncomfortable with cravings after meals. I got in the unhealthy habit of reaching for chocolate after a full meal and full stomach. Not today satan.

Proud of you @Cjp
Reaching for that after dinner, chocolate obviously became a habit. I’m glad that you are breaking it. You’re doing great.!

Natural yoghurts are usually somewhat sour as the bacteria eat all the yummy sugars

Just reading around here but sooooo not ready for this. I have been practicing portion control. I don’t always succeed but I can always try again tomorrow. Sugar is up there with caffeine. I’ve given up mostly everything else! 
UPF and fast food is out.. even pizza has dwindled away. No candy, just cookies and cakes again, portions! But if you have one portion of more than one is it really controlled? NO congrats to all of you on this brave journey. Even at my AA meetings at times, there’s a box of donuts, one day they had fruit! I was impressed but mostly sweets.

Oh wow congrats!!
I’ve done 5 days last week, then on a « bender » with donuts, ice-cream and chocolate bar since then 
I am moving this week across the country so I guess there’s that. Still, sugar is not helping. My sleep is worsen and my energy is low. Damnit ! I back in the « tomorrow is the day » thinking !

So do you guys do no sugar at all or you do something like 1 dessert / week only ?
I really want to get into it more seriously but I need to establish clear boundaries first. Abstinence works well for alcohol so that’s an idea for sugar. For me it’s not all added sugar but sweet treats and desserts. So I wonder if I just cut it out or limit myself to once a week. Any thoughts on this? Have you tried « moderation » before?

Everyone can set their boundaries. My goal is no added sugar. So no desserts, chocolate, candy, juice, etc
