I guess you are right! I put the chocolat on the sugar sreen so I can see a huge different between the both of my TS start screens.
I just found a few recepies of making vegan cheese myself (even a blue cheese!)
I do intermitting fasting too. I used to do 5:2 fasting, but my migaine didnāt like that so now Iām doing 16/8 every day. And the last healthy candy I found is freeze dried fruit. It will increase the bloodsugar level, but sometimes I need something sweet in my mouth!

Feeling the need to revive this thread. My diet latelyā¦ 
has me nauseous this am (your pm). Canāt bring myself to commit to a certain day or week to back off on the sweets. Anyone else struggling in this arena? Also caffeineā¦ uuggghhh.
Yeah. Sugar is pretty low on my list at the moment, but itās sure back on my list. Easter seriously ramped up my chocolate game.

My struggle here with sugar was about 6 weeks ago and now I feel good about it. I didnāt pick a day in advance, just started a day and thought āIām going to see if I can get through todayā and really struggled through it. Once I got through day 1, I decided to commit and set targets of 5 days and 10 days. It sucked through day 6 and then it changed.

Agreed a revival is needed! I was doing well last week, until a Ben & Jerryās snaccident on Friday night 
I am going to try going properly sugar free again. I felt great for it when I did it. For me that means fruit is allowed but will avoid sweet treats and white bread.

I used to in the evening find it very satisfying to blend frozen banana with almond milk and cinnamon. It was like a natural ice cream.

That sounds delicious!
For some weeks now I was able to moderate my sugar intake, I use an app that helps me to count calories. Coffee intake is now stable at 2 cups a day (it was 4-5 cups). I just stopped buying cookies and chocolate and replaced it with fruit. Yesterday and today I had donuts 
but I wonāt eat them every day as I used to.
Baby steps.
Reducing meat is my next aim

Resurrecting this thread!
This weekend, I had a moment of clarity thanks to talking to someone dear to me and I decided to do this-for reals. I legit even asked my higher power for help with this, why I never thought of that before now was beyond me but I seriously am ready to do this now!
I started tracking my food intake again this week on my fitness pal. When I quit cold turkey I always get sick. Allllwwaaaaayyyyssssssss. So, this week transition week has begun! Coffee and sugar go hand in hand for me and they both need to not be my ānormalā.
This week, I have 2, 8oz. half caff coffees with 1 measured sugar teaspoon each per day and for a dessert if I want it at night I can have fruit or Iām allowing myself a yogurt with 10g sugar. (Omg. Thank you @Yoda-Stevie, the Skyr Icelandic is my new favorite yogurt ever!!! They finally got it here) My goal is to currently keep my total sugars at 30-40 grams/day MAX. One fruit or one yogurt per day.
I will reevaluate next week and see where I am and how Iām feeling. I started this Monday after a whim revelation Sunday night so I really dont have a plan yet. But, I can tell you, I already feel less swollen and way better just on day 2 of this! I am not overdoing it on carbs but I am not cutting them all out either. Iām not a huge carb person anyway, but Iām watching to make sure I donāt become one and shift from one bad thing to another.
Time to keep moving forward!

Good for you Mandi! It CAN be done! I had a wicked sweet tooth all my life which was over indulged the last 2 years as you know. Kicking the sugar feels pretty awesome for me. I miss being able to dig into a pint of ice cream, but I know my goals are worth more than the fleeting sugar feelz.
Work what works for you!

YAASSSSSSSS!!! You can do this. These days I drink no coffee (just one bowl of matcha in the morning for caffeine), and my only sugar is whole fruit. I feel so much better physically and mentally. Two weeks ago I tried having some ice cream and it gave me a headache and a stomach ache - this was after a month or so with no sugar. So I keep that memory alive and continue taking a pretty hard line, and keep notes on how I feel with any deviation.

Bahaha! This gave me a really good laugh. Hey, it took me over a year to really get to a place where I could do it, itās really NOT good for me. I just looked, I have gained around 20lbs but honestly I dont even care about the weight. Itās all about how I feel and itās def gotta go!

Lol, chocolate yeah you can take that. Iām, ahem, will be ok with that.
But coffee, to paraphrase a now famous line, youāll have to pry from my cold dead fingers!!
Though I am drinking a lot less than I was back 6 months ago!
