3 months -- no sugar

Nice. I'm assuming that when you say no sugar you mean "no sweets/added sugar," right?

That's my part of my current challenge, any suggestions on coping?

this is specifically no cane sugar in any form (& OF COURSE no corn syrup) -- added or prepared.

 

i allow myself honey & agave.  i've replaced my chocolate habit with a smear of honey on baking chocolate (100% chocolate) - & for something even more rich, to quiet the beasts within, i'll occasionally add peanut butter & coconut butter to the mix.

 

surprisingly effective have been the foil pouches of ready-made indian food that are proliferating.  if i get a sugar craving, i put a pouch of greens (sarson ka saag) in me instead.

 

& to get myself started, the first 6 weeks i also gave up wheat, which trigger, for me, sugar cravings.  i've eased off on NO wheat.  it's in my diet again, but much less.

Grats to you!! I can't even make it a week without giving in and noshing on a chocolate bar (granted it's at least 85% dark chocolate for me but still...has sugar in it!) , I can't imagine going 3 months! I might try a little honey on some baking chocolate though. Do you use like powdered baking cocoa or is there baking chocolate in bar form?

so.. i fell off the wagon -- after 5 months of no sugar.  

 

it was just a few sips of a beverage i knew was cane-sweetened.  i felt it immediately.  flooded my tongue & brain with addiction triggers.  for me, clearly a mistake.  it hurt.  

 

back on the wagon.  1 week.  <3 .

good for you for sticking with it!

 

I'm trying to go "processed sugar" free- and it's killing me. I allowed myself wedding cake- because my friend made it herself- and my boyfriend keeps buying me treats that I have to turn down.  Biggest ones have been random massive overwhelming addiction like cravings for sugar/chocolate... and then the smoothies- god- try getting a smoothy with natural none sugar added crap... it's practically impossible.

 

 

Good for you though- that's REALLY impressive!!!   YOU CAN KEEP GOING- YOU CAN DO IT!

That happens brother.  No sugar would be a HUGE demon to take on.  I do wish you the best of success.
