Sugar & salt and toxic and highly addictive, and manufactures know this and thus add it to their products. One can't avoid it completely as its added to most foods. A good way to start is to avoid all processed foods and opt instead , for whole real foods. For example a fresh Apple is not processed / refined and won't have added sugar. A piece of steak won't have sugar / salt added. When we embarked on our weight loss / new healthy regime in late 2012, we cut out sugar , salt & processed foods. The first 2 weeks were really hard as our bodies were addicted. - Posted from rhpmobile

Yes, it can be done. I went without my sugar daddy there for a while. I starved cause I wanted to eat his sweet substance...I'm telling you now, withdrawals were a Biatch. Does that count? Ms Foxy

When we live in caves and dragged women around by the hair and relied on hunting and gathering to survive we developed a craving for these things so we would put the extra effort in to sourcing them to ensure our healthy survival as salt sugar and fats were scarce. Now we can manufacture large quantities and fast food company's play to these vestigal cravings. It is possible to cut down on sugar but it takes awareness, discipline and will power. And lots of sex helps too!!

I replaced sugar with honey , but salt is much harder. Nearly everything you buy has sugar and salt in it. Reading labels is almost impossible when they keep on renameing things . Fruit contains its own sugars and a good steak doesnt taste as good without pepper steak sprinkle. Damned if you do damned if you don't..

when you have your teenage son tell you apples are bad for you, because of the sugar in them, when the said teenager has lived on high energy drinks and God knows what else when I'm not around that made me laugh. I don't believe in cutting anything out of our diet completely. If we are deprived of the good stuff, we crave it, and yes I know those cravings reduce over time, but there's no need to cut them out altogether. What I do is try to eat a healthy diet most of the time, most being the key word, I like some yummy stuff, but when I'm at home, I don't add sugar to anything, except Asian style food, for the balance, salty, sweet, spicy, sour, the it all caramelises mmm yum, but otherwise, I don't add sugar to coffee or anything else, and the same with salt, only add that to lift flavour in cooking and then minimal. So because I never have sugar or salt, I can then occasionally buy a bag of lollies or eat salty hot chips, because those things don't constitute the main part of my diet. Everything in moderation. Too much sugar certainly reduced energy levels, lifts for a very short time, then you crash, so I try and avoid it most of the time. Fresh natural ingredients give me energy but I don't deprive myself, ever

to add to that, I eat a lot of chocolate, every day, but I need to. I have medical issues that chocolate helps with, chocolate and coffee, and I happen to love them both, so that works for me, wouldn't for everyone

Sugar or saccharine and other artificial sweeteners including Stevia. Personally I prefer to use sugar in moderation. I used to have can of Coke everyday with lunch, apparently there's till part of a block of Coke cans in the garage, I can't remember when I last drank a can of Coke.

Quoting 'Summersolstice'Quoting 'Stirry' Fuck me....the headache I've had for a week is enough to say fuck it give me back my sugar.... How many of them were you drinking? The Dare iced coffees contain the same amount of caffeine as two cups of regular coffee, and I'm wondering if the caffeine withdrawal was giving you the headache instead of the sugar. I was about to post the same thing. I do find a lot of the "sugar free, eat unprocessed" mantra doesn't hold up to scrutiny - mostly the diet isn't "sugar free" and you can match the weight loss with the lower caloric intake as most basic food isn't as energy dense - an apple has all that extra fibrous stuff filling you up.

one thing I will say is with sugared cooldrinks avoid avoid avoid, bad news, the same as those bought sachet type cappuccino things. I used to drink a lot of them, the cappuccino's that is, and they are bad news, really high in sugar, even though I was buying the 'low fat' ones, that's the catch. Low fat most of the time, translates to high sugar. But I haven't drunk sugared cooldrink in about 30 years, the other stuff is like water. The only thing I'll add to that statement is, for women, bloating is also an issue with carbonated drinks. I never drink cooldrink, even zero sugar cooldrink, unless I'm drinking it with ice and scotch or whatever, then the gas is taken out of it. If I drink without taking the gas out of it, I bloat, and that's not a good look or a good feeling, so I drink water or coffee during the day, and coke zero or diet coke with scotch. I can't understand why anyone would drink sugared cooldrinks, when there are perfectly good alternatives. Same as milk, I use skim only, not hi-lo, skim, massive difference and once you get used to it, you'll never go back to the high fat stuff, which stacks on the weight. Bought coffees or ice coffees are bad for the diet if they have hi-lo or full fat milk in. My opinion, but a lot of people don't realise the amount of energy they're putting into their bodies, more than is being burned off

Oops, sorry.. Fructose is nasty for me. I loosely follow the FODMAP guidelines, developed in Monash University, scientifically researched, not a fad diet. I shall never forget how sick I felt when I had a selection of fresh fruit every morning a few years ago. Apples aren't good for everyone. I avoid artificial sweeteners. I do not eliminate sugar totally, because I cannot fathom life without a little bit of sweetness. :-P I do avoid food that is too sweet most of the time but my new poison, exotic and fruity dessert wines - hard to resist! For me, it's about portion control and moderation.

Not adding processed sugar to your diet is quite do-able. Like most things, it's just about discipline. It's been nearly 2 years now since I stopped using processed sugar as a condiment in anything...mostly it was in coffee.For years, I would add sugar by the tablespoonfuls to my instant coffee at work...probably to mask the appalling flavour of it...until I was quite fond of the sickly sweetness of it on lots of things, like cereal.At 3-4 cups of Instant a day, for 2 weeks at a time, I was averaging 8 tablespoons a day of sugar in my coffee alone. Eventually, the thought that this might be the path to diabetes...and my current desire to live as long as possible...led me to just eliminate the added sugar in my food. That was my motivation.I don't buy it anymore and I'll still cook with it...but I'm not a big consumer of sweet food and drinks anyway...so no other dietary changes. After 3 months of cutting it out, I had dropped 15kg with no exercise or other major diet change. I guess it must have been a shock to the system. Since then, my new hobby of home brewing beer has put some of that weight back on...but I'm content. I love good beer, but I can't eat everything if I want a long life. It wasn't about losing weight in the first place...it was for the same reason as giving up smoking 8 years ago, and just needed the same methods to address it.Discipline's at the heart of quitting these things.

My mum is diabetic, was diagnosed a few years back. Has insulin 3 times a day and checks her blood sugar levels. There is certain foods she can not eat, like Frozen berries (when she visited last, I almost killed her by giving her some in her cereal. I know watermelon is another too, high in sugars. She has certain sweetners in her coffee, drinks sugar free coke. When she was diagnosed she had to change her whole eating pattern and take care in reading food labels. Her weight loss was incredable. I guess it can not be totally cut out and can be eaten in moderation. Try alternatives, like sugar free or sweenters. The Diabetic association has a great information about what one can eat or in moderation. Ms Foxy

Is a healthier alternative. Lower Gl so it doesnt feed the candida in your gut so well. Tastes better and is a totally natural product that is sustainable to the environment unlike sugar. It even has some vitamins and minerals. Great in coffee.

... And the shells are good for boobies protection too! Hehe! :-P Thanks, Annie! Saw that being sold but wasn't sure about it. I hated the aftertaste of Stevia and the mere recollection stopped me from trying coconut sugar but now that you have endorsed it... ;-) I've been using brown sugar and Gula Melaka (palm sugar) in the granules form. But as long as one eats out or has takeaway food, and loves sauces, one can't exactly eradicate sugar completely. I use a teaspoon of honey when I have my Chamomile tea at night too. And I'm so addicted to my newest discovery - Choya Brown Sugar and Rum Plum Wine Sake, so toe-curlingly good on the rock, so the sugar devil's got a hold on me. At work, if I'm designated a particular role, I'm on my feet for hours and I need to concentrate and be hyper vigilant. I'll sip on Kombucha (sugar's present!) and sometimes suck on a hard sweet to stay alert and prevent halitosis (bad breath) because I might not have a drink of water until a few hours later so there's the sugar again. I'm careful on keeping the sugar intake low because I want to avoid the inevitable post-sugar crash. I've rejected offers of chocolates and cakes at work to everyone's shock and consternation. ;-) Can't concentrate well with too much sugar in the bloodstream. My general restriction on sugar restriction works ok though. Can't and won't do a complete eradication of it though because it's going to be too hard to meet friends for meals, something I love to do.
