It seems like everyone around me is on a "no sugar, nothing white" diet trend. It is very atkins like, but no one is calling it Atkins. What appeals to me about this is the immediate results. Two people I have known for years have had amazing success since January - 70 lbs. of success.

I'm doing it now and it's brilliant. It's the only way I've found that I can lose weight and not feel like I'm half starving myself of fighting cravings all the time. I think you should give it a try.

I have very few vices left, but the one I will never give up is sweets (esp. chocolate). I do, however, limit them and am trying very hard to learn moderation. Sometimes I can resist, sometimes I can't. I have learned to really enjoy fresh and frozen fruits. I know that different things work for different people. As long as you went into it knowing it was a "jump start" type thing for a limited time, it might work. As for me, I'd be afraid that trying to go without any sugars at all would only end up leading to binging on them, and that's something I'm trying to avoid!

I'm not expert, but I have been reading a lot in this area. Keep the fruits. If you stay within your calorie goals there is no harm. Protein rich diets work not because carbs are the enemy, but because high protein foods are usually more satisfying and help you control caloric intake. Natural sugars are ALWAYS better than refined products. Report Inappropriate Comment |

I am doing it right now, and I am in my 7th week with doing without sugar, processed or any refined foods. They say some fruits have too much sugar, well I look at it this way, it's natural untouched by man made additives, how can it be wrong no matter how much sugar is in it. So I eat it anyway, and just add it to my calories for the day. I have had no cravings to the day. I have 56 lbs to lose, and also to kick diabetes to the curb. Report Inappropriate Comment |
I absolutely hate coming into the office, after my weekend off, to trash and dirty bathrooms. Really, I am the only one with a college degree that can empty trash and use a Lysol wipe???

Gosh - with kids - that is my home, sometimes. My bathroom is off limits. I absolutely know what you mean - it is like they think it is someone else's job - and if you're willing to do it - why not? Hope your day gets better - sending Happy Monday wishes your way. Sumay Report Inappropriate Comment |
