RE: GIVING UP SUGAR FOR 2 WEEKS!! EXPERIMENT!

in #food7 years ago

Been there done that!
And it works if you want to loose weight.
But the "weening off" process is a bit like giving up tobacco or any 'addiction', you will have cravings!
Good luck!

Sort:  

ooh god, I'm dreading it!! yes wanna lose weight as well!!

Think of it like a holiday.

  1. Decide to have one
  2. how & were to go

So

  1. How much weight?

I picked a number, set a time frame.

  1. Divide amount by time = perweek

12 mth later I'd done it. and then I set a 2nd (smaller) goal & 3mths later I'd done that also.

But the plan was set a goal first.

Sugar is "evil", the hard part is the addiction
but the good news is, once you ween off, all is OK. (maybe takes a week?)

but remember carbs = sugar!!
eat carbs and the 'craving' prob comes back!

so stock up on all the fruit / nuts / vege / "stuff" you can.
They won't hurt but at least you have "snacks" when cravings hit :-)

good luck!

ooh gosh its only day two and I'm really feeling not great!!! i will try! i already had nuts and fruit and veg!!! thanks thou!!

Hang in there the DT's are not good.
I got shakes, sweats & felt bad, really bad.
But lots of water helped, and I think I ate a few KG's of bananas, apples and dried fruit every day, just to fill my stomach & avoid the 'evil white stuff'....hang in there it gets easier!
