Can’t beleive it’s taken me so long to realise that after all these years if failed diets and a creeping waist line that I have been in denial for so long about sugar! Ofcourse ! Geronimo! I am on day 2 of cutting out sugar and am feeling less bloated and more alert and happier by the hour. I am intrigued to see how many benefits there are to giving up the White stuff and the harm I have been doing to myself all these years. Scary! Thanks for the hints and tips everyone. I know it’s early days- progress not perfection Currently drinking lots of water and tea as am feeling dehydrated.

Ive started no carb/ no sugar diet 4 days ago. I feel horrible, massive headache, tired, sick, muscle pain and moody, but im fighting it. My goal is to get healthy and learn to enjoy sugar and carbs in the future once and awhile. Im not a big girl, 5’4 135 pounds, but not fit and not healthy, Im sick of feeling tired and sick, and want to see if this changes my feelings.
We shall see how 1 month goes =) Im excited, but discouraged at the same time.

Hi, I’m really motivated to break from my sugar addiction. I’ve stopped cold turkey other drugs for 4 years now, but this one is the one that’s taken over and blur my clarity.
I like this 30 day no sugar challenge…
By the way, winter squash soup with cinnamon is really a great sugar craving suppressor and really delicious. I just cut up organic squash, one leak, let it simmer in water, mash it all up when it’s nice and soft, and then add a little salt cinnamon, it does the trick!
peace and happiness to all!

We just took on this challenge as well. In fact it is my Monday Call to Arms! We still do use raw honey, a bit of maple syrup and some coconut sugar but all in all we find that days without sugar go by and we don’t miss it! Bravo that you have started to spread the word!
Hope you stop by http://theorganicblonde.com and see us

I am on day 4 of no sugar and am feeling withdrawals, but hanging in there. The one thing that I do love is potatoes and from what I understand they have a lot of sugar in them. Good luck to everyone on their journey to a sugar free lifestyle.

A little late but I just stumbled upon this blog and this post. It was such an encouragement to read. I have been feeling the need to do this sort of giving up all sugars since I had my last baby (6 months ago). I really let myself become addicted to sugar (even processed ones) when I was pregnant with him. I have been cutting certain ‘bad’ sugars out of my diet the past few weeks but love this idea of the whole family getting back to start again.
I just wanted you to know how much this meant to me! I’ve already posted the button on my blog! Thanks again!

Emmie- It didn’t work for me. I still have bumps. I’m sorry!

Can cutting sugar really get rid of keritosis pylaris (bumps on your arms)? I have it pretty badly, and if it was really just nasty processed foods causing it all along, I’m in 100%!

I know this article is a year old… so I’m wondering how it went and how you’re doing now.

Thanks!
