Hey guys I ran today for the first time in a while lol and I plan to do it more often

[bannacookies]

I try really hard to stay away from cane sugar. I still eat vsugar" in fruits and so forth. But not in honey, came sugar, maple syrup, etc. Once I stopped eating cane sugar I lost quite a bit of weight & had more energy. There's a lot of alternatives that you can use like fruit sugars to make desserts that taste really good. And it's kind of fun to learn how to make your own desserts and candies and so forth. It takes a lot of determination but it gets easy the more you stay away from it. After the third week, you don't miss it much, at least that was the case for me.

I love frozen bananas and mandarins a lot

[bannacookies]

Hence my name bannacookies (spin off of banana cookies) I use bananas as a sweetener for my baked goods.

I think it helps if you don't try to go cold turkey and just try to start cutting down. For example, if you love milky chocolate, you can start working towards darker chocolate with higher Cacao... maybe starting at something like 75% Cacao all the way to 90%. The darkest types are quite bitter but can still hit that chocolate/sweet craving with much less added sugar and fewer calories.

Also, I think it helps to prioritize sugar in liquids since liquid calories tend to be the least satiating (you might want to eat just as much even if you have a sugary beverage with your food). So, for example, if you like to add a packet or two of sugar in your coffee, maybe cut it down to half, and get used to that, then cut it down again by half, and get used to that, until you're okay with taking your coffee without any sugar.

Dont buy sugary stuff. Rots your teeth and insides. Makes You lose energy, makes you grogy, makes you fat, it's just not worth it. Every time you have a urge, try drinking a glass of cold water I myself I'd I bug something sugary I'll destory it in 2 days. So when I do my groceries, I just don't buy it. I zoom by lol. Then when I'm at home and have urges, I have nothing to eat that's sugary and it passes. The longer you hold out the better Yoh end up controlling it. Just have it like once a week.

[pink_and_inlove]

But fruits are okay right? I have an addiction to frozen bananas lol

[Paul09]

Fruits are awesome! But yeah, you can't have too much of them. Basically you can't have too much of anything. Modération.

[pink_and_inlove]

I don’t I’ll let a banana a day or a banana and a half

[kidvid80]

while i cannot convince you to let it go, maybe in moderation cause the sugar substitutes are horrible tasting. have it sparingly cause if you totally cut it out you will loose your mind and then binge on it, dont cut it out entirely. just restrict the amount and frequency of it in your diet

[ohshee]

That's my name sugar you don't have to let me go lol. sugar is bad for you I can eat a chocolate cake in two days and then make another one for the last past 2 weeks I've stopped almost all my sugar that depends on the food that I eat did break down into sugar this is a hard thing to do I went grocery shopping today I was in the cake aisle and I had to just keep on walking LOL but that's the cake the cookies that Donuts all I can say is good luck but you can do it I know that just make a choice. No sugar for today can you get up in the morning just say nope no sugar for me today

[ohshee]

Good job but if you want to do something better for yourself you don't need to run you need to walk at a really fast pace 30 minutes a day for 30 days your body all your whole body will turn right up every part of your body will tone up but ask me 3 minutes today and has to be a walking really fast well at a fast pace put it that way

[Dinklex3]

I stopped consuming added sugar for 2 months.. I didn't see any difference in my body or skin, but I'm pretty sure it was because I was already dieting and intermittent fasting.
I think if you're diet isn't great before and you start it it'll improve your energy and skin

[Anonymous]

Let go of your sugar? Who is he? Is there a problem with how he acts? Seriously, sugar is clearly bad for your body, and cutting way back on sugar is good for anyone. Sugar interferes with good nutrition, because it has empty calories, and tends to make us overweight. Sugar also tends to make us less alert.

[Tunasub]

Hey.. my name is Sugar and I know how difficult this may be for you, believe me it's just as hard for me... it's would be easier if I just put it into song👇🏾

Tell yourself that pop corn and chicken nuggets and cabbage soup taste better than skittles and Mars bars.

[yofuknutz]

She has a point

[slatyb]

Why do you want to? What sugary foods are you consuming?

[EaterPeter]

Are you talking about consuming sugar in food or drink?

[pink_and_inlove]

Both Im a sugar addict today I ate very badly I ordered a small frap drink at Starbucks, a cake pop, and I literally just ate a bar of chocolate right now I don’t know what’s wrong with me but today I did really bad lol at least I know now that I have a problem maybe Im comfort eating without noticing.

[pink_and_inlove]

It’s also bad that I eat veggies and go back to sugar

[Pterodon]

You take narcotics to deal with physical pain. You use a rebound to deal with emotional pain

[Pterodon]

Sorry wrong person lol

[pink_and_inlove]

@Pterodon Im in a happy relationship right now so maybe I’m just being stupid and careless

[Pterodon]

It’s ok. Stop being so hard on yourself. If he loves you he won’t care at all

[pink_and_inlove]

@Pterodon I had a talk with my mom about my weight today if I don’t start taking care of myself now I’m fucked. I want to take care of myself better today I made very stupid choices

[pink_and_inlove]

I have to stop being tempted my chocolate, noodles, donuts, sugary drinks, etc. every time I go out

[pink_and_inlove]

And this isn’t sugar but I already want noodles tomorrow lol and that’s not healthy

[Pterodon]

What you have to look at is WHY are you consuming. This is what counseling is good for

[pink_and_inlove]

@Pterodon just impulse I guess

[Pterodon]

No it’s deeper than that

[EaterPeter]

You may be anxiety / comfort / stress eating. As other guy said we need to find a trigger. what causes it.

[EaterPeter]

You have noticed it though.

[EaterPeter]

You are carb craving too. All foods have some kind of sugar.

[EaterPeter]

Pasta contains carbs and sugar.

[EaterPeter]

One thing you can do is cut down your portions in 3/4.

[EaterPeter]

Another thing build self control. Which is most difficult to build lot of times.

[EaterPeter]

Another thing you can do is identify trigger and change go to action. So you feel to consume sugary food go for walk instead. Or replace with any good habit for that sake.

[EaterPeter]

Apply 5 minite rule if you cannot get yourself to walk.

[EaterPeter]

Say I am just going to walk for 5 minutes just 5 minutes that's not too long, is it?

[EaterPeter]

Thanks for like!

[pink_and_inlove]

Thank you for your answers

[EaterPeter]

You're welcome

[GoodGuyBreakingBad]

I know how it sucks to like things loaded with sugar in them I always make the same mistakes

[collie22]

sugar is addicting and put in so many things to keep you buying

[Iron_Man]

You have to be mentally disciplined and start cutting back have some self-control

[Still-alive]

Think of a huge pile of poop before you eat one… should disgust you enough to stop it

[Miah02]

Stop eating sugar or I'm taking your phone 😡

[pink_and_inlove]

Lmao

[Miah02]

Hehe

[yofuknutz]

Oh I'm so scared

[Deku2009]

Have you tried limiting what sugar you eat /drink. Are you developing a belly

[Pterodon]

If you’re going to replace it with stevia or aspartame no I can’t

[101username101]

Some places whiten sugar using cow bones that have been turned into dust ♥
Quite disgusting

[Citrushi]

Don't buy it. Control yourself buying hoho, pop, ice cream, cookie. Cookies only sometimes.

[jimmy2]

Well when you get 260 to 300 pounds in weight you will know

[pink_and_inlove]

I won’t let it go that far. I’m asking this question because I care and because I want to make a change in my life.

[jimmy2]

Go to splenda

[pink_and_inlove]

Or frozen bananas lol

[StunningANDbrave]

It can and will make you a fatass

[Anonymous]

[Anonymous]
