[Bigblackted4]

I’m about 8 days in from not eating sweets and it hasn’t got any easier and my energies are lower, can anybody help me with some tips, before I turn to energy drinks with 0 sugar.

I used to eat a lot of candy and drink a lot of juice

Atleast 2-3 bags of hairbo and trolli snacks a day

Eventually I just started taking sports more serious and held me sugar intake to powerade

I don’t think you should cold turkey it, I’d say limit yourself to two bags a week and see if u can slowly reel back. This is one of the few situations I actually recommend the gym

Dont stop, start by moderating your sugar consumption until you can change to a better alternative. As others said fruits, zero sugar drinks etc. If you drink tea in the morning, drink it without sugar. I pretty much have mind control over my consumption of processed sugar and can choose when I want a bottle of c0ke or a tall cup of water. You dont want to stop consume sugar, you want to stop the cravings.

I’ve been in the gym 4-5 times a week since I moved to Atlanta and it hasn’t made it better and all I have done is tone up some and gain more stamina but my appetite for sugar hasn’t changed. I just did the Peachtree road race last month which is a 10k

i think you should go in phases

I started with sugar in drinks. Went to zero sugar options or tried to sub in water as much as possible. (Cut the alcohol too)

Then I added in more fruit over time. I'll grab a movie box of candy ever so often but it got a lot better.

Yeah I’ve been trying zero sugar drinks but it hasn’t killed my intense want for sugar stuff. I’m scared I’m going to relapse even harder soon and kill the progress .

• Heavy moderation
• Realized that the additives in the sweets are slowing you down
• Water is essential
• Freeze pops can help balance that craving
• Fruits will ease up the desire to snack on candy

eat fruits , not juice since most have added sugars.
