Officially from today, my war against SUGAR has started!

Hi HW family, I just want to share what I think about this issue. Sorry if it's heart breakingly boring xD

As being a research and scientific meta-analysis freak, LOL, I've been collecting data about this subject for a long long time now. And this video shot the last bullet;

Of course all scientists/drs say different things and everyone is free to pick whatever they want to eat. But I think I'll stick to believe that excessive amount of sugar is not needed, besides very dangerous for our health.

Since I've read a couple of books about healthy eating and watched quite many conference videos from various Phd DRs, Hereby I promise that I will never touch any product with added sugar inside (including stevia, other sweeteners and fruit juice). I will just keep on eating adequate amount of fruit daily (because of vitamin nutrients and fiber) and my regular vegetable/legume/nuts rich diet.

Instead of wasting time worrying about what type of C. I will get, I decided to take action in making my body and immune system stronger. Of course this may not reduce my health anxiety since it's a different issue, but I will try my best to support my body.
Right now I'm reading the book called "Year of No Sugar" and I recommend it. It's quite fun and interesting read.

And S.C. , sorry ;-; I won't be giving any cupcakes, cookies and brownies from now on :/
But I learned an ice cream recipe just with bananas, cocoa powder and organic peanut butter :D lol

Hey Rr,

Best wishes on the sugar detox! There are many healthy alternatives that are delicious...my hubs is diabetic, so I have had great results cooking with stevia/sugar alternatives. :)

The ice cream sounds great and I'll contribute a sugar free nectarine crisp! :)

S.C.

Hi Rakkma

Have just gone a month giving up added sugar buiscuits cakes etc and I feel a lot better. I've had a long history of using sugar foods for comfort and used to enjoy a sugar rush, but I believe sugar made me so moody, what I mean is my blood sugar was roller coasting and I had a lot of highs and lows throughout the day. Things feel more steady now but strange to say I kind of miss the feelings I used to get from eating sweets (it's been a life long habit) Anyway it will probably take time to totally adjust to this new way of eating I have tried to quit sugar many times before but have always relapsed sugar has been a big chunk of my life for so long Anyway cheers to you and yes fruit is a great substitute! I am a fan of substitutes I gave up smoking last year thanks to using the substitute of an E. ciggarette.

Thanks friends for the support

and yes John, I know it is going to be tough but I like challenges xD
We will see.
Yeah stevia can be ok I guess but first I really want to try without any sugar substitute, and see how my body handles it.

If any of you want to know more about this sugar issue, search for the name Robert Lustig M.D. While searching for his conferences and text, you will find many other amazing names who fight against the usage of Sugar. Especially in the U.S.

Good luck ^^
