Has anyone given up sugar and do they look younger?

[DonkeysYears]

I'm feeling ugh this week. Cold, grumpy and I feel I look bloody ancient. I'm thinking about giving up sugar in the hope of my face improving.
Has anyone done it? If so, do you look younger? Is it really worth giving up lovely lovely chocolate??

That's a great start frankie and it sounds like you've enjoyed what you've eaten so far today so you don't feel like you're punishing yourself. Aim to reduce your sugar, as you are doing, and don't beat yourself up for stuff like low levels of sugar in cereal.

And I am no saint by the way - I've had 2 slices of cake today because they were available at a meeting and I thought well sod it! No more for the rest of the week now.....

And the other thing is absolutely no 'low sugar' or 'low fat' versions of anything ever. Horrid stuff.

Shedloads of chocolate leftover from Christmas! It's just sat there taunting me...

Thanks for the encouragement Lottapianos! Tomorrow might be different as I'm in the office and am rubbish at prepping food to take in with me...but maybe I should start.

I've been doing it for a year and it's really not.

I've eaten a small bowl of porridge with half a banana, a bowl of home made lentil soup and some melon so far today.

Supper will be cod baked with tomato and served with steamed kale and green beans.
There might be a banana for pudding if I feel like it.

I like eating this way and do not feel hard done by or that I'm missing out on anything.

If I'm invited out to friends, I eat what they eat, I feel lucky to have people in my life who like me enough to feed me.

I give up sugar every night but I don't look much younger in the morning.
