Sarah Wilson's I Quit Sugar

[2madboys]

Just wondering if anyone else has done this and fancied a support thread? I started yesterday using the book but haven't signed up to the online plan.

I'm not having potatoes.
I do eat sweet potatoes occasionally.

For breakfast I usually have
Boiled eggs or
Scrambled eggs with salmon or mushrooms.
Ham omelette
Porridge with cinnamon and a banana.
Sometimes toast with cottage cheese.

Toast is my nemesis. So I try to avoid if possible.

So you can see the main theme for brekky is eggs!
Keeps me full until lunchtime.

Hi, can i join you? I am suenan and I am addicted to sugar. It's quite scarey to feel so dependent on in, especially as there is a family history of type 2 diabetes. I went no-sugar before and felt great. Then it slipped....


I was thinking of just going cold turkey. But then I saw this thread. Is the book a real help then? My added challenge, is that I am (95%) vegan so it gets a bit more complicated looking for alternatives.

For those craving chocolate. This sugar-free raw chocolate is great
www.lovechock.com/en/. It's expensive but a little bit of it, does the trick.

Hi all. Can I join the thread. I've got the book which I must confess to finding very useful - although some of the Aussie-isms and cute recipe names drive me slightly nuts.

I am on day 2 and have about 9lbs to lose. But more importantly I want to get rid of the sugar slump cycle I've been on for quite a while now.

haggis cute recipe names? do you think it would be suitable for someone who follows a vegan diet?

Like you, I have some weight to lose, about the same as you actually. But the most important thing is to get rid of the mad cravings. I am on day one and fallen off the wagon already - I was offered chocolate at work and took it. Boo...time to get back on it. Well, at least it is a reduction. Are you going cold turkey or reducing.

Suenan - I think she addresses veganism in her book. It's just about doable she says but a bit trickier. She uses eggs a lot thinking of it ...
The general idea is to eat lots of protein with good fats and veggies so you don't feel hungry. Yes, there are things called Choco Muggins and stuff.

Rehashing this post - anyone else still doing this? I started about a month ago, not doing the online programme or anything, just bought the cook books & am basically cutting out processed food (sauces, bread, pasta) but I do like my fruit. So far I've lost weight but more importantly feel much better, much less tired. My biggest weakness is wine on a Friday & Saturday night!! Which then leads to big sugar cravings the next day which manage to avoid by stuffing myself with veg till in so full I don't want to eat anymore! :/ I've cut out all takeaways & have 80% dark choc (yuck!!) or Naked bars as my sweet treats. I seem to be eating a lot of cheese & eggs. Any ideas for breakfasts? Anyone else doing this who wants to hold hands during the sugar cravings?! And share receipes?
