Sugar addicts anonymous

[Fhee]

My name is Fhee and I am a sugar addict. It has been approximately 13 hours since I ate a nutritionally void sweet treat. I am going cold turkey on:
Biscuits
Cake
Chocolate

I am not going low carb, but also out are any non-sweet treats that have the same impact on blood sugar, i.e. crisps.

I will not be cutting out fresh fruit. That’s just silly.

Anyone one else need some accountability?

Yeast overgrowth in the bowels can cause sugar cravings so it might be worth looking into this? Herbal treatments can resolve and might help reduce the cravings - the more sugar you eat the more likely you are to get a yeast/thrush overgrowth, so it’s a viscous circle.

What herbal treatments please?

How is everyone doing?

I’m not really missing sugar at all! I still have a little golden syrup in my porridge 1/2 per week and I have ketchup with certain meals but still no cakes or biscuits or anything. I never ever thought I could give those up.

Is anyone finding other things taste stronger now? I drink a lot of sugar free fizzy drink and it’s almost too sweet for me now!

Doing well so far. I've lost about half a stone and no longer crave sweet things. Like you, @2022weightlossusername I allow myself ketchup, but definitely no cakes, sweets, biscuits etc. I just generally feel better now, so I don't mind not having the things I normally love.
