Anyone wants to join me in 30 days of no chocolate, biscuits, sweets, crisps, basically i will try to avoid foods containg more than 5g of sugar per 100g. I have been out of control again and need to reset my taste as have been craving sugar all the time.

Just wanted to wish you both luck, I’m 15 months sugar free now. I feel so much better.

I'll join, I have zero self control, so hopefully we can spur each other on

I did this once 6 years ago now and lost 12lbs in the 30 days!

i am definitely up for it, but not until tomorrow!

How are you doing?

I was really tempted by a biscuit this morning but resisted and I managed to pick up some things from the supermarket without buying myself any treats.

I think for me, it's just a bad habit. I mindlessly eat treats and sugar for no reason whatsoever. Just because it's there, I guess.

I haven't had anything sweet from yesterday morning, which is good considering i have about 10 bars of 90% dark chocolate in the cupboard. Yes for me its also just a habit, i have a bit and then just carry on ,not even thinking about it, just need to break this circle and go back to just having a bit of dark chocolate after dinner. I haven't been this bad for years, it started it lockdown and then it just got worse. I have done Sarah Wilson program 'i quit sugar 'about 10 years ago and that really reset my taste .

I’m only giving up junk food, not full sugar. So I have had a banana today, and I’ll also allow smoothies / fruit juice (occasionally).

normally school holidays I find quite difficult but been busy today so it’s been ok. I had poached egg on toast for breakfast, a jacket potato with Mediterranean vegetables, chorizo and cheese and because i was already cutting all of that up, I just did loads more and put it into a pasta bake (homemade sauce) for dinner. And as I say, a banana for snack as we have a late dinner today as I won’t be home until about 6:30 and then need to bung it in the oven to heat through.

No sugar since last night here. I'm even having a coffee right now sugar free. Just added extra milk to make it taste creamier.

FLOWER1983 · 03/06/2022 14:42

How is everyone doing? I have managed to avoid the sugar except for a few pieces of 90% dark chocolate so not too bad by my standards.

Hi, well done op. I've not had any sugar since Sunday night. But that's because I haven't been anywhere where someone was serving a homemade cake.... always my downfall.

I don't keep much in the way of sugary eats at home, so all I'm craving is jam on my toast.
