    Default Diet/Breaking Help!

    Hello, I wanted to start a thread showing the results of removing sugar from my diet so far.. I seem to run into this struggle everytime and thought I would shed some light on my issue that may help others trying to start a new diet. As it nears Halloween those sugar temptations have grown stronger and I have found myself wanting to open the bags of candy early, well before the holiday season. I have had some tremendous support from my boyfriend denying me sugar like I have requested of him, reminding me to eat a fruit instead. Since I have changed my diet I have seen some crazy improvements as far my skin being more firm, having a more moisturized appearance and muscles aches from just running around for 20-30min a day. (improving) My sleep has also been going back to normal and can get up in the mornings! (Huge step as I have lived with insomnia for a long time!) I feel less ill, but I am only 2 weeks into my diet and the waves for sugar are getting more and more difficult. I'd hate to start over and I really feel out of control once I eat a small bit of sugar. (Feel like it sets me back) My family has had an addiction to sugar. I would like to better my health so I can live a happy life locking abuse and sugar behind me.

    Im so understand you!
    I honestly tried to eat more fats to reduce that craving for sugar, drink apple cider vinegar,take chromium.
    But here is my thought.
    Craving for sugar could be from:
    1) you are close to your period. Very common for me, i always want a chocolate, but i cant eat it! I do not tolerate something in chocolate i get very painfull cyst acne. I just bake something like a biscuit with apple cream and coconut oil.
    2)you have a candida. That bitch can actually cause you a crave for sweets.
    3)physocolgical attachment. You eat it it makes you feel good, like smoking for smokers.
    4) unstable blood sugar. My sugar used to be low and suddenly drop, so ofc i reached for something sweet.i used to eat high carb diet, does not suit me. Im sensetive to sugar and carbs. I eat high fat diet, i feel much better from that kind if food.
    Pity when i was a child i loved to eat mostly sweets. Sugar really dandeous substance which can cause: cancer,candida overgrow,tooth decay, leaching your body of minerals, diabetes, etc.
    I still eat sometimes sweets. But ireplaced for example white sugar with cane sugar/coconut sugar/ mapple sugar and honey. I sometimes use as sweetners some superfood powders such as lucuma powder,or Ceylon cinamon,carrob powder.

    Erythritol - it's basically a sugar alcohol so when you eat it your blood sugar is stable and doesn't skyrocket like it would with regular sugars/glucose. I always reach for this when I'm trying to lean out and it helps immensely. You can find it at your local health food store or online.

    Sugar is as addictive as cocaine and heroine, according to some studies.

    Thanks guys for the great advice, taking note to replace sugar with Erythritol/coconut sugar next grocery trip, which would be helpful to replace syrup in creamer/coffee. (been drinking black till I found a replacement) M&Ms are by far the worst cravings I have had thus far and packed with all that dye I shriek now at how much I ate in the past! you don't really think about how much sugar you consume till you take the time to read through everything with serious links to cancer and everything described. Still dreading Halloween, but at least I have some mind set now of how to control these cravings when they show their ugly head once again handing out candy to the kids!
    So far I have replaced sugar with Inositol, will look into more options down the road. It is way more difficult to stop than just past medication so I'd believe it as being more addictive!
