I drink energy drinks. I need to stop. I cut out soda for the last month or so. Everytime I eat dinner with my family they have dessert. I was raised that it is rude to refuse food.

Not anymore. Sugar is an addiction, almost as bad as some drug addictions. I was a terrible sugar junkie.... litres of energy drinks a day and high carb meals, sometimes candy and chocolate. Now the only high sugar food I eat is fresh fruit and legumes. I also avoid grains but sometimes indulge, usually after a workout and at the weekly family gatherings. Getting clean from the sugar addiction (processed and nutritious-less sugar) is among one of the best things I've done, along with opiates  I completely refuse to eat any processed sugar now, even at the weekly family gatherings. It is just giving into that sugar rush and craving

I used to eat tons of sugar from the age of 8 to 14, my parents never gave me sugar as a child but i discovered it at friends houses and started a candy addiction, had to get like 6 teeth pulled because of it in 4th grade. then i sort of slowly woke up and started to understand the difference between glucose and processed sugar. I still go through little sugar eating binges for a few days where I eat lots of cookies or something when I'm super stressed out, but then I stop myself. Now i drink mostly only water, and eat good food. I'd rather the occasional drug use which feels better than the shitty sugar rush which decays ur teeth.

The sugar substitutes and the butter substitutes are just as bad as what they're replacing. JUST FUCKING STOP.Have some snacks early then eat one large meal of vegetables at the end of the day. I check every single box when I go to the store and make sure nothing I buy has any added sugar. I just checked my weight today and I'm down to a skeletal 144 even though I have a large 6'3 frame. I know it doesnt look good but I dont care. When you take this many drugs you gotta go the veggies.

Yes I consume to much sugar, I at a lot of fruit and greek yogurt, and since it's that time of year, some Halloween candy.
I use stevia in my coffee though, or in oatmeal. I can't have to much sugar, makes me feel depressed if I eat to much of it.
I saw a video about the actors in the movie 300, and the guy that helped them get in shape for their roles, said cutting sugar will lean you out quick.
I plan on giving this a try again in the near future, ive done it before with great results.

I eat no sugar except from usually a small amount of fruit every day.

you are aware that fruits contain sugars arent you
But fruits have fiber which slow the absorption of sugar and phytonutients/Hormetic compounds that reduce or eliminate the negative effects. Depending on what fruit you eat, of course. I don't think bananas are probably all that good but berries are very good for you.

Yeah, Stevia is one of the only sugar-replacements that is actually good for you. It doesn't taste all that great... But if you get the flavored kinds they taste really good. I use the vanilla one for smoothies and what not.
And the Stevia sodas are really good. We have those where I work and I drink em all the time.
I'm 6 ft 2 and weigh 160 no matter what I eat. I could eat nothing but sugary crap all day erry day and still be 160. But honestly, I feel so much better after going hard on the healthy eating and excercise that it blows my mind actually how much different I feel and look from when I used to not give a shit about what I put into my body.

Rarely to barely. I don't have much of a sweet tooth. I turn down sweets all the time. All though I will slay a bag of sour patch kids or hot tamales if I'm in the mood/really stoned.
Other than that though it's very rarely. If I go on a drinking binder and sober up for the first couple weeks I'll consume tons of sugar and salt however. And caffeine.

when I was in my teens I drank a lot of soft drinks, after I turned 18 I cut them out all together and had not had one for about 10 years, the first one I drank was a coke which is what I had always drank as a kid, i will admit, it tasted really bad
