Day two with no sugar. Will my head explode??

[csr1210]

When I ditched sugar, it took me about four days to feel decent. Unfortunately for me, all simple carbohydrates affect me like pure sugar - even some whole grain stuff, so I was eating fairly low carb overall (cooked alot of brocolli, spinach, and greenbeens). All that to say, if you find yourself having serious cravings or blood sugar spikes after a week or two, it might be something besides the more refined sugars setting you off. While I was off the "white stuff" (about 4 years), I felt great and had absolutely no problem maintaining a healthy weight without obsessing about food, but alas, we moved, I got lazy, and am once again a slave to sugar.

Good for you on taking the plunge! Truly, the first three or four days are the hardest, and then you adjust pretty fast. Later on, if I was craving sweet, I'd just have a little piece of sugar free chocolate for the emotional satisfaction. You only overeat stuff with sugar alcohol once! (well...maybe...twice)

Good luck on kicking the habit -- maybe you will inspire me!
