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

[teawoman]

I soooooooooo understand what you are saying! This is tough to do. I did it successfully for about 6 months and lost quite a bit of weight. ! Then I fell a bit off the wagon and have been maintaining. What helped me was eating the sweeter fruits and veggies, like nectarines, carrots, corn, fresh pineapple, bananas. That, and reserving once a week for a treat like a dessert (small hot fudge sundae or something like that). Some weeks I would dream about what the treat was going to be , other weeks I'd even forget to get one. But what was great was that I felt AMAZING!!!!! Very calm and zen and yet energetic. Oh, and the fake sugar stuff did *not* help. It created cravings.

Now I'm trying to do it again and it is *tough*. For me, it took about two weeks before I started feeling the benefits.

p.s. It took me longer than 4 or 5 days to adjust. Maybe a week and a half, during which I griped and complained a whole lot.
