The way I cut out sugar was to read everything I could about how bad it is for your body. The thing that really got me to stay away is the idea that it's really the yeast overgrowth in our bodies that craves the sugar. Once you "starve" the yeast, you no longer crave sugar. Then later, if you want something sweet, ask yourself if it will really feed your body or just feed the yeast and start up the vicious cycle again.

I lost about 5 lbs. without trying, just by not eating sugar/processed foods.

Good Luck!
