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

[tribogota]

I have tried every day for the last 10 days to get through ONE single day without sugar. I don't need to lose weight but I am hypoglycemic so sugar messes with everything in me. Haven't made it through one day yet though...sigh, but I have eaten less, I have been drinking coffee when I crave sugar, takes the craving away, but of course not sleeping as well (duh, maybe I'll go buy decaf today).

I get bad reactions with sugar( immune system crashes - sugar is BAD for me), and shingles.
So, when I gave it up, I thought I would die!! I was working in a candy shop, mind you.
This is what I did.
Stevia( buy it at health food shops) in tea( I use roobois, as I cant have black tea). It also helps regulate your blood sugar and is so much sweeter than. Plus, since it isnt a' fake' sugar, it doesnt make you crave calories( as the others have shown to do - even MAKE you gain weight).
I keep apples in the house at all times. And carrots.
Sometimes( very rare) I will have a diet soda, if I am at a party or something and everyone is loading up on cakes and such.

But mostly, I thought of what it does.It cross links your proteins, which MAKES YOU AGE FASTER> wrinkles and all!! No way!!

tribogota, you might try cutting back on sugar gradually rather than giving it up all at once.

Or find a friend who has had life threatening health problems that could be yours, but you could reduce your risk or symptoms by cutting back sugar. Then ask her to tell you frequently how bad her life sucks!

I've been amazed at how many foods we automatically make with sugar, that don't need it at all. The wassail I made yesterday without any sweetener was absolutely delicious. It was the same recipe as any other wassail but no brown sugar, or honey, or sugar. Apple cider, cranberries, cinnamon sticks and cloves.
