I stopped eatlng sugar for a week and I feel ten years younger and I have lost 6 pounds.

Stopped eating, losing weight quick here too!

If u drink soda

It is time to stop now

Good for u op!

Unhealthy, ha, what a brainwashed twat.

I actually stopped soft drinks years ago, very rarely had one.

I have always been a bread lover, but I felt like such shit waking up with the acid reflux and pains that I was ready to try anything.

About three days after I cut out bread altogether, I felt much better. Today, just a week after I started, I feel completley healed.

If anyone is suffering from what I was, I beg you to try it. I felt like I was dying or something.

Sugar is a Drug and most people are Addicted.

The very first use of refined sugar was not in our diet. It was in the medical profession.

They inject it into peoples veins.

You stopped eating gluten too from the sound of it, and shitty grain based carbs. Congrats.

Considering humanity did quite well for tens of thousands of years before the processed sugar industry took hold.

It is you Sir that is a twat.

You're right,OP... I've done this before. It really does make you feel better. Fruits replace sugar and you feel gadzillion times more energetic and healthy and acid reflux gone.

The holidays did me in... Have to get back on a healthy diet.

I did not know that! Interesting.

I'm trying too but sugar is hard to give up. Any advice would be helpful OP?

I think the twat refers to the girl at work that told the OP it was unhealthy to quit sugar.

You're ire is misdirected.

.

The times I've gone gluten/sugar free, after a few days I'd call the smell of bread, "white death."

It really makes a big big big difference.

Replace that shit with bacon, steak, baked potatoes with real butter ... and so forth.

Lose weight, feel full, have energy.

.

Aren't fruits pretty much pure sugar? Like bananas and oranges. There are some fruits that have a lower sugar content such as some of the berries and melons. Don't they all convert into glucose in the body?

I haven't eaten gluten, grains, dairy or sugar in over 6 years. I would never eat them again. I feel a world better.

Good for you OP!

The first two days was rough. I went and got a big pack of steaks, some block cheese and some mushrooms.

I just powered through it, no real trick. It was not as bad because I love steak. And I drank really cold distilled water from the fridge, which tastes better than sweet drinks to me now.

I basically eat some mixed nuts and jerky or beef during the day, and then at night I have eaten steak, chicken and pork. Vegetables are fine. Zero bread, rolls, sweets, no sugary condiments like ketchup. Mustard is fine.

I lost 6 pounds and did not watch calories, just ate til I felt full. I do some weights after work and fifteen min of jumping jacks

I guess it is kind of keto, but really it is just sugar. Carbs in vegetables seem fine.

Yup. I love green apples, and I am going to test one a day out next month to see what happens. But yeah, many fruits trigger a lot of the same reactions as table sugar. Apples are low GI, I believe.

Cut out white potatoes, they bloat you and make you have blowouts

the sugar in fruit is natural as sugar thats refined is bad.

cane sugar in moderation is good.

and stevia.

I have cut them out as well,they basically turn to sugar as well, from what I have read.

Potatoes are poison too.

Try brown rice instead.

it's bizarro world

You missuderstood the poster. Say sorry.

anothr benefit of never ever consuming any grains,sugar etc is you'll develop a level of resistance to sunburn that most would think only a negro could possess [link to wellnessmama.com]

5 stars. Thanks OP. I also have reflux and it gets worse when I eat gluten, even though I'm not a celiac.. the more bread, the worse it gets... also alcohol.

Can you do this COLD TURKEY or should you wean off sugar ?

Then it is clear Sir that I am a Twat and my posting has now proven all my Twatery to all the the world.

I am appalled and ashamed at my actions and will step down from any future posting duties within this thread.

I can only hope that my Twatery has not tarnished the great reputation that GLP holds.

And may the Lord please have Mercy upon my soul.

I went cold turkey. I have tried to wean off suger before bit by bit and I always ended up failing. You get that sugar buzz and then crash and not eating more to feel normal is really hard.

My energy level is very even now, it is great.I drink some black coffee because of the antioxidants and energy boost once in awhile. I always thought coffee was causing me to crash, but nope, little boost and I am back to feeling good.

So are you basically trying to get your body to run off of ketones? Kind of like the paleo lifestyle.

Oh I can't eat most breads totally give me horrible bad heart burn and acid reflux :( I always assumed it was the yeast in it. I love bread too some brands don't bother me as much and homemade is normally ok for me

I get reflux sometimes and I've found it's when I've had wheat. When I stick to grains like oats, rye and spelt I have no problems.
