I don’t want to give up sugar entirely. I want to reduce the amount of refined sugar I eat as much as I can. I know the cookies and sweet cereals I eat happen when I am tired, haven’t eaten enough, am stressed, am in social situtations, etc. I don’t feel great when buzzed on sugar but I can’t seem to stop myself. So I will be looking for substitutes. Fruit, non-white sugar natural sweeteners (honey, etc). But not to go crazy on them. The goal is reduce sugar intake overall. I did Joey Schulmann’s natural diet makeoever once. No sugar, wheat, meat for 5 days. Lots of veggies, only a bit of fish, brown rice and non-gluten grains and lots of water for 5 days. No eating after 7 p.m. After 5 days I felt amazing, with no other supplemements or crazy detox things to take. Just based on food. But that was hard to sustain. So wonder if cold turkey for 5 days again, then see what happens.
