In 100g of pina colada there is 22g of sugar. One teaspoon has around 4g of sugar. When you drink one pina colada you probably are taking in 4-6 teaspoons of sugar. That is a lot if we think of that in this way haha
That's why I am a sweet person

I was also thinking the same. Sugar is not good for sure but fruits are natural substances.

I thought I was addicted to sugar and it ended up being a severe magnesium deficiency. I started taking more magnesium and my sugar cravings gradually disappeared. I'm not a doctor, so maybe talk to one before you start supplementing with magnesium. You should also look into the Ancient Minerals magnesium spray. That's what I use...Yes, it's the snow. But not the one you would think of first.
From tomorrow, there is no sugar in my life.
And by none, it means no food or drinks that contain any kind of sugar, even fructose(fruits, some vegetables).
I did this once in past so I kinda know what withdraws I will have in two days. My hands will shake and I will want to kill somebody.
Sounds crazy eh? But that's how much we are addicted to this stuff. If you think you are not, try to go for 4 days w/o any sugar/sweets/fruits.
Now enjoying my last coffee with real sugar as artificial sweeteners make it taste like shit.
If you are thinking of improving your health, I suggest trying this, it's a bit annoying as you constantly need to read food labels to avoid something that has sugar in it but end result is superb.
My goal is to go into ketosis to lose some winter protection layer I've gained last year.

Life is not worth without a sweetener for me.
Personally i find everything tastes disgusting without a sweetener, other than water. Water is delish.
And i know someone is gonna say "well your tastbuds are gonna adapt maaan"
No, they wont adapt, you cunt. In fact, i dont want them to adapt. Coffee, cocoa, tea, its all kinda gross to disgusting without a sweetener. And say my tastebuds do adapt. Say they do. The taste is still gonna be fucking awful, and life wont be worth living.
That said, i only use honey and xylitol as a sweetener. And i make my own apple juice, so it has no added anything.
Life is good, and sweet.

Good for you brother.
I am 60 days clean and am starting to feel so much better.
I still crave it but the withdrawals are not as bad as the first 30 days.
For me, I only had the cravings at night time after I settle in.
I needed the dopamine/opioid hit as a reward each night.
But what I noticed was that it was tied to my anxiety.
When I work, I do so at such a frenzy that I needed the sugar to relax and calm down from the day in the same way people smoke or drink alcohol to relax.
So what I did was slow down my pace of work and focus on my breath so that I am not wound up at the end of the day craving a "substance" to relax me.

Good for you! For me, I think the worst at the moment is coffee. If I ever lower my intake of caffeine, I can probably do achieve anything else.

Like, probably if you turned it into a drink.
Unless if i add a sweetener, maybe also some milk. Then maybe we can get something good

I defenetely believe is hard because I already went through this situation several times and is hard, is not easy, I was recommended to do it gradually because by some reason even if you are eathing healthy and correct amounts when you drop the sugar your body weaken, you feel alzy the first days and you don't have the power or energy to you get tired really quickly once you pass the first week with no sugar you start getting back to normal, this is no joke is a real addiction to sugar and now sugar does more damage to yourbody because all thos chemicals and nonse they add it to make you dependant of it.

I've read that if you are above 4-6 cups a day you might develop further heart problems in the future (ofc this number varies from person to person). I am simply trying to quit because i hate being physically addicted to anything. I dont think there is anything wrong with drinking coffee as long as you are not going nuts with it.
