I'm dropping my addiction.

Day 6, still no sugar.

Started slowly dropping carbs to a minimum as well.




whoaaaa, 130kg, absolute unit. :D but yeah, the boomerang effect is something that needs to be taken into account when going this path.



No, they are all high in carbs and I will stick for a no-carb diet called keto.



3L coke, even if light, is just too much, your decision is smart. I dont think I'm addiccted to caffeine tho, always when I have enough sleep and not abused it, I have no problems going w/o it the next day. I've fixed this by not taking caffeine after 12 PM because after 8-12 hours only 50% of the caffeine has left your system. If I abuse it and drink it too late, I have bad sleep and the next day I crave coffee again to be able to function.

I'm cutting sugar and 90% of carbs, minimal cardio, I hate cardio, better prefer strength training.



Good thinking, switched to black only today, thank you!


You should try to find enjoyment in different activities, I have the same problem as you and it probably comes from some sort of level of depression/burnout. I can only advise finding professional help in this matter, no need for anything fancy, few therapy sessions could help you to understand what is going on. Food is just a fuel, we shouldn't find comfort in it.



Can you quote me on "fruits are bad for health"? ;)


The last time I tried low-carb stuff was about 3 years ago, I did find a recipe for low-carb pizza, it was tricky to make but oooooh boi the end result was superb haha :)


Both are incredibly bad for health, try to decrease at least the coke.


Have no idea but I think both are not very good for you in terms of health benefits. of course if the coffee is the only place you use it, it's not that bad. But if you take sodas on top of that, other sweets, etc etc, it adds up quite fast.



Join in! start tomorrow and let's keep each other accountable!


Why wouldn't you join in too? let's start tomorrow and let's keep each other accountable haha :)


Good thinking! You gave me a great idea, will pick up sports drinks which are high on electrolytes, thank you!!


As I suggested above, join the battle ;)




Join me and post your daily progress here. It sounds like you should try to limit your ability to order things, delete those apps and try to make healthy food available to you for a couple of days, e.g. make a larger amount of meals premade, it will help you to get off the trash food and when its done you can move further and cancel sugars/sweets and so on. How much stress you currently have in your daily life?



Forum will not allow you to edit your posts in about 30 minutes or so ;)


I'm going into keto, which means no sugar at all, including one that is in fruits.


I do use B6 and other groups, probably that is why I do not have super hard cravings this time quitting sugar.


You can keep using sweeteners but do it in a way that is good for you, e.g. check stevia it's sweeter than sugar, even looks the same but it's way healthier than sugar itself.


Amazing! Sounds like you are highly aware and self-cautious.


That's great start and can highly impact your life quality!


The steaks are great!


4-6 cups is really a lot, I would worry more about sleep problems because of this, with that amount of caffeine my night sleep is very distracted and low quality.
Making BHW a healthier place... I messed up, have a tub of jellies in front of me all morning!

Gonna get a proper start at it tomorrow - can feel my teeth eroding :(

Stevia leaves an aftertaste in your throat, and I don't like that.

I think Xylitol is probably the best sugar alternative. But honey works for me too. So I use both :)
 
I did this for 1 month to see if i can do it, and to my surprise it wasn't even that hard even though I consumed a lot of sugar every day.

How i did it? Sugar-free coffee, sugar-free juice (100% orange), fruits (oranges).

I even lost appetite and was not eating bread at all.

I lost 10-15 kg in 1 month just to get back to sugar and bread and gain even more weight.

Sure, keep it to yourself...

You won't get into keto with more than 30 gr of carbs a day, and I'd highly advise you to stay away from keto for as long as possible. There aren't many things that you can do to your body that are worse than ketoacidosis.
 
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.

It's more addictive than heroin.

Thank you for your kind words and encouragement! To be honest with you, my stress greatly varies day by day, some days i'm cool as ice, some days I feel too much stress that fast food trash seems like an easy out/escapism for me to feel better. I've also used it in the past as a stress reliever when times get rough or when i'm just bored.
 
you can use Stevia. No diabetes or other risks with sugar.
 
There is one proverb, "Too much of anything is good for nothing". By this the addiction of anything will suffer you more. So try to get into the habit as in a minimal level of all prospects.
 
Good luck. I did no sugar/sweets for years, now I sadly have to eat honey due to covid (don't laugh, it actually helps for my lungs) and my teeth hates me for it. Sugar sucks, ugh.
 
Wanted to check in. ;)

2 months, no sugars. No sodas, no sweets, nothing.

You can do it too!
Bro, you are so dedicated and disciplined. I am not able to quit cigarettes for a single day. My best day was 1 cigarette in a day after that I started again. Damn it. The challenge is so hard for me.
Any suggestion will be highly appreciable.

not at all, exactly the opposite.

Ask yourself, why you smoke. Next time you smoke, try to look at the process, do you really enjoy the taste, the smell, the costs of it? Logically thinking it's useless, worthless and unhealthy habbit. Which you can get rid of if you will decide of it. But the decision must be yours.

I have to try the cold turkey method. Thanks bro
