It’s now 8 days without sugar. When I say Sugar, I mean everything which masquerade as sugar from honey to gur. Once u realise how harmful sugar is u really would not like to go back to it Do u know our intake of sugar has gone up by 400% from 1970.

And it’s now not in just the obvious places like candies or sweets. It’s in salad dressings, sauces, healthy sports drinks, low fat healthy yoghurt & what not. It has sneaked into almost every packaged food. Real sugar is toxin. It’s probability as chronically harmful as tobacco.

I believe once you eliminate sugar from your diet, you craving for sugar will actually vanish. I used to take my tea and coffee with sugar and last few years stopped it and now can’t even have one sip with sugar in them. It tastes yuck and leaves a bad taste in the mouth

If u must drink a sweet beverage or food, you are better off using a substitute for sugar than sugar. Xylitol for eg looks and tastes like sugar but has fewer calories and doesn’t raise blood sugar. Or aspartame( Equal) or sucralose( Splenda).

There was a time when I needed sweet with every meal. That’s no longer true. I think it’s not hard to eliminate pathological need of sugar for sweet things. You are best off if u can avoid everything sweet. But if not use substitute than sugar. And Jaggery is sugar.
