New to Sugar Shock! Suggestions please?

_{Started by Leila} _{8/25/2011 12:47:36 AM}

Hello all,

I am new to Sugar Shock, and am in desperate need of kicking my sugar habit. I'll give you all a brief background of myself...

I am 22 and a recent college grad. I would call myself as slim/slender, because I exercise regularly and eat a very healthy diet...except for the sweets. Everyday after every meal I MUST have something sweet. I try to substitute it for something else, like a small piece of chocolate instead of that cake I'm eyeing...and I end up eating the chocolate plus the cake. All I want to eat is something sweet. That is the only way I feel satisfied. But sugar makes you crave more sugar...so I think you catch my drift. How did everyone stop eating sugar? I obviously have little willpower or discipline in this regard...suggestions please? Thank you!

I had to have sweets after every meal also, except for breakfast. I have found plain yogurt with splenda and fruit helped me a lot. I have let go of 101/2 pounds by just eating the healthy fruits and using stevia and splenda. I have a food plan that I try to stick to.

I have recently read more about splenda. Sounds like Stevia is a better alternative to sugar.

I agree. Stevia is the way to go. We put it in our herbal tea and oatmeal and my daughter bakes a bit with it (when she is craving sugar badly). You are right, the more you eat sugar, the more you crave it. But the opposite should be true, the less we eat it, the less we will crave it!!
