How I went off sugar.

[darxus]

1. Decide that it's killing me, or at least significantly negatively impacting my health long term much more than it makes me happy short term, and I'm seriously addicted.
2. When hungry but not interested in eating good food which contains no sugar, realize that I'm not actually hungry, but craving what I'm addicted to, and wait until interested in eating healthy food. (That was basically my first day off.)

good start.

sometimes it's useful to listen to your body cravings. it's hitting you over the head with a clue by four and USUALLY knows what it wants. interpretive dance might help. sugar is probably something it wants but doesn't need.

ever notice there's an RDA for all kinds of nutrients? but sugar isn't one of them, afaik.

btw, have you read the Polan books? for instance "in defense of food"?

I dunno, it was called to my attention recently that sugar has its uses.
