Sugar free - still after two months

Our household has been sugar free for the last two months.

We experienced none of the issues that are written about in Sweet Poison, no withdrawal, or other unpleasant symptoms. We're grateful for this.

We have both lost weight, we are still losing weight, this is good, this was the objective. I suppose its the loss of sugar, but as we aren't eating cakes, biscuits, dried fruits, it could be this instead, how could I tell really?

I am enjoying eating butter and other so called 'bad' fats, as I do enjoy a bit of bread with my butter, lol!

We've returned to wheat, but only organic or old grains like spelt.

We will continue without sugar for the foreseeable future,hopefully continuing to lose weight.

Eliminating sugar ~ week 1

So my first week of removing sugar from my diet is going well, one week down of my three month trial *grin*. 

I've had no side effects or cravings as yet and I am sure the lack of cakes, biscuits, chocolate, bread and jam, ice cream etc. is good for me. 

No weight loss as yet however, but it is very early days.

Sadly my copy of Sweet Poison by David Gillispie hasn't arrived as yet but I have found another good book and website on removing sugar from your diet, by another Australian as well, Sarah Wilson of I Quit Sugar. As its an eBook, I was able to download it immediately and its a great read and its giving me great tips to help withdraw from sugar in my eating habits.

One of the pleasant surprises is that wine and strong spirits, in moderation of course, can remain in my diet as the sugar from the fruit is used up during the fermentation process.

Now that's a bonus, hic!
