[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Throwing out that I’ve Had a lot more luck removing all sugar than doing 25grams. I still get cravings if I’m eating some. Can I ask why 25 grams?[/quote]

I like sugar too much to say zero and it won’t work for me long term. But if that works for you, it’s clearly the best thing. Sugar is nutritionally devoid of value. The less than 25g recommendation is from the American Heart Association. It’s about half what the government recommends.

DP and same.  I’m finding I can easily do less than 25g/day and it feels very sustainable to me.  Zero sugar is far too much work.  For example, the bread and peanut butter I like is about 2g/serving.  A flavored seltzer I love is 4g/can.  I can stay under 25g eating those things with little effort; I’ve got enough going on in my life that I want as little brain power as possible spent worrying about my diet.

Yesterday I baked for a Super Bowl party we attended and was definitely over 25g.  I know it was my choice and it’s worth it to me to sometimes have those homemade baked goods.  Thankfully, my kids will make short work of the leftovers. ;)[/quote]
