[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’m going on day three of no added sugar, and I am STARVING.  Is being hungry a normal side effect of cutting out sugar?[/quote]

The first time I tried this (last year) I lost 4 pounds in a month. I’m 5’ 3” and weigh 118 so weight loss is not a goal of mine. Actually it’s the reason I stopped eating less sugar. I was down to 114 and could not keep losing weight. I think we have to find whole, nourishing food to replace the empty sugar calories. I am trying to have seconds of dinner and larger servings in general this time. It’s a struggle because our diets are so reliant on processed foods. I am also not trying to go to no added sugar, just stay under 25 g. Yesterday, that included a homemade muffin that topped me off for the day.

If you are only super healthy food (nuts, veggies, whole grains, fruit, etc.) you have a hard time eating enough. So it has to be in the middle. I’m hoping this time is better.

Yesterday:
Apple with peanut butter
Almonds
Milk
Yogurt with raspberries

Leftover chicken and rice with broccoli
Popcorn
Sunflower seeds
More almonds
Orange

Sliced cheese
White bean chicken chili (2 servings)
Muffin
Milk

I did not go to bed hungry. Sugar intake around 20 g. [/quote]

All your food choices look good to me[/quote]
