    Ok so now im thinking I might have some minor withdrawls happening - slight headache yesterday and I feel like I have a bit of a head cold (quite possibly is a head cold as its winter and one has been trying to get me for weeks lol)  I feel a little sick in the stomach and a bit strange but Im thinking that is possibly due to the fact im suddenly having all this fat my body hasn't had in YEARS.  Im a little light headed and tired but im pretty sure this will all pass and I just have to relax and ride it out. I guess these are all good things if its detoxing out the fructose bad nasty sugars lol

    Sounds about right.  Just ride it out, it will be over soon enough.  When you suddenly realise that you feel full and don't want to eat any more, that's when it all starts to fall in to place ( or it did for me )

    and what was the average time of everybody to start feeling full and not starving and withdrawing from the sugar out of curiosity?

    David said 2-4 weeks, from memory.  It took me 3 days.  I am very lucky, everyone is different.

    so after three days you were immediately full with smaller amounts of food and didn't crave sugar and thought everything was really sweet?  Seriously?  lol you are lucky.

    I don't really find im craving sugar when you don't have it, its alot easier to go without, I made the chocolate ice cream last night and it was devine, I tasted the dextrose but it didn't fizz and taste like flour, I thought it was midly sweet but we both enjoyed our treat of ice cream.

    I am however still a little confused and worried about all this fat - I have never in my life just (apart from binges at mcdonalds and chocolate and other bad things I used to do about 6 months ago) use full fat milk, cream, butter and lard etc it still worries me with being bad for your heart and body?  Is this seriously ok or just what David is saying?

    ahhh yes the fat thing! It took me ages to get over the fact that fat is good.  We've been brain washed our entire lives so it's kinda hard thing to not think about!

    No, it took me 3 days to stop feeling hungry.  I still crave chocolate from time to time.  Yes, I have eaten more fat than at any time before, and effortlessly lost 16 kg.  David quotes from a good number of studies that all show the same thing.  Remove sugar, and your appetite control will work to control how much fat you eat, but you need some fat to survive.  Sugar is the core problem, with it in your diet, odds are good you'll eat too much fat, as well as sugar, because your body won't tell you to stop.

    Remember, heart disease and diabetes numbers keep rising, as fat consumption falls.

    Its bizzare and yes we have been brainfed FAT is bad our entire lives, I guess with time I will come to terms with it, it just frightens me because I think of the clogged arteries and heart disease and cholesterol etc.

    You still crave chocolate from time to time?  How long have you been doing this no sugar thing, I thought that was supposed to go all together or is it too good to be true?

    Crave is probably too strong a word, I sometimes find myself recognising that I am not hungry, but that I'd still like a sweet snack.  And like I said, the only reason I get that ( I didn't at first ) is that I am bowing to pressure and eating a chocolate once a week.  I didn't get it while I was stricter, but I got so much family grief that I folded.
