We're all different in the way our bodies respond to the no sugar way. I feel a lot better and have also severely cut down carbs as my body doesn't like them and they can make me eat too much.
One thing though, don't substitute sugar for honey................it's pure fructose and an absolute no no!
If you crave sweetness, then use rice malt syrup as it's just glucose.
But I find it safer to be savory as even having a desert made with glucose, for me, it sets up carb cravings.
Over Christmas, I will eat a couple of glucose flavoured deserts as that is my contribution to the festivities.

I read this with great interest as I have been frustose free for 5 weeks and only lost a kilo which is a little disheartening. I have noticed changes for the better though that have kept me hanging in there -I don't get the highs and lows that I used to, I don't have sugar cravings these days (but I do still get very hungry), my eyes are less tired feeling and my fingernails are growing strong and healthy for the first time in years!

I saw something on Sarah Wilson's facebook page that was interesting though. Sarah is very much into the sugar free regime also and makes references to David's work, but in one of her videos she says that some people don't lose weight because if the liver is fatty (and I know mine is) then it's all clogged up with toxins and fat and doesn't work the way it should to break the fat down. So I got some liver tonic from my naturopath a couple of days ago and will be interested to see the results. Will also need to work on adjusting the rest of my intake too now that I have the sugar free under control.

I find it really really helpful to read all the stories, questions and answers form others following this prgroamme....it's a great help thank you

Hello Sylvia,

Thanks so much for you tips. I did sign up to Sarah Wilson's emails actually and got my first one yesterday with some yummy looking recipes! I love reading as much as I can too....it really helps to know I am not the only one going through it.

Well done you for the kilos you have shed....that's awesome! And good luck with the rest. That's a huge acheivement so far though because they say it gets harder to get it off as we get older.

I bought David's knew book on Thurs night - started reading it a little that night but I think it will be a big help too.

thanks again

Brenda xx
