Hi there - I am on day 2 of my new 'sugar free' life and to be honest very nervous about the weekend coming up as I generally just eat sugar all weekend; then of course feel totally sick by the time Sunday night comes round!  I really need to do this.

I have been drinking skim milk cappuccino's for 25yrs and find myself having to stop and think before asking for a 'regular' cap now - I confess it worries me a little, having full cream milk. Has anyone else had to make that change and if so, hopefully you didn't put weight on?

Any comments appreciated. Thanks.

Thank you Janelle, I'm sure I will get used to it.  I do eat plenty of protein but have always been 'nervous' of the carbs.  I think this whole new way of eating is going to be a huge challenge for me when I'm socialising and on w/ends!  However, day 4 and I'm feeling ok. Thanks again for your comment.

It works alright. I think I'm in the post-withdrawl stage and what happens is that my body says, short of fresh, eat carrot & lettuce now, or short of fat, eat cheese now, or short of protein eat meat now. Then I eat some until I hit the enough's enough stage. The message used to be body very short of honey on raisin toast and big milo drink. And enough was never enough. Now I eat anything without sugar (and bread too). Easy. Yesterday someone gave me this great whopping block of sugar free dark chocolate. I checked and the number one ingredient was Maltitol which is on the List of Evil so no chocolate but I reckon cheese, cream etc is fine. Good luck.

HI to all SWEET POISON FAMILY members,Ive been sugar free  for about 20 months now and believe me FRUCTOSE is poison.David came to my attention on the radio and I thought MMM RRRR interesting,so I went and brought both books and I cant stand reading.From that day on I have been sugar free.I was 15 kilos over weight border line diebetic ,the doctor sent me off to a dietition to make me eat heathier but I was just realy going through the system.All doctors have to do is give out coppies of the books to everyone.I have never been heathier in my hole life.It frustrates me at no end that people just dont get it.I have not posted for a long time thinking that I am on my way to a new way of eating and life is good,but that was a bit selfish not sharing my journey with you all.I have changed my eating habits from the day I was born,not easy at first but now it is a way of life.Dont eat anything out of a box except weet bix and cruskets.I drink full cream milk,eat cheee,Greek style yogurt with cut up fruit in it ,and there is no way anyone would have got me to eat plain yogurt 20 months ago.Look it realy is amazing, I have stayed at 75 kilos now for the last 16 months without any dramas.Just change your eating habbits, our bodies are not equip to process  FRUCTOSE.I have a twin brother and family and friends all use to call me the fat one,Ha HA the shoe is on the other foot now.If you realy believe in somthing just put your heart and soul in to it and LIFE will turn for the better,dont let anyone dicourage for what you do because you will be a better person  forever,and that applies to every aspect of your life.Better go i might be getting a bit to deep,good luck everyone and I will talk later.
