He Everyone,

week? Can someone please tell me where can I buy Dextrose. Many Thanks Maria
Hello Maria and welcome
Don't think about dextrose until your body has settled down to having no sugar. Dextrose, although not harmful to the body at all in the same way as fructose, has as many calories and, as David says in his books, while the body is still suffering from the fructose addiction, can have the same effect as fructose by raising the insulin levels in the body.
It's best to simply go savory at first, maybe for a month or two, before having anything with dextrose in it and then it's only for the odd treat, maybe once a week or so and only in small amounts.
As for losing weight, as Sally says, we all lose weight in different amounts. I lost after two weeks, one kilo and then lost a further nine over about three months. I also cut my carbs down as I have that gene which causes me to gain weight if I have too many of them, whereas my husband lost weight by simply cutting out fructose.................and he didn't want or need to lose weight, he simply wished to lower his cholesterol and sugar, both of which have dropped to normal after five months.
So, good luck with your journey, you will have plenty of support on both this forum and the sweet poison free forum.
cheers
Freda
