June No Sugar Added Challenge

[Shorty]

Who wants to do a No Sugar Challenge with me? I have such a horrid sweet tooth and it's out of control. I'm making strides to go this whole month without any sugary sweets, desserts, drinks and what have you!

A month seems like an realistic timeline for a challenge. I've broken myself from sugar before and after two or three weeks have passed, I quit having cravings for it. Until that time, though, hoo boy it's going to be rough ;-; I have whole carton of mint chocolate chip ice cream in my freezer that I will have to avoid like the plague!

Who's in?

[Colonel Angus]

Is this just "No SUGAR" or "No Sugar i.e. Carbohydrates"?

[Shorty]

No sugar! Feel free to do no carbs if you wish

I'm already giving up junkfood after I eat whatever is left of it in my apartment. I need to lose about 20-30 lbs (500 km for you Brits). So, outside of the Soda I bring to work, I am not having any cookies, cakes, candy, nor chips (crisps, again, for you wankers). Hopefully I can reach my goal by my cousins wedding next spring.

[Shorty]

Good for you, man! Yep, this thread is my attempt to give up junk food, haha.

[Parker]

i would love to have the willpower to do this.


i can cold-turkey cigarettes but giving up sugar is the kind of thing i would need to do in like a really super slow decline of sugar intake over a period of maybe 4 decades. i am trying my darndest to give up some of the junky sweet things I eat and I wish you way more than luck because it would crush me in about 3 days


e: also angus we don't measure weight in kilometers nice try tho

[Shorty]

Yeah dude, I'm talking over some people on Facebook about it and I really and truly have a sugar addiction. I don't intend to give it up for good but in order to reach a point where I'm not craving it every day I need to go cold turkey and have it once in a while as an uncommon treat instead of part of my regular diet.

You know what? I'm game. I think these sort of things are best if you have someone else doing it with you anyway to spur you on and give you motivation - I'd gladly be that guy.

I suppose my only true weakness I can forsee in me doing this is my love of soft drinks. I really love them. I'm going to have to come up with other alternatives - I know there's Diet Coke, but I think I'd want to stretch beyond that.

I'm guessing natural sugars, like the kind you find in fruits and fruit juices count?

EDIT:

Funnily enough, I wrote this while eating some strawberry and vanilla ice cream

[Freya]

Oh. I already lost. Stress makes me eat and drink more sugary things. Maybe next month after things calm down I'll attempt it. Good luck to everyone who tries it though!

[noxious.sunshine]

I'm not a big sweet eater either.

I'd like to go a month with no alcohol but lol. Dream on, Alice.

[Shorty]

Kc, the helm do you mean "I already lost"? xD start tomorrow!

Formy, natural sugars are fine. And I am terrible with soda as well, I can't tell you how much vanilla coke I consume each month.

[Shorty]

My sister will eat it. How does ice cream get gross quickly? xD it's in a freezer!

[Freya]

But I want sugggggarrrry coffeee D:

Something about the texture gets really strange the longer it sits in a freezer.

This is scarily accurate.

Then allot yourself a teaspoon of sugar in the morning for coffee and naught else!
