June No Sugar Added Challenge

[Shorty]

I don't use artificial sweeteners.

[Del Murder]

I add sugar to my artificial sweeteners.

[Shorty]

And to your cereal, right?

[LocoColt04]

Only to his Frosted Flakes.

[Pumpkin]

I add sugar to frosted flakes >.>

Really anything that isn't froot loops level of sugar you can bet your butt I'm adding several spoon fulls of sugar. This is why I stay away from cereal

[Shorty]

What the hell shion

The only thing I add to cereal if and when I eat it is cut up bananas. Bananas in cereal is amazing.

[Miss Mae]

I wish I had the willpower. I say as I eat chocolate.

[Pumpkin]

Well that's really the smarter option, Shorty

[Calliope]

I will think about this for the next day or so! However, I already don't eat meat, dairy or gluten, so I do enjoy my sugar-coated twigs and leaves! I do need to sharpen my wits before going back to school though, which means eschewing either sugar or alcohol is probably a good idea. Good luck, Shorty!

[Shorty]

Thanks! I am also eschewing alcohol, but that isn't particularly a chore for me as of late.

If you want to join in late, go right ahead! Nothing wrong with sweets and stuff generally, especially if you've made other sacrifices or choices in your diet. tThis thread is just my way of saying, "Hi, I'm Sarah and I'm a sugarholic", really xD

[Kalevala]

What? What the hell am I supposed to eat?

I want to do this but just read a recommended shopping list and started weeping.

[Formalhaut]

Day One - So I've just woken up and having breakfast - no sugary meals to date yet!

Question: what's everyone take on squash? I checked the label and it doesn't look terribly sugary, but I don't want to drink any until I get everyone's approval. Besides soft drinks, I love squash!

[Calliope]

I would suggest that you don't wait for everyone's approval before going ahead, especially in a thread where people seem to be bickering needlessly or being facetious instead of supportive. Everyone has different preferences, intake levels and goals, and everyone's body responds a bit differently to sweet treats. If it will make you feel better or like it's less drastic if you give up chocolate, cakes, cookies and soda but still indulge in a bit of squash every other day, then go ahead! If your goal is to forgo all added sugars for four weeks, then nix it. You're already having breakfast, which is arguably better than a lot of people!

[Del Murder]

drink....squash? What the hell?

[Shorty]

Squash is something else outside of America.
