Sugar-Free diet

[saiwashburn]

Hey,

I started a no-sugar diet January 1st, (except for natural sugars), and I've lost 29lbs. I use to weigh 234, and now I'm down to 205lbs.

Just thought I would let you all know.....

Thanks for listening.

Awesome job saiwashburn!

Welcome to IM

 

[saiwashburn]

I can eat the natural sugars in fruits, and I can have 100% maple syrup on my pancakes or waffles, and basically anything else that is 100% natural sugar. I eat No-Sugar Added Dryers icecream (excellent!!!!) I also will eat anything with less than 5grms of sugar, such as ketchup, and things like that.

That sounds good.. i wish i could do that but i dont have the will power are you thinking of/or already weight lifting or doing aerobic exercises? or did you lose the 29lbs just by changing your eating habits?

 

[saiwashburn]

I haven't done any exercise.....none. I was hoping to get down to 200lbs before I actually started working out again.
It's a diet I definitely recommend. It's easier than people think.
I faked it until I made it (alcohol anonymous' theme) for the first two weeks....i.e. pretend you don't like eating sweets until you actually believe it.

 

[TriZZle305]

wow thats pretty good! you lost 29lbs withought doing much at all.. imagine when you start weight lifting or whatever. what are you going for just weight loss or are you going to try to gain muscle, strength, or tone?

 

[saiwashburn]

I want to lose another 10lbs, and then I'm going to start working out because I don't want to get too bulky. I"m more into looking very tone........more Brad Pitish and less Hulk Hoganish. You know what I mean?

 

[Cenox]

Sure thang. I would love to look like Brad Pitt too....

Great job! I am TRYING to cut my sugar intake to about 20-25 grams a day. I am finding it very difficult. I will have to fake it for the next few weeks. Thanks for the tip.

What do you eat if you are craving something sweet? Keep up the good work.
