most people who eliminate up sugar have a hard time the first week or so and then feel better after that. the problem is that eventually most everyone who gives up sugar will eat it again -- and that is when the problems start. a better strategy might be to cut back on sugar -- and try to find more wholesome forms of sweet foods. instead of fighting against your sweet tooth which may cause the eventual "over-consumption " honor sweet cravings by finding more wholesome options. you can try a few squares of dark chocolate (be mindful and savor it) or bit of honey in your oatmeal that is topped with fruit and nuts. the result will be a diet that is much lower in sugar but higher in satisfaction. for more tips on dealing with sugar cravings see this webmd article. good luck with your health journey!
