A Month Without Sugar
&gt; There were certainly times when I didn’t enjoy the experience. I missed ice cream, chocolate squares, Chinese restaurants and cocktails. But I also knew that I’d get to enjoy them all again.<p>&gt; The unpleasant parts of a month without sugar are temporary, and they’re tolerable. Some of the benefits continue long after the month is over. If you try it and your experience is anything like mine, I predict that your new normal will feel healthier and no less enjoyable than the old.<p>This is the extent of the results.  NONE of the benefits, expected or experienced are discussed!<p>The rest is just telling you what to avoid and what to eat.  The sugar naturally occurring in fruit, vegetables and dairy are allowed.  Author also claims that you can&#x27;t eat things that have 0g sugar listed because that just means less than 0.5g.  You have to read every ingredient for -ose, honey, sugar, agave, etc.  That seems a bit ridiculous if you are allowing fructose from an apple (~19g).<p>Reduce sugar in favor of grain and calorie balance among fat, carb, protein with reduced total intake is generally good.  Diets like these are replacing one extreme with another.
