My 14 yr. old asked me to go without sugar (candy, sodas, chocolate, etc) for 2 days. I failed. I would like to know how long you can go without sugar. Try it first and then give me your answer.

Read your question just a minute ago and had to come back to let you know how quickly I failed, or gave in, actually! I went to get something to drink and I reached for my pitcher of iced tea in the fridge...........which is already sweetened! I guess my mind was set on getting something sweetened! Incredible! Thanks!

I have gone without chocolate for 2 years. I TRY to avoid sweet things. However, I CANNOT and WILL NOT give up my Pepsi! I have to have my 1 can a day or else I am a bit--. So, my friend, I would fail that test before I ever began!!!

Actually I don't really eat sweets anymore- maybe once or twice a year for special occasions but it took me 6 months to break the habit and eat more fruits I even use more honey as a sweetener. If you really want to quit or reduce your sweets try a variety of fruits like grapes, star fruit, kiwi, etc to give your pallet a good variety of sweetness without the refined sugars. Good Luck!

I read your question and failed right as I reading it. I was eating a piece of choclate. However when I have tried before, I lasted a day and the next day came with a vengance. I think I have a addiction to sweets.

No sugar based sodas or products except for special occasions... weddings, birthdays, and so forth. Once you eliminate sugar from your diet, you'll be surprised at how your body reacts when you have it again. Sluggish.

use splenda. it's better than sugar. also you really can't be without sugar. almost every food will contain trace amounts of sugar. milk and fruits have more sugar than say red meat.

I actually don't eat refined sugar (it'll kill you). I eat natural sugars like fruit though.
