It’s been nearly two months now since I stopped eating sugar. I’ll save the ‘why’ for another post but here are a few things I’ve noticed since going sugar free:
- I sleep better
- Sugar is in a lot more foods than I thought
- My body was addicted to it
- Water actually tastes better than Coke or Mt. Dew
- Going from 3-4 Cokes a day to zero wasn’t fun on Day 2
- My sweet cravings are gone
- Most teriyaki sauce is loaded with sugar (crap!)
- I’m more active which leads to more exercise
- I still miss Peanut M&Ms!
- I’ve dropped nearly 35 lbs since giving up sugar
- And the best thing about giving up sugar: I have more energy to keep up and spend time with my wife and three kids.
