    Question Has anyone cut back on sugar?

    I quit eating as much sugar as part of my new lifestyle diet. I had a brownie the other day and I actually started to feel sick! I've noticed the same with anything with sugar in it. Candy, too. Has anyone else experienced this? I can't believe I used eat it so much all day long!

    I actually eat very little sugar other than when it is added secretly to foods. I do occasionally have a dessert or some type of sweet. I used to use sugar a lot even in cooking, but when my dh lived here he was a diabetic so I learned to curb my sugar useage.

    I am a recovering chocoholic, so sometimes this is a toughie for me!

    I do the "lo-carb" thing and am a member of a LC board. This is a common comment.

    I go months with no sugar what so ever. Yesterday and the day before I went haywire with sweets. I felt awful and had a ripper of a headache.
    I also LC and belong to a lc board.

    I will often get headaches when I eat a chocolate bar or anything really sweet. I don't eat a lot of sugar at all

    I'm trying to cut down on sugar--but I'm having trouble! When I stopped drinking diet soda, I was getting major headaches the first couple of days.

    I had to cut back on sugar due to health reasons and I find that I can only have it in low doses or it throws my systemic yeast into overdrive.

    I have tried to cut back too. I haven't had a candy bar in over since Christmas!! I can't believe it! I actually have a jar full of kisses and minature hesheys on my desk at school that a student gave me that is still full. I haven't touched even one!! I keep thinking I better give them away or bring them home for the boys to eat before I do.
