journeynow Posted October 16, 2013 Author Share Posted October 16, 2013 So far so good, but at the moment I'm craving sugar. I suppose an apple will do. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redrose85 Posted October 16, 2013 Share Posted October 16, 2013 Prunes. they will get your sugar craving taken care of. Tons of potassium and fibre too. They sound gross, but they're so delish. I had a small slice of pumpkin pie/ pear gingerbread cake on Thanksgiving. It was amazing but a little bit was more than enough. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
journeynow Posted October 17, 2013 Author Share Posted October 17, 2013 Prunes are great. Dried fruit in general is pretty sweet, and I do have raisins and figs, although I have to be careful I don't over do them. Day 16, and doing ok, not tempted to buy any chocolate or treats when I food shopped today. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redrose85 Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 My husband has a box of halloween treat-sized chocolate bars. I was just about to leap at the box... grabbed a couple of prunes instead 16 days is admirable! Way to go! I think it was been 2 weeks for me... except for the pumpkin pie/cake on thanksgiving and the tiny sliver I had last night. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simplexity Posted October 17, 2013 Share Posted October 17, 2013 grapefruit does the trick on me .. it has been about 11 days for me , and im feeling better .. i try to substitute the craving for sugar by fruit shake using either a banana or apple , which consist of some natural sugar but not as harmless as the artificial sugar .. i do it by blending them with some other fruits or veggies like kale and spinach hope the rest is having a fantastic time with this healthy diet as much as i do Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
journeynow Posted November 1, 2013 Author Share Posted November 1, 2013 DONE! Glad I did it, my desire for sugar or chocolate has lessened. I may continue, or at least limit sugar greatly, for long-term health. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redrose85 Posted November 1, 2013 Share Posted November 1, 2013 Halloween candy tasted SO good this year. Going back to sugarless now... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
