The minuscule amount in the ingredients list of the non-flavored non-dairy creamer I occasionally use in my beloved coffee doesn't/hasn't had an effect on me. It constantly amazes me how many products you wouldn't expect to have it, does have it--some prominently!!! It's a nutrition label reading exercise every time I shop! <br />I use Pyure Brands Organic Stevia and it doesn't bother me at all--of course splenda and other artificial sweeteners do!<br />Thank you Nikki--I'll keep it up!

Even my "healthy" protein powder for smoothies was full of sugar, fructose and other odd stuff; I was eventually able to find a decent one.<br /><br />Sorry to hear people were trying to tempt you into eating stuff you didn't want. If these folks didn't know you well or your situation, that is forgivable.

Also wanted to say that when someone pushes sugar now, I just say "I can't eat sugar, I am allergic to it. One bite, and I break out in fat." :) Corny, but they usually move on and accept my decision not to eat it. Grateful you've had such a wonderful week, Sean.

T...I could not agree more on your stance on sugar.<br /><br />The not easy part is 95% mentally, not knowing how much sugar has affected you until you actually go cold turkey. The actual process of avoiding sugar once you have it out of your system becomes a very easy choice because your you no longer crave it.<br /><br />In my case, I had no idea, artificial sugar and sugar had such a profound effect on my hunger issues until I actually went cold turkey myself. It's the most awesome feeling in the world to enjoy the scents of baked goods or watch other people have there deserts, yet have no desire yourself to indulge. Liking my eating habits 10x more than my previous ones, it would be far more difficult for me to go back to eating added sugar again than it was when I initially went cold turkey to avoid the sugar. It's that sense of freedom, freedom from food addiction, no longer being controlled by food through cravings, food eating binges, hunger issues or emotional eating.<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10676239484303269224noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3126474537687051974.post-7195306171635721832014-08-09T09:06:12.044-05:002014-08-09T09:06:12.044-05:00Jae,
