re: Sugar is like crack. How to stop eating it

I am in my second month of Whole30. Its my preference of cutting sugar out of my diet and life. I did Whole30 2 yrs ago. I’m a sugarholic. Can eat bags of sugar candy with citric acid and fructose. Craved it not everyday, but very often. Couldn’t walk through a store without buying couple of bags n eat immediately exiting store. Yes, it’s hard starting out on this diet, but you finally feel free and in control of your body n health. My husband joined me during this first Whole30 period. He got off of his b/p med and was able to cut the other pill in half. (He did no salt, also). Cardiologist couldn’t believe everything was diet related. I Lost 10 lbs but more in inches. Yes, after a while we did have a glass of wine off n on. But after reading all of your comments, I just had to post my thoughts and experiences with Whole30. Yes, it has lots of categories of no no’s. But I traded some of them for watermelon, pineapple, apples, grapes, dates, raisins, and almonds and cashews, steak, fish, chicken, and lots of roasted vegetables, and almond butter, coconut aminos, and omelets for breakfast loaded with veggies. I’m getting into nut pods for my coffee creamer instead of ghee. I’m anticipating my upcoming physical with good results. Started walking 2+miles. I’ve had non-scale victories and those are the best!!
