Popular Post Pravda Posted October 20, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted October 20, 2021 (edited) No cheese, no more meat for dinner and I feel great. I really have a sugar addiction and it's hard to quit once inside a shopping mall with all those cakes. I'm scared I will relapse due to lack of self control. I'm starting to think that 8 years ago I started my life in Thailand completely wrong. The buffets, the pizzas, the awful japanese food suki and grills, the hotel lounges with unlimited pastries and cheese .... I now see that the less I spend on food the better I feel. It's quite amazing. I can breathe at night which I couldn't due to reflux. Every morning I'd wake up with bad breath. it's fine now. Only after 4 days. Yep ...it's all sugar.

Popular Post Peterw42 Posted October 20, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted October 20, 2021 Yes, the no sugar certainly makes a difference, and you dont realise how addicted you are until you stop. I wouldn't give up the protein (meat, cheese) as well. That's the whole idea of low carb, keto diets. Eat mostly fat and proteins, little to no carbs. 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post scubascuba3 Posted October 20, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted October 20, 2021 Sugar isn't the enemy it's the junk you eat, the stuff you buy is full of fat, chocolate, cake, pastries, ice cream, crisps, biscuits, nuts. It's important you understand the difference 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post KhunLA Posted October 20, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted October 20, 2021 (edited) Moderation is the key. I eat what ever I want, when I want, although do know to put limits on some things. Actually, do most of my own cooking, usually from scratch (baking) so control intake amounts of sugar & salt mainly. So enjoy a few less healthy pleasures, but in moderation. Not anti anything, but know not to overdo any one food group, except veggies, as don't think you can eat too much of them. Once you do that, and then buy restaurant / store bought prepared foods, you notice immediately the extra content of sugar & salt they use. Sometimes, way OTT. After a short learning curve, you become a much better cook than the so called 'chefs'. Edited October 20, 2021 by KhunLA 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sugar is the most addictive substance on earth terrible it kills many more people then Covid should be banned permanently worldwide. And how crazy is that? Why in the world should you ban sugar? it´s a perfect addition to many things regarding cooking and baking. It´s the easiest thing in the worls to not take more than 1 piece of sugar in the coffee or none at all. People should drink coffee because they like it, not because they love sugar. That´s just one example out of many. After that you have all the coke, fanta and sprite that must be drunk all the time or given to children at low age. Why, have people forgot how good and lovely it is with a glas of cold water? You are talking about banning the products, just because people can´t control their sugar intake. Really??? I think it´s time to grow some balls, say no to to much a show some self-control. What´s next? Are you going to ban food totally just because some people get fat? Maybe forbid the use of water because people are drowning every year? Just tell me your great concept for the people and the planet. 2 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not blaming one single ingredient. For example sugar binds fat. Edited October 20, 2021 by Gottfrid 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eventually those of us who grow weary of the burgeoning buttocks and trouble finding stores that sell clothing in our size cut back. I developed diabetes about 5 years ago and had to do a serious inventory of my lifestyle. Diet, exercise, and an occasional small sweet has led me to a life in better balance. And I haven't bought a sack of sugar since. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I found Lazada sells pure powdered Stevia. It's a pungent sweetener, very little goes a long way, and it's a natural, healthy product. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
