After a period of high sugar use I go through sugar withdrawals now. I quit cold turkey.
Im depressed and anxious and nauseous. Though this may be the circumstances.
Im thinking of adding back a bit of honey to ease into this. Just for the first weeks.
Experiences? Advices? How long did it take for you?
I’ve quit sugar cold turkey a few times probably. It was miserable, not gonna lie.
I did manage to cut wwaaaaay down on sodas though, I rarely ever drink, although I do still drink powerades and juices.
I think it works in the same sort of way losing weight does. Don’t wanna cut it all out too fast, more of a bad thing to do that.
Thanks. How long did “miserable” last? Before getting better?
It was born out of necessity, can’t really afford to slowly withdraw. Kid and I had a trip to Antwerp. We had dinner in a Michelin guide restaurant. Trialed fancy chocolate. And kid sought out his first real parfume in a specialized niche shop.
Since that does not exactly…fit our normal standard of living…these last two weeks of the month I’m eating rice (kid does have bread and veggies & fruit, no worries).
Not sure this was the best planning ever. But we’re tackling my sugar and grain addiction ánd Lent in the process. 
I was kind of hoping to not spiral into depression though.
I can remember spending about 1 week eating absoloutely no sugar and in the end I couldn’t do it. So yeah I don’t know how long they last, but I know it was unfun enough to make me stop trying 
Good luck
Haha hm…I can see why at the moment. 
I did it before though, and can’t remember it being this bad. I decided kid wouldnt miss one apple. And added a bit of fruit to my diet. And I have some honey here. Might help.
Oh well…no right to complain…it was my own calculated choice to do a very few real fancy things in Antwerp…and be punished for it after. It’s just kind of interesting what my body does with this change of diet.
@anon21280033 Yeah getting sugar from fruit can be a really good idea, it’s not nearly as harmful as straight fructose corn syrup, like the crap in sodas. Plus all the carbonation, they straight make those to kill people lol
Yeah…sodas are killers. Have to run…seeing new pdoc today… old is ill…
