I made the attempt to sugar detox at work (just drink water) and WOW am I tired.
You can use Splenda as it doesn't affect the blood sugar. Drs have told me that you can even use it on the morning of your blood work.I like it! I've also been slowly weening myself off added sugar. The hardest, for me, was going from coffee that was white and sweet to black and bitter. It took about 3 weeks of doubt, but now I cannot imagine adding sugar to my coffee or tea.
I haven't read the whole thread yet, but I too am trying to do a no refined sugar fasting. Im curious on if those zero sugar sodas are really better than normal sodas, or they substitute sugar with another sweetener?
Splenda is controversial. Appears to have some downsides, healthwise. IMHO, it's just better to cut out all sweeteners.You can use Splenda as it doesn't affect the blood sugar. Drs have told me that you can even use it on the morning of your blood work.
Still doing the same, but I go to the gym 2-3 times a week. 61 pounds down.I'm not cutting out refined sugars, but just doing a lot better with them and calorie intake. Really simple honestly. No exercise, just walk the dog 2x a week. No sugar sodas so far this year. Lost 25 pounds so far since New Years.
