New ... Sugars
I have a big issue with craving sugar. Going cold turkey doesn't work. Any suggestions?

Try replacing some of the sugar in your diet with healthy fats, such as olive or coconut oil, nuts and nut butters... Olive and coconut oils help you eat less at meal time and stay satisfied longer after a meal, plus they help cut cravings. I saute' my veggies in, either, olive or coconut oil or drizzle one or the other over steamed veggies to add flavor; fry eggs in coconut oil or butter. To cut the coconut flavor from coconut oil, simply add a pinch of salt.
Eat breakfast before you go to work - have scrambled eggs cooked in either butter or coconut oil to keep you satisfied until lunch; or mix 1 tbsp coconut oil with your morning oatmeal then add cinnamon to taste for sweetness. You can also drizzle your lunch salad with olive oil to keep you satisfied through the afternoon. If you snack you can have peanut butter with an apple... the peanut butter has both fat and protein and the apple is chock full of fiber.
Keep in mind that I'm not advocating huge amounts of fat... just a tablespoon or so at each meal.

Looked them up. Expensive and a lot of sugar per serving. We have a freezer full of fruits and nuts we use to make our own smoothies. But that's hard to take to work.
Check out Lifestyle Applesauce snack packs, they have about 6 different flavours that are incredibly sweet and are 60 calories per snack cup. I got hem for half price and just ordered 18 cases of them on sale.
I started out at 222 lbs less than a month ago, and now weight 194.5.
Yes, 27.5 llbs lost in less than a month. I cut our fat and sugar. No meat, oils etc. I eat spinach mushrooms beans tomatoes onions and about 6 of the applesauce snacks per day. I follow the Nutritarian diet and am reading The End of Diabetes, and Fasting and Eating for Health. I also use a blood glucose monitor, and test my blood pretty regularly . It helps with weight loss. I'm here if you ever want to talk. NH
