I've been sugar free for 3 years already.
I am already practically 100% sugar free.
I love all sugar delights, but trying to loose weight I know it's the sugar that piles on the lbs.
Already am as sugar free as possible. No added sugar products bought as much as we can.
Would love to give it a try
I’m definitely a sugar addict my dad used to put loads of sugar in my tea when I was young and I still a sweet tooth, although I do try to keep off the sugar.
I’m up for the challenge 👍
I've been sugar free for years.....with the exception of chocolate, boiled sweets etc. IF ONLY I could give those up I would do it. However I am going to try my very best, Good luck to those taking part xxx
Right watch out ....17th it is .....I need some will power so if anyone has some going spare, please send it to me virtually......xxxx
I've been sugar free for six years
I'm looking forward to this. It won't be easy but I'll give it a go ......
I am almost there, but still like the odd toffee and piece of homemade cake!
Great response so far
Although I'm not sure how to discount those who've votes despite already being sugar free
🤔 I didn't think they'd vote.
I'll wait for the poll to have been up 24 hours and take the date then
Is this approved by dieticians?
I eat a diet similar to traditional Mediterranean. It is low in added sugar and high in fibre. My BMI is under 22. To go zero sugar I would have to cut out most vegetables and fruit and all carbohydrates that I eat.
We're not talking about removing carbohydrates/whole foods, we're talking about removing refined white sugar, and refined white sugar substitutes (e.g. fructose syrup, sweeteners, maple syrup).
There is no obligation to participate, so if you felt that removing sugar would be damaging to your health, or that you'd have nothing to gain from the challenge, you can continue with your diet as it is.
Hey this is a great idea so I’m in Cooper27 😊
Baking without sugars ? Will be interesting
Hi Rosepetal60 I’ve some gluten free bread baking now that’s sugar free as we use it like salt in baking! So yes this will be interesting. 😊
I don't need a date as I have been already doing it for a long time.
I go sugar free with a lot of items and I try to encourage my parents to do the same as me for all of our health as we live together. I follow the no more than 30 grams of added sugar rule by the n.h.s website. Which I find really easy as I am really under it. I have been doing this for a long time now and I noticed that I don't have many migraines now as they have been greatly reduced plus I don't have many soreheads anymore, I don't miss them.
Fantastic Survey to encourage people to reduce there sugar intake for there health especially for this day and age. Also great way to get people talking about there health communication is the key so we can support each other and not judge.
I already avoid sugar as much as possible although I take a teaspoonful of honey in tea or coffee. I also bake banana bread and coconut cake using honey rather than sugar. Refined sugar I avoid completely.
With how close the 17th and 24th are, I might run two challenges. If people benefit from the first week, they can join us for the second too
I'm in, and welcome the challenge/support! Probably best for me to start asap before the enthusiasm goes!🙂
Before I vote, can you clarify what you mean re sugar free, I.e does it mean no fruit?
I’m planning to practice this week and hopefully start next week
