Day 34

[MrJoshua]

Not posted in here before so just saying hi.

I'm interested to know if anyone in here has over eaten sweets but now is completely sugar free.

I can eat £10 of junk on a binge.

I even went to overeaters anonymous a few times but just didn't get on to well there.

Any tips welcome.

Day 34 of eating just 3 meals a Day today

Hi MrJoshua ,

Welcome to the group. Please feel free to continue posting your postings and comments, reading and commenting on other Member's postings/comments, take the polls on the Polls section, ask questions, go through the Topics section and get more information, attend the monthly meetings held once a month (we have one scheduled for December 9th on the DI group (see Pinned Posts for details)) and of course, get to know the rest of the group's members. Everyone is willing to help and is friendly.

Using on-line weight loss/eating healthy websites can be a little easier than going to an off-line type of support group since it's in a person's home. My Grandfather was a member of Overeaters Anonyomous years ago. It helped a little bit, but not as much.

Congratulations on the progress you've made so far with the meals and cutting some of the sugar. Keep up the great job!

Have you tried a big salad as your meal?

I love salad

Thank you for your reply

I used to have sugar cravings, which I curbed by taking chelated magnesium.

I still eat sugar, but mostly from fresh & dried fruit. I'll occasionally have a small binge, but try to swap sweets for something healthier like medjool dates that are high in minerals & are low GI, despite the sugar content, or dried mango. Dark chocolate of the >70% solid cocoa type is also a nutritious swap. I opt for quality rather than quantity & usually make a bar of the good stuff last a week.

Hi MrJoshua ,

Glad you've posted here in the Healthy Eating forum, and wishing you a Warm Welcome.

I used to eat a lot of sugary things - but I now try to cook my cakes without any added sugar, and I no longer have sugar in my tea and coffee - I have found that my taste buds have literally adapted and I just don't need that added sugar anymore.

I enjoy the sugary flavours of natural fruits, and I do have dried fruits in my cake, and I savour the taste that way.

Well done for your new eating regime, and wishing you continued success with it.
