Have you had success in removing or significantly decreasing sugar from your diet? Any tips to share?

Asked by jeffgoldblumsprivatefacilities (20019points) October 25th, 2010

I’ve been reading more and more about the negative effects sugar has on a person’s health, and I’ve decided to do my best to remove sugar (and all artificial sweeteners) from my diet. I’ve been more active recently in reading nutritional labels, and am shocked at the number of foods that have sugar (in one form or another) in them. This is going to be difficult!

So, have any of you jellies had success in significantly decreasing your sugar intake? I’ve done pretty well on limiting the typical sugary items (candy, pop, pastries, etc.) from my diet, but would be more interested in hearing ways on avoiding more common types of food surprisingly high in sugar, like some types of bread, condiments, yogurt, etc. I’d love to hear any tips/experiences/suggestions.

The lack of coffee creamer is going to be particularly difficult for me. :(
