My plan for living without sugar lasted for ten days and then only with massive doses of sugar substitutes. Sugar is everywhere and in everything. I walked through a large grocery store yesterday specifically looking for items with no sugar and no salt. There may have been 5 items outside of the butcher section, the fruit section, and the dairy section without refined sugar or salt.
To go without either would require a massive lifestyle change but just might give me more life after the change. I'm considering giving it a go. What I am currently doing for weight loss is certainly not working.
