How Do You Break The 'Sugar' habit?(addiction)

[Ribble73]

Becoming vegetarian forces you to eat well. I can have barely anything at the takeaway these days save margherita pizza or fries! I don’t tend to bother. Microwaveable meals have gone too.

Just walk around regular areas and see how many grossly overweight people there are these days. It’s no way to live.

I’m meant to be lowering my Cholesterol a bit and it’s the same -stuff Takeaways -literally all of it is off limits

I always crave a fizzy drink - and have to fight daily the urge not to have one

I normally have 3-4 cans in total a week on average

@inbetween bang on excellent post. On a similar note to bakers, look at butchers. Killed off by the supermarkets who now have closed their own butchery depth.and force you to buy pre packed stuff.
I am going to start baking my own bread again (when gas prices fall :-) )

Literally no independent Bakers left in my Town (you literally can’t get a decent Loaf at all), just the one Grocer (who’s stuff has markedly dropped) and 2 I’m glad to say still very good Butchers

It isn't just the sugar, supermarket bread is full of E numbers as well to make it last longer on the shelf. It's miles better to get down to the local bakers but the problem is there's so few of them left. All that's left really is the baker chains like Pound Bakery but they're no different to the supermarkets.

The supermarkets have crushed local food makers and we're all suffering for it. There used to be loads of choice but nowadays you just automatically go to the supermarket because there isn't much else. It sums it up when you have millions of kebab shops but not one good bakers.

It's really hard nowadays to lose weight by eating better because even the 'good' stuff is loaded with crap. The really good stuff will cost you the earth.

My Sister and her kids bake their own bread so I get mine from her.

I also try and make all my meals from scratch myself. Soups, stews, chilis, curries etc.

Then a Sunday dinner at my parents of City aren’t playing.

There’s no sugar in crisps!

Too much salt though.

What's the BM's medical advisory boards' position on sweeteners? I take 2 per cup of tea and have about 7 cups a day during the week at work. Have read conflicting information about sweeteners.

They’re virtually all a bit iffy, those that aren’t, will be found to be at some point in the future, even ‘Stevia’ (a plant based sugar alcohol) has recently been linked to heart issues.

I still have some in moderation but try to avoid ‘Aspartame’ and ‘Saccharin’ though, knew someone who was on the original ‘Aspartame’ trials many many decades ago, said no way that should have been given the go ahead for human consumption and that it was the closest to death he’d ever felt, has never ever touched the stuff since, when you go through the absolute pantomime that got that okayed by the FDA, that should be enough to convince anybody something’s not right.

You begin to enjoy healthy food. It really does make you feel clean.

I have found that since I decided to just lie about it, I have convinced myself that I haven’t had any for years now. I don’t do sugar in tea or coffee, and to be honest would pass a law that condemns people who do to death, especially and always when I’m making them a cuppa. I don’t drink ginger at all, we call all fizzy soft drinks ginger. So, that’s good, but do I get praised for that? Take a stab in the fucking dark.

But back to hot beverages. How can you drink a hot sugary drink with savoury foods? Fucking animals the lot of you.
I have had to come up with new excuses for putting on a bit of weight, this week it’s chemtrails. I know they are a complete lie but there are so many fucking morons among us that I got away with that one. One person even said they made him look into peoples bedroom windows at night. I’m going out tonight with the ****, to make sure he doesn’t ruin flower beds on the way to the window.

Last week it was pesticides I blamed for weight gain, and next week I’m looking into claiming it’s a demon who comes in the night, puts me into a trance and makes me eat a lot of chocolate. My only wish is the **** would take the wrappers with him. I think he does that to make me go back to mass so some cunting saint can take him on. I can’t prove that,, but I will fight anyone who says I’m making this up. Even though I am.

So, lie to yourself. Never get caught eating sweet things, deny everything and blame everything except yourself. Bingo.

I’m here all week,,
