Hi -- can you be more specific about what you mean by "no sugar." I too
tried cutting sugar entirely out of my diet for 4 weeks and lost a pile
of weight (though I couldn't really afford to, being thin to begin with)
and felt really terrific, once the cravings subsided. I've since fallen
off the wagon with a major thud. One of the things that made it hard to
stay off was the no-fruits rule. Does your no-sugar diet also eliminate
all fruit?
Thanks.
