I just abruptly cut a lot of sugar and artificial sweeteners from my diet. I stopped putting sugar in my tea and quit eating sweets and drinking soft drinks. I've been having fresh fruit for snacks and I'm working on doing something about the nutritionary values of my meals.

The funny thing is that I only started on Monday and already the fruit seem to taste sweeter than they used to, and what used to be my favourite juice tastes entirely too sweet (technically I quit that juice too, but I had a carton in the fridge that needed finishing).

I'm very interested to see how this goes. I've "quit sweets" before, but never like this and never with this kind of results. So far I've had no cravings for the stuff I've cut out, either, but as I said, it's only been three days.

I've never taken sugar in my tea and I cut pop out of my life a few years ago. I only have maybe a few pieces of chocolate once a month. I've been doing it for so, so long and it's so incredibly easy once you form a habit. Soon enough you'll never think about pop again. I can't stand it anymore, the carbonation burns my throat, lol.

It does seem a lot easier to do it this way than how I've tried to cut back on sweet things in the past. Completely giving up carbonated drinks forever would be so great.
