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 been able to cut soda from my diet, so kudos to you for the attempt. Lately, I've been turned off the sickening sweet of cookies, and chocolates, so I've been avoiding those, and having little amounts of dark chocolate once in a while.

With my mom diabetic, we have a list of GI values of food, and some fruits have a higher rating.

I've been buying soda at the shop around the corner from my University. Some days, it'll just be one can. No diet there, unfortunately. Lately, I've drinking sprites for my nausea (too much heat from the heaters sometimes make me sick).

I've tried this too, it really works as you've notived. :P I stopped the "diet" during the summer, but I seem to have lost my ability to eat tons of candy and enjoy soda for good.

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.
