Been trying to quit added-sugar since new year but keep failing and failing. The hardest part for me is starting my day every morning without my usual cup of sweetened coffee.

I know consuming sugar is not bad as long as we are doing it in moderation but I feel like I'm addicted to sugar and I hate the feeling of being so dependent on it. So I aspire to have my diet free of added sugar once and for all.

So any success stories out there on breaking sugar addiction? Do share.

coffe only no sweeten

I broke off my usual sugared coffee routine over 10 years back.
I went with half the sugar for 2 months.
Once my tastebuds got used to that, I halved it again.
Was totally off by the 5th month and been having kopi o kosong ever since.

i train myself to drink lots of water on week days.

on average, i take about 4 litres of water per day. that way, i cut down on sweet drink consumption.

i only treat myself with sweet drink/ food on the weekend.

this is the discipline i practiced since i started working.

Somebody told me to use this mantra: "Sugar is poison to the body".
So every time i have craving for sweet things, I will remember this mantra and try to avoid it.
