Guest guest Posted May 19, 2006 Report Share Posted May 19, 2006 Cold turkey!!! I'm not the right person to ask, I have to do or die. Or whatever the expression is. I ate 2 huge vegan chocolate chip cookies and downed it with a soy decaf late with sugar in it and then started the next day no sugar Sept 1, 2000 I flipped, sweat, diarhhea all sorts of stuff. I even did no fruit for a year I think. Brown rice syrup was the way to go for me. Sugar Blues is not a vegan book but very intersting to read about how bad for you it really is. Why does she want to get off sugar? Not like it's a bad idea mind you. > > A friend of mine is trying to get off sugar, and just found out she > also has a glueten allergy and that is why she has been so bloated. > > Her issue is coming off sugar. > > Reggie I recommended Sugar Blues to her, since you had once > recommended it to me ...but since I am not 100% off sugar myself I > don't know how to suggest she begin. > > She's already said she cannot do cold turkey, suggestions on how to > wean her off?

Guest guest Posted May 20, 2006 Report Share Posted May 20, 2006 Wow, Reggie. That's intense. You are almost to your 6 year anniversary of no sugar! Congrats! I'm not sugar-free yet. I was for a time last year and it creeped back in...mostly in salad dressings (I have a weakness for Annie's Balsamic Vinegrette) when I was too lazy to whip up my own. I usually have no refined sugar in the house, but I made a cake for my dh's birthday in March and I have a tad of brown sugar left. I should throw it out. Once I had it in my cabinets, I wound up making oatmeal cookies the next week, then something else with brown sugar, etc. Insipid stuff, that sugar. Do you remember how long it took you to get through the physical withdrawl? Re: sugar > Cold turkey!!! I'm not the right person to ask, I have to do or > die. Or whatever the expression is.

Guest guest Posted May 20, 2006 Report Share Posted May 20, 2006 Hey , Thanks. I'm far from sugar free, probably still discharging I've had sugar in stuff a few times since but less than I can count on my hand and I've suffered each time for it. I had to do it, I was in horrible pain all the time and when I was promised this would do it for me I said what do I have to lose. The bad physical withdrawl things took over a week or so. I have to tell you I don't remember for sure. My life was/is a blur very often I just told myself this was something I had to do so I kept going. Things tempt me so much less now because it's so easy to do without so much without and simple to make on my own if not. I made a 'cake' tonight used brown rice syrup, oat milk and a drop of juice to sweeten. I was once told that if I child doesn't eat sugar (ever ever ever) if they try it, it will burn their tongue b/c it's acid (?) and we're just used to it. Well, I didn't believe it till one time we were at this sanctuary type place and in the gift shop Marlie was playing with stuff and started to play with ladybug foil covered chocolates. I was looking at some junk and all of a sudden she screamed. I looked over at her and she was spitting out a piece of the stuff. Someone had broken open a few and so she stuck a bit in her mouth. I'm now a believer sugar is the devil. > >> > >> A friend of mine is trying to get off sugar, and just found out > > she > >> also has a glueten allergy and that is why she has been so bloated. > >> > >> Her issue is coming off sugar. > >> > >> Reggie I recommended Sugar Blues to her, since you had once > >> recommended it to me ...but since I am not 100% off sugar myself I > >> don't know how to suggest she begin. > >> > >> She's already said she cannot do cold turkey, suggestions on how > > to > >> wean her off?

Guest guest Posted May 23, 2006 Report Share Posted May 23, 2006 Sadly, all three of my children know and love sugar. When Finn was 2 she got a taste of something sugary at a family event (I think it was chocolate, too) and she spit it out and wiped off her tongue. Of course, now she loves the stuff. Re: sugar Well, I didn't believe it till one time we were at this sanctuary type place and in the gift shop Marlie was playing with stuff and started to play with ladybug foil covered chocolates.

Guest guest Posted May 25, 2006 Report Share Posted May 25, 2006 , And several of mine have never come through. I just typed out a message for you that got lost! I lived in Kobe, Japan for 3 years teaching English. It was an interesting learning experience as a teacher and personally being in a new culture. My memory is filled with all the sights, smells, tastes, etc. What an unusual country! After my first year in Japan, I met my teachers and attended their macrobiotic school. I went almost every week to Osaka, and sometimes every day during the week for intensive lectures and cooking classes. It made my whole time there very worthwhile, because we had so many cool truly Japanese cultural excursions. There was only one other Western woman studying there, one of my dearest friends from college. I would recommend traveling there very heartily!

Guest guest Posted May 26, 2006 Report Share Posted May 26, 2006 Do you buy the stuff or do they just inhale when they have the opportunity when they're out? You are a great mom and make super meals for them, if you really want don't bring it home (if it's home).

Guest guest Posted May 26, 2006 Report Share Posted May 26, 2006 Do you buy the stuff or do they just inhale when they have the opportunity when they're out? You are a great mom and make super meals for them, if you really want don't bring it home (if it's home).

Guest guest Posted May 28, 2006 Report Share Posted May 28, 2006 Nope, I don't buy it. I did have some sugar in the house from a cake I made for dh's birthday, but I threw that out last week. When we go out, party or whatnot, that's when they get sugar. Overall, it balances out since I don't buy it or (usually) keep it in the house. Last night Noah (9) went to a birthday party. I told him he could make his own choices about what to eat, but I asked that he scrape any dyed icing off the cake. He brought home his party favor, which was a huge pixie stick, and he threw it away when he got home.
