If you haven't already done so, you should have your doctor check your hemoglobin A1C to make sure you aren't having a problem.

The same health condition says it would benefit me significantly to give up caffeine and sugar. Without those four food groups, I had no idea what I would eat. I'm halfway through January and have been able to do really well with no wheat or dairy but have really struggled to give up caffeine and sugar. The other night, after having my regular dessert, I had this massive headache and I decided then and there to be done with sugar and caffeine on a trial basis to see what it did to help me feel better. I'm really, really tired of feeling bad so hopefully this will help! I appreciated your timely post because I'm feeling out there on my own with anyone that hears of what I'm doing looking at me like I have three heads. :) In mid-December, I gave up wheat and dairy due to a health condition.

What a challenge. I tell myself I want to be healthy, but never really stick to any of the ways for getting that way. I don't have a choice any more. I am 90 lbs overweight, have a newborn and just found out that I only have 1 kidney that is really working overtime to compensate my habits. This should be great motivation to get it right, but since I learned this, I gained 10 lbs in rebellion. Now, I must take this challenge and embrace it for myself, my husband, my son and my witness. Thanks. I will pray for you and would love it if you guys would pray for me. WOW! What a challenge. I tell myself I want to be healthy, but never really stick to any of the ways for getting that way.

Sugar is my best friend...well, frenemy I should say. My doctor told me a couple of weeks ago that I am prediabetic and that I need to lose 25lbs and cut the sugar. He may as well have told me to go Vegan. I was angry, but i've realized that since I have cut back (and please note that when I say cut back I mean stopped putting sugar on my spaghetti..lol) I have lost weight and have a better attitude. I am with you, Shannon! Here's to a sugar lite year! ;-) Oh yes! Sugar is my best friend…well, frenemy I should say.

My husband went sugarless last June and feels great and has lost about 25 lbs. I went sugarless the last week in December. It's still hard...but I'm hanging in there. Asking the Lord everyday to give me the strength to endure. Reading His Word every morning instead of eating a muffin! :-) Thanks! Loved your article and totally agree!

Thanks for your candid sharing. I was wondering if this article may be helpful to you http://conceptnutrition.com.au/2008/12/how-to-stop-your-sugar-cravings/ I believe, cravings are symptoms of unmet underlying needs. Might be worthwhile to examine what these needs are. Use your emotions as guide along the way. All the best! Nice article. Thanks for your candid sharing.

Most people can go straight to a sugar substitute to help but I'm not able to. The substitute makes me sick. Some days are better than others. My biggest downfall is Coke. But, if I use it as a reward, I tend to not crave it as much. I do the same with chocolate, another big problem for me. I haven't noticed any of the problems you've mentioned other than the dry mouth but I haven't been looking for them. Thanks for bringing this to my attention. With God's help, I know He will see us through this!! Shannon,

I went for a whole year without having sugar (becides the sugar that's in fruit) a couple of years ago and never felt better and more incontroll of my life. I was so addicted to sugar at the time that I had to lock myself in my room or leave the house and go somewhere where there is no shops, just so I wouldn't be tempted to eat sugar or buy something decident. Over the last couple of years I've become really slack with my bad habbits creeping back and ive blamed my busy lifestyle but really I'm the only one to blame. Were the only ones who controll what we put in our mouths and a really good tip is to really look at what food you hold in your hands and ask yourself these questions...,how am I going to benefit from this food? What nutritional value does this food have? By eating this will I regrete eating this? It's going to be tough but we can do it with gods help and prayer! Hi Shannon,
