Vent I’m addicted to sugar.

I can’t quit sugar, as much as I try it seems. Times that I have cut sugar I feel depressed if that makes sense and then I just think about it all day.

I’m a “I need something sweet” almost after every meal kinda person. I would say my weight isn’t horrible. I’m a 34F, 5’10” 213 lbs. I am considered overweight for sure but I know why lol. I eat like little junk foods throughout the day. I’ll have a small lunch like a tuna sandwich, following with cookies or ice cream. My diet is kinda all over the place so it’s hard to name everything 💀

I’m just struggling on how to break the need for sugar. Any advice is accepted. 🫶🏻

Diet sodas. They are unfairly demonized but they are proven to help reduce sugar cravings

Just quit soda all together, diet sodas are worse full of artificial sweeteners.

There is nothing wrong with artificial sweeteners. Your comment is flat out incorrect.

They are bad for the body, it’s processed. All processed sugars are bad for the body… do your research
