    There is never a better time to quit sugar than now. I lost 20 pounds within a few months when I did it. It is amazing the excess calories we eat without realizing.

      I’m not fat, obese or overweight, but sugar is the fucking devil. I have no addictive personality at all, and i don’t even like sweets, but atarted to drink energy drinks at almost 40, and i’m absolutely hooked. I quit smoking like it’s nothing. Alcohol? Nah. But i’m getting nervous when i can’t get my stupid energy drink. I don’t need the energy either

        Depending on the drink you’ve probably got a twofold addiction to sugar and also caffeine.

        I don’t get any kind of withdrawal symptoms from sugar, but if I don’t have caffeine I start to get anxiety like that.
