6/9/18 Sugar Detox Day 1

Very simple.  Do not take sugar for the next 14 days.  See if I can handle it.

My rule will be no sugar and starch.  No Nicorette either.

This morning I only sweat for 30 minutes.  I feel a bit exhausted since I changed to the Weighted Walk.  So the 30 minutes adjustment is necessary.

Bowel movement was fantastic with Horlicks.  Something to consider.  Unfortunately Horlicks is high carbs.

I'll go along with this Sugar Detox and see how far it takes me.

I got really sleepy by 11:00 am.  So I slept until 1:15 pm.

Lunch was at 1:30 am.  I had Korean chicken wings and drumettes.

Again in the afternoon I knockout for a few hours.

Missed afternoon exercise due to rain as well as the sleep.

--------------------

Should I take Horlicks?  I am already down by 1.7 kg since the past few days.  I will persist.  This is the first stage to no sugar living.  I been wanting to live without sugar.  I might as well commit to this cause.

I want to know how does it feels to no longer depends on sugar.  If I can stop depending on cigarettes, I should ENJOY not to depend on sugar.

Things I will miss:

1. Cordial Syrup (can dilute a bit)
2. Horlicks (better stay away)
3. Bread with coconut jam and butter (better stay away)
4. Super Combo Nasi Lemak (avoid at all costs)
5. Cucur Udang (avoid at all costs)
6. Karipap Sardin (avoid at all costs)
7. Banana (fruit OK)
8. Apple (fruit OK)
9. 3-in-1 Coffee (no more)
10. Pokka Coffee (no more)

The Sugar battle is fought on daily basis,  Before the day end I need to ensure I don't consume any sugar.

Even water taste sweet with the absence of sugar.

I gain weight and I get inflammation with sugar.  So I declare:

• First enemy is cigarettes
• Second enemy is carbs and sugar 

Item 1 & 2 is nice to have, not necessary.  

If I can avoid breakfast, I can avoid item 3, 4, 5 & 6.

Item 9 & 10 are poisons.

First thing’s first: According to Dr. Smith, no one can technically “quit” sugar, since it’s the fuel our bodies run on and is present in lots of healthy foods, including fruits, vegetables, and whole grains. Instead, it’s about learning how to eat the sweet stuff in moderation, since even if you think your diet’s healthy, you’re probably getting more of it than you should.

“In week two, most people talk about residual cravings,” Dr. Smith explains. “They’re beyond the withdrawal symptoms, but they’re missing certain types of sugary substances.” (Hey, it can take a while to acclimate to fat bombs if you’re used to Chunky Monkey.)

To combat this, he says, make sure you’re eating plenty of protein, healthy fats, and fiber with each meal, which will help you feel fuller, longer.
