I quit coffee New Years and the reason was I was drinking it with a teaspoon of sugar and throughout the day would have about 5 cups like this. Being 240 days into the year I have cut out 1200 teaspoons of sugar from my diet by cutting coffee. I would like to cut out other sugars as well but find it extremely difficult to get ride of things like chocolate.
I tried to cut out processed/added sugar in April. It's worked great mostly, even when eating out if I'm careful. Tea was the big thing for me though. I'm from the South and was literally drinking sweet tea from the time I was a few months old. It was difficult, especially as my grandmother made the best tea. But she eventually started making unsweet for me and it's really hard to go back to sweet tea. It's just so overpowering. Even eating too much sugar makes me sick now.
I'm super glad I'm in Ireland now though, as I hope to keep up with the no added sugar trend once I start cooking for myself more. It'll be really interesting to see how much more weight I can lose (down ~20lbs since summer started simply by IF, walking and cutting out sugar more rigorously)
