I cannot give up my coffee. People would die!

I have been eliminating a lot of sugar from my diet for a few years. I'm still not a big fan of black coffee, but I would drink it if I absolutely had to cut all sweeteners and dairy out of my diet. I don't drink a lot of sodas anymore, but occasionally have a diet/sugar free one.

Thank you very, very much @Fergal, you made my day! Does this mean that I need to go without something in my diet again? uuuuugh Yesterday, I did get some no-sugar added Swiss Miss to prepare my iced mochas with and I have half of a bottle of Jordan's Skinny Syrups left for my iced mochas.

The FC that I earn is going toward Christmas. Thank you and Ho Ho Ho!

I cannot give up my iced mochas! I know what you mean!

Do you prepare your own? Tell me that you do not go to Starbucks? uuugh Save those $5.00 and prepare your own!

It's admirable that you want to make changes for your health. For myself, I already don't drink soft drinks very often, and don't drink coffee (I prefer tea). I don't drink much alcohol or eat much refined sugar either, so I think I'm just going to keep doing what I'm doing in moderation. I wish you luck though.

"As for alcohol, there is an exception. If you follow the Mediterranean Food Pyramid, to have 2 glasses of wine every day, is what you are told to consume."

That's interesting. It's a lot more alcohol than is recommended in Australia. Here the health department recommends no more than 10 standard drinks per week (which works out as no more than 6 medium glasses of wine per week).

"Now there are people that like to bake. Personally, I do not know how to bake. But, I have watched my mother before. Baking calls for alot of sugar."

It doesn't have to. There are recipes with less sugar, or which use things like fruit for sweetness. Maybe try searching online for low sugar recipes?

All of the baked goods almost call for high sugar. Me I don't take such for fear of my life.

Something weird has happened there. You have it as a quote from me, but that was Spontaneo, not me.

Hi, personally I don't take sugar, I don't take coffee, nor do I take soft drinks.

But alcohol- I don't know who bewitched me!!!

A friend that I am close to cannot have alcohol. So, I really cannot drink out of respect. I used to drink 2 glasses of wine a day.

Why is that, would your friend be upset if you drank in their company?

During our Diwali Festival, my Sweets intake has risen. Plus some other Oily and Fried eating.
Now, we all plan to have more Nuts, Fruits and simple home cooked meals.
But of course, we need to tame our taste buds as well.

I have been having my iced mochas with real sugar lately. So, I need to eliminate another item from the list! But, I like all 4 items from the list.

I think the worst of them all are soft drinks, sodas can destroy your health.

Most of the drinks including juices are not purely natural, they are made of flavors which are chemicals to me. Either way, I try as much as I can to avoid. Life is precious.

A local dollar store sells Ocean Spray Diet Cranberry Juice for less than $2.00 each bottle. I wish that they sold Diet Grape Juice but they don't.

Pay attention when a product is diet, normally the sugar is replaced by artificial sweeteners such as aspartame, and they end up being even more harmful to our health than the sugar itself.

Hi, for my juice I normally blend my fresh fruits instead of taking the preserved ones. I try as much as possible to live a healthy life.

For me l am always insisting on the balanced diet. My strategy for the good health ever has been through abiding on the balanced diet.

Ocean Spray is a good household name and has been on the market here in the United States for many, many years. Very trustworthy.

For you are even lucky. If you can make your own and enjoy it, you are likely to be healthier than those who take artificial sweeteners and preservatives. They are killer in the long run I guess.
