    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.

        You are fighting millions of years of evolution, that’s why sugar is so addictive even for people that otherwise don’t have an addictive personality.

        They have sugar free energy drinks and they are pretty good. Not that anyone needs them.
