Sugar

I am a sugar addict. There I admitted it. It is what got me into trouble in the first place. And it almost got me into trouble again.

Thankfully I came across a documentary called "That Sugar Film" Now I understand how sugar affects me and why I am always hungry when I eat foods with sugar in them. It is available on Amazon Prime if you have that.

My gastric bypass was on 9-1-2011 I dropped 160lbs. Earlier this year I had gained 35lbs back. April 1st I cut all sugar from my diet and I lost 30lbs so far.

I just wanted to share if anyone else is looking for a way to get back on track.

There's a new documentary called "Sugarcoated" that is also pretty fabulous.

I follow a ketogenic diet post-op. I also have a diagnosis of binge eating disorder. Feel free to ask me about either!

I am, too! Also I am a compulsive eater. Low carb has been the only way I have ever been able to lose weight. I am getting sleeved in August, and I worry about regain if I can't stick with it. Just gotta do what I know works.

I was a sugar addict for years beginning when i was a kid. I learned i needed to fill up on vegetables

and use healthy sweeteners in my beverages that would help surpress my appetite.
