>tfw addicted to eating unhealthy, sugary foods on an almost daily basis
How do I stop?
We must get addicted to avoiding sugar lol
Low crab it
quit acting like a subhuman bitch and man-up
>>7639595
Stop buying them. It's a lot easier to exercise willpower at the grocery store (especially if you're not shopping while hungry) than it is when there's a package of candy right in your pantry.
Stop eating junk food, dumb shit.
Stop eating
Stop buying
Convert to honey master race
>>7639595
You're lucky OP. There's a multitude of sugar substitutes out there.
I'm a salt addict. We got one: potassium, and do much of that shit will kill ya.
>>7639607
>i'm addicted to cigarettes, how do i stop?
>just stop smoking, dumb shit
>>7639616
Sounds about right
>>7639607
It's so hard tho. I'm literally eating sweets right now as I type this.
>>7639609
Honey is still sugar, dumbass. There's no statistical difference in terms of health outcomes or predictors for studies that compare the two.
>>7639641
do you want diabetes?
stop eating sugar and other forms of sucrose.
You probably drink milk too, that has plenty of lactose, even more so if it's skim milk.
Don't eat low-fat anything, they replace the fat with sugar.
>>7639595
you don't. 10 billion years from now the healthy people won't be any better off than the 500 lb walmart people
>>7639640
Here's a cool party trick: get a stopwatch, walk up to a smoker, tell them to "just stop smoking, dumb shit" and time how long it takes for them to punch you in the face.
I'm with ya OP. I think I'm addicted to eating sugary food, salty food and fatty food and I'm not sure how to resist the temptation to eat it when it's ever present. I don't control the shopping in my home, unfortunately, and diplomacy has failed.
>>7639595
Vdry, very slowly I weaned off of it. It took a long while but I'm officially sugar free.
>>7639659
El oh el.
>>7639607
Thank you. Fucking weak-willed cu/ck/s. Never gonna make it.
cold turkey
Today I've eaten:
7 cream filled biscuits
9 gummy lollies
1 honey, chocolate and cranberry nut bar
1 can of coke
>>7639595
>tfw I have the same problem
its hard. and the ignorant idiots saying just quit eating should think before they speak, will power can only get you so far, 70% of the people in the USA are overweight if it was so easy to do it people would. The same for smokers and druggies if it was so easy for them to quit, they would.
We need to seriously start looking at this problem some other way, for one thing that makes sugar addiction different than drugs or nicotine is that we literally have evolved to want sugar and eat all the sugar we can get our hands on.
i wonder if one took the same kind of meds that help alcoholics quit if it would help with sugar addiction.
>>7639595
I obviously can't tell you what will work for you but for me, quitting pop cold-turkey was the easiest way for me to eat healthier.
>>7639818
how did you deal with cravings for something sweet?
>>7639595
I just drink Diet Coke for when I get a sweet tooth. And aspartame isn't bad for you unless you're eating 10 lbs a day, stop spreading this meme
>>7639595
>asian market is 9 blocks away
>can litterally take train and be there in 5 minutes
>they sell gigant bags of gummis, any kind and good brand, at 1/5 store price
>half off pepperidge farms double chocolate brownie cookies
>anything thats not the delicious traditional cookies can get as low as 25% price
>they get smoked salmon for dirt cheap
>they get all kinds of pate for the same price the supermarket asks for cheese dip
>shrimp, raw bacom by the pound
oh god, im freaking lucky im poor right now, if i ever get out of this rough times i will become a candidate for the fattest man alive
>>7639847
anon, there are no free lunches.
if they can sell the same product that much cheaper cool. more likely it is not the same product.
>>7639851
Asian markets usually have buyers who demand lower prices than western markets, plus they have lower overhead. Employees are often paid as little as possible because their poor English skills make them unemployable elsewhere, and they're often in locations with cheaper rent.
>>7639851
actually i can explain it.
There are food regulations on importation meaning that you either sell local or you pay elevated taxes on your food.
This was a retarded policy because as soon as it got implemented local produce prices went through the roof
So they had to manate for salarys to be higher
meanwhile most grocery stores in the country are asian and there is an actual mafia that controls them
asian market used to sell fresh fish and ingridiets asian restaurants use but since they are also controlled by the mafia they are able to bring food from other neighboring countrys tax free
so now my shitty local mustard costs the same as german or french mustard.
Granted fish and pork are still expensive but they carry the most quality yo can get
man asians are like the anty jew
>>7639886
bullshit, margins on groceries are laughable.
"normal grocery stores" dont make money from the groceries themselves but from slotting fees/shelfing fees they charge distributors and manufacturers and on top of that their bulk money comes from the sale of soft drinks and chips.
also grocery stores get better prices than your mom and pop "asian market" stores because they can buy in quantity for a week that mom and pop stores will buy in half a year.
Replace the candy with fruit then
>>7639595
Do not, my friends, become addicted to sugar. It will take a hold of you, and you will resent its absence.
stop eating, OP
If you cut food out entirely... you will not eat sugary foods.
"But I need to live!"
~~ no, you don't!
Incremental changes man, Buddha said change is constant, just keep that in mind and picturize your goal. Each step starts with one journey my man
>>7639908
>mom and pop "asian market
all the stores on the asian market operate with 5 open registers plus people handeling both the fish and meat, i dobut there are less than 12 people working one at any given time compared with grocerys that are run by 3 or 4 people, they sell both bulk fish, bulk rice that you cant get anywhere else nor in smaller size and tons of other bulk ingridients.
I have no idea what your sad small town passes for asian market
>>7639822
Eat something with protein and fiber instead because that's what your body's actually asking for
you niggas suck, i used to eat like 800g of candy every week, but stopped half a year ago and hasn't been a problem.
sure, i get the occasional craving, but usually something else to satiate you will do fine
Cold turkey, bitch.
Get rid of all sources of sugar in the house. You won't get tempted if there's nothing to be tempted by. Give yourself a cheatday to work for once every 2 weeks.
>>7639974
No cheat days
only cheaters cheat. To give up sugar is to purify oneself of the base animal nature. Lying, cheating, and sugar. It's all or nothing dear friends
>>7639595
Just don't buy them or have them in the house.
If they're not available, you can't eat them.
When I go to my local grocer, the baked goods isle is right by the deli, and it's pure suffering, but I persevere.
>>7639595
Just go low on carbs, I started my diet around 1.5 months back, lost 27lb & never craved for any sugar, only drank water for nearly a month.
>>7639616
that's what i did faggot
>>7639940
They still buy their food from the same place as other stores except they can't make bulk deals like other stores do because their store is to small. So if their prices are lower its not the same food.
There is another option, there is a underground network of food purchasers from regular people off the street for less than what the food is worth as a way of trading food stamps for cash. If you tell me these Asian markets are getting their groceries in that fashion then I can see them being cheap. Otherwise it's not the same food, they can be selling you damaged/banana box groceries for all you know.
>>7639616
That works though, especially if you can chain smoke yourself sick before quitting cold turkey, the negative association really helps.
>>7639595
Find a new addiction
I smoke
The most disgusting thing I tasted was a regular milk chocolate bar after 6 months of ketogen eating. It literally tasted like "solid sugar-vegetable oil block with tiny bit of cocoa flavour". It's amazing how eating sugar in big masses on a regular basis numbs the senses and brain.
>>7639616
What's the problem with this greentext?
>>7640311
Apparently so much it made you go on a meme diet
>>7639595
quit caffeine.
Become addicted to salty (non-sugared) meats instead. Nobody shames anyone for that.
>>7640311
>eating chocolate as i read this
>>7639616
That's literally how I stopped smoking cigarettes and drinking alcohol. I just decided to stop, then did.
That was back on March 28, 2012
>>7640439
You don't just randomly decide to stop being addicted to stuff you faggot. If it was that easy addiction wouldn't exist.
>>7640462
Addiction affects everyone differently. I'm not saying his advice is good though.

>drink coke even when not eating
>4 coke a day minimum
I just don't understand what you drink with meals if not soda
>>7640477
Nothing. Or water. Or milk and milk alternatives.
>>7640477
Why not drink sparkling water or water?
>>7640477
I've taken to flavored sparkling waters. Really great for weening yourself onto water pretty exclusively. You'll eventually wonder how you drank anything so sweet so frequently.
>>7639822
Hey man, I quit sugar. Te way I did it was t have a fruit smoothie when I was craving sweets. Try that. Note: this only helps to quit processed/refined sugar
>>7640477
I don't understand how people crave sugar-water with a meal. I can't imagine alternating bites of good food with soda.
I grew up drinking Diet Coke and never got a taste for sugary sodas. Now I only drink water, club soda/sparkling water, beer, wine, etc., but I definitely was almost addicted to Diet Coke for some time.
When I was in university I would start drinking Diet Coke again around exam time. After a few days, it is literally all I wanted to drink. I'm not sure if it is a physiological thing or nostalgia or what, but that's what happens if I drink it frequently for a few days.
If I order food and they give me a sugary soda instead of Diet Coke I don't drink it. I find the taste off-putting, but it is more the idea of consuming that much sugar and calories in a drink. I'd rather eat a hamburger or something good than soda.
this whole thread is super fucking neckbeardy
you can eat anything you want if you don't go fucking mental on it
saying 'daily' makes no sense, you could be eating less than someone who eats it once a week in a big blowout.
Just be yourself :^)
>>7639595
Stop buying it
That's what I did
>>7639595
.....i.I don't know what to say man use some self control
>>7639595
If you don't then your gut bacteria will get upset and mind control you so to speak. I got really depressed and anxious. Took a bite of a donut and the thoughts went away. Now that you know this, you can see it happen and not be controlled by your gut.

>>7640477
juice, water
cold turkey, one day at a time, keep your day count, and go to overeaters anonymous.
i'm not even fucking joking. you need help.
Go low carb. If you have cravings, eat more fat. Still have cravings? Eat more fat.
Man you HAVE to fucking stop your addiction now.
I am 357lbs.
Here are all the sugary items I have eaten or beveraged (I can't remember the word for eating beverages) today
1 2L bottle of Vanilla coke
2 small bags of skittles
1 Hershey bar
10 Pixy Stix
A Vanilla shake from McDonalds
Bowl of Reeses cereal
This is all I have eaten today, I cannot eat anything that isn't sugary. It isn't even 7pm here so I haven't had my dinner yet either. Dinner for me is usually something that might be healthy given a sugary twist. Last 3 dinners I have had:
Grilled Chicken with Cashew noodles, but I coated the cashews in chocolate and dipped the chicken in a honey/syrup mixture
Homemade Mango curry. Mango is sweet anyway but I couldn't resist stirring in some Mango ice cream.
On Monday I got myself a Meatball Marinara sub from Subway but didn't think it would be sweet enough so asked the server to completely coat the bread in honey mustard before toasting it, and finally I asked them to coat some extra cheese in honey mustard before adding them. Whole thing was so sweet but I love it.
I can't eat non sweet food anymore. I even mix sugar into my shampoo so if a hair gets into my food I don't taste something bitter.
I have diabetes
>>7639799
Today I've had:
About 5 or 6 chocolate chip biscuits
1 packet of Rowntree's Randoms (50g)
3 After Eight style chocolates
Sugar drinks is something I never have anymore because I fear of them rotting my teeth. I always just go sugar free. I drink sugar free squash every day, and if I ever have fizzy drinks (which is rare cos I just don't really love them that much) then I'll have Coke Zero / Pepsi Max etc. I prefer Pepsi Max to regular Pepsi anyway.
Yes sweets rot your teeth too but I don't think they're as bad as sugary, carbonated, acidic liquid cascading over your teeth.
>>7642306
How are you possible
>>7640482
You drink milk? What are you 10?
>>7642306
I doubt this is true, but pretty funny either way.
Here's what I do to help avoid binging on sugar
I slowly brew myself a cup of loose leaf tea, and grab myself an apple or clementine or both. I make sure to pace myself consuming it all, slicing the apple and eating it one slice at a time.
The ritual and slow paced consumption has me acknowledge that I'm no longer craving sugar before I stuff half a dozen cookies down my throat.
>fruit still has sugar
eh
>>7640477
Do you guys have squash in America? I drink a pint of this stuff basically every mealtime
Best to go for the sugar-free / no added sugar stuff. Still tastes really good, in fact better in my opinion. Yes it means they have sweeteners like aspartame in them but I haven't died yet.
>>7642320
You don't drink milk? What are you, 10?
>>7642344
Low calorie sweeteners have been shown to increase your appetite
Mind your portions
>>7642334
Yeah fruit has sugar but they're more complex sugars which means your body takes longer to break them down which means they don't give you diabetes (unless you drink loads of fruit juices then you can still get diabetes I think)
And the fibre in fruit is good for you
And because you're eating all that fibrous stuff it means the sugar in the fruit can't attack your teeth as badly as refined sugar in coke can, where the sugary liquid just sloshes all over your teeth
>>7642349
Infants are the only ones who should be drinking milk, and not cow's milk.
>>7642358
>fruit
>complex sugars
Yes fructose and glucose are very complex. The only thing that makes whole fruit slightly better than drinking juice is the fiber content.
i used to be the same way OP
quitting wasnt half as hard as I expected it to be.
simply:
>stop buying sweets all together
>gather up all the sweets you have left, portion them out into reasonable portions (use little plastic bags so you can't cheat)
>label each portion with the name of a day
>keep telling yourself some bullshit like sweets were made illegal and when your personal stash runs out, thats the end of candy for you.
sounds stupid but it works.
>>7639595
Stop drinking soda
Everything else goes down along with it
Or find a new addiction, this is mine.
>>7642358
>frusctose
>complex
>sugar
>complex
By definition sugars are pretty fucking simple
>>7642481
that looks good as hell and comes in the trader joe pure cranberry juice container
too bad that stuff is worse for you than soda with all the sugar and saturated fats
>>7642481
>stop drinking soda (because of sugar)
>suggests another sugary drink as an addiction
>>7642502
No human can
Animal proteins drain nutrients from our bodies and toxify us

>>7642547
You like putting meat in your mouth
>>7639606
This. If it's not available when the little demon inside you craves sugar, your fat lard ass probably won't drive or walk to the store to pick some up. So stop buying that shit.
anyone know what amount of sugar per day to limit yourself to?
>>7642548
Dead animal meat once they have been butchered and slaughtered, yes
Not cocks, like you
>>7642550
yes fruit is marginally better than eating table sugar
>>7642559
I think it's 75g, pretty sure it's what I read once and that's what I always go with
>>7639641
You know man, maybe you should hire someone to beat the shit out of you whenever you try to take a bite into some sweets at home.
>>7639799
How many calories is that? You should be ashamed of yourself.
>>7639847
Made in china gummies, yummm.
>>7640311
HFCS does that to you.
>>7640477

Objectively false
>>7642576
I have 6000 pounds in my savings account actually
Weight wise, I'm 10 stone / 64 kg
>>7640462
No one said it was "easy". I just said that's how I did it. Decided to quit, then kept on not doing it.
>>7642306
Have you ever considered starting a satirical blog? I would follow it.
>>7642579
eating the equivilent amount of sucrose that is in say an orange is only slightly worse than eating the orange itself and mostly has to do with fiber and slowing the bodies digestion of the food.
>>7640382
You've never tried it, and only know what people say about it. Your opposition to it is just your own form of meming
>>7639595
self discipline mate.
tfw you know you have a box of vanilla pudding.
>>7646855
None matches the sweet indulgence in the pristine flavour of the vanilla puding.
>>7639595
Replace it with fatty food
>>7643564
Ignoring the additioal intake of vitamins and other good stuff, there's still the fact that a certain amount of sugar in form of fruit isn't as easy as eating it in form of sweets.
It's the same thing with people who say, calories in - calories out is all that matters. They are right on the paer, but to get fat on vegetables you have to eat all day long and a stomach like a bottomless pit, so adding more to a diet helps people without the willpower to just stop eating after they hit a certain amount of calories.
>>7639612
>I'm a salt addict
Salt isn't addictive, cuntlord.
Go almost cold turkey.
When I quit soda, I said to myself that I could only have soda on Friday, and then I could have as much soda as I wanted. After a couple weeks of this, I found that come Friday I only really wanted one soda. A few more weeks and I was skipping my Friday soda entirely.
I also recommend avoiding high fructose corn syrup. I found that when I drank a soda with HFCS, I'd end up wanting another, whereas with a cane sugar soda I was more likely to feel satisfied.
>>7639595
Once you pop you can't stop.
>You beat the sugar meme
At least do it for a week senpais, your taste buds will be awesome afterwards
>tfw no snacks & candy, 2nd week, never really liked sodas
>mix a teaspoon of homemade lingonberry jam into a glass of milk the days I want to treat myself
>>7647580
I found switching to sparkling mineral water (topo chico) helped me a lot. I dig the carbonation more than the sweetness.
