In reply to Christine Carter. Okay, Chris, what do you think you could substitute for the Sierra Mist and the raw sugar? Have you tried kombucha and stevia?

Thanks for this, Alison! I’m guilty of putting raw sugar in my coffee and need to try to wean off. BUT I am most guilty of drinking my diet Sierra mist on the regular. It’s my thing, my fix, my love. LOL I KNOW it’s not good for me… Sigh.

In reply to Dana. They're the best steps, Dana! I've been able to cut back to one drop of stevia most of the time (except for in my green smoothies) :-)

I’m determined to tame my sugar habit – starting with coffee. I only use a few drops of Stevia, but I’m down to 2 drops (from 4). Baby steps, right?

I’m with you on recognizing the extra sweetness in food once you get accustomed to consuming less sugar. It literally startles your palate when that sugary-ness hits you!

I have noticed that when I reduce it for long enough, everything starts to taste too sweet! Like in my 20’s, I could easily drink a Starbucks latte with the default amount of syrup. Now? Even half of that is too small! And some fruits, most fruits, are plenty sweet. Fiber and protein help me.
