Get some diet counselling. High sugar does not work forever. You have a

"lack of sugar" attacks you will have.


I do agree that I need to cut more sugar. But I need a WOE that will
allow me to splurge sometimes on sugar without ruining my whole diet.
And I need to lower it over time. Going cold turkey would turn me into
a wreck, and I would be doomed to fail. You would have to literally
lock me up to keep me from some form of sugar every day. Today, I had
a few cups of hot chocolate. Going 3 weeks without carbs is
inconceviable to me.

Me too. For the last 20 years of my adult life I have been drinking
1/2 gallon or more a day of sugary drinks(including milk which has
about half as much sugar as Pepsi). Plus I love sweet sauces on foods.
I put ketchup on everything(an infamous childhood habit) and anything
tastes good with barbeque sauce or honey mustard. I am a chocoholic,
my favorite being Double-stuff Oreos. While I don't eat chocolate
every single day, I'd says I ate it more than half the days of my
life.

However, today is day 22. I haven't eaten chocolate or sweets in over
three weeks. The only thing I drank for 21 days is water. ON Atkins I
accomplished something I have never been able to do by willpower or
moderation. Everything you said is exactly what I thought in the past.
