A Year Without Added Sugar Starts Here

2 years ago I stopped the dieting as a serious proposition and over that time I have regained about 24 kilos of the 46 kilos I had lost.

Lots of reasons why that happens, mostly due to eventual slacking and loss of discipline, and the proof that if I do not take it seriously then I will put on weight again.

So this time round, 2 years I have decided that one of my biggest enemies is definitely sweets and sugar contained in foods without my realizing, or caring to be honest.

So this time instead of a month without sugar, it's time to go hard or go home and try living without added sugar for a whole year.

Much harder but I know it can be done.

I read 52 books, lost 46 kilos, wrote 750,000 words, have run over 750 kilometers and all by sticking to the discipline of a years commitment and being bloody minded enough to take it one day at a time and just stick to it.

I am also doing two other projects this year, a manuscript submission per month and a piano lesson/practice every day.

Rules: No Added Sugar in anything I eat. So if it says 'sugar' as an added ingredient then it's a no, regardless of the percentage. Naturally contained sugars are fine, like in fruit or milk, but not if it is an added ingredient. Also excludes sugars under a different name like Dextrose, Maltodextrin etc...

Current Weight Day One: 105.6 kg

I'll update here as I progress, and detail some of the surprises I find along the way.
