For some people, you gotta cut some stuff out (alcohol in my case). I don't really get crazy on sugar when I stop, but almost use it as a quick insulin spike to curb cravings, but i'm not drinking 2L bottles of soda. I'll have a few gummibears or something.
I don't know if anyone else experiences this, but my coffee consumption skyrockets if I don't keep it in check. I get tired through withdrawals and the process of the body healing, and end up drinking far too much coffee with sugar and cream. Gotta check my coffee intake... Sometimes I feel like crap and realized I'd just been drinking coffee since waking 'till 1pm.

I would second going to Keto, You teach your body to burn fat to make energy. almost 0 carbs or 20gms, and little protein. As far as coffee is concerned -- try the bulletproof coffee. Of all the things, my biggest concern is, I need to address my drinking...I am seeking positive energy here...Thank you all...

Ive experienced eating ice cream, candy bars and other things I normally never would think about but I think it is much better than drinking. It seems the majority of you work out, A LOT I would take one step at a time.
This time I am going with a vegan diet and just eating natural sugars. Pineapples were tasty but I didn't over do it.

Its that mentality that well at least were not drinking so we snack on treats all day and eat processed sugar loaded crap for meals.
It's also ironic to have people drink 12 beers and a large pizza every night for years and then get sober and think it's a donut that's going to kill them.
