Carbs are good for you as long as they’re whole food carbs. For example whole wheat brown bread instead of white, brown rice instead of white etc.. I’ve been on a whole food plant based diet for a while now and quitting caffeine and sugar would be the icing on the cake for me, but it seems this is the hardest part.And you take care of yourself
Yeah when I cut I sometimes cut out all carbs and the first 2-3 days I have migraine type headaches, brain fog and blurry vision but then after that my energy levels rise quite a lot and I become very clear headed, nice feeling.
Yeah I know complex carbs are good but I was trying to lose fat asap after eating too much food on a dirty bulk for the last 6 months and when you say quitting sugar do you also mean no fruit?
I did that when I quit coffee and only drank tea, but now I want to cut caffeine out completely. I don’t really think it’s possible though considering I literally live by hot drinks lol.
If you get sugar cravings chew sugar free gum that worked for me
No, not fruit or honey, just white sugar and cane sugar in general.
I was gonna say to replace it with homemade smoothies, but if you prefer hot drinks...Hot milk with cinnamon & honey instead, perhaps?
You’re a genius, why didn’t I think of that?
Any more suggestions?
Can't think of anything else atm; I'm not as health conscious as I should be, so everything I drink usually tends to have sugar in itYou’re a genius, why didn’t I think of that?
Any more suggestions?
. I'll update you if I ever hear of something that meets your criteria though !
I don’t consume animal products except for raw organic honey. Greek yogurt and honey gives me Ramadan vibes as a teenager, my dad used to make that for sahoor.Try greek yogurt mixed with a tablespoon of honey, it' nice
I quit iced coffee when I realised how much sugar goes into it, but damn I miss my frappes.I've been trying to cut caffeine. But I drink mainly tea now. Drinking shaax is in my genes, I can't help it.
Laakin, stay away from iced coffee. That ish is the devil. I would drink that the entire summer, and I couldn't understand why I had gained weight around my midsection.
After I cut that out my diet, I lost all that I had gained, Alhamdulilah.
But as a student, I can't survive without my coffee. I don't know how others do it.

Coffee was probably the hardest thing to quit for me since I preferred it to tea.
Ruunti, I stopped drinking it for vanity reasons when I saw how it was causing me to gain weight.
Lol, I don’t blame you, who wants to have a pot belly?Iska bada the sugar, do you know how much cream goes into an iced coffee?
