5. I kicked mine. Here is how I did it.

It took time, but having developed an issue with gluten with breads, pastas, I had to eliminate them from my diet. The same with White potatoes, white rice, and beans. As I gradually eliminated these food items from my diet, my cravings for sugar lessened. If I do eat something like a small dessert, the sugar is just way too much.

In addition, I dropped another 12 pounds as a result. My Glucose levels dropped as well. For complex carbohydrates increases blood sugar levels, which is not good if one is Diabetic. I do like Stevia with Monk Fruit in my tea. Natural sugars in fruits are fine. It is the refined sugars that get people into trouble.

I am a Lifetime Member of Weight Watchers(WW). I have been at or well below my set goal since 2014 after losing 53 to get there. Do consult with your Doctor as to what path you may need to take.

Good luck to you.
