Dee - lol, yep have just finished 'the sweet poison quit plan' yesterday!!! Very interesting book...scary what they say about dementia....if it's correct then I'll never eat sugar ever again!! Recommend the book to anyone who hasn't heard of it..

Not going completely hardcore, still happy to eat bread that is 3.5% sugar...once I get home (currently at in-laws who only eat white bread) I'll start on my usual bread which is less than 1% sugar though. Will still be eating fruit & veg that are known for sugar content (carrots and tomatos..), really just will be cutting out the processed crap. Luckily don't have sugar in tea (I will miss my milos though...and aktavite ) and I'm not into soft drink so that's a good head start too.

Will be interested to see how long it takes before I only need to eat three meals a day with a tiny snack (if that) in between. I am such a grazer usually. Also interested in seeing if our grocery bills go down! Though the chocolate money might just convert to BBQ Shape money ha!

THanks for all the replies....appreciate the tips and encouragement!
