My mom is in the process of giving up sugar, or at least diminishing it greatly. She has done almost two weeks. She said that it was like withdrawing from a drug. She also said she is feeling so much better without the sugar. Good for her, but I'm not jumping on the no-sugar bandwagon.If you think a whole chocolate bar at once is bad, you don't want to know how much I can eat at once. I have heard that stopping such indulgences cold turkey can help diminish cravings, although I haven't found it to be true for myself, even after several weeks and months.
This is what I was going to say. If you eat dark chocolate it actually is suppose to help lower blood pressure and can fight depression too. Moderation, of course, is the key!You could always try to swap out the milk chocolate for a good dark chocolate with a high cacao content. Then it doesn't have all that sugar in it and you still get your chocolate. That kind of chocolate actually has some health benefits as well so you don't have to feel guilty.
