Amy, that is going to be tough....I went cold turkey on sugar for a month and I have to say it really was the hardest hardest thing....my whole life Ive never gone a day without lots of sugar....I have such a sweet tooth and to give that up killed me. I found the first 2 weeks were the toughest....the first week in particular....I found myself just sniffing chocolate and stuff....my body craved it like mad! After that first initial time though it got easier and easier and I felt so much healthier! Having said that I found heathers diet soon after and I started all over again. Heathers diet however has been WAY more beneficial to my IBS than that particular diet was. Im with you every step of the way with this....from one sugar addict to another! And about the binge eating....I do that sometimes too...I did it last night....I had a dairy milk bar, pack of chocolate mini eggs and a bi bag of fatty crisp all within half an hour and felt sooo sick! I dont know why I do it to myself but I understand you completely. I know you CAN do this....we're all here for you so keep venting!!!
