Preparing to Quit Sugar: Your Checklist

This isn’t a full quitting procedure, just a checklist to help you get ready to quit. Take it a day at a time. Then quit.

 

Get Your Quitting Mindset On

1. Stop looking for a loophole, that one sugar that you think will allow you to quit sugar and still eat it. It doesn’t exist.

 

2. Stop looking for support in all the wrong places. Don’t follow advice from folks who give bad recommendations for eliminating cravings or tell you cravings never go away. They do.

 

3. Stop whining about sugar! Many people have quit and will quit. If it’s possible in the world, it’s possible for you. You can live without the stuff.

 

Prepare to Quit

4. Choose your quitting day. You’ll need 6 days.

 

5. Stock your kitchen with real protein, healthful fats, vegetables, healthful starches.

 

6. Pre-cut vegetables so they’ll be ready for snacks & meals. Make veggies an easy choice.

 

7. Toss sugary foods. Don’t ‘avoid’ them. They’ll be too easy to reach for when you’re tempted.

 

8. Buy liquid B-complex. [Check with your doctor to see if B-vitamins are okay for you.]

 

9. Drink lots of water before, during and after you quit. And beyond that.

 

10. A few days ahead of your quitting day, start eating meals that include protein, vegetables, healthful starches, and healthful fats.

 

11. Work out as usual, but not super-hard.

 

12. On your quitting day, stop eating sugar.

 

13. Take 1 spoonful of liquid B-complex when you have a sugar craving.

 

14. Keep eating meals as in #10 above while you’re quitting.
