well i haven't noticed a lot of physical benefits yet because i have the january blues/fighting off colds. i have stopped having bad cravings for sugar, though. it took about a week before i stopped having cravings. now i can tell that any sugar i might want is strictly psychological. i found it helps a lot to read blogs/articles/books/movies about how unhealthy sugar and processed foods are because it helps with keeping motivated. i quit for 9 days in december, took a break for christmas, and started up again.... i found that the second time around was MUCH harder for whatever reason. but i knew i could go at least 9 days and wanted to beat that record. it helps to find some naturally sweetened alternatives for when you REALLY want something sweet, so after dinner instead of having a cookie i would eat unsweetened applesauce with cinnamon, or greek yogurt with honey, or unsweetened dried fruit (mango...YUM). stay away from "sugar-free" things because they usually have aspartame or gross chemical sweeteners which in my opinion

the key to not eating the sweets when you work around them is DO NOT EVEN LET YOURSELF HAVE A LITTLE LICK. it seems harder the first couple of days, but i found that helped A LOT. when i quit in december i was still cheating a tiny bit with itty bitty crumbs, but i think that actually made it harder. this time, i have literally not put any tiny bit of baked good or icing in my mouth, even to lick my fingers, and i think that's how i have been able to beat the cravings. it helped me to realize at work, that most of the time i thought i was craving sugar, i was really just thirsty or hungry. luckily for me, since we are also a coffee house, we have a million hot teas that i could drink whenever i thought i wanted something to eat
