A couple of years ago, at 5'9" and 178 lbs, I figured I should lose ten pounds. I cut back on sugar, not only for my weight but because it is really bad for one's long term health. Well, I lost 20 lbs. I've always been slim, and I didn't know I had 20 lbs to lose, but I take it as a good sign. My energy level is as good as ever. The less sugar I eat, the less I crave, and that's a very good thing. Some sugary foods taste bad to me.
I had a meatless diet for about 20 years and during that period, I ate far too much sugar. I've heard it said it is common among vegetarians. Now that I eat meat once again, I find it to be a good sugar-craving killer.
