"No Sugar" - Week 2 & Beyond.

[Indefinable]

Does M&M in trail mix count? what about honey roasted peanut butter (freshly ground)? Are those sugar, ok M&M is but it was like 4 M&M in the entire mix.

Still sugar I'm afraid.

I used to eat those small packs of fruit and nuts - thinking it's healthy, but they're not either. The sugar content is high in them.

What about carrot sticks? :-$

[Fakhri]

Alhamdulillah, it's alright. It's already starting to become normal, tbh, Sr @Yas'in - by the kindness of Allah Ta'aalaa.

I think it helped quite a bit that I started with removing all the regular sugar-filled junk foods completely. Alhamdulillah, I've said it before but this initiative by Sr Indefinable has been really helpful and came at a perfect time it seems.

Denying the nafs of it's impulses, even when it comes to Halaal matters like this, it really does help strengthen us in our resolve when it comes to all sorts of other areas, by His Kindness. Alhamdulillah.

you're right, don't they have lower carb content than white potatoes though..

*Shrugs

his main concern was avoiding rice and bread, these are the toughest for a Bengali man

Fakhri can vouch for it


(Husband's so called diet only lasted around two weeks)

Not looked at it extensively but I think sweet have more carbs. But if the quantity is controlled I can't see it being an issue.

Tis the festive season - double dose of sugary treats. Christmas and Mawlid.

Avoid.

Resist.

[MuslimThinker]

Don't take much sugary foods.

I didnt buy oreo recently. Alhamdulilah.

Maybe stevia can help? its an alternative for sugar.

[Ya'sin]

Maybe stevia can help? its an alternative for sugar.

I've read about stevia and the likes being disruptive to fertility and hormones, back in history (sorry, I forgot what time period) women used to use it as contraception or preventative measure to avoid getting pregnant

Someone can correct me

Better to just stick to pure honey or dates, if it's mentioned in the Quran as a healing food then you can't go wrong (in moderation as with everything)


I have brown sugar with tea, I've convinced myself it's better than white even though there there isn't that much difference

now thats interesting. Thanks for sharing.
Its quite the hot stuff in the market where i am actually.
the thing about stevia or avocados or etc, once its in the market, suddenly everyone starts selling them and you see them being advertised often.

and stevia is quite expensive too for such a bottle.
maybe anyone else want to comment on stevia or other alternative sugar.

I've had organic sweetener which is vegetarian but I cant remember the name of it. I've been looking for it again, if I find it I'll let you know insha'Allah
I'm impressed that you guys are still doing this... sugar free thing.
I actively cut down on all sugar and portion sizes and improved my diet generally for the last 2 years and it's worked wonders... feel amazing allhamdulilah. have some basic principles that I stick to and there are no cravings at all
