My tryst with sugared coffee......

I suppose no one read this when I posted on fb, but am taking it seriously......yet again! I have often tried and failed to reduce my sugar intake. My sis once told me reducing sugar in coffee/tea is enough as that will drastically bring down our sugar intake. Especially since we eat sweets rarely but coffee/tea regularly, i.e., thrice a day for me.
While in the past I switched to regular sugar (two spoons) in a week or ten days, this time I decided to go the full way and switch to sugar-less coffee......yes SUGARLESS! And life is HELL!
Unlike before am not craving for sweets but for spicy snacks. Also this has made me very irritable. But what is strange is after my first such coffee I can't stand the taste of coffee with sugar!

The above post was written in early 2015 I think. I am pretty sure I switched back to sugared coffee after this. I successfully switched to sugarfree coffee in 2017 (I shared this with my friends on FB and thats how I know for sure!). This is how I eventually switched to sugarless - I visited my husband's cousin. He looked extremely lean and I was shocked to know that he was detected of diabetes! Instead of taking the usual medicine, he decided to completely skip sugar, refined flour and a few other things in his food. He doesn't take any medicine and his sugar is well within control. Not sure if this is what truly impressed me? Or it was just this time I was lucky?! But I did eventually stop taking sugar completely in my coffee and tea. I started in around 22nd October, 2017 and it's almost 3yrs now. I positively hate sugar in my coffee/tea!
