If you're talking about the chemical class of sugars, you may be right. But sugar is also the white stuff you put in your coffee (or maybe don't).
I'm (refined-)sugar-free since May 22nd. Except for the monthly off-day, where I binged until I couldn't down any more of that delicious muffin-nougat-cocoa-shake (blend 1l of cocoa milk with 1 huge brown chocolate muffin and with 100g nougat chocolate).
I think fruit is ok, since there is also fiber in the fruit and vitamins. You actually feel satisfied after an apple. Not after chocolate.
To everyone trying to go sugar free: go on! It's not as bad. After a week I barely wanted to eat sugar any more, and when I have my binge days I have to force myself to eat anything sweet because it's so disgusting now.
And you really lose weight fat. Today I was told again that I lost weight. That's like the 4th time in two weeks :-)
I find it easier to go 100% with the no sugar diet. Like Steve said in his 95% raw vs. 100% article, it's really not a big step down from 95% to 90% to 70% to 10%. If I take the occasional piece off, I fall down all the way. That's why I don't do it - except on the monthly cheat days.
All or nothing, baby!
