You can start living sugar-free by shifting the focus of your daily diet to whole, natural, unprocessed foods. Focus on lean meats, fresh vegetables and fruits and complex whole grain products. The less that you eat from a package, can or bottle the better.
You can try some sugar-free products but make sure to read their labels carefully. There is a big difference between a product that contains no sugar, and a low-carbohydrate product.

You will have to experiment with how sensitive your body is to sugar and sugar substitutes. Some people find that after time they are able to use some natural sugars like honey in their food, or even eat packaged foods made with honey.
If you’ve been using sweet treats as a reward for yourself and your family, brainstorm some strategies to reward yourself differently. Pick a “safe” food as a treat, or use a nonfood alternative, like getting a massage, reading a good book or watching a guilty pleasure movie.
Once your palate gets used to sugar-free living, you’ll be surprised by how many flavours that you were missing. Sugar tends to overwhelm your taste buds and when it is gone, you will be able to savour other foods.
