How To Avoid Sugar

Sugar. That sweetness that can be lightly dashed  heavily dumped into your everyday meals and beverages. Now I myself have looked into not eating sugar for a period of time and from what I've read it sounds awful yet rewarding. I read that the first couple days you are in a bad mood, usually with headaches or something. But, it it worth it when you feel awesome and healthy and more lively then before.  Sugar is like a drug. It is sweet and relieving at the moment, but it can become a dietary crutch when you feel sad or are just in the mood for something on the sweet side. Now don't get me wrong, I am not saying all sugar is bad! Some sugar is good, like the kind in fruit. Processed sugar is what is going to slowly devour your body, unless you limit yourself. Now if you are in the mood for something sweet, which I am alot, one of the first things I'll reach for is candy or sugary cereal. Which may be all sweet when I eat it but afterwards I feel bloated and my stomach is packed full of sweet processed chemicals. So lets look at a couple of examples of how you can eat the healthy sugar, instead of processed.
Water.  Water is your best friend when it comes to avoiding sugar instead of consuming processed soda or sugary juice, drink water. It helps you to be less bloated is good for your whole body and had 0 calories.
Tea. Now this is a tough one. I love drinking coffee, but the problem with it is that 99% of coffee drinks contain sugary syrup or tons of normal sugar, so why not substitute it with tea. I find that using honey in tea instead of sugar taste delicious and its more healthy than majority of sweeteners.
Fruit. When you are wanting something sweet, why not eat some of nature's candy, fruit. There's literally a million options and they are available in most grocery stores.
Chocolate. Chocolate, or the best known food to mankind is not usually good for you when you buy it at Walmart in a Hershey's bar, loaded with processed sugar. Instead try dark chocolate or try to find chocolate with less sugar in it, because although it may seem harmless the calories will add up over time.
Substituting, processed sugar with natural sweets will not only help you lose weight, be healthier, and more fit. It will let you continue to eat sweet stuff as much as you want as long as its a healthy sugar in fruit. So it's not like a crazy diet where you can only eat sugar free food, you just have to decide to eat food with natural sugar and your body will be thanking you sooner or later.
