You are so right about fruit juice theFIREstarter, it is very sugary. I rarely drink it, but very ocassionally I drink orange juice diluted with fizzy water…

Good list of stuff to avoid. Don't forget fruit juice, it's an obvious one as it's so sweet but most people automatically think it's healthy when in reality it's laced with sugar!

I can vouch for the less tired and more energy aspect. It really makes a big difference, even if you only cut down on the sugar and about the processed crap. I still eat fruit, dried fruit and give in to the occasional cake. Oh and a few refined or wholemeal grains as well. Just cutting out cakes sweets and crisps will put you ahead of 95% of people

I have cut out dried fruit altogether (for the time being) and I'm pretty anti artificial sweeteners. They aren't good for you and they keep your sweet tooth going, which means that you are still likely to get cravings for the sweet stuff.

That's very interesting. I am trying to cut down on sugar. Have you cut out dried fruit altogether? Also, what do you think of artificial sweeteners?
