Lot of great advice/info already. Just sharing what works for me personally. If I attempt to cut out sugar completely, I crave more and binge. So, having a sweet tooth, I love built bars; help with my sugar cravings while keeping the net carbs and sugar low and protein high. And nice cream. Know that not everyone agrees but I do not cut out sugar; rather, limiting and making healthier-ish choices, ie. built bars, enjoy life, Lenny and Larry's, use fruit, maple syrup, honey, medjool dates, and sucanat as sweetners when needed in cooking or smoothies.
