I've gave up added sugar for around 3 months, cut out chocolate and sweets...

got a box of chocolates for my bday and it was weird, I didn't actually enjoy eating them and didn't even finish them. My tastebuds no longer really liked sugar and they just tasted weird, thought it was a bit strange

I occasionaly have the odd chocolate and ice cream now and again but otherwise I really don't have added sugars, not in tea or coffee, etc.

It's actually bad stuff when eaten in excess: http://www.forbes.com/sites/alicegwa...ng-our-hearts/

I've given up sugar recently, Tea & Coffee taste strange without it, but getting used to it.

I'm diabetic, so I don't have any choice.

I don't really have a sweet tooth so my sugar (at least sucrose sugar) intake is very low. I've had a bag of sugar in my kitchen cupboard for ages which only comes out when I have visitors. I haven't had it in my own tea and coffee since I left home at 18 and was too poor to buy it.

The only time I might buy any sweets is if I'm on a long drive and feel like an energy boost and the only time I eat desert is when I'm out for a fancy meal.

I eat good quality dark chocolate every day, and that's generally all the added sugar I have on a regular basis. Life is too short to deprive myself of something so delicious.

I am with you on that one. Always dark chocolate and it is the only sweet thing I eat. My taste is savoury.

The only thing I put sugar on is porridge

I used to have it in coffee but the thought of that horrifies me now........

Once you give it up you can taste the added sugar in lots of things.
