My only sugar is through fruit. My Papa is a pre-diabetic, and for several years now I have only on very rare occasions consumed processed sugar. Yes, I'll indulge, like even tonight I had an ice cream bar (speak of the devil), or occasionally I'll treat myself to a sugary coffee, but 99% of the time my only sugar comes through fruit. I even refuse sugary cocktails. I am a big time margarita lover, but I only drink Baja Bob's mix which has no sugar but is the most authentic tasting margarita mix you can get at the store. It's like drinking a real authentic margarita minus the sugar and calories. Other than that I'll have a brandy and zero sugar soda mix or wine or beer that has no sugar.
I've also drastically reduced my alcohol intake. I used to have a serious alcohol problem but now I limit myself to two glasses of wine. Sometimes I have a little more or a little less...And I've cut back so much that I can't tolerate hard alcohol any longer. And for a few months now I haven't had any weed, which when I smoke I get hardcore munchies, so that's cut out excessive eating by non smoking.
