Plus does they mean no fruit either ? Of you want to do a no sugar diet ? Thank you so much goodbye.

Answer
Hi Chris , this is a pretty typical question and one of the easiest to fix.

First, sweet tooths simply come down to improper macro nutrient consumption. (Eating the wrong foods, usually not enough protein or fiber and too many processed foods and crappy carbs )

Second, if you go on a "low carb" diet, what happens after you lose your weight? What I'm saying is DON'T DIET especially low carb diets which cut out entire food groups necessary for proper body function, mess up body chemistry and cause worse cravings in the end.  Yes, they work to "lose weight" but, then what?  

Third, low carb is all relative . Most "diets" you will find online like sparkpeople or myfitnesspal or weight watchers  only give you about 16% of your calories from protein (which is bad for a lot of reasons) because they are predicated on the old, outdated RDAs for healthy males who do not want to produce any changes in their body (gain muscle, lose fat) . We use NASM guidelines and give our clients food plans roughly 25- 30% protein which is "high" but still within healthy and acceptable ranges according to the AHA.

All of that having been said, here are some articles which will give you all of the information you need to blast your sugar cravings, create a balanced food plan that will give have you at your goals before you know it and, in general help you get to your goal and STAY THERE.
