    Has anyone successfully cut their daily total sugar intake (not just added, but fruit, etc. too) to the recommended 25 grams or less?

        @avantgame I eat less than 5g of sugar a day. Also virtually no starches. Paleo diet sans fruit will get you there. #sugarfree

        @DrLaserfalcon Paleo sounds right except I'm a vegan so that makes it really hard :)

        @avantgame Tried the sugar-free vegan thing for 3 wks. Lost 15 lbs. Have since kept on weight via nut butter + avocados. High fat/low sugar.

        @avantgame You'll feel great once you get into it. The trick is avoiding corn starch/syrup. It's in everything.

        @DrLaserfalcon I'm good on that! No added sugars (unsweetened soy milk, plain oats, etc.) all whole foods except for dark chocolate :)

        @avantgame Chocolate's good for you. I miss oats but glycemic index is super high. You're a vegan so you can't reasonably give up grains.

        @DrLaserfalcon indeed although I try to limit them -- just the oats in the morning, and bread a couple times a week

        @avantgame Just sugar or is the difference between sucrose, glucose, HFCS, dextrose etc taken into account?

        @GrahamGemmell I'm still trying to figure that out. Fructose is the problem as far as I can tell.

        @avantgame I cut all carbs, not just sugar, to <20g/day. Over the course of a year, I went from 288 to 218. (5'10" guy)
