5 days of walking everywhere, no subways, no cabs, no uber
If you watch her 5 days of (something about being on a budget. A certain amount of money for the week) you'll see how she had to adjust in terms of transportation. :)
Morgan Hill i do this everyday lol
Morgan Hill impossible for me,I live in Jakarta and if I walk I might get hit by a motorcycle or a car
TypicalGuen XD omg 😂😂
TypicalGuen XD everywhere in Indonesia to be exact
I went without sugar for like 1 month. Lost like 12 pounds and cleared all my acne. However, my doctor did tell me that I needed to start eating a little sugar because I was kind of also cutting out other important nutrients. So now, occasionally, I eat some sugar but not like I used to and have never felt better! Basically the only sugar I eat regularly is fruit.
+Belen Morales happy to hear that you feel better , so what do you eat in a day ?
Maybe you stopped eating fruits? Because you can eat fruits and honey (natural honey!) processed sugar isn't necessary, that is a myth, you can get energy out of other types of sugar/ carbohydrates
oh wow that's awesome! did you have a regular exercise regime with the diet? just curious :)
What foods did u eat during that month?
I actually tried being a vegan after that episode, and I've been a full on vegan ever since. Best thing I ever did!
wow way to go!!
+the.second.sunrise That's sarcasm right? It has been posted an hour ago Hahaha!
+Maddy Lines She means she has been vegan ever since the 5 days of being vegan video, not this one.
Oh crap, I'm sorry... I was expecting another weird internet troll person, not someone with an absurd amount of dedication.
+Eva Parks THAT IS AMAZING EVA! So proud of you!
I'm binge watching her
+Stefely R cool I love her
Me right now
PHAN TRASH N.O1 same

I'd like to see an update video that talks about any lasting habits that have formed from your previous videos - are you still sleeping more, budgeting, still minimizing, etc. What stuck with you and what didn't?
Lucie is gonna end up a super human with all she learns in these 5 day challenges ☺️
But it seems like she always goes back to what she did before
I definitely take little learnings from my week into the future with me! I don't keep everything up 100% but I'm learning and changing and growing along the way :)
Lucie Fink and that's all that a normal honest person could ask of you! Your honesty is so refreshing. So many people say they appreciate honesty, yet when they get it, they nitpick everything you say! And this comment just makes me think of what Jesus said to the crowd who was about to stone the adulteress! Those witout sin cast thy first stone! I've found sooooo many "doctors", "scientists", "philosophers", "counselors", "cooks", "perfect vegans" "beauty gurus", "writers", "politicians", "singers", "artists" , etc on RUclips while reading the comments section(obviously I'm being sarcastic here). Everyone all of a sudden is an authority on something, or holds a visual Ph.D. On SOMETHING In their mind, and is the guru of SOMETHING on here! No matter what the topic, what the subject matter is at hand in the video and it doesn't even have to be ABOUT the subject IN the video, but the subject of the comment, people will bicker and argue and be the Wikipedia of anything! The sole educator! ! But yet most of these people are downright liars, or are stretching the truth so thin that you can't even remember what the truth is anymore. They judge And pick apart EVERYTHING, yet they aren't in the persons shoes to be able to condemn them! You're doing JUST fine LUCIE!! And I'm in love with this channel now! I've binge watched about fifty freaking videos this week alone of yours! Starting with the bullet journal video, bc that's what led me to finding your channel! I love bullet journaling and I have so many supplies and journals that RUclips And Instagram says are the "essentials"to have for bujoing and planning (and in addition to four journals for bullet journaling, but I also have two happy planners, two target dollar spot self made binder planners, several books for art journaling, junk journaling and about fifteen regular journal notebooks! And I haven't stuck with or started any of them!) For a year I think I had supplied being delivered every day from Amazon prime! And that's not even what I spent at hobby lobby, Michael's, target, Walmart, dollar stores or joann fabrics! And I'm intimidated by all these beautiful, thought out, creative and crafty, perfect hand lettered journals that I bought sticker sets for thanksgiving and Halloween and Xmas for my happy planner and then never got around to use them so that's money down the drain! So I get where your coming from when you say you had a hard time sticking with it on that one! And alot of the challenges you do you couldn't stick with bc they contradict each other! Like the 5 days of living a hygge life style and 5 days without sugar! So there's no way you completely keep the lessons and apply them to everyday life for each video you do. I dont know if people think of that but if they don't, well.. Now they have. I love your videos, they help us and you do the work first so we know, and you take each challenge And learn something or take away something from each one! Great work Lucie!
PS. I'm not trying to be a bish to the original commenter (andrea Marcos), I'm putting my opinion and perspective out there of, don't throw stones when you live in a glass house and that there's no way to keep to every challenge as many contradict previous challenges she's done guys! Have a great day to ALL of you! Have a pizza-ful day! You know.. Peaceful and pizza full!? Lol
more like a super bitch
Andrea Marcos yaaaaaas
I'm at 15 months without sugar. It is amazing. You are not at all exaggerating when you say that sugar is in everything. It is even in spices. And we wonder why Americans are overweight -- sugar is everywhere. Look at this graph to see the staggering stats! We must remove sugar from our diets to improve our health. Thanks for the awareness on this.
YES...I had a friend who went on a no sugar (processed sugar) lifestyle. Within two months, she had lost 25 pounds! It really opened my eyes and I started checking every label of the foods I eat to see how much sugar it contained. After cutting down on my sugar intake, I began to realize just addicted I used to be to it- it was my cigarette to a smoker.
ggdcngvc 15 MONTHS? WOW congratulations that's awesome what do you tend to eat then for breakfast lunch dinner and snacks I would love to start this but it's pretty hard any tips??
I cut out sugar years ago. Obviously not natural sugars like fruits and such, but all processed sugar. You feel much better without it!!
I did this for a month! I decided to give up something every month of 2016 and this was my March :)
What are you planning on doing for the rest of the year
+Bobet Kloosterman So far, there's giving up social media, tv shows and bras left to do. I've already done a lot of the major ones like coffee, swearing, sugar, and other habits so for the months I have left I'm picking things up instead, like breakfast every day (I never have breakfast) or reading daily for an hour (I never read anymore) to fill in the rest of the year :)
+chloe21091 I especially like your reading for an hour daily goal..
Mad respect.
I am "sucrose-free" for 5 months now. I thought about something sweet to eat like every day and then I once accidentaly ordered latte with melted 60% chocolate and it was so sweet I almost throw up. No taste after that. :D
5 days cruelty free
Yes, better would be 'as many days as I will live vegan' 😊👍
+chloedice Yesss!
Extremely hard to do, especially in NYC
very easy to do, ESPECIALLY in NYC! so many vegan spots
E B except you'd have to count her makeup and clothes and all the products she uses. It is very hard/ impossible to go cruelty free
We are going to use the 5 day challenges for the business I work for. 5 days without nicotine, 5 days without vaping, etc. Thanks so much for the inspiration!
+Madison Wilson Amazing to hear!
ahaha
I'm happy you differentiated between good and bad sugars! Because we need the sugars to convert into glucose to actually work.
Also, 5 days without saying no?
+Dreamworks By the end of the week she'd be exhausted because people tend to abuse that inability of someone to say no
She usually manages to do the challenges sensibly enough so I reckon she'd do this one too. Also, this is all about trying things she would usually not.
Dreamworks 🙌🏻🙌🏻🙌🏻♥️
how about 5 days of calling one friend we haven't kept in touch with. pretty out of our comfort zones.
that's such a good idea!
What about 5 days of drinking lots of water? 5 days of good deeds?
+crejty coming soooo soon.
Refinery29 Yay!
+Refinery29 Which? Good Deeds?
+Refinery29 I did more water and it just made me really hungry all the time...I feel like I did something wrong!
+Rowan Ellis love your name! :)
5 days of cooking your own food or 5 days of jogging
omg I just thought about comenting that she should tray 5 days of cooking a meal every day/5 days of not eating out!
5 days of uploading try living with lucie
YESSS
+Si Ying Ong Is your username Chinese?
+Alice MSP Yup! im chinese :)
Si Ying Ong Lol, I'm Chinese as well!!
Alice MSP SAME!
5 days of 8 glasses of water per day
You should try this
Stay tuned!!!! This is happening :)
I would be dehydrated like that
+Lucie Fink thank you
+Lucie Fink thank you
5 Days of gratitude
5 days of random acts of kindness
5 days of trying a different occupation (eg. Nurse, garbage man, mcdonalds cashier)
5 days of stress management
5 days of self care
5 days of journaling
5 days of no body shaming
i could go on...
I love the ideas of these videos but I don't like the format. Like, she skipped the entire Monday of this challenge! I wish it were more vlog style instead of her sitting on her bed talking about the day before and inserting some scripted footage. Don't get me wrong, I love me some Lucy Fink, I want to be her best friend....but I do think the format of these challenges needs to be updated.
I think the same.
exactly I think 4 days are to short I would prefiere a 7 days or two week 8 days
Agreed. I started to notice a few weeks ago that Monday was pretty much skipped over. Watching this video I also wonder if she had her regular morning coffee Monday through Wednesday as she only mentioned making the switch on Thursday. I'd hope research for this video was done before the week started rather than how the video is presented. I want to see the struggle at the cocktail bar, declining candy from coworkers, the breakfast she had each morning.
I'd love it if there were some clips of Lucy going about her day (in this case, eating sweets) then her boss walks up and explains the challenge. Lucy would then walk us through her research and the changes.
+Sandy G 323 yeah. I mean I love Lucy! I want to be clear that I'm not hating on her. I just want to see more of her! And I think a vlog style would be really cool.
Agree, I didn't actually see much happen. It would have been nice to have it more vlog style
5 days of no looking in the mirror... and no selfies... no purposefully seeing your reflection. Love you, Lucie!
5 days of journaling! 5 days of volunteering!
+Lindsay Elisabeth GREAT ideas :)
+Lindsay Elisabeth I like these ideas too :^)))
5 days of volunteering got picked! :D
Journaling!!!
Lindsay Elisabeth totaly
Starting my sugar free diet tomorrow! I eat wayyyy too much it really is like crack lol. Pray 4 me! haha
How did it go?
+BelieveXYourself OMG hahaha I totally forgot I made this comment.....I think I failed lmaoo I'm trying to cut it slowly but surely, I've done it before and lost the bloating and looked slimmer. I'll try again in two weeks haha xx
Ce Nonya please don't do that. Sugar is a necessity for the human body and you will feel really fatigued.
The hangover thing is probably partially from sugar. Not really a sugar crash tho. But sugar (and caffeine for the matter) actually makes you more dehydrated because it makes you go to the bathroom more and hangovers are mainly caused by dehydration, but can be stopped by having a glass of water between each drink.
I did five weeks without refined sugar. It worked pretty well! The sense of taste got way better.
5 days of saying yes to everything
I'd love to see a sort of update video on all these 5 Day Challenges - which experiments have actually helped you change some habits? Have you been getting more sleep? Producing less waste? Which habits have actually stuck?!
5 DAYS OF YOGA!!
YES PLEASE
great idea!!!
+priyana nesan was just about to suggest this too!!
It might be of interest to you to know she has a 5 Days of Meditation video. :)
I'm so proud of you!!! Quite frankly, before watching this, my guess was that you wouldn't have done well with this particular 5 day challenge, so, BRAVO! I gave up sugar for the 40 days of Lent this year. That included honey, which has a high glycemic index, and coconut palm sugar, which actually has a low glycemic index and is my usual go to. I didn't use any sugar substitutes, either. (Yuck! Fake sugar is poison! It tastes terrible and makes me feel worse.) No processed food, because there are a lot of hidden sugars in that. I didn't eat out for the most part, because it was easier for me to stick to my regime. I did eat some raw fruits everyday, though. No one can tell me fruit isn't good for me! I need the fiber and the nutrients. It went well. I felt better. Now, I notice how genuinely crappy I feel when I eat refined sugar, how tired and bloated I become. It's a big learning lesson. I definitely can't get away with the bad habits I had when I was 23. The older I get, the more I realize I have to make an effort to live a healthy lifestyle, so my life has both quality and quantity.
5 days of no tv! Not netflix, not youtube, nothing ! Just rediscovering books!
She does have a 5 days without electronics, if I remember correctly.
I thought it was no social media, can't remember either haha
How about 5 days of serving/talking to the homeless in NY? or 5 days of not looking in a mirror?
Yilina Li the mirrors wouldn't work since she could accidently look in glass of something and see herself
Lmao I’ve not looked into a mirror for months
5 days of no-bra!
Would be really interesting and I'd be happy to see how you feel about it!
Love this series.
Hanni Graf that's a great idea
Well I live that life everyday bc I have various health issues, like fibromyalgia (everything hurts everyday. Even your hair seems to hurt on certain days! And many others with this syndrome have concurred with t that.) So I like to be comfortable in any other area that I CAN bc of all the pain and fatigue and memory issues I have! And I have gerd, think acid reflux, so a bra pushing on the area between my breasts for some odd reason makes swallowing and digesting food hard or my gerd act up! So I have went two to three years now of only wearing a bra when I have to leave my house. And bc I have two children, gravity has definitely happened! And bc I don't wear a bra to hold them up, and having temperature issues bc of fibro, I get hot and sweat and there's no air flow to dry you out and sometimes you can't exactly dry them yourself bc you're in public or wherever and the sweat is stuck there between your breasts and the skin underneath and then you get sores underneath. I've even had infected small pimples and cyst like blemishes that never fully heal. . So if you CAN wear a bra and have these issues, wear it. If you don't have kids and they don't sag and you don't have hot flashes that make you sweat something horrible, then by all means you do you! I'm just adding my two cents for us ladies in similar situations.
How about 5 days of chemical free. Cleaning products, hygiene products etc..
but everything is chemicals, you are chemicals..
Actually Sucrose is just a term for a mix of Fructose and Glucose, and out of the two Fructose is actually worse, it's just that artificially sweetened products tend to contain more sugar overall than naturally sweet things.
Thanks for pointing this out, it bothered me that she didn't seem to know this.
5 days of not washing your hair (i almost do it and it is truly healthy)
5 days of no shaving
5 selfcare days
i went more than 5 days without shaving damn😂 if ur single not going out and its bellow 0 c° in your country u go weeks without shaving 😂 but it has cons it actually cleans ur skin !! the hair collects the dead skin which makes ur skin smoother and healthier
so how did you maintain your hair and scalp clean?
+davlor86 baby powder helps keeping sculpt clean if u are not a fan of dry shampoo
i have adviced my friends to use baby powder, as i do, but as they are brunettes, their hairs looked ashy
you have to really rub it if you have dark hair
Did a whole30 last year. that's 30 days of whole foods (real foods). lost 30 pounds 6'0" mail went from 205-175 in that 30 days. I attribute that to no sugar, no dairy (found out I'm lactose intolerant), and no chemicals in my food.
Yay fats, boo sugar!
You are right! I cut down on my sugar and was shocked to see the drastic switch in my body functions. Now, I completely ignore the calorie content and look straight at the ingredients and sugar level- it is way more effective.
this video was such good timing, I'm on about day 6 of my 30 days with no sugar challenge!! Surprisingly, besides having to read labels, it's not too difficult :)
5 days of cruelty free products :)
Love this idea!!
You should try walking 10k steps for 5 days
been there doing that for long...
I think for New Yorkers this would not be a big deal! Most people in NYC already walk a lot.
Monta Lūse ummmmm........ I don't play sport and get get 20k steps a day
I like to do plain oatmeal with almond butter, chia seeds, hemp hearts, ground flaxseed and raw honey. YOU MUST EAT RAW HONEY, not pasteurized honey.
I've spend most of my life very unhealthy. My breaking point was when I hit 230 lbs. First thing I did was cut out sugar and drink more water. Now I go to the gym and pay way more attention to my diet. I've hit my first goal of losing 30 lbs. my next goal is another 30 lbs.
what is the difference between raw honey and pasterurized? im pretty curious!! i had raw honey before and the taste was really weird
t rex someone correct me if I’m wrong, but I believe raw is basically honey from the hive without any changes. Pasteurized is heated, so it takes away all the good nutrients out of the honey. I would google it just to be sure
I'm always challenging myself to go sugar free. As a kid my mother raised me that way so it's easy for me to do. I've done three weeks challenges since July, breaking for holidays or vacations. I've decided to try 30 days of 95-100 % sugar free meals. So far biggest change is an increase in effectiveness during my work outs. Really glad that there are people like you willing to change their life style to make more positive choices. Love your video!
processed sugar is the devil. I gave up sugar for about 7 days, and lost almost 6 pounds. I had to take pictures of the scale. I was kind of shocked. didn't exercise. just no processed food at all.
You've motivated me! I'm going to try a week without added sugars and see what impact it has on my skin. Thanks for the push to go sugar-free!
you are the only reason I watch refinery29
Funny you should mention trying your challenges. You have been my inspiration to try 5 days of ... This week I am doing 5 days of no dating websites and I plan on journaling about it all at the end of each week. Thank you for being such an inspiration. I look forward to your show every week!
'That Sugar Film' -- truly scary! 😱
+That Vegan Metalhead Actually the nature of a ketogenic diet means the person would have very steady energy level and blood sugar. When you eat sugar, bread, pasta, etc your blood sugar spikes, then insulin spikes, the blood sugar crashes and your tired and hungry.
Most extreme endurance athletes have found that a High Fat / Low Carb diet and being Ketogenically adapted gives them an advantage because they can store more energy as fat than as glucose.
People who Carb Load "hit the wall" when their glycogen runs out while a keto athlete can keep going 2 or 3 times longer. Which is why Ultra Marathon runners tend to be keto.
Ketogenic diets are no match in sprints, but for endurance they are superior.
Lucie Fink is the absolute cutest. It's unreal how adorable she is.
5 DAYS OF WEARING HEELS👠👠👠👠👠👠👠
Well done! People don't know white sugar is added to everything - even pasta sauce, ketchup, salad dressing, it's not just "sweets"! Thank you for your videos!
I'm Swedish and my family has always had a rule to not buy food with added sugar.
I absolutely LOVE LOVE LOVE all your videos! This one is my fave because it really helped me a lot in understanding what sugar actually is!
5 days of no Internet/WiFi!!!
hhhhhhhhhhhhh
I love your show! For my New Years resolution in 2013 I did a year of 30 day challenges and it was so much fun. Here are some ideas.
5 days of:
Street Photography
Drawing
Volunteering
Running
Gratitude
Oil Pulling
Creative Writing
Being a tourist in your town
Working at a stand up desk
Going Paleo
Only home cooking
Biking to work
Keep up the good work Lucy!
5 days dairy free!
She does have a 5 Days of eating vegan video
I cut off on sugar around 4 months ago and I must admit it changed my food choices drastically. Now when I fancy something sweet I eat one cube of chocolate and I am done. My body is more avare of the taste and doesn't need more. Plus weight drop. That's a deal breaker when it comes to sugar.
why do I get the vibe she doesn't research anything before doing it, Lucie whyyy
I'm off sugar too!! The change in my health has been pretty big.. I'm more consistently energetic.. No more hyper or devastated moods.. I'm losing weight almost effortlessly and my immune system is getting better! And it's only been a month
Hey Lucy! What about 5 days doing yoga?
Ps..Keep using your mason jar like in your zero waist week (:
Been vegan for two years now, and my health is better than ever! Now I'm trying to eliminate excess sugar and salt from my diet, it's a lot harder than you'd think. I have a big sweet tooth! But it's working well, and I'm used to drinking my tea without sugar now.
5 days is not enough to see the effect. After 30-40 days you will feel like you've been on drugs. After 60 days you will never ever want to go back again.
n2ziastka PREACH SON
Going low carb has definitely improved my health. I had hypoglycemia, chronic sinusitis and fibromyalgia, as well as extreme sleepiness after a meal. My only source of carb now is plenty of vegetables, and the occasional rice.
i reaaaaally want you to try changing your style for 5 days!!
I love the five day challenges because they are a short time, and you feel like you have a friend going through this with you, and all of the challenges so far have been things I've needed to do anyways.
watching this the day after halloween 😂
Watching this on Halloween
This video is so important!
Since I can remember I always have had a sweet tooth, I prefer dessert over food ANYDAY and I have always thought this was just a preference but in fact I was kind of sick. I'm not a diabetic, but my body doesn't process insulin well, so my sugar levels were all over the place and that was the reason I was always craving sugar! Now, thanks to my nutritionist, I have a pretty healthy eating plan and thanks to that the risk of becoming a diabetic was less than a year ago.
The reason I think this is so important is because we are so used to eating anything that is "in front" of use without thinking what cause that to your body, and we are so used to sugar and we think we can't live without it when in fact all the sugar we need it can easily be found in fruits. Of course I occasionally eat a red velvet cup cake or a chocolate bar, but I don´t do it everyday like I used to.
At the end, we need to take care of our bodies, this is the only place we get to live in for the rest of our lives.
5 days organic and unprocessed foods? or 5 Days more culture (i.e. theatre, art galleries etc)
I actually y requested that you did this I'm not sure if you got the idea from me but I'm glad you did it. On occasions I do try your 5 day challenges and they are definitely fun. So glad I came across this RUclips channel.
I haven't had any sugars in 2 weeks. NOT ONE GRAM. I have to get my nutrients by supplements since I can't eat fruits. My thinking is clear and my body feels great. To hell with sugar.
Nelson Arias why can't you eat fruits? What do you eat with 0 grams of sugars?
Alexis McEnroe 2 days after I posted this my legs started to feel weak and I nearly passed out while lying down. So I don't recommend that anyone completely cut out sugar. Anyway, to answer your question; I couldn't eat fruits because they have sugars in them and I have this weird spine condition that makes any inflammatory foods I eat feel like I'm dying.
Alexis McEnroe I lived off of fish and rice only
My family and I went with no sugar for 21 days! Yes, it was hard, but now that it's over I actually wanna go on it again! I felt good after!
What about no salt ?
This has nothing to do with the video but I noticed how good Lucie looks in everything 😂😍
2 years of no sugar 💪💪
Neda Shaibi wow...that's amazing..how did you manage.do give some tips..I have been trying for longtime still fall back to old habits
Im doing this same challenge this week. So far i feel grate! Thank you Refinery29 for healthy challenges like this one.
I really want to try this.
I love this series so much tbh
i watched this video eating jellybeans😂😂
For the past 6 months my husband and I have (nearly) cut out all processed sugar. We do however enjoy a nutrigrain bar in our lunches for work. Besides that we don’t consume any processed sugar.
5 days of running every morning before work!!
way to go girl !
Love the vids. I always find. Entertaining! Keep em' up girl!
maybe you could do 5 days of someone else's diet, where you try to eat 5 days like someone else with a completely diffrent eating pattern:)
Something helpful to know: 1 teaspoon of sugar is 4 grams. American Heart Association recommends daily sugar intake for Men (37.5 grams or 9 teaspoons) and Women (25 grams or 6 teaspoons). Most people would be exceeding their daily recommended intake before the end of breakfast. Something to keep in mind if you're reading labels to try and cut back on sugar.
5 days eating the same food
I’m so glad that instead of just jumping into using sweeteners and sugar free drinks you ACTUALLY cut down on sugar! I want to cut down on sugar but I’m also not touching sweeteners with a 10ft pole, we just don’t really know enough about them yet :p
5 days of selfless deeds like Joey and Phoebe from Friends
Fructose and sucrose is broken down slightly differently in your body, but the thing that matters the most in terms of "natural" sugar is whether or not it comes with fiber. It does in fruit, which mitigates some of the harmful effects.
I actually really enjoy these series of videos you are doing, but... I don't think 5 days is enough to really understand any major life change. I think your videos would have more of an impact if you did a month.
I did the five days of no makeup challenge and I really liked doing because it helped me in so many ways!!
Let's try a 5 days without combing your hair?!
lucky us with curly hair that we already do that :D
I always watch ur videos over and over again! That's how entertaining ur videos are!
5 days of surviving in a desert island lol
davlor86 your comment made my day
Taianaa it'd be interesting to see actually, she should do a show with Bear Grylls on Man vs Wild
I think as i grow older, im starting to cut out processed sugar from my life. I no longer drink frappes from starbucks, instead i start my mornings with tea - no sugar or milk :) So much better i think!
Same but now with salt
good one
I've done this for one month some years ago. First week was okay, but another two, I was totally depleted, physically and psychically, I seemed depressed, I had problems even talking to people and making it through a work day. I think the last week, it's gotten a bit better, but I actually forgot already, I just remember that there was "a change".
Where did they get that gummy worm footage?
Haha I had my camera person film me one day a few months back as I was hanging at my desk!! LOL
Genius hahaha
5 days of reflecting on your previous 5 das experiments and how still impact you.
5 days of reflection and gratitude
what happens after 5 days ?lol)
I had the same epiphany about oatmeal (aka porridge)! I used to have the little sugary devil packets until I realised there's so much sugar in them AND it was cheaper to just buy a pack of oats, heat 'em up with milk and then just spoon on some honey. Much cheaper, much healthier, and only naturally occurring sugars hanging out in there. I keep an eye on my sugar intake nowadays, and I'm always proud of myself for finding snacks I like with naturally occurring sugar rather than processed.
5 days of the military diet
5 days of reading (one book per day)
5 days of fancy meals
5 days of wearing second hand clothes
5 days of visiting new places
Your brain works on sugar so it's not the best idea to cut on natural sugars found in fruits and other natural foods :)
i think she didn't do that, she only cut the "bad" sugar
yup i am currently trying this i got to the 4th day last time i tried it and had to give in currently on my 3rd day of no sugar. It's actually a lot harder then people expect. Thanks for posting this video determined to do it this time
