I don't eat it. Period. Even with the prednisone. Dairy is my downfall right now. And it's not upsetting my tummy. I crave it with the pred. My bod can't absorb calcium well right now so it CRAVES dairy like it's going out of style. (There is SOME sugar in dairy...but I don't eat any processed or refined sugar. I hardly use sugar substitutes either!)
The only sugar I get is in fruit and in my yogurt and cereal. My cereal has 8g per cup and my yogurt has 8g per serving as well. (The yogurt sugar is from the fruit mostly though). I even cut down my fruit intake to minimize the natural sugar my bod gets.
I can't say for sure if it helps in the losing weight depart....it hasn't helped me....but it helps most ppl!
You can do it Bev! I did it cold turkey--you can too! (Btw, I have "relapses" so if you do too, don't feel bad!)
Let me know how I can help and what your game plan is!
