also I plan on getting back into hula hooping 😎  

I’ve been gluten free for 8 years and it’s not by choice for me; I would talk to your physician about it and see what they say. What I’m doing now is only eating about 60-75% of my recommended daily calorie intake, I’ve increased my protein by eating things high in protein, I walk anywhere between 6-10 miles every day and doing portion control on special occasions and logging what I’m eating here. I’ve been on here now 2 months and in that time I’ve lost 33lbs by just tracking and doing the above mentioned. 

Avoid processed foods.  

It's difficult to take away all sugar. I eat mostly unprocessed foods and I know when I crave something sweet, especially chocolate I eat protein. It is supposed to stop the craving. It works most of the time. I also eat carrots when I crave sweets. They are naturally sweet and crunchy so they help with both issues. Other than that, it just takes discipline. Best of luck!🩷 

the more soups i have the less i crave sugar, cuz they are filling and satisfying.. i have binge eating disorder- sugar cravings are hard to quell for me. having mixed nuts help. I add dark chocolate chips to them. substitutions is big. if i want ice cream i snack on mixed nuts first and then will have a smaller portion of ice cream, a tea cup instead of a big soup bowl. fruit is a good substitution also. 

Cut back with added sugars and carbs like cookies and cake (sugar & flour), but keep natural sugars and carbs, like fruit. Avoid processed foods. 

hula hooping sounds like a great and fun idea 💪🙌 

Thankyou everyone for your responses. I discovered yesterday that no sugar is almost impossible atleast without the meal plan already set up. But I have to do grocery shopping today so I'll pay more attention to the nutrition labels. I had the worst headache yesterday and usually eating something unhealthy makes it better but I found myself eating a handful of nuts instead and that seemed to help the headache. Id love to get back into walking. I think it may be a while before I'm walking that many miles though. Hula hooping can be a ton of fun especially if there's some music going.
