In fact, I know because I did this challenge myself years ago! I think I was middle school or maybe high school. I lasted about 3 months and did it for no particular reason. I just wanted to see if I could do it. The rules I abided by was no added sugars or artificial sugars. I happen to not like fruit juice, so I didn't need to worry about that. Might I suggest instead of drinking your fruit, eat it! It will totally satiate your sweet tooth and it's better than drinking all that sugar. Though I did this challenge well over 10 years ago, I still benefit from it. I don't crave sugar anymore. Seriously. I used to have a killer sweet tooth. It's crazy. I commend you for doing this. Keep up the good work! I agree with Bruce, but I know it’s hard. In fact, I know because I did this challenge myself years ago! I think I was middle school or maybe high school.

Try to keep that insulin from spiking and you'll lose fat a lot faster. It's not just about processed sugar, but all sugar (and things that convert QUICKLY to sugar). Awesome challenge though. Good luck! You should cut the lemonade and fruit juice too. They both have a lot of sugar (fructose is particularly bad). Try to keep that insulin from spiking and you’ll lose fat a lot faster.
