You people that cut out sugar from your diet, what do you drink? I can't stand drinking straight water. I usually drink sugar-free PowerAid or sugar-free Cascade soda which is sweetened with a chemical called "sucralose" (Splenda). Yes I know that's probably a poison all to itself.
Yah splenda is not good. Artificial sweets are hard to quit. It doesn't have calories but it keeps that sweet tooth craving which isn't so good. I am still struggling with the sweet craving. I have allowed myself one little packet of stevia each day and I think it's making matters worse. I do like water if it's Cold and filtered. Our water here is suppose to be artesian and it takes nasty. I did look up on a website and our water has a lot of toxins allowed. If I don't filter it, I can't drink it.
Most or all sugar substitutes are probably toxic. Unfortunately, American food is deliberately sweetened. It's addictive and many people struggle to shake the addiction. Personally, I drink water. If a fresh lemon is to hand, I squeeze a little juice into the water. I also drink tea without sugar. (I drink black tea with a little milk.) I drink mountain tea (Greek) usually "sketto" (unsweetened) but very occasionally with a little honey.
Many years ago I weened myself off sugar gradually. I don't know if this method is better or easier than "cold turkey". But for certain I no longer crave sugar. I use cinnamon powder as a sweetener on a few things such as buttered toast (spelt bread only) and on traditional sheep's milk yoghurt.
I imagine that it's not easy to avoid junk foods unless you live in the country but please make an effort.
I buy my fresh meat and veg weekly. I cook or blanche everything and freeze small portions. I keep a couple of portions in the 'fridge if I plan to eat them today or tomorrow.
Have you tried flavored water? Or flavored carbonated water? The ones with no calories/no sugar added? I can drink almost a gallon of water a day now that I’ve not relied solely on regular water.

Tea or coffee. Stevia flavored Zevia soda isnt too bad.
Stevia, monk fruit, and allulose are probably the only safe sweteners. (Maaaybe erythritol)
What's wrong with erythritol?
Recent studies with heart issues.
Although i think theres a 80% chance its just a smokescreen for vaccine genocide.

I was addicted to diet Dr. Pepper for 20 years. One day, I just started drinking Smartwater. Nothing but for the last 6 years.

Our neighbor teaches in Africa during the summer, and he said they use very little sugar. The Africans say our food is way too sweet.
BTW, their food is bland, so he has to carry his own spices.
This is Uganda.

Yes I've tried Propel and like it, but I don't think that's what you had in mind.
