FabSwingers.com forum: Do you take sugar with that?

I went to make myself a coffee and almost added sugar. I do love sugar in my coffee.

Instead I opted for sweetners!

I gave up sugar ages ago but I could so easily give up giving up.

Do you take sugar in your drinks or avoid sugar as much as possible?

What else have you given up that you really enjoy?

Or do you do you just think sod it...I like and I'm going to have it?

I have honey, when possible, in my tea... Occasionally it will be sugar but never sweetners, I avoid those more than I avoid sugar and that's as much as possible

I think I drink so much coffee that I'm desensitised to the caffeine.

Does it affect you really badly?

I've never liked sweeteners until I tried silver spoon sweeteners. If I can't have them then I just have sugarless coffee.

I've tried honey in my coffee but I didn't get on with it.

No sugar or milk in my coffee.

I stopped sugar and most fizzy drinks as well years ago after having internal bleeding due to excess acid in my stomach.

I hate sugar in hot drinks, but I do have a massive sweet tooth. I've given up sugar several times and I always feel so much better for it. More energy, less anxiety, no more brain fog, and I lose weight. Then someone will have a birthday, I see the cake, I eat the cake, then I'm back to daily mini binges of sugary deliciousness.

I don't think I could manage black coffee.

Still...needs must I suppose. Your stomache problem sounds like it was pretty bad!

That's interesting...the brain fog! I've never heard of sugar having such an affect!

It is so easy to slip back into old ways. I fight that struggle daily

I drink a lot of tea but I don't have sugar in tea. I just have a spoonful every now and then to help the medicine go down.

Sweetners are worse for you than sugar, that's why I try and avoid them, aswell as my mum having some kind of alergy, of sorts, to them and I can always taste them n I hate it... Sugarless syrup ruined a Starbucks for me, I actually couldn't drink it

If I'm out and about I'll always have a flat white, no sugar and enjoy it. But at home I struggle with the temptress that is sugar.

I really should drink more water.

I don't add sugar to any drinks. I do have sugar for when friends who like sugar in their drinks visit.

A friend is a beekeeper regularly gives me jars of honey. I add that to porridge and to a hot toddy.

Desensitized?

Yes, it does. Awful head pains, like cluster migraines. Vomiting. Inability to see out of one eye. It's not caffeine specifically but it can trigger it so... yeah. No sugar bar honey in fresh lemon and ginger tea.

Bloody hell that sounds awful and so not worth risking it.

I have had some really bad migraines, fortunately not caffeine related.

Desensitised, as in coffee doesn't keep me awake if I drink it before bed. I don't get a boost in energy from it.

It tastes great. I love watching the process from making the frames the bees make the honey on, to extracting and jarring the honey, to eating it

Do you remember the strong coffee you could either buy in a jar, or self heating? Rocket Fuel I think it was called. They did make it a milder taste after many years. That could strip paint
