Cutting sugar

Any tips for cutting sugar out of your diet? I definitely want to start cutting back on sugar but I know that it’s not best to quit cold turkey. I’m a hypochondriac and worry for my health every day. I’m not the biggest but my sugar intake could be less than what it is and I could definitely stand to lose a few. It’s just so difficult I don’t even know where to start.

I switched from sugar in my coffee to Splenda blend, half sweetener and half sugar. I found that with just sweetener my body still craved “real” sugar because that’s where we get calories.

I also switched to, and learned to like Diet Coke. But I also drink A&W Zero Sugar Root Beer and Canada Dry Zero Sugar Ginger Ale and those two taste like their sugary versions (no kidding).
