Day 10 No Sugar | I Didn’t Expect This To Happen

10 Days Without Sugar: Hidden Sugars, Stress Cravings, and Smarter Sweet Options

MC from Healthy by George shares lessons from day 10 of a 90-day break from processed sugar, describing how challenging it is to miss toast with preserves and afternoon chocolate, especially during the stress of her dog’s eye injury and diagnosis of a superficial corneal ulcer. She explains how the challenge has increased her awareness of how sugar appears in everyday foods—muffins, raisins, breads, yogurts labeled “zero sugar,” tomatoes, and even mayonnaise—and notes she kept her day under 10 grams of sugar while hitting 118 grams of protein. She plans fruit-based alternatives like no-sugar blueberry preserves, more high-fiber fruit, and banana date bread, considers low-sugar ice creams like Rebel and Nick’s, and reflects on sugar’s role in inflammation, energy, and long-term habits.
