  • wester  on  April 10, 2014

    Well, I've already quit sugar, but I sometimes have some creme fraiche with sweeteners for breakfast or dessert. So that's the thing I would quit if I had to really take out all things sweet.

  • Elnara  on  April 10, 2014

    mmmm caramel, which i guess is basically 100% sugar. LOL Mmmm fudge.

  • Suirauqa  on  April 10, 2014

    I would really struggle cutting any sugar out of my diet, but the worst one would be Chocolate.

    I really do have a problem with sugar & would love to win this book to give me the strength to do it

  • decklededges  on  April 10, 2014

  • RickPearson54  on  April 10, 2014

    Dark chocolate truffles.

  • Kdmccul  on  April 10, 2014

  • Taxlady  on  April 10, 2014

    Gummi bears. sigh…….

  • littleums  on  April 10, 2014

    I would say fruit would be the toughest sweet for me to eliminate completely. I am pretty sure that Sarah says it's okay to eat the low fructose fruits, but I'm not sure what she thinks regarding the higher fructose ones.

  • boardingace  on  April 10, 2014

    Ice cream or chocolate

  • smccandless  on  April 10, 2014

    I have a big sweet tooth and enjoy my desserts. So all desserts, cookies the most though.

  • rahiscock  on  April 10, 2014

    Chocolate and oat cookies. And brownies. And chocolate cake. And chocolate mousse. And chocolate ice cream. And chocolate muffins. And chocolate dipped strawberries. I think there is a theme here.

  • mjrr  on  April 10, 2014

    Bendicks Bittermints. And fresh fruit. But the Bittermints…. now that would be really tough…

  • WandaFrederick  on  April 10, 2014

    Merengues. Sweet, crunchy, melt in your mouth delicious.

  • sailor  on  April 10, 2014

    eton mess

    Chocolate, cookies, ice cream, pie, cake… You get the idea.

  • Kathymelb  on  April 11, 2014

    Lindt Macarons – finished cancer treatment today. I would treat myself a chocolate macaron after each Chemo session, it helped!

  • paulabucharles  on  April 11, 2014

    whatever sweet-sour pastry it's very hard for me to give up! 🙁

  • GillB  on  April 11, 2014

    Any kind of chocolate

  • ballen  on  April 11, 2014

    Definitely ice cream but dark chocolate is a very close second.

  • sgump  on  April 11, 2014

    Yes, ice cream. . . .

  • pgarcia  on  April 11, 2014

    Peeps!

  • slimmer  on  April 12, 2014

    Fortunately, I don't have much of a sweet tooth as far as desserts are concerned. But fruit … some nutritionists consider them "sugar bombs," but I agree with the author that the other nutrients and fiber compensate for the sugar. I can't believe a healthy diet would eliminate fruit!

  • vickster  on  April 12, 2014

    Homemade cookies

  • matag  on  April 12, 2014

    Danish

    Jam!

  • Annegreen  on  April 12, 2014

    Chocolate, because after it's not just a sweet, not even just a dessert and it's even more than an indulgence – it's stress relief medication. Otherwise I might have to turn to drugs!

  • Rosesrpink50  on  April 12, 2014

    Chocolate!

  • ldsalyer  on  April 13, 2014

    Brown Sugar is really hard for me, because I generally use natural sweeteners for most things, but it's hard to replace brown sugar in recipes!

  • madamepince  on  April 13, 2014

    Hmmm…Baked sweets — cake, cookies, pie. They're complex in flavor & texture, so there's more to miss!

  • Kirstin_the_Kiwi  on  April 13, 2014

    Werther's Original Butter Candies

  • dineindivatami  on  April 14, 2014

    Chocolate

  • laureljean  on  April 14, 2014

    Cookies

  • centraljersey  on  April 14, 2014

    I've tried, and I always miss baking. And chocolate. So chocolate chip cookies (and dough), a French chocolate yogurt cake, and that's just the start. But I do try to avoid sweets that really aren't worth the calories and sugar.

  • pokarekare  on  April 14, 2014

    Anything with chewy caramel in it!!! But I'm a good girl and try only to eat them when offered – I'm an OP [Other People's] caramel eater!

  • JanScholl  on  April 30, 2014

    I use very little sugar. I don't have a sweet tooth. My husband makes up for it. He eats my share. I tend to substitute other natural sweeteners instead but if a recipe MUST have sugar, it is always free trade organic. I pay more but I won't use grocery store sugar. There are sugar beet farms near me and they are disgusting.

  • susanb  on  April 30, 2014

    Chocolate!

  • SallyT.  on  April 30, 2014

  • Sausagetarian  on  April 30, 2014

    I love sweet-savory sauces like Mae Ploy, ketchup, and chutneys. I also love jams paired with cheese or nut butters. So it's not actually the straight-up desserts I would miss the most.

  • Flowerbelle  on  April 30, 2014

    chocolate mousse

  • nyc888nyc  on  April 30, 2014

    Growing up I am actually not a -sweet tooth- person. But unfortunately in my late fifty stage I just love sweets – oatsmeal breakfast, cookies, pastries and cakes which are NOT ALLOWED in my healthy diet. This is very difficult!

  • MelKettle  on  April 30, 2014

    While I'm grateful I don't have a sweet tooth, I do love chutney, fig paste and other sweet-savoury delights that go oh-so-well with cheese. Not sure if I could give that up…

  • Alstewed  on  April 30, 2014
