The forthright Laurence Brown<\/a>\u00a0of\u00a0Lost in the Pond<\/a> quite humorously shared his journey of quitting added sugar for nearly four years, despite a long-term addiction to sweets.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve not eaten sugar for 3 years and 9 months \u2026when I say sugar, I mean added sugar as opposed to sugar that\u2019s found naturally in fruit because there\u2019s no way I\u2019m giving up apples. And this has not been easy, especially since I live in the little known country of the United States of America.<\/p>\n

Brown also talked about how giving up sugary sweets helped with his health and his weight, although he still had some work to do.<\/p>\n

Because I live in the American Midwest, I was still overdoing it on the cheese and fried foods and cheesy fries and fried cheese. These aret hings that I aimed to tackle next. But in the meantime, giving up sugar resulted in two other things that I\u2019d not anticipated. Firstly, my teeth felt amazing, which is famously rare for a British person. \u2026And secondly, quitting sugar had an immediate effect on a long-standing health issue I\u2019ve been battling since 2017. <\/p>\n

While giving up sugar was a bit part of losing weight, he also added exercise to his daily routine through the adoption of puppies.<\/p>\n

Shortly after the great hardship of 22, my wife and I adopted a puppy. And we ended up liking him so much, we adopted another puppy. \u2026In the last 2 years alone, I\u2019ve done more squats than in the preceding 41. And just as laxatives forced me not to take laxatives, my dogs forced me to embrace a new trendy form of exercise known as walking.<\/p>\n
