My wife and I stopped eating foods high in sugar (Ice Cream, Candy, Soda, Cookies, Cake etc) about 4 months back, and although the Ice Cream isle at the grocery store sometimes beckons I just pass it by. I have not really noticed any big differences although we have both lost some weight. We did not try for 100%, and for example I still have a level tea spoon of raw sugar in my morning coffee, but we did eliminate some 90% by my estimate, which I think moderation being the base for a good diet is pretty good going.
