Sugar doesn’t love you back.

Hate to tell you this but sugar doesn’t love you back.

It just wants your energy, your joints, and your mood.

And you keep giving them away. One dessert at a time.

That afternoon crash? Sugar took your energy.

Those aching knees? Sugar’s inflaming your joints.

That brain fog and irritability? Sugar’s messing with your head.

But you keep going back. Because it tastes good for five minutes.

I gave up sugar when I reversed my Type 2 diabetes at 55.

Not because I’m disciplined. Because I got tired of feeling like garbage.

Tired of the crashes. The cravings. The constant ups and downs.

Cut it out. And my body finally stabilized.

Lost 100 pounds. Energy came back. The inflammation in my joints disappeared.

All because I stopped letting dessert run my life.

Sugar isn’t food. It’s a drug that’s been normalized.

And the food industry knows it. They put it in everything because it keeps you coming back.

Bread. Sauce. Salad dressing. It’s everywhere.

Making you crave more. Making you sick. Making them rich.

Your body doesn’t need it. It never did.

You just think you do because you’ve been hooked since childhood.

But here’s the truth: Three days without it and the cravings start to fade.

Two weeks and you realize you don’t actually want it anymore.

Your energy stabilizes. Your mood evens out. Your joints stop screaming.

All because you stopped feeding the addiction.

I’m 72 now. I don’t miss sugar. Not even a little.

Because feeling good every day beats tasting good for five minutes.

Stop letting sugar be the boss of you.

So here’s my question: How much of your health are you trading for something that doesn’t even satisfy you an hour later?
