Michelle Asks About OCD and Sugar
Questions
1. Do you use substitutes?
2. Did going sugar free help your OCD?
3. How long after going sugar free did you notice results?
Answers
1. I do not use sugar substitutes. I’ve tried a variety of artificially sweetened foods (including sugar free Oreos) but they do not work for me. Many sugar substitutes are problematic in that they give you gas, make you feel weird, or are associated with negative health risks.
2. Going sugar free helps with OCD, yes. It’s very easy to obsess on sweets and so cutting them out means you remove a large downward-spiraling cyclical pattern from your life. Read this interview with Bill Brenner. He’s written extensively about sugar and OCD.
3. I noticed changes in my mind and body after about three weeks to one month of not eating sweets. It took one whole year before I really started to feel comfortable as a sugar-free person.

About Me
I realized I had a sugar problem back in 2003 after a weekend-long binge on raw chocolate chip cookie dough and chocolate covered pretzels. As a result, I began trying to quit sugar but kept failing. Finally, I figured out a way to stay off sweet junk food for good.
