@jesse1354 I've mostly cut out added sugars. I had completely cut out added sugars for a couple of years (save for a small treat on rare occasion, like a birthday), but that was not as sustainable as I started dating someone with kids. I also found that for me, it wasn't the most balanced approach. I don't want to be the person who turns down 50+% of the food at a family holiday dinner, because it doesn't meet macros/isn't "clean" enough (whatever that means anyway, as it's largely a BS concept).
Now? I avoid added sugars in things that really don't need them. I search ingredient lists. Pasta sauce, for example, doesn't need added sugar and shouldn't have it. Chicken sausages, cracker, soups, etc. are all items that do not need, and should not have, added sugar. Check the labels. Anything that ends in "ose" is likely an added sugar.
Past that, I don't typically keep sugared snacks in my home, so if I have a sweet craving, I'm usually reaching for a piece of fruit, or a couple of raisins. If I have something with added/processed sugar in my house, it's a bar of dark chocolate, some decent truffles, or maybe a pint of Ben and Jerry's non-dairy, coffee, caramel, chocolate ice cream. These items, if I have them, are put on a high shelf, out of line of sight, so that I have to actually think about them to reach for them. I don't just open my freezer to get peas for dinner and have ice cream staring at me. I don't open a cabinet to get rice and have chocolate in my eye line.
When I do want a treat, I take my portion, and immediately put the rest back.
At restaurants, if there's a dessert I really want, I order it.
At my boyfriend's if I have a treat, it's the same as it is at my house. I avoid the other stuff in the house partially because I'm allergic to some of it, and partially because it isn't mine. Those treats are there for the kids. Would anyone be mad if I had a cookie or piece of their chocolate? No. That said, taking something that isn't yours is wrong, so I don't do it. Also, if we eat the stuff we buy them for dessert/ treat snacks, than we just have to go out and get more, which is annoying. We also tend to get the things that they like, but we're not wild about as a further deterrent.
Edit: I am seriously not sure why this is getting down voted. The fact that it is is ridiculous. Whatever. Sometimes, people are ridiculous.
Another edit: I've switched to raisins now, but when I made nutrition tweaks leading up to my last meet, I was actually using gummy candy as my workout carbs, because my nutrition called for fast sugar, and that was the easiest option of the choices given. I balked at first, but it had a purpose.
