I gave up sugar in coffee two months ago. I was a main reason why I wasn't losing anything as I was hitting the gym alot. It was torture for a couple of weeks but now I wouldn't have coffee with sugar. A friend of mine who is a fitness freak told me to write down everything I eat in a day and why. When I was hitting the fridge at 11pm at night, I had no reason only boredom for eating. I don't agree with diets as such as you will always revert to type. It's better doing something you will be able to do to fit into your lifestyle. Cutting out little things and building on that. After 6 weeks you notice the difference. Best of luck.
