I'm gonna need some recommendations for fun dark roast coffees, cause I think I'm gonna have to give up my sugary cappuccinos. They are making me sick. What does that mean when somebody gets a bad reaction from sugar? Is it diabetes? I get all sweaty, almost like a fever. Not looking for medical advice. Ha! Just wondering what it's called so I can Google it.
Could just be a sign you’re eating too much sugar. If you have something really high in sugar, it can make your body overproduce insulin, which causes hypoglycaemia.
Oh my! Thanks for the info. I better cool it with the sugar then. I drink 3TB of the cappuccino powder per drink, then the milk substitutes I was using were sweetened too, then sometimes I use honey and flavored creamer. I guess I just overdid it.
I have to overdo it a lot more to feel bad.
Yes. I'm going to try to focus on the flavor of the coffee itself, not the sugary stuff. Maybe I'll even get a grinder and get some fresh coffee beans.
I think you would really enjoy having a grinder and fresh beans. There's nothing better than grinding your own fresh coffee!

, my body is immune to it. 
Yes, if I could just get interested in the flavor of the beans, that could be interesting, and get my mind off the sweet taste.
I wonder if sugar is what is giving me the corpse look in my selfies? It's worth a try.
Honestly, you don’t have to cut out all sugar immediately, or even completely. FWIW I keep any sweet things with added sugar to one, maybe two servings a day, depending on how much sugar they have, and how shit I feel that given day, as sometimes I need a pick-me-up lmao. Keep in mind that fruit doesn’t really count as sugar intake, unless you’re eating excessive amounts of very sweet fruits like berries, or if they’re in juice form.
It's almost easier to wean than go cold turkey anyway. When I tried to give up coffee for Lent one year, it was a disaster and I added it back in within several days. When I wanted to cut caffeine for ttc and being pregnant, I started cutting out my third cup, then mixing decaf with regular coffee grounds at home and slowly upping the ratio while drinking one regular cup at school, and then school closed so I just had my half mix which moved to full decaf and I was able to succeed!
I kind of go to extremes though. It's all or nothing. Super sugary or black. Eliminate the sugar and get it done. That's just me.
~ I use this to replace sugar. No aftertaste. No insulin spike. Not as sweet but mixes well.
That's what I did when I was pregnant and breast feeding, i.e. quit cold turkey. I can't believe I did it because I don't think I could do it now. I went without any coffee for over two years.
Looking back I think weaning like

said would have been easier.Oh heck no! I can't go without my coffee! Just the sugar. I don't like dessert anyway, so I don't know why I got so addicted to those vanilla cappuccinos. I blame Sunoco, because they have the best tasting cheap cappuccino and I got addicted to it.
