Of course !! :P
I basically stopped the diet a year ago when we went to the UK and France and never got serious about it again. I seem to always have a trip somewhere that I want to take advantage of. So, I was glad for the thing happening at work to underline my determination to get serious about it again. I actually make desserts using dextrose ( fructose is the bad sugar ), and I allow myself some chocolate once a week. But, it is a test of my will when a whole new swathe of Tim Tam flavours arrive, AND there's a couple of cake shops locally that I'm proud to say I've tasted everything once, so when they get new stuff in, that's hard, too.

Really! Quit sugar!
I am trying to get rid of beer belly. I am vegetarian so all I did was, stop reduce eating potatoes and oily food. I also walk for about 4 KM every morning, do some crunches(that ab exercise) and play badminton in evening. No visual improvement for others but I can now see the big toenail while standing straight and looking down.
I can't quite sugar. I need it for tea in morning. Not after that at all.

The idea is that sugar is addictive. It messes up your ability to tell when you've eaten enough. I lost weight because I eat a lot less when I pay attention to my appetite, and the theory is that no sugar helps me do that.
I will admit, I love coffee with no sugar now, but I just stopped drinking tea, without sugar it is noxious. The other alternative, is dextrose ( because fructose is the problem ), or stevia.

Probably. I think I can handle 2 spoons of sugar a day.
I did ate a lot without really feeling hungry and it was not planned as well. I now, stick to schedule and eat only at specified times. No more 750 ml ice cream at midnight for me. I miss that.

And what about all the sugar in the other foods you eat? Bread, milk, fruit, etc. If you read the labels on most foods you will be astounded.
Ps. "Low fat" is code for "High Sugar"

No bread, lots of milk, some fruit. Need to check the contents from now. Oh and candies. I love it.

I just quit coffee because I started to feel the impact on my heart, however I drink green tea and butter blended with a stick blender which is quite good. Adding a little cinnamon also helps with the sweetness without adding sugar, and yes I've seen reports that fructose can be as bad for your liver as alcohol.

Given that all this weight-watchery stuff is measured in calories, one of the most fattening substances we eat is iron, because it burns at immense temperatures.
Either that, or the people running the show are just mouthy idiots, as usual.

If you run you can eat everything. That's why I'm starting to regain the lost weight, now.

Sugar is, at the very least, empty calories, i.e. it gives you energy and doesn't fill you up at all. There's a certain amount of evidence that suggests it's also addictive and messes with your appetite mechanism even beyond that, though I don't think that is a settled question yet. But just adding calories for no value will make you fatter than eating the same stuff and not the sugar, for sure.
I stay away from processed crap food which has the nice side effect of keeping my fat, sugar and salt intake low, and despite eating quite a bit including a lot of carbs I don't have any weight issues.
Exercise is still good for you, though, independently of the fat question. Being fit and fat is arguably better than sedentary and thin, as well as being fun (it releases endorphins so it is physiologically 'fun').

Yeah, but the point is, without the sugar, I don't crave food, I eat very little and feel full.

Oh, absolutely. It's part of the health question, just not really a great help to the weight loss question unless you stay hungry.
