Rules for Posting Guides on Our Community

1. Defining a Guide Guides are comprehensive reference materials, how-tos, or comparison tables. A guide must be well-organized both in content and layout. Information should be easily accessible without unnecessary navigation. Guides can include flowcharts, step-by-step instructions, or visual references that compare different elements side by side.

2. Infographic Guidelines Infographics are permitted if they are educational and informative. They should aim to convey complex information visually and clearly. However, infographics that primarily serve as visual essays without structured guidance will be subject to removal.

3. Grey Area Moderators may use discretion when deciding to remove posts. If in doubt, message us or use downvotes for content you find inappropriate.

4. Source Attribution If you know the original source of a guide, share it in the comments to credit the creators.

5. Diverse Content To keep our community engaging, avoid saturating the feed with similar topics. Excessive posts on a single topic may be moderated to maintain diversity.

6. Verify in Comments Always check the comments for additional insights or corrections. Moderators rely on community expertise for accuracy.

There is never a better time to quit sugar than now. I lost 20 pounds within a few months when I did it. It is amazing the excess calories we eat without realizing.

I'm not fat, obese or overweight, but sugar is the fucking devil. I have no addictive personality at all, and i don't even like sweets, but atarted to drink energy drinks at almost 40, and i'm absolutely hooked. I quit smoking like it's nothing. Alcohol? Nah. But i'm getting nervous when i can't get my stupid energy drink. I don't need the energy either

Depending on the drink you've probably got a twofold addiction to sugar and also caffeine.

I don't get any kind of withdrawal symptoms from sugar, but if I don't have caffeine I start to get anxiety like that.

You are fighting millions of years of evolution, that's why sugar is so addictive even for people that otherwise don't have an addictive personality.

They have sugar free energy drinks and they are pretty good. Not that anyone needs them.
