Cutting off my sugar intake in my daily meals and drinks.

I used to think I couldn't live without sugar — until recently, when I received my blood test results. Everything else looked fine, except for my HbA1c, which came back at 5.9% — putting me in the prediabetic range.

That was a wake-up call.

So, I started googling for meal plans that would help me completely eliminate white rice from my meals. It’s now been 33 days, and I’ve already noticed some changes — most noticeably, I’ve lost 5kg.

As for drinks, I still enjoy my usual coffee and tea, but now I take them without sugar. It was tough at first — getting used to the bitter taste — but I kept reminding myself of that HbA1c number. That reminder kept me disciplined. I also make sure to drink at least 8 glasses of water a day.

Looking back, what felt like a punishment has now become a habit — and one that’s changing my health for the better.

Corrections

I used to think I couldn't live without sugar, until recently, when I received my blood test results.

I think a comma works better here than a dash

Looking back at it, what felt like a punishment has now become a habit — and one that’s changing my health for the better.

I’d usually say this instead of just “looking back”. That works perfectly fine though!

Feedback

Your English is absolutely amazing, I’d assume you were a native speaker if this wasn’t posted here. Great job!

Of course! And good luck! A tip I can give is to maybe not use dashes as much as you do. While they’re fine, it’s just seems a bit unnatural, and things like commas or semicolons would work better there

Cutting off my sugar intake in my daily mealsHow I reduced taking sugar in my food and drinks.

Every layman understands the term "reduced"and taking sugar

Trying a new habit is not easy so, trying is better off and sounds genuine.

"Really shocked me" rather than shook. It is a typological error.

Thank you for the kind feedback! I really agree with you — keeping things simple makes writing so much more effective and inclusive. I’m still learning, so I truly appreciate you offering to help with future write-ups. That means a lot.

You could also say "Cutting out sugar in" or "Removing sugar from my diet". Your sentence is understandable, but not the most natural way to say it.

Very well written! I think you use more dashes than native writers. For example 'I used to think I couldn't live without sugar — until recently, when I received my blood test results.' could turn into "Until recently, I thought I couldn't live without sugar. This changed when I received my blood test results." There's nothing wrong with your sentence so I didn't correct it, but the repeated use of dashes feels a bit unnatural. Great job though, it's very easy to understand with no obvious mistakes.

Thanks a lot for the feedback! Yeah, I do use dashes a bit too much — I’ll keep that in mind. Really appreciate you pointing that out, and I’m glad it was still clear to read!
