It's been four days since Ellen started her sugar-free diet, and it's been quite a journey as she adjusts to the change. She made this video to let you know how it's going -- check it out!

It's Day 3 of Ellen's sugar-free diet. Today she and her writer, Kevin, who is also going without sugar, share their experiences with you right here.

It's Day 2 of Ellen's sugar-free diet... she thinks. After her announcement yesterday, she got tons of tweets and e-mails, both good and bad. She read a few today then decided to distract herself with one of the cutest web videos around. Take a look.

Today was Ellen's second day of being sugar-free, and she recorded a video to update everyone on the process. There may be a few short-term side effects, but she's in it for the long haul. You can follow all of Ellen's journey on the Ellen's Life page.

It's official: Ellen has given up sugar. Today she talked about her new decision -- and the list of side effects -- and why it's so important to her. You can learn more and follow Ellen through her sugar-free journey. If you want to join, write in and tell us.

Well, that's it. I've given up sugar. I know it's not going to be easy, but I'm going to try. I already gave up meat and dairy. And when I did, I couldn't believe how much better I felt. So now, with two jobs, I thought I'd better find a way to amp up my energy in a natural way. And I never liked the crashes that sugar caused anyway, so I'm excited to end my dependency.

If it's something that you think you'd like to try, I'd love for you to do it along with me. Don't be scared by all of those side effects I read on the show today; they'll only be temporary. And we're working toward a long-term, healthy goal.

I'll keep you updated as often as I can. I'll also be shooting flip videos of my progress. I'd love to hear how you're doing, too. Just click on the "Sweet But Sugar-Free" button on our site.

Well, I'm ready to eat a sugar-free snack. Please don't tell me there's sugar in éclairs.

We can do this!

Ellen

Ps- If you've already given up sugar and you're ready for the next step, there's a great cleanse in Kathy Freston's book "Quantum Wellness." You should check it out.
