I did something similar during my semester in France. Stopped eating all bread and processed carbs. Vegetables, fruit and meat plus Greek yogurt. I didn't cut out alcohol though, nor was my weight loss as drastic as yours.

Lost about thirty pounds over four months (which was terrific, my girlfriend of four years dumped me the night I flew home so at least I was ready for singles' life).

I won't go so far as to call sugar "toxic" but I know that cutting it out has made me much, much healthier.

Also, I had a blood test a few weeks ago. My doctor actually wrote "outstanding" on my cholesterol report.

You stopped eating bread while in France?

I was really fat.
