Try for natural sugar rather than added sugars.

But I mean it all has sugar. Even carrots. There's sugar in those. It's impossible.

sugar isnt bad. your body breaks down ALL carbs into sugar so you probably technically consume way more sugar than u even realize on a daily basis

the issue is spiking blood sugar (high glycemic index foods), which is avoided if u use more complex carbs which are harder to break down to sugar like brown rice, 100% whole wheat bread, etc. avoid too much juice as its just pure concentrated sugar with no nutrients. cereal can be ok depending..

eat yogart, sardines, etc

The point is to avoid refined and added sugar and carbohydrates while being conscious and limiting starchy foods. A few carrots and sweet potatoes won’t hurt you.

Too bad, because good things take effort. You are not entitled to an easy AND good life, you have to choose one or the other

The sugar in carrots is far from being "bad" from your health like refined sugar, and they are there in less quantity too

Why would you want to?

[Anonymous No.11856189]

Because too much sugar in a person's diet has been liked to several cancers and mental illnesses.

Easy. Stop buying processed foods and cook from scratch, and don't choose recipes which call for a lot of sugar.

Maybe don't eat too much of it then? The same applies to alcohol, water and orange juice as much as it applies to cane or beet sugar.

Too much of anything is bad. It's easier to focus on cutting down than trying to cut out.
Try to make the brunt of your sugar intake through fruit for a start. If you have to chomp through apples and oranges to get it you won't eat as much.

It's easy to cut out added sugar... in hindsight. It is very difficult when you are actually doing it but stick with it.

No desserts or candy, straight up.

Read the labels on all drinks that aren't water. Certain things might surprise you with how much sugar they have. Don't even think about soda or fruit juice.

Fruits and veggies are fine because of the way your body will digest the sugars considering all of the fiber and such. As mentioned above, juicing is bad because it means you are throwing out all the good stuff and get a direct hit of sugars, making it no better than soda.

Read labels on premade food well. They put HFCS in everything all the time. It's an easy way for corporations to increase flavor on the cheap. Meaning that a premade granola bar can be okay, but you need to make damn sure because some of them are pretty much candy.

Fruit juice is fine if you make it is freshly squeezed instead of out of a box. Eating the fruit itself still healthier

Stevia, which in proper iterations is only sweet.
