re: Anyone else doing a no sugar, no grains and/or keto diet?

Can definitely find articles showing both ways.

I will take a naturally occurring food over a processed one any day of the week. Much rather that chance, in this situation.

Besides that:
Estimated fructose amounts in the following items:
Soda: 35g
Apple: 12g
Banana: 7g
1 tbsp. Honey: 7g


Fructose has been linked to cancer. Like I said, I will take my chances with the naturally occurring foods

I don't understand the appeal of these "diets". Make a sustainable well balanced diet and form good habits. You can lose all the weight in the world but until you have created a sustainable new lifestyle you will just live in periods of momentary fat loss

I have. I hate it. Even long term. Something just doesn't taste right. I actually prefer Splenda to sugar.

I use stevia in the raw, but I agree. Something about splenda is just better. I still sneak a pack every now and then.

Coconut milk. I get it down, but I can't say I enjoy it all that much.

I don't adhere to zero sugar, but I do eat a low-sugar diet. I typically keep my sugar intake to <30g/day. Other than that I eat a high-protein, moderate carb and fat diet. 40% protein/30% carb/30% fat.

Pretty easy diet, honestly. Flexible dieting.

The true enemy is sugar and processed carbs. Most (not all) of my carbs come in the form of tubers, winter squashes, and lentils. Most naturally-occurring carbohydrates and sugars (re: fruits) also have fiber, which will slow down the absorption rate...particularly raspberries and blackberries. It's still not a good idea to eat a ton of fruits, but a moderate amount of fruit can be beneficial. For example, a couple of servings of raspberries gives you more fiber than sugar, plus all of the other antioxidants and vitamins that they offer.

Processed carbs, like white bread,break down so fast and offer such little fiber, you may as well be drinking a soda.

I also am not afraid of 'fake sugar', like stevia and erythritol. Those things may very well be bad for me, but right now there's not much good research indicating so.

I drink mine with stevia or Splenda

Sometimes I'll throw in some almond/coconut milk. It gets the job done
