are you sugar free? that's so cool i'm interested in going added sugar free because i think it'll benefit some health issues but it feels like a big task and i'm not sure how to start so reading your post was really interesting! i hope you're well :-)

hi! i went mostly-added sugar free this year due to insulin resistance issues: basically, my cells don't metabolize sugars the way they should due to a genetic disorder. if you have something similar going on, i really recommend talking to a dietician or nutritionist, if it is at all geographically / monetarily possible, because talking to someone who could explain to me my specific needs based on my medical stuff and what to watch out for was extremely helpful. if not, then researching into more scientific sources on the specific medical issue you are considering a diet modification for could prove a good direction! i google nutrition facts of random things because my medical situation is so closely tied to glycemic index and diabetic stuff, so personally for me it can be very helpful.

i live in europe so i can only recommend brands from around me if you are interested in that, or like specific sweets places from budapest, hungary specifically, lmao. if you are interested in replacing sugar for teas and coffees or cooking and baking, i can talk about what i've been using, and my successes or failures with them.

#vesselage #asks #anon #thank you so much for reaching out!#i have so much to say about my medically prescribed low carb diet that i almost never get the opportunity to speak on #doggy dog world for guys like me & diabetics out there #sf stuff can run so expensive! but luckily ive found these days most places carry stuff you can eat even on such carb restrictions #also a lot of health and gym bro websites will make shit up and lie about the sweeteners in their products #and their glycemic index and such #because all the average bodybuilder consumer will see is wow! low glycemic index syrup! so healthy for you!#but whether it spikes their blood sugar or not #really doesnt matter for them in the long run if they dont also happen to have insulin problems #so i usually just dont buy stuff with sweeteners im not familiar with and save my questions for a consult with my specialist...#oh also if you do want to get into watching sugars always read the backs of every package.#they have added sugar in everything so its not worth it to sweat it too much #especially if its a little bit in like pasta sauce or something.#the vegetables and other slower carbs youre eating it with makes it so its not the same as eating a bag or sour patch kids or smth #anyway novel in the tags. yeah thats uncle lucas' lowsugarbaby guide (intro)#and yes being always 100% sugar free is LITERALLY IMPOSSIBLE so you dont have to be intimidated anon #exploring the limited options still can be tons of fun!
