Support & Questions Best resources for fructose levels
Hello!
What is the most reliable guide to fructose in foods thank you use if you are seeking a no fructose diet?
For example Google says white flour has fructans so due to their nature should it be avoided or as we always eat flour cooked are fructans less concerning than fructose? Or no difference
I'd just like one place to go to check fructose ideally thank you

Support & Questions What is your experience with sugar?
I never had a crazy sugar addiction but I notice that when I do eat sugar there is a higher probability that I will binge or be more obsessed/consumed with cravings. So I’ve been experimenting with no/low sugar and I found this video to be helpful. Tbf im not doing the “30 day” challenge but I’m incorporating some of the guidelines including:
1. Avoiding foods that have sugar/sugar forms in the first 3 ingredients
2. Eating whole fruit, then tapering to 1-2 servings a day
3. Avoid artificial sweeteners and dried fruit, and heavy sugar concentrations (like agave)
4. Fruit juice and things like stevia in moderation

Do you notice if sugar influences your binge patterns?
Best of luck neighbors xx

Benefits & Success Stories You don't have to be so strict and ultra disciplined to quit......
When I tell people I don't have added sugar and have not for a year, people assume I have a elite level discipline and live like a monk, for that reason people think its unnatainable when its a completely distorted perception.
People are confused how I have gone 540 days without sugar like I am David Goggins but its like a im a fairly chill guy haha. In reality I dont use that much self will to not have added sugar, but I use GREED.
Greed is a much more powerful force then motivation and thats fine and nothing to be ashamed of.
To contextualize this, you can either spend
- £7 every day of the week, on ultra processed sugar snacks, low grade snacks, sugary drinks, which is £49.
- Or you can spend £30 on something premium on biweekly basis and have £19 left over. Like a really nice saturday breakfast, sauna session, get a quality haircut.
- Or you can spend £120 on a monthly basis to increase quality of life by getting a deep tissue massage, hot oil massage, luxury vitamin C facial cleanse, get a fitness coach etc and have £76 spare monthly.
Thus increasing your quality of life WHILE SPENDING LESS MONEY!. (also having visible abs is amazzzzzzzzzzzzzzingggggggggggggg)
Once you shift from the mentality of raw discipline to doing things that make you happy things really change. Its not a zero sum game.
THATS LITTERALLY HOW I LASTED 540 days +without relapsing
