I wrote a short e book it goes like this:
Don't eat processed Suger.
Get your sugars from other sources like fruit or honey.
Have a smoothie for lunch to satiate your hunger.
Keep not eating processed sugar.
The end.

I don't like this advice when we're talking about sugar addiction. Honey and fruit gives a sugar addict the same sensation as eating candy.
People looking to cut sugar but aren't addicts - sure, great advice. Sugar addicts need to avoid sugar completely.
While i can understand where you are coming from i highly disagree. The human body needs sugar. You need to be strong enough to feed your urge in a healthy manner and in moderation. Cutting out processed sugras greatly helps cut the craving.
You literally can be healthy while eating zero sugar and zero carbs. Body needs a bit of glucose but it can make it from protein. And most definitely you don't need shove any fructose to your mouth, that's just useless poison causing fatty liver disease and other problems. The least problematic glucose you can eat is rice and such
Fruit in moderation is probably fine but definitely not juices or smoothies. That's just sugary water not much different from Coke
saying “zero” here is a fallacy since (like stated) you *will* get some carbs and sugar naturally from your food which our body needs to function properly, it sounds like you are confusing processed fructose with what occurs naturally in fruit (which also provide other nutrients & vitamins when eating the actual fruit itself vs just consuming the juice)

Fructose is fructose, safe in small doses, not required for survival.

Sugars are a source of energy humans evolved to take advantage of when the opportunity arose.
They are non essential.
if youre craving sugar it’s probably because your body needs more natural sugar & eating fruit is the way to go
you can’t cut sugar out completely
You absolutely can, there is no such thing as an essential carbohydrate.
not individually but carbs are essential to proper body function, and can be found in virtually all our food
I’m… I’ve gone months without sugar other than naturally occurring in milk. Fruit is for fun, not nutrition.
Just do a month or two of carnivore Ben. Then add in whatever you want to eat.
