DH and I have learned that 'zero sugar' really means absolutely nothing.

Ok, so the carbs 'could be' less, and there is 'no sugar added', but ALL carbs turn to sugar when digested.

That is just how the human body functions.

So many folks on these forums don't even know what a carb is either.

For example, I have read posts from folks that say they don't eat carbs, but they eat a lot of veggies & fruits.

Ummmm...

Even the eggs and seafood DH and I eat have carbs...but they are minimal. For example, eggs have about 1 carb each...

I keep my daily carb count to less than 10 most days. My carbs 'might' get to around 20 on days I'll have scallops. However, 95-98% of the time my carb count is zero most days. I don't eat eggs or seafood every day.

So many folks don't understand this basic fact of how human physiology works.

It truly is sad.

We have taken these facts about carbs/sugars seriously. By doing so, DH is not a type 2 diabetic anymore and I am not pre-diabetic anymore.

@Susan Louise yes he is.  Once a diabetic, always a diabetic.  He's just in remission.  Give up the crappy diet of no carbs and he would be right back to where he was.

@CelticCrafter   Totally disagree...

However, that is the case for those that choose to go back to ingesting poor choices.

And that is the key...folks have control and make their own choices.

DH and I never plan on changing the way we live our lifestyle. We have our health back 100%, off of all medications and feel 20-30 years younger.

No cookie, pie, cake, candy, (fruit - hybridized sugar/carb bombs), bread. potato, pasta, etc can ever tempt us to go back...EVER!

We have been living this way since 2018...

Life is good. The $$$ we save alone of not having to pay for meds is a bonus on top of it all.

We can afford all the fabulous ribeyes, seafood, etc we want...so delish & satiating.

Our only regret is not starting this lifestyle decades earlier. We would have never got all those health issues to begin with.
