The quest to remove "added sugar"

I like this thread. I’ve been on a quest to remove as much added sugar from my diet as possible. I’m very close except for the occasional moment.

The key was to cook fresh stuff and never buy anything from the store with added sugar. It took me a few months to read labels in the supermarket to make good decisions. Sweets I didn’t eat before.

Restaurants, dinners at friends etc I don’t mess around but this would be were I could score most of the remaining bits.

For workouts I make my own bars every other week or so and I do very well with bananas. But sometimes i still consume sugars (cliff bars and Fuel 5), Post-workout choc milk also has some sugar but I’m transitioning to a home-made oat milk/pea protein/cacao powder/honey/cinnamon mix for that

FWIW I found it much harder when traveling in the US than at home (Netherlands)
