Sugar-free Life

Easting well. I have been avoiding sugar & all sweeteners coming up on 40 years. Sharing my knowledge, including gotchas, with those who want to know.

@Schiphol - Breakfast foods without added sugar or sweeteners at 6AM? All labeled baked goods, sandwiches, and salads had sugar (suiker/suker). Nobody could name the ingredients of unlabeled food, and sugar is not on the allergy list. I'm not allergic, but do not eat any.

Stuck at Phoenix airport, Sky Harbor. Packed lunch for first leg. Dinner supposed to be at destination. What to do in a food prison? Not enough time to leave and find unsweetened food. @AmericanAir won’t put me up for a flight tomorrow. #ATC #skyharbor #PHX #delay #lateflight

Earlier in the season enjoying a Mighty Moxie Protein Puck

@HotelChocolat made a very good unsweetened 100% bar that I recommended. They now offer batons, which I have not tried. Based on their Pichanaki 100% bar, I'd say this will be good. Both from Equador.
Have you tried this? Thoughts? #unsweetened #sugarfree

Dandelion Chocolate in San Francisco makes this yummy bar from 100% cocoa beans from Camino Verde, Ecuador. Worth a taste. #unsweetened #sugarfree

The Ceremony Bar from Buddha Chocolate in Portland, OR, is an incredible 100% cacao treat. This is the caliber of chocolate that makes me wonder if good chocolate needs sweetening at all. #sweetenerfree

Protein Puck's Mighty Moxie (Cocoa, Cashew, Cinnamon) (16 - 3.25oz Bars) is an agave-sweetened treat. https://t.co/bIhknhnAOd via @yotpo

Discovered the @TaltyBar. Yum and quite balanced with sweeteners, sugars, and protein. fig and cashew is my favorite so far. #talty #taltybar #sugarfree

Chocolat Bonnat 100% Cocoa Chocolate Bar. One of my first #unsweetenedchocolates that was pleasant to eat. Bonnat since 1884. #ChocolatBonnat #France

One of my all-time favorite 100% chocolate bars is from L'Amourette in #SanFrancisco. #unsweetenedChocolate #sforiginal #MadeInSanFrancisco

François Pralus 100 % Dark Chocolate Bar - My go-to #unsweetenedChocolate. Great chocolate from a company with a selection of chocolates from across the globe. Got my last bars in a shop in #Lyon. https://t.co/zyu3Bcq9uU

First #unsweetenedChocolate is also my most recent discovery: from @Original_Beans Cusco 100% chocolate. EU-based, but also available in the US @CaputosMarket in #SLC From #Peru #chocolate

Moving my list of unsweetened chocolate from Pinterest to Twitter. Stay tuned for good unsweetened chocolate worthy of eating on its own. I also include some to avoid as an eating chocolate. Rated 1-5 stars, with 5 stars being the best. #paleo #sugarfree #savory #keto

Do you remember when you joined Twitter? They told me. #MyTwitterAnniversary

New find from @proteinpuck. Their Mighty Moxie Protein Puck hits the mark: more nutritional protein than sugars, and it does it with agave so the ingredient list passes too. #vegan #GF #plantbased #peanutbutter

Long read on the timeline of sugar in the modern Western diet.

Had another great meal at @OxPDX where they were very attuned to sweeteners and knew exactly where it was and where it was not. Bravo!

[Sugar-free Life @savoryjohn]

Had brunch at @DougFirLounge at @jupiterpdx. My homefried tasted off. I asked the server, and sure enough Doug Fir adds brown sugar to their breakfast potatoes.
I've never heard of this. Anybody experience this elsewhere?

[Sugar-free Life @savoryjohn]

It's difficult to avoid sugar when traveling and eating in restaurants. What's in the stock used in the soup? If it's a commercial product (not house-made), it likely has a sweetener. Does the tomato sauce in chili have sweetener?
What are your tips and tricks to #avoidsugar?
