I mean,

I was surprised I I'm Jewish and we had Passover and I didn't even look at the label.

I just bought some, a jar of gefilte fish that my mother used to buy.

And I'm like, this is kind of sweet.

And I kind of looked at the labels.

Like it was like full of sugar.

And I'm like, why do they put sugar in fish?

It's like, so it's pretty much everything.

And obviously, you know, uh,

refined sugars of all kinds, brown sugar, aspartame, sucralose, saccharin, sulfatame, just pass on those things.

And there are a lot of ways to enjoy sweetness.

Also a little hack, use a continuous glucose monitor from levels.

That'll help you find out what things are affecting you and what are not.

You can also eat protein and fat before you eat something sweet or carby.

For example, if you drink a glass of wine or alcohol on an empty stomach, you get a quick buzz, right?

But if you basically

have it after a meal or in the middle of the meal, you don't get that instant buzz.

Why?

Because of the quick absorption.

Same thing with sugar.
