Awesome, congrats! I'm at 2.5 years of no artificial and as close to 0 "natural sugar" as possible. I don't have any fruit and I don't drink milk but have the lactose in cheese sometimes. I also have tomatoes sometimes so there is a little glucose in that. Generally, if I could, I'd have 0 -ose completely.
It's done wonders for my A1C and weight. It definitely gets easier after the original weaning. Now it doesn't even take thought or effort and I have no regrets at all.
- jmnicolas 7y agoIf you want to avoid lactose, there are naturally lactose free cheeses like Italian Parmigiano and French Comté.
- edraferi 7y agoOne interesting milk option is Fairlife. It's processed to have more protein and no lactose [0]. Some health bloggers object to the process, here's a summary [1]. Overall I think it's a solid product.

- johnkpaul 7y agoThanks! I've heard of this but never really researched it. I don't object to the process but I drink carageenan free heavy cream to achieve a similar taste/texture with no protein.
- inciampati 7y agoOut of curiosity, what kind of foods are your staples?
- johnkpaul 7y agoButter, oil, bacon, pork rinds and eggs
- asdffdsa 7y agoDang, no fruits & veggies?
- johnkpaul 7y agoNo fruit. Barely any vegetables. Doctors have checked my blood quarterly for years and I'm healthier than ever before. :shrug: I'm not saying it works for everyone, please don't take this as a reason for you to do the same. If you're not T2 diabetic or extremely morbidly obese, there's no reason to cut out sugar.
- dkarras 7y agoI'm curious and don't know much aboutdiet sorry, are you on some sort of ketogenic diet? Without any -ose how does your brain fuel itself?
- amanaplanacanal 7y agoThe liver converts protein and fat to glucose in small amounts as needed. look for "gluconeogenesis".
- pnutjam 7y agoDo you eat other carbs that convert to sugar, like white bread, pasta, or pretzels?
- johnkpaul 7y agoNo. I have been very close to pure carnivore for over 2 years. I hate that I have to eat some spinach and broccoli but it's way easier than liver and brain regularly.
