You would be surprised at how difficult it is to find food that hasn't been inundated with processed sugar and cheap ass carbs, especially if you travel often (I do). I've been actively cutting carbs/sugars from my diet since July, and along with exercise, I've dropped 20 kg. This was after a 8 month plateau where no matter what I did in the gym I couldn't drop those two stones. Oh, I also feel better, don't get hungry as often, can easily pull off 18/6 or 24 hr fasts, and maintaining a calorie deficit has actually been easy.

> You would be surprised at how difficult it is to find food that hasn't been inundated with processed sugar and cheap ass carbs, especially if you travel often (I do). There is a really simple way to deal with this, and always eat well. In the supermarket, try as hard as you can to only buy things that have one ingredient. Fruits, vegetables, meat, beans, rice, etc. If it has more than one ingredient, be skeptical, and try to consume as little of it as possible. That goes for liquid too. Water is the only liquid you should drink. (Yes, yes, for all the snarky comments coming - obviously you could buy "raw sugar" or "lard" and defeat my idea. Please - use your brain, it's not a big ask)

  Ok, just to be clear, I'm talking about prepared food. Obviously raw food isn't going to have processed sugar, but if we're talking about obvious stuff here, grocery shopping and cooking while one travels for business isn't really practical.

    I just bring cans of unsalted fish in water or their own juices and sacks of unsalted organic nuts when I go on trips. Run into a grocery store or farm stand to grab fresh fruits and vegetables whenever you see one and eat the stuff raw. You don't need to cook to eat healthily. Even when I'm not traveling most of my diet doesn't involve cooking at all. Just rinsing off dirty vegetables and slicing/peeling is the majority of preparation performed.

    What about raw sugar cane?

    I've been on the road for 5 months this summer in the US, and before that 3 years in Africa. You can do it if you want, it's your choice. Lettuce, Tomato, bell peppers, cucumber and some hummus make a pretty good lunch (obviously the hummus has more than one ingredient).
