You only have a lot of trouble if you're adamant about looking for all the same kinds of food you did before.
It's actually pretty easy if you accept that the total number of items at the grocery store / restaurants has dramatically shrunk, and you stick to mostly whole foods (food category, not the corporation). Your staples start to become less processed crap and more animal products, vegetables, dairy, nuts/legumes, and more cooking at home.
It's a big transition that most people are unprepared for, but not actually terribly difficult as a single person with no SO/kids.
- adrianN 3y agoSo you agree that it’s hard to find prepared food without sugar…
- anonym29 3y agoSugar alone? No, not really. A lot of stuff that doesn't need any added sugar has it (tomato sauce, baby formula, jams/jellies, gravy, salad dressing, etc), but overall, a plurality of the items for sale in my local grocery store don't have sugar. I can buy prepared pizzas, burgers, frozen dinners (just don't eat the dessert, be careful of gravies), lunch meats/cold cuts (almost all animal products really), many types of wheat-derived products like bread, pasta, cereal. Lots of veggies are super easy too. Sugar is pretty easy to avoid. Stop doing your shopping in the twinky aisle. Simple carbohydrates in general? That's more difficult. For reference, I say this as someome who's cooking skills consist of knowing how to use a microwave, knowing how to boil water, and knowing how to cook a frozen pizza, I'm not some kind of culinary wizard.
