Going without sugar until Feb 1st.

[GearSolidMetal]

Well... I had an entire tub of Greek Yogurt with ALOT of honey and... It was delicious.

But the feeling I had afterward, the sugar euphoria, felt wrong so I asked an AI about how much natural sugar is fine for someone to consume daily when attempting to lose weight, and the answer was surprising.

The Critical Distinction: Honey is an "Added Sugar"​

First and most importantly, honey is not considered a "natural sugar" in the same way as the sugar in fruit. From a nutritional and metabolic standpoint, honey is functionally identical to any other added sugar (like table sugar, maple syrup, or high-fructose corn syrup).

• Why? It contains free fructose and glucose with virtually no fiber to slow down absorption. It causes a blood sugar spike and contributes calories without significant micronutrients. While it has trace amounts of antioxidants, they are not present in quantities to offset its metabolic impact.
• The Rule: If you are strictly avoiding "added sugar," you should also strictly limit or avoid honey. It should be treated as a sweetener to be used sparingly, not a health food. The 36-gram daily limit from the AHA would absolutely apply to honey.

So.... Shit... I accidently broke my fast.
Only 94 hours into the month.
I've watched dozens of videos about honey in the past but none of them mentioned it's effectively an added sugar.

Won't be making that mistake again.

And yes it was A LOT of honey, like 12oz.

Been meaning to order a Broccoli steamer. Thank you for reminding me.

Always thoroughly enjoyed steamed Broccoli.

They have rice cookers that come with a metal stackable steam "basket" like at dim sum places. I need to try using that to cook something. I suppose you can cook both rice and steam something at the same time. The Aroma brand had it.

A Broccoli steamer... is that anything like a Cleveland steamer?

Do they sell Cleveland Steamers on Amazon?

I'm sure you can pay for one, somewhere...

Well I've never ate Cleveland ... Whatever that is... So I doubt I'd want to steam it.

Whenever I post in here I might as well post good diet advice.

Amazon carries the Aroma one from the embedded pic in my orig post above. I kinda want multiples of the steamer to attempt to make dim sum which I never tried to make ever. Or at least steam store bought frozen shumai.

Rice has always been very boring to my tastebuds.

Whenever I have got Chinese I always throw out the rice.

Chili and rice
Beef stew and rice
Curry and rice
Vinegar rice in sushi

The Japanese section would have furikake which is like maybe MSG + sesame seeds + tiny rectangles of cut up sushi nori seaweed and you put that on rice and it's no longer plain rice and has some flavor but probably too much salt. Also, Japanese have this furikake type powder they sprinkle on the head to cover up bald spots. I saw it on TV. Not sure what happens on windy days or sweat.
