I agree that this is one of the best things you can do for yourself and your body. But it’s NOT easy. When eating out, sure, you can eat only meat and salad, but your friends will tease you with their high carb, sugary dishes. Or you end up at a conference where they don’t provide anything sugar free. Or you miss out at work where your colleagues take turns of cooking meals for everyone, making you feel a bit isolated.

It’s doable, but for social reasons, not easy.

Those are exceptions though. Most of the time you're preparing your own meals so it's easier.

Having the occasional sugary dish isn't going to ruin you. Anything you do to reduce sugar is better than doing nothing.

I‘m preparing maybe 50% of my own meals, don’t have time for more (2 kids, lots of appointments make me think twice to spend 15-30m on cooking).
