Enter the supermarket, check product declarations, sugar is everywhere. Salami has sugar, ketchup has ton of sugar, cakes and chips and everything like that has sugar. Yogurt has sugar. Only stuff in the supermarket manufacturers don't add sugar to are raw fruit and raw meat. Everything else is cancer pill.
Being sugar free means you lose weight MUCH faster than while having elevated sugar levels in your bloodstream. Sooner or later that will become permanent thing and you'll earn diabetes. I say earn not get, because diabetes is something you earn by living unhealthy lifestyle. It's a badge for treating your body poorly.
First of all, say no to sodas. They add the most sugar to your body because we tend to consume shitload of those. Ketchup is known for having crazy high amounts of sugar. Add ketchup to all your food, that's one way train to becoming obese.
This is very important because it seems THIRD of your beloved country are obese individuals and percentage of kids is probably even higher.
I know about this shit very well because I've lost ton of weight just by kicking products from my diet which have ton of sugar. That means I normally don't consume processed food because processed food have ton of sugar in them. When I do I get fatter fast, like 3 kilos in less than a week just because I've started piling up complex sugars in my diet. I've got away from this issue but people around me haven't yet and I'm not sure how to help them. My struggle was personal and I sticked through it and WOULD NEVER EVER come back to being obese again.
We could talk about weed but since I've never smoke weed and know just theory about it, I'd rather not engage in such discussion. Would rather someone whose had issues from weed consumption speak about it. One thing is certain, weed may not fry your brain like stronger compounds will but weed is smoked and it is not healthy to inhale combustion products. Nicotine in cigarettes gets you addicted but it's not nicotine that kills, combustion products in smoke kills. Same goes for weed or anything else really, you could smoke dry grass it would be the same. In similar vein barbeque can be problematic just like eating any food that was scortched by heat. Thing is, weed wasn't a big thing globally but now everybody does it quite often and sooner than later it will lead to new wave of lung cancer patients whose got it from smoking weed. Be smart and put your desires and pleasures on hold a bit. Weed, alcohol, sugar, doesn't matter. Overindulge and you're going to end up like the dude from linked article.
