Corporations use excessive sugar in sweets. They do it deliberately to kill you as soon as possible. Exactly as tobacco corporations are killing you with cigarettes. I've quit sugar and after a while I started to feel sick when tasting sugar.

Good for you! That shit's terrible for you. Behaves like sandpaper in your joints and vascular system.
Remember all that hate eggs got years ago when cholesterol was blamed for forming arterial plaque? Turns out sugar is to blame.
Your vascular tissue has a slick coating on the inside, called the endothelial lining. Due to its abrasive nature, sugar degrades this lining, causing cholesterol to adhere and accumulate where it otherwise wouldn't.
Think of it like using metal utensils in a non-stick pan. Nothing really sticks to the surface well unless the surface has been damaged.
Funny how you don't miss it at all once you've stopped consuming it.
Breakfast: 1 serving of fruit Iced coffee with one serving of honey
Lunch: One of three options - 1. Oatmeal with banana, frozen blueberries, organic peanutbutter (nothing added), cinammon.
2. Tiny potato, onion, pepper, fried egg on low calorie whole wheat English muffin.
3. Bowl of canned tunafish, onions, celery, tomato and olive oil.
Every lunch I also eat hummus with carrots or celery along with olives that I prepare myself.
Dinner: Could be anything but I try to eat low saturated fats and no carbs for dinner. I have high cholesterol so I try to keep it to salmon/tofu/chicken with vegetables.

I try to keep daily carb intake under 24g net (minus dietary fiber) as a rule of thumb. It's not all that hard once I got used to it.
That being said, I don't sweat the occasional potato/tortilla chip if the kids are having some.

It might sound boring and I found it to be a real page-turner. Good stuff :)

Once I stopped consuming sugar, I began to find even small amounts to be too sweet for my taste.
