Stuck at Phoenix airport, Sky Harbor. Packed lunch for first leg. Dinner supposed to be at destination. What to do in a food prison? Not enough time to leave and find unsweetened food. @AmericanAir won’t put me up for a flight tomorrow. #ATC #skyharbor #PHX #delay #lateflight
Dandelion Chocolate in San Francisco makes this yummy bar from 100% cocoa beans from Camino Verde, Ecuador. Worth a taste. #unsweetened #sugarfree

The Ceremony Bar from Buddha Chocolate in Portland, OR, is an incredible 100% cacao treat. This is the caliber of chocolate that makes me wonder if good chocolate needs sweetening at all. #sweetenerfree

Moving my list of unsweetened chocolate from Pinterest to Twitter. Stay tuned for good unsweetened chocolate worthy of eating on its own. I also include some to avoid as an eating chocolate. Rated 1-5 stars, with 5 stars being the best. #paleo #sugarfree #savory #keto
New find from @proteinpuck. Their Mighty Moxie Protein Puck hits the mark: more nutritional protein than sugars, and it does it with agave so the ingredient list passes too. #vegan #GF #plantbased #peanutbutter
Long read on the timeline of sugar in the modern Western diet.

Had another great meal at @OxPDX where they were very attuned to sweeteners and knew exactly where it was and where it was not. Bravo!
Had brunch at @DougFirLounge at @jupiterpdx. My homefried tasted off. I asked the server, and sure enough Doug Fir adds brown sugar to their breakfast potatoes.
I've never heard of this. Anybody experience this elsewhere?
It's difficult to avoid sugar when traveling and eating in restaurants. What's in the stock used in the soup? If it's a commercial product (not house-made), it likely has a sweetener. Does the tomato sauce in chili have sweetener?
What are your tips and tricks to #avoidsugar?
Some guidance to eat less sugar is a way to start. 35 years ago I started eating less sugar. The less I ate, the better I felt.
