Jan 24 (Wed) – Diet Update
Here’s how it’s going with my diet changes.
The chocolate-covered cashews each the size of a golf ball are gone. I think I ended up eating at most maybe one third of the bag. I’ll leave it up to you as an exercise to guess where the rest went.
.
I’m over the pies and ice cream. It’s to the point where I don’t even miss ‘em.
.
I learned that one cup of instant hot apple cider (powder mix – just add hot water) is 40% added sugar. Seems kinda high. I may have found a replacement, it’s called Stur. So far it seems to check all the boxes.
.
I tried, and like, a few of the Impossible brand plant-based meat substitute items. The burgers are fine as are the chicken fillets. I have an unopened bag of big chicken tender type deals that you air-fry. Haven’t felt motivated enough to do the work required to check one out.
.
That’s it. No more cold cuts (which I didn’t eat much of anyway). No more fast food (which was VERY few and far between anyway). An apple a day. No added sugar, so there.
.
These may become a problem. Only 7% added sugar but are addicting. They have replaced the occasional chocolate-cashew golf ball. Problem is I can’t stop eating them once I start.Add comment

Congratulations on your diet changes. You’re doing a great job of finding substitutes that you like. Be careful with that Chex Mix stuff. Probably quite a few ingredients that you’d be better off without.
