Veggies have sugar, even dairy.
This person stated cutting out sugar completely (not cutting back).

I have never heard of anyone completely cutting out sugar
Can it be done? Even for a day?
Tell me your experience going 100% without a drop of sugar for a day or longer.
Note: I am at around 50 grams of sugar a day

    It might be a fun experiment, but I'm not convinced i need to change my sugar intake at all. I am quite happy with my results, and that's with a diet that is inclusive of anything i want.

    Well, no ADDED sugar is easy. I'm usually around 25-30G/day.

    Technically, all carbohydrates are composed of sugar molecules (glucose, fructose, galactose, ribose) linked together. I don't see how someone can go completely sugar free without going carb-free (but that is because I consider carbs to be super large sugar molecules). If someone considers sugar as only mono or disaccharides (1-2 molecules of sugar linked together), then I can see how someone can go "sugar free."

    Personally, I wouldn't want to spend a day without sugar. Nor do I need to. :)

    The only way to eat no sugar is to eat all meat.

    I'm a vegetarian. Ain't happening.

    I see no point. My day would be less healthy without vegetables, fruit, dairy, sweet potatoes, etc.

    No, normal keto doesn't cut out all sugar.

    I don't even think it would be possible for me. Plus, honeycrisp apples are happening now, so so good.

    isn't keto about not eating any sugar? - i really don't know

    Keto is low-carb (typically less than 20-40g of net carbs a day). Under the physiologic effects of keto, I could consume 10g of starch (300+ glucose molecules linked together) or 10g of sucrose (table sugar) and would continue to be in nutritional ketosis. Sugar is often considered a subcategory of carbohydrates.

    No thanks, I like fruit, veggies, other carbs, and especially sweets. Hasn't hurt me.

    I've done it a couple of times. 24 hour fast with just water. Most miserable times in my life and did it in my 20's as a challenge. I basically slept almost all day.

    Yes, I could go a day without eating anything. That isnt really the point though. Really, you only need to focus on reducing refined, added sugar, or eating less carbs if that helps your goal.

    OP, nobody completely cuts carbs out.
