Are there any foods that you don't count?

I don't usually count natural lemon juice or raw honey, because honey metabolizes VERY differently than sugar.. It actually eats away fat, rather than stores it, so it doesn't make sense to count it.
Any truth to this?

Sorry, I just got a really funny visual of you placing a single baby carrot on a plate and going to town on it with a fork and knife.

I squeezed lemon in my tea today - didn't count that. I also squeezed some lime on my avocado - didn't count that.0

I never count gum because it's the only thing that keeps me from eating everything else in sight.0

Honey's sugars are singularly fructose & glucose, which are monosaccharides. Sugar (sucrose) is a disaccharide composed of glucose and fructose. The difference? In digestion, monosaccharides are absorbed in our intestinal tracts, while disaccharides have to first be broken down to monosaccharides to be absorbed. Our bodies naturally have enzymes to break them down. However, not all sucrose molecules are broken down in digestion and they reach the gut bacteria.
In other words, honey is used almost INSTANTLY as energy by the body, and it does not get much of a time window to be stored as fat. Also there are a ridiculous amount of lipid phagocytic(fat devouring) compounds in honey, which AID in fat loss.
There are many live strong certified, and webmd referenced medical experts on this site. I am not one of the afore-mentioned pseudo-doctors. Honey will help you, in moderation. I guarantee this.0 -
I don't count spices on lazy days.. on other days they are in there..
I even log tic tacs if I eat them
Honey still has calories.. regardless of how it metabolizes.
Basically I log everything i eat. .0 -

It does, but it is so minute that it doesn't matter. If you drank a gallon of black coffee you might incur >50 calories.0 -
diet soda (though I should start for the sodium intake)
coffee (black)
spices (again should for sodium)
and hot sauce.0 -
Pills.
