NOTES:
Where to get meat: Butcher shops that are local to you will have great meat products for you at good costs that aren’t modified weirdly like the big box stores tend to be. If you cook a steak from a butcher shop it’s not going to shrink as drastically as the ones you get from a big box store such as Walmart. Go on Google and find some around you and check them out. They can be quite different from each other so make sure to look around and see which ones are best for you.
Where to get fruits and vegetables: Usually it’s fine to get them at the big box stores but you can get really great stuff at local farmers markets. It will depend a lot on the time of year when those are available to get stuff. Some areas have those open more in the year if they are in places that don’t have a lot of cold weather and the plants are able to grow most of the year with multiple crops per year.

Fructose is a complex sugar that is difficult for the body to break down and is very sweet and gives you weird sugar spikes and is addictive because of how unbalanced that spiking and sweetness works. Sucrose is a combination of dextrose and fructose which makes it still difficult to process but less so than fructose and has about a middle sweetness to it. There are fake sugars and they have their own problems. Problems such as… content here. Sugar is a complicated thing. Read more here…
