Life After Sugar ·

2025/10/19

When I first told people I’d cut out sugar, everyone was so impressed — “Wow, that’s amazing! I could never do that!” But when I mentioned I’d also stopped eating bread, the mood totally changed. “Wait… no bread? Why?! That’s too extreme!” It’s funny how cutting sugar gets applause, but cutting flour is judged. And honestly, I get it. Bread and other flour-based foods have deep cultural roots — they’ve meant comfort, connection, even survival for generations. But the flour we eat ...

Ciao! Take the time to listen to this episode... because it's about what I learned about food in Italy... but especially, it's what I learned about time.

And taking the time to cook traditional, delicious meals is also a priority. Eating meals together is a priority too. And I saw this in the Italian coffee culture, as well as in slow processes...
