Eliminating sugars or salt will make you realize just how overly sweet and salty most food that isn't prepared at home is.

It’s wild to me how heavy cream tastes sweet after you acclimate to a low sugar diet. It has something like 1g of sugar for every 12g of fat (if I remember from the label)
And attempting to eliminate sugars shows you just how ridiculously difficult it is to avoid it in the US.

Like, why is there extra sugar in my bread?

Especially on a budget. It's very hard to find cheap food that isn't full of added sugar
Gotta eat your foot long subway cake.
