1. Sugar- you’re correct
2. Salt - refined salt yes, i.e. Morton’s, but instead use pink Himalayan salt(70+ nutrients in this type of salt) or Redmond’s Salt as they are solid and good nutritional supplements , body needs sodium, do not neglect that
3. Fat - biggest lie we’ve been told is to avoid fat, without good fat, such as fat from meat, we would die an early death. Red meat is critically important, it provides more nutrients than you can obtain from any other source on earth, it’s solid ancestral eating at its finest. There is not a single medical study that can suggest otherwise. Do the homework on this so you’ll be well informed as opposed to taking my word for it.
4. - Caffeine…no evidence to suggest that this should be avoided but each person needs to assess their own tolerance
I meant it as a joke, not nutritional advice. #’s 1-3, we actually do need these in the right quality and quantity. Doctors go back and forth on the caffeine question, if there are benefits or if, as the Mormons and JW’s assert, it’s demonic. It’s not a nutrient, so we don’t need it to exist. Many people “need” their morning ☕️, and the British like their 🫖, but it’s an individual thing. If you’re someone who’s a coffee hound, yes, it might be a good Lenten sacrifice. If you smoke or drink, giving those up for Lent is a challenge. Same with cannabis, but I don’t want to restart that argument. If you do illegal drugs, quit it and not just for Lent!
