Yep! Added sugar, sugared foods, foods where simple sugars are the
main ingredients like jam or "milk" chocolate, soda pops, sugared
sweets, Sicilian ice creams (dunno why they like very sweet ice
creams), and lots of other stuff alike...

Not my cup of tea, by the way. I like best foods where sugars come
together with fiber or other elements, such as in fruits or vegetables
or whole cereales or milk, or where sugars come in a form that is
released more slowly, such as pasta "al dente" or oats for
breakfast... :)

My favored breakfast is oats or muesli+whole milk+coffee+some nuts,
pinenuts, hazelnuts or almonds, or sheep's milk ricotta sometimes.
Then I have some little snack at midmorning, maybe a piece of fruit or
a bit of dark chocolate, and maybe some more milk.

Well, I don't have any, as long as I stick to these kinds of foods. :)
