    It took me 6 LONG months to kick my lifelong sugar habit. I literally tried every day. I failed, gave up, beat myself up about it, and repeated that process for 6 long ASS months. It was so mentally draining on me that i almost fully quit. Finally, after some miracle, I was able to go an entire month without sugar. I had stevia only a few times, but after that, i ended giving that up, too. Im proud to say i am now 1 year sugar-free with the exception of sugar from fruits like apples and oranges, etc. I haven't had any single cane sugar or artificial sugar for a year now. So damn proud of myself, but I swear to god it was like getting rid of a drug addiction. I felt like i went through withdrawals. Headaches, detoxing, and all. It was bad. I will never go back to eating any sugar whatsoever. Ive lost so much weight, got rid of candida, got rid of tinnitus(ear ringing), no more acne, got rid of my bloated belly, improved gut health, i sleep so much better and my endurance levels have improved. I eat so healthy now that everyone says im a health nut. Lol, I'll take that over being a sugar addict! Im a 34 female with 2 children. Even my kids and husband have kicked the sugar habit. So proud of them!! Once you cut out one bad habit, it makes it easier to cut out other bad habits. So, we also cut out anything processed, seed oils, junk, fast food and anything gluten(pasta bread,tortillas). We now eat an animal based diet with lots of protein, lots of animal fats, & fruits & veggies. Anyways, cutting out sugar is possible it just takes a little time. 😅 Trust me!! 😅😅

      Also one rule to live by, is to ALWAYS look and read labels on EVERYTHING!! Sugar is in a lot of things. If it says any added sugar whatsoever I DO NOT BUY IT or EAT IT. I've made it my #1 rule in my house. Absolutely no added sugar. No cane sugar, no stevia, no artificial sugar, no nothing! You have to read the labels on all packaging of food.
      But now siince we eat an animal based diet now I don't really have to worry about buying any packaged processed food & reading labels for added sugar since everything we eat is fresh like eggs, steaks, butter, raw dairy, raw cheese, tallow, lamb, chicken, fruits and some veggies. When you eat this way you have all natural ingredients nothing added. Also we try to eat all organic and grassfed as much as possible. It has been life changing getting rid of sugar, gluten, and anything ultra processed. Stop the SAD diet and you will change your life I guarantee it! 💯

      You said a key thing - "reverse." You didn't "cure" it, you reversed it. Many diseases can be reversed, they don't need some magical cure. Glad to hear you're doing well. I lost 60 lbs. over a couple years, without trying, just by doing the things you're doing. I also take quality supplements. At 57 years old, I'm healthier than I've ever been.

      This is my story, too. I adopted a low carb diet and reversed my Type 2 diabetes without any medication. The few carbohydrates I eat the better I think, feel and sleep. I have even seen improvements in my Autoimmune symptoms. Everything I was told about the dangers of low carb and ketogenic way of eating has been proven to be a lie. I even watched as the American Diabetes Association, in a most cowardly fashion, finally endorsed this way of eating as an effective means to control, improve and even reverse T2D. Congratulations on your improved health!

    Well done for telling people that sugar isn't bad so long as you dont take excessive amounts of it and get plenty of exercise. I'm 85 and have consumed a kilo every 6 or 7 weeks throughout my life except during the war when it was rationed, and it has done me no harm. I take it mainly in my tea and burn it off with exercise, so it doesn't make me gain weight. I can still wear the same clothes now that I wore 60 years ago. I dont have any medical conditions to complicate the issue. I go for a 4 mile run once a week and do plenty of walking. Fruit and veg is an important part of my diet.

    I had hives on my upper arms for 30-40 YEARS! If I didn’t scratch myself bloody during the day, I did it while sleeping. There were nights I itched so bad that I never slept. I went to every doctor I could think of general practice, neurologist, allergist, dermatologist, on an on. I was put on Gabapentin which caused weight gain, and I was totally miserable. One day a chiropractor told me the scars on my arms looked like her mothers, and her mother stopped eating sugar for a week and a half, and all the hives went away. Done!

I knew I needed to cut down on carbs and sugar because it's causing inflammation and making me feel lousy, but I just realized that maybe it's the cause of my rash. I've looked all over the internet for a cause or a name for it and I can't find anything similar. I'm cutting out sugar completely tomorrow and see if that gets rid of this damn rash!

A couple of my best takeaways are "You don't need to count calories, just make calories count" meaning avoid empty calories and the "double edged sword of malnutrition", or the tendency to consume too many calories and not enough vitamins, minerals, etc. And the other is "self control is really self care" meaning we make better decisions when we're really taking care of our bodies and not stressing them out, pushing them to their survival instincts. Take care of yourselves friends! I'm hoping the beat for you

      Diabetes is a barrier between blood sugar and glycogen storage. Type 1 is caused by a weak and failing pancreas (usually the immune system has attacked it) that doesn't produce insulin (in significant quantities if at all). Type 2 is the cells are unresponsive to insulin - usually because the receptor sites are clogged up with fat.

    I think this video actually helped me understand why I'm hyperglycemic; I've always been on the taller and skinnier side, quite lean with a somewhat toned amount of muscle. It's extremely difficult for me to gain a significant amount of fat and I've never been fat or able to put on large amounts of it. So it seems that, if my body is unable to store that much glycogen in my muscles or my liver, and I am unable to remove the glucose from my blood by turning it into fat, then much more of my glucose would remain in my blood then the average person who can put on more fat than I can, hence the tendency for my blood sugar levels to be high and for me to be hyperglycemic/prediabetic. I'm trying to understand anatomy and my body better so I can adjust my diet and daily eating habits to better lower my blood sugar level so I can avoid developing Type 2 Diabetes, so this video has been somewhat helpful.

      So true.. I just try to avoid the obvious ones like candy, soda and most juice. A can of Pepsi has a ridiculous amount of sugar. I can barely finish a can but some people will drink 7 to 10 of them a day and wonder why they’re fat. Soda needs to be regulated more, there should be a limit on the sugar they can put. This is what causes severe obesity, food can only get you so big. I never met a obese person who doesn’t drink a ton of soda. One thing my mom did was stop buying soda for the house and she will buy a few bottles of juice. She would say if you want it go buy it yourself, I’m never buying soda for the house again. All my friends would always tell me I never have anything to eat in my house. My parents didn’t buy junk food, everything had to be cooked. If they did buy some junk food my brother would demolish it in one sitting! Lol I was always 150 to 170 lbs at 6 ft I recently got to 190. The lockdown really got to me lol.

      You're right that your body can run off ketones as well as glucose, but it does this as a last resort fail safe when your body is a state of semi-stavation, it's definitely not safer than glucose-atp synthesis. Ketones are quite literally toxins that do free radical damage to your tissues, and push your blood pH buffer systems to the limit. Not consuming enough carbs for years on end puts you a huge risk for ketoacidosis, low-grade acidosis, kidney stones, islet of langerhans atrophy, gut dysbiosis, left ventricular atrophy and literally so many other health concerns. It puts stress on all of your organ and hormonal systems and generally isn't recommended long term . Idk what kinda cult Dr. Berg has going on but be careful folks :/

The popular opinion is that sugar = bad, drink diet drinks, but not via aspartame, etc. I can see how say a weight lifter would still opt for the diet if they were on a calorie restricted diet, but aside from that, if you absolutely need to satisfy your sweet tooth and you're active, having a normal sugar is probably more beneficial for your body than a "diet" option solely based on the positive effects in the body via recharging glycogen stores. In essence, the takeaway is MODERATION is king, as with most things.

    What he didn't talk about was that added sugars, especially high-fructose corn syrup, are more readily stored as fat in the liver itself leading to fatty liver disease, they produce AGEs (Advanced Glycation End Products) which directly damage cells, and they cause a systemic inflammation response resulting in vessel damage and many other disorders.
    It's excess refined sugar and HFCS that actually cause many of the heart and vascular conditions blamed on dietary cholesterol. Cholesterol is a vital substance which your body actually needs and literally produces on its own. But when excess sugar damages your vessels, cholesterol is part of the body's attempts to fix the problem. When you keep your body in a constant state of inflammation, cholesterol builds up and can result in atherosclerosis, heart damage, etc.

      It's both, dietary cholesterol acts like oil and water in your blood. When those fats are inside your blood they coat your cells and make it impossible for insulin to reach the cell. If it happens to your arterial cells then you develop a wound where those cells die. Then your body starts to clot that spot. And as you continue to eat fattier meals you keep preventing your body from utilizing energy and healing. And thus more and more fat starts to accumulate in that clot. Again I don't know why people keep trying to justify eating cholesterol as a positive thing. When your body requires you to put that cholesterol into your blood to be utilized. And putting oil in water is never a good idea. That is why when your body makes its own cholesterol which it makes all that it needs it has carrier molecules that make sure that it doesn't have that impact. Saturated fat is even worse. So in combination it's deadly. The deadly combo is a burger with high saturated fat and cholesterol mixed with a bunch of starchy fries that are fried and really rancid oxidized oil, mixed with a high fructose corn syrup sugar drink, and throw in some caffeine there just to raise your blood pressure along with the salt. It's the type of stuff that shouldn't be allowed to be sold to children. Probably worse than a cigarette. Eat plants folks. They only make you healthier.

    What I'm missing here is the issue of _refined_ sugar. It is not sugar per se that is dangerous, it's the refined version, which can be absorbed very quickly. This triggers an insulin surge, and can be one of the factors for Type 2 diabetes because the cells develop a tolerance for insulin. Sugar in fruit and natural foods is absolutely fine. For one, there is not much of it compared to the other stuff like fibre. A litre of orange juice contains juice from 2kg of oranges - you can easily drink a litre of juice, you'll struggle to eat 2kg of oranges. It also isn't as immediately available as the refined sugar. A significant part of the sugar is locked within the cells of your fruit and veg, and it takes time to break this matrix down and absorb the sugar. And you get all that fibre as well (juicing is stupid, ask any dietician).

      sugar is sugar your body is trying to refine it when it breaks it down with digestion that is refined sugar and right when at the instannce in the moment you absorb it it is refined and your body wants to absorb the refined version because thats what it is trying to do when your body goes through the process becoming processed sugar and at the given time when its done breaking down the fibre there is o way you're not absorbing the same refined sugar as you would straight from the bag thats what your body is goiing for anyways it prefers it youre trying to give yourself direct access to the straight up available sugar and in the end that is what you get your body extracts it all the same you don't need to have a filter your body is 100% efficient at utilizing sugar , the sugar phobic community is insane.

      @@thebraininsideahead Try using some interpunction, this is outright painful to read and makes your comment seem even sillier than it is already.
      *Of course* sugar is sugar, and at the point when it is being used in your body there is no difference whether it came from an apple or from a bag of sugar, but there is bloody well a difference in terms of how it is absorbed within your body. Which is the whole bloody point of my post. When you consume refined sugar it goes into your metabolism all at once, and your body has to work hard to keep this surge down, counteracting it by a surge of insulin and converting it into fatty tissue. But when the sugar is released slowly - as is the case when you're digesting fruit and vegetables - there is no emergency and the sugar gets consumed during the normal operation of the body. You surely *must* understand the difference between downing a bottle of wine, and drinking it with a meal during the course of an evening, don't you?
      There is nothing "sugar phobic" in my comment, quite the opposite: I'm stating that the bad consequences of consuming sugar are not connected to all types of sugar, and that you *CAN* consume it from the fruit and vegetables without problems. You can also consumed refined sugar without problems, but only when you're doing heavy exercise and burn it off immediately. So do us all a favour and learn to read (and write) before embarrassing yourself with such a comment.

Xylitol even cleans your teeth while you eat it. Zevia is the only soda I would drink, if you need one. I've recently added fruit back into my diet and after cutting out sugar it is so much sweeter. I'll even have about tbsp of honey everyday. I do still have my zevia when I want a soda.

    This has been very helpful and clear. I eat healthy 99% of the time though so I can replenish my body with nutrients, just eating sugar (which typically comes in high amounts) causes oxidative stress on your cells making the aging process speed up. As well as not eating foods rich in antioxidants (such as donuts, that basically have no nutrients or antioxidants) isn't going to ve good for anyone. Micro nutrients such as the B vitamins also help with energy conversion so if you eating food high in sugar (again mainly junk) you won't really feel energetic or motivated.

Most men over 35 have used a pill out of necessity to function sexually when they could be doing exercises to combat the effects of erectile dysfunction. Oh and stopping porn use helps with erectile dysfunction because of the dopamine dumps.

    The main problem with sugar is when it's consumed the same time as fat. The fat blocks it's intended absorption and the sugar is redirected as a radical into the bloodstream causing inflammation. So it's best to keep your fat consumption separate. I reserve fats and complex carbohydrates to dinner and have no sugars during or afterwards, no desert!
