I'm 2.5yrs sober from alcohol but cannot get past a week of no sugar! Its the hardest thing I've tried to quit 😮
mine was cannabis almost a year sober but darn it! this sugar addiction is killing me....literally. best of luck to you though!
@@caissa6187 Goodluck to you as well!!
You guys just have it in your brain to consume protein, eggs, fruits and vegetables only 🎉❤keep it simple, no added sugars, processed foods and bad oils.
CINNAMON! If you can take a teaspoon a day (I have it in oatmeal every morning), it helps you NOT crave sugar. Also, instead of going cold turkey, try it INCREMENTALLY. I quit having it in tea first (I have 2 cups of tea EVERY day with milk/cream and 2 teaspoons of sugar in each). Just cutting THAT out was difficult... but once I got used to it, everything changed... and my taste/craving changed. But adding the bitter in, REALLY helps! Because often, when we crave sugar, it is actually one of the other flavours that our body needs: Sweet, Salty, Sour, Bitter and Savoury.
Good luck!
@@andreaandrea6716NO NO NO ! This will damage your liver in no time . If you insist of having cinnamon 1/3rd teaspoon no more than 3 times a week.
My dad told me go one week without sugar and milk in coffee and you'll never go back. He was right!!
My brother said the same thing to me but I still haven't been able to do that
@@NPPREMA they say that every time you want sugar to have salt instead and that helps
@@truenokill I'de heard vinager as well can have that effect
@MsConrad I'm so grossed out by vinegar but Def do what works!!
But I have cappuccinos! Anyway I don’t have sugar, just soy milk.
Has anybody else ever noticed that when you are emotionally satiated and feel loved and well-connected to others that you no longer have these kind of addictive cravings?
I don’t believe any substance or behavior is fundamentally addictive. It’s what we’re missing in our lives that makes it seem that way.
Although there are substances that are inherently physically addictive, what you said about emotions is often true, even of addiction to drugs and other such substances.
You should read up on neurobiology and the effects of addictive substances on the brain before you share your "hunch" or "beliefs".
@@anmnou maybe you should practice connecting with others more deeply.
So true that’s why it’s called emotional eating which are usually artificial sugar stuff. Emotional depression is usually a disconnection with a person So true
Good point
These algorithms are getting scary. I’ve been thinking about this all week.
I swear they are reading our minds.
Graphene
@@ardordeleon how graphene? 😳
They have definitely figured out how to read our mind. I am not going to put it past. The genius minds behind all this social media.
Haha yes!!! Me too! But I did get the answers I needed
I went without sugar for over a year. The first time I ate something sweet (a little piece of candy), my body rebelled. My heart pounded and I began to sweat. Made me realize the strength of sugar’s ability to make you crave more despite having just eaten something sweet.
What strategy did you use to quit sugar and for that long? Also did you consume sugar regularly before you stopped it? I'm addicted to sugar and I need to stop but don't know how to beat the cravings. I'm type 2 diabetic so it's very important I learn how to give it up long term.
@@septembersapphire347try yoga n meditation. Its all in the mind.
I second the first question. It's in everything from commercial bread to ketchup. Did you stop buying things with sugars in them or just no added sugar??
Look into Julia Ross’ work with FooLd addictions and EZ amino acid therapy.
Free insightful survey for you too.
Use Allulose it lowers your levels and its natural and sweet
It's very sad how many are addicted to sugar. Especially little children😢
Thank you
What food don’t have sugar in it….
It's not an addiction, it's merely a bad choice.
@@dstarkspp - Meat and eggs.
Have you noticed how parents/adults also push/force sugar when a child refuses. Have you seen a baby's reaction to tasting sugar for the first time? they twist up their face, turn away or push the parent's hand away. The adults laugh, then tease the baby and reintroduce the sugar again and again until the baby accepts it. I think this is disgusting.
@@pjj.5649yes! I have been cutting sugar out along with using intermittent fasting and sugar is highly addictive! I learned that our gut biome also, depending on its health will crave sugar so we just eat it to feed that bacteria. Sounds woo woo but wow, doing this and I’ve already lost 12 pounds in a few months which is amazing considering I haven‘t been able to lose a single pound in the last 20 years. If parents didn’t give their kids highly processed/sugary foods, these kids would be so much healthier and likely ward off so many diseases and crazy allergies that pop out of nowhere.
Exactly, I quit 40 years of smoking 13 months ago, today I still struggle with sugars
Same here, I quit 6yrs ago, yet the sugar intake is off the charts for me, and I believe it’s why I have an auto-immune disease, yet I can’t kick it🤬😡
I have to congratulate you! 40 years of smoking is wild! Glad to hear you made a decision to quit. Cheers to quitting for good! You can do it! Congratulations again
@@antoineaaron3754 giving up smoking was easy, its the carbs that are the hardest to quit. Its still a daily struggle. Everyone around me thinks I'm crazy no doubt, but I press on.
Yep. After quitting nicotine on my own, it scared me when I tried to quit sugar and found myself absolutely helpless. Took me getting professional support with supplements and acupuncture, to quit it successfully.
Same here! I quit smoking last year but I’m so addicted to sugar and it’s been such a struggle to drop!
My joint pain was getting really bad. I could barely walk down stairs my right knee hurt so bad. I changed to an organic, whole food diet with no sugar and all the pain went away. It was truly life changing. So many health markers improved greatly and the mental clarity was off the charts.
That’s awesome, keep it up! I’ve been eating bread and chocolates regularly, my joints and wrist starting to hurt. I need to start asap.
Since quitting sugar, my skin came alive, no spot, no marks on my skin, no buffed up eyebags in morning and I look much younger. I sleep much better and far more energy through the day. Belly slimmer with added gym and walking.
Thanks for sharing!!
@@Healthyimmunedocare homemade pickles bad for health?
@OO9O9 1. Pickles can be either a bitter, sour, or even hot.
If you use a lot of sugar in your pickling. Then obviously yes.
@@ariesmight6978 is there a way to make pickmes without sugar? I want to start food bussiness, I want to make more healthier choices for cutomers
@OO9O9 There are two types of salt alternatives. No Salt and Dash. Both of these products are both natural. As well ass very successful. So a natural sugar substitute. Should be both feasible. And quite successful in sales as well!
Keto changed my tastes. I went on keto to cure my pre-diabetes, and it did that, in 3 months. But to this day, 5 years later, I am now still sensitive to the sweetness in foods.
I can now taste the sweetness in raw walnuts, for instance, whereas before keto, they tasted bitter. After keto I understood why some onions are called sweet. Before keto, I only thought of the raw ones as hot.
Before keto, I was enjoying sweet Starbucks coffees and teas every morning (which I believe caused the pre-diabetes). But the other day I took one of my Christmas gift cards and tried one of their new cold hazelnut coffee drinks, and it tasted gross -- like drinking liquid candy.😢 I could only tolerate a sip. I have put it in the fridge & I'm very slowly using it up by using it as a creamer in black coffee.
So I agree with everything the good doctor says EXCEPT I don’t think any post-keto sugar spike is going to be a major thing for me.
I attribute my permanent change of taste to the keto diet that I was only on for a few months, 5 years ago (Thank you, Dr. Berg!).
Yes I follow him as well and lost weight and brought my A1C down
@@tracyjones3360 One great way to stop a craving is *brush your teeth* . I could've watched any of the videos that say "watch this & you'll never eat sugar again". I laugh at them all. They do not grasp the level of addctn some of us have to sugar! None of that got me to quit it & I still crave it even now that my digestion issue forced me off gluten & other things full of sugar. It's true, it was easier to quit smokingthan this.
Same thing here. Keto was THEE ONLY METHOD that help me to successfully quit Sugar. I also followed Dr. Berg and he has NEVER discouraged the consumptive of Whole Foods or carbs in the form of fruits & veggies. This isn’t the 1st time I’ve heard this Dr. here on this channel state something that was not true. SMDH
I agree with you, except I also can tell you fruit is not good for diabetics to eat.
I'd be careful about keeping it in the fridge. It is easy to reach for it, even it tastes vile, when having a bad day, and it changing what you eat gradually back to how it was before keto. I would have just thrown it away entirely.
90% of "foods" in our grocery stores is junk food. Row after row of crap.
Right?!?!? If you look 'energetically' at all the boxes, packages and tins, you think "WTF??? WHY are people buying this junk?"
You really cut to the chase, girl, and call it out. Absolutely right! My Chickasaw grandfather born in 1911 taught us it would weaken us and kill us. He was a bricklayer and more muscular and fit than any young athlete I have ever met through mine or my middle aged son's life. Thank you. We all fall prey in emotionally tough times and need continual reminders like my grandfather's warnings.
Your grandpa warned you all about sugar back in the day? That's wild. He totally knew. Bet you have lots of cool stories from him. You're blessed to know your roots!
January 30th this year, I quit carbs, sugar, and alcohol. I had a rough 2 weeks. Admitting in the mirror I was a sugar addict daily and knowing my health goals and goals for my family drove me. Still sober, also no carbs or sugar. Definitely no processed oils. I'm the healthiest I've been my whole adult life. Feel half my age. I don't fear pesticides and forever chemicals on fruits and vegetables. Because I don't eat them. Giving up sugar is hard, getting a new view on life is priceless.
Good luck and keep up the good work. Sugar addiction is no joke
What do you eat?
@@reneesuter7884 I eat meat and animal products mostly. So meat, salt, coffee, water, and limited dairy since January 30th. My blood work is great.
I have lost over 100lbs and yet I cannot escape my sugar addiction. I have eaten plant-based for almost 3 years and it is still difficult to eliminate snacking on granola bars, cookies and breads. This information is very helpful. WHOLE FOODS ALL 2024!
great job, keep at it!
Eat meat!
@@nadogrl Exactly
Eat what you want in moderation.
Also swap cookies etc, for fruits. You get the sugar fix plus vitamins in fruits x
@@nadogrl protein is where it's at!
Thank you 1:37 I’ve been fighting western doctors since 37 I’ve went from 400 to 175-190 and I love it
Woah!! Well done!!!
Fermented foods, nuts, seeds, fruits have helped me to cut back on sugar intake. I am now only using sugar in my coffee. I appreciate your in-depth knowledge!
I agree. I ate some sauerkraut on a sandwich and pickled cabbage in a salad. I feel will help me on my journey! Thanks🙋🏽♀️🪷
She says not to eat fermented or pickled food. Everyone else says to eat more. Confusing as usual.
@@user-rebelnature Trust if folk eat pickled pig feet. . .🤣
I'm 63 and vegan for 8 years. I recently started eating a more fruitarian, raw vegan diet. Your video is excellent. Thank you. 🧡
I have been sober five years from an over 20 year heroin addiction. That was so very hard. But now sugar. I find it even more difficult. I struggle daily with my sweet tooth. I’ve just been told I have high cholesterol. I just this week am getting serious about my sugar addiction. It’s really no different than heroin . Great video! Thanks so much for the info. Very helpful
You are an over comer! And you can do it, we need to apply the same tools as quitting heroin. Do. It have it around, do not walk down the isles of the store with the sugar, do not do the things or hang around the places that would trigger you to consume the sugar.
I need to think about it the same way I think about alcohol, I quit drinking alcohol but why is sugar so hard? Because it doesn’t ruin your life the way these substances did which was much more impacting both physical, financial, etc. I found that changing the time of day helped me to cut down on sugar. So typically I would eat sugar at night, I changed to eating it after lunch instead, I told myself I can have it but after lunch not after dinner and I don’t want as much, then I changed to I can have the sugar for breakfast and at breakfast time I def don’t want as much sugar which helped me have the “non desire” of sugar. Oddly this has helped a lot.
Don’t *** have it around
That's because sugar puts bad microbes in your gut that makes your body rely on carbs instead of ketones. Those microbes communicate with your brain through the vagus nerve telling you to consume more carbs to feed their army of bad vs good.
I am struggling with the same issue. I find that it is much better if I just don’t have it around AND increasing my protein intake each day. I shoot for 140 grams of protein although I haven’t met that goal yet. It does seem to help. Good luck!
Me too. I’m still on methadone but been off the dope for 10 years. Sugar is so hard to quit. Ugh.
She connects the dots between addiction and consumption beautifully. Very well done!
Pickled veggies have helped control sugar cravings. Growing them in the summer and canning for use in winter.Great for gut health.❤😊
Don’t over consume pickles. Lots of salt.
Kefir is also a great way to make milk healthy & the probiotics get too all parts of the intestines.
@@Healthyimmunedoc
Incorrect. Fermented vegetables are very healthy. Little of the brine is consumed in the final product.
Do you ferment them? My favourites are red cabbage sauerkraut and also carrots.
Yes I love kimchi also. Helps digestion
I think I'm going to begin palate retraining. Vinegar, citric acid, espresso, bitter herbs and greens.
Thank you! Alcohol, nicotine, and THC were easy to give up, but sugar is everywhere! Even going to health food stores for groceries, we see high carbs in the foods on shelves and in coolers/freezers. Motivation to leave behind processed foods and make the switch to whole foods has been the issue for me, until now. Thank you again for making this information easy to digest, so that my drive and emotions can work together to on the same balanced path. ☯
I genuinely don't know anyone who enjoys fresh chocolate chip cookies more than me, and I water mixture of chlorophyll, chia seeds and licorice root has literally killed my sugar appetite without me intentionally trying. That and working out... everyone is different but I'm a very fit person and I've kinda leaned on that and not entirely addressed my sugar addiction... I enjoy the taste of this mixture as it is slightly sweet and chewing the chia seeds stimulates my brain and replaced chewing gum in the gym... not sure if personal mental factors or stresses are factors in this, but I just wanted to share with anyone who may find this tidbit helpful.
Hi, thank you for this insight. I'm intrigued by your concoction. What are the quantities you use in the water, chia seed and licorice root mixture?
@ibchili so at this time I'm drinking two mixtures. I put about a gram of licorice root in half gallon of water as it's own beverage that i drink throughout the day. And the other mixture is the chlorophyll and chia seed... which is about half a dropper full of concentrated chlorophyll and maybe 2-3 grams of chia seed in a whole gallon of water. The chia mixture is for during and post workout.
licorice has a certain kind of bitter-sweetness...good suggestion
@@JaMzNetworkIs that fresh licorice root or dried?
@@ibchili dried licorice root from my local co-op
I think being on keto intermittently not permanently and also sticking to whole foods is helpful.
I agree
I adopted eating the authentic Mediterranean diet w/ daily walking and moderate weight lifting 3x a week. Its heavy on veggies, with seafood and fruits being about 10% of my diet. Rarely do I eat sweets or processed food bc i can taste the chemicals now. Sweets still taste good but I don’t crave them at all anymore. Ive dropped weight fast, my brain functions much better and my skin completely cleared and looks amazing. inflammation going away has been the biggest relief. I had no idea until i switched how much pain was coming bc of inflammation die to the overload of process foods and simple sugar. Yet i still have to remain vigilant bc we live in such a toxic food culture
You're doing well but go easy on the seafood and definitely don't touch farmed salmon, perhaps the most toxic food on earth.
This is one of the best videos I’ve seen on quitting sugar addiction. Very simple logic, presented with facts to back it up. I am a health coach with a life long sugar addiction. I have tried it all. The closest I’ve come to beating the struggle is fiber first! Thank you.🙏
Thank you for those kind words! Yes fiber first. Keep the whole fiber matrix and eat whole good quality foods. 😊
@@judymiller5154wow... and you're quiet rude! Why do you need to shove your point of view ( or lifestyle ) on someone's face like that? You know there are different diets for different people. If you don't agree with what she says just leave a polite comment what works for you.
She just made a video ( free no less) with what her knowledge and experience entitled her to. There isn't one way only to give up a bad habit. Some people go cold turkey some taper it off in time.
Afterwards some people can take up fruits ( and fiber) and function easily without falling back into the sugar trap. Some people don't so they might stay away from anything sweet for life. It's that simple. No need to patronize everyone here that your way is the only way. Good on you if it works for you.
@@Livingwise88 sorry to trigger you, Karen. I was responding to her admitted failures. She was NOT recommending any particular diet or program. She specifically claimed "lifelong sugar addiction. I've tried it all." (How can she be coaching anyone else to overcome when she has not herself won the battle?) Apparently you have no experience in 12-step or other addiction recovery programs, but we all learn truth hurts and being nice about this kind of self-harm is harmful in itself. BTW I did not shove anything in anybody's face - I wrote my experience and opinions and anybody is free to read or scroll on. Be an adult. Do better.
I do not eat any sugar or processed foods anymore.
But i do like dried figs and dates. Would you advise against eating figs and dates? Do you think they have a high sugar content even though they are Whole Foods?
@@swaha55 yes, loaded with sugar! google glycemic index for them
I have scoliosis and many spinal surgeries. I was on opiates for 12 years. After my last surgery I got off them in 8 weeks time. I started craving sugars when I started the pain mess. I STILL haven't been able to quit sugar! I am praying 🙏 your videos give me the key to being able to quit.... 😢
I have Scoliosis as well and kicked the pain meds but still working on a sugar addiction!
I love the concepts “Activating Diversion Pathways ” “Fiber Wall” “Positive feedback for addiction” “Original Structure”
When I did keto, I simply excluded high carb choices like potatoes, bananas, corn ALL GRAINS, beans, etc. that switch your body over to burning carbs for fuel instead of fats. I did eat vegs like avocado, tomato, olives, zucchini, and fruit like blueberries, and for a treat mixed berries with unsweetened cocoa, coconut oil or heavy cream with stevia for sweetness. Had GREAT results!
That’s also how I eat 90% of the time. I try not to eat anything processed. Homemade Chia pudding with monk fruit sweetener and cinnamon is my go to dessert ….
Me too
Agree.
It’s ridiculous the way the keto diet is vilified
@@tootstoyou1 I also enjoy heavy cream with blueberries and lots of Stevia. What a delicious treat! I like it as much as ice cream
I got off sugar in 2018...and I lasted about a year. But then, I got weak and ate some sugar around Christmas of 2019. After that the craving came back with a vengeance! Since then I do eat sugar, but I don't eat it as much as I used to. I am able to avoid it all day and enjoy a small amount of it after dinner.
It was harder to kick than anything else I've been addicted to.
Well, isn't that the life of an adult? Enjoying things in moderation?
you’re saying fat is bad? causes insulin resistance?
from what I have read fat does not spike insulin but does give sustained energy.
Everyone to choose at their convenience, but I know this because I had seen it with more than one person and it hurts because they’re my family. My brother and niece, followed the Atkin diet, they wanted everyone on it, I refuse can’t it a ball of meat every day, they both have heart problems, my brother has two heart attacks, my husband,boy that this men it’s a meat lover, every day for 26 years this man has eaten meat, today,he has a bad fatty liver diseases, me all my life been stubborn, I eat a variety, portion control it’s always in my mind, avoid red meat, cook with minimal grease,salt no sugar. I still eat sugar very little portions. My opinion is everything in a very control portions and as organic as you can. My sister is completely the opposite of me, she cooks most of her food in the pork fat, she has problems with mitral valves in her heart , diabetes. I goggles everything and read not only from one fountain, but different experts, and mostly eat everything I grow in my garden!!! Good luck.
@@CH-hm8ud Don't blame meat and fat for what carbs have done. Meat only diet heals and clears out blockages. My dad cleared out his blockages with high fat meat heavy diet, low carb almost no veg or fruit.
you read something ones and question what someone thats been reading for 30 years has to say...literally why even watch the video...
clarification would be good. "Fat" has gotten a bad rap for far too long. @@camilaml2388
Doctors are educated and very capable people who are good at calculus obviously... But nearly half of medicine is guesswork. Lol doctors give a different answer to the same question all the time. This is coming from a nurse.
I eat a WFPB diet, vegetarian for 17 years, vegan for over 15 years. The day I became vegan it was like a light switch. My cravings for salt switched to sugar. I eat many raw vegetables and fruit, whole grains, nuts, seeds, and plant proteins. But I CANNOT go a day without eating something sweet! I will try the vinegar suggestion. Salad dressing made with ACV is delicious!
Vegan propaganda
A semi-keto diet has really helped me with my memory, sugar level drops, and my weight, so I’m happy. I mostly just try to avoid sugar and carbs, but I don’t seek out fats. I don’t avoid them because I’ve already cut sooooo much that is made of carbs and sugar, but I’m not chasing fat down either. It has been such a game changer for the way I feel.
My health became a proper sh$t storm a few years ago... Chronic Pancreatitis, Hashimoto's Thyroiditis, Bursitis in my shoulders, chronic fatigue, vertigo, mood swings, hair loss, brain fog, etc , etc , etc.
I quit sugar, all grains (except white rice, amaranth and quinoa) and processed foods. I also did a 8 month heavy metal detox (even had my amalgam fillings replaced to nix the mercury).
I am HUGELY better today! Energy level is amazing. Inflammation is GREATLY decreased. Brain fog is gone.
I'm meeting with a functional medicine doctor in March to see about getting me off of my thyroid hormone meds.
Grab your life by the horns and LIVE! Your life is precious! ♥️
Can I ask what your diet mainly consists of? Sounds like a really clean diet. Glad you had a great turn around in your health!
@@razzywicks8558 I try to keep things organic, grass fed, cold pressed, free-range, etc. as much as possible. It ain't cheap but it's cheaper than the doctor's bills! I also cut out bad oils (including seed oils) and primarily use avocado oil for cooking and olive oil (for unheated things like salad dressing) and coconut oil.
I'll eat baked chicken, hamburger patties, baked turkey breasts (no processed meats like kielbasa, sausage, or lunch meat), eggs, nuts (mostly raw), veggies (no corn, as it's a grain), fruit, basically whole foods.
I don't do bread, pasta, cake, cookies, etc. unless it is grain-free, organic, and I can identify and accept the ingredients. No to potatoes, yes to sweet potatoes. I do enjoy a garden-fresh tomato from time-to-time but try to minimize nightshade consumption in general. Ditto dairy. I'll occasionally do plain Greek yogurt with fruit and nuts, but not on a regular basis.
I also have occasional "feast days" on special occasions like my birthday, anniversary, Thanksgiving and Christmas where I'll eat whatever the heck I want, lol. Those are fun and yes, I do sometimes FEEL the results of those indulgences, but, personally, I've found those occasional indulgences actually help keep me on track between them because I don't feel deprived AND when they DO make me feel icky afterward, it serves as a good reminder WHY I should be diligent (if that makes sense).
I hope that helps!
@@razzywicks8558As a note... There are various grain-free "flours" out there that you can make all kinds of things with. For example, I make four tortillas out of Cassava flour, muffins and crackers out of almond flour, etc. Coconut flour is another option. There are all kinds of RUclips videos and books out there with really great recipes. I just ordered some angel hair pasta off of Amazon made with nothing more than hearts of palm. I'm looking forward to giving that one a try! 😊
Do you refrigerate your rice for 12-24 hours before you eat it? I just learned of it from Motivational Doc on YT and tried it a few days ago after having so many issues with rice and wow, not only did it completely help the issue with it but it was the best rice my husband and I have ever had.
@@krystalshepherd4582 No, not as a rule, but I generally refrigerate leftover rice. What are the benefits of doing so?
I am about 34 years sober and I remember my first few years of meetings there was always coffee and very often something sweet like cookies, donuts, etc. I for one needed that sugar! After I got sober I eventually gave up sugar when I was diagnosed with diabetes.
Right? Coffee and sugar is always available at the meetings!
I’ve been addicted to sugar since I was a child. I tried quitting several times throughout my life, but stopped when I had reverse reactions headache, nausea, pain, etc after tons of research, and realizing how much sugar is detrimental to your health, I decided to quit, suck up the reverse reactions and quit it cold turkey.
What I personally did to overcome my sugar addiction was: I threw out everything that would be considered processed sugar. I told my BF do not bring anything in this house for the next 2 to 3 weeks that has sugar in it. I also avoided fruit during this time. The reason I avoided fruit is because after eating a fruit, my sugar addiction was so bad I would crave processed sugar, so temporarily I removed fruit from my diet, I started eating high protein and light vegetables. It was rough all my symptoms exasperated and I felt like I was dying 😂 but three weeks later my sugar addiction was gone. I can now be around tons of chocolate or processed food or 🍩 and not feel the craving of binge eating any of it. I incorporated fruits back into my diet but I do not go overboard with it. I still will enjoy a piece of cake, but it is very rare now and whenever I do eat it, I do not feel the need or desire to binge eat process dessert like I used to.
What Doc said about changing your pallet and tastebuds is very accurate, I hated eating vegetables and avoid anything that was considered healthy. I slowly incorporated more vegetables and I wanted to vomit half the time but eventually I noticed my pallet and tastebuds changed overtime. Now I know our crave all the bad sugar and my body tells me whenever I’m eating something bad because I’ll get sick versus Never eat something healthy I feel better and more energetic.
Sugar addiction is a form of addiction. It is very hard to overcome. However, you have to do 3 things to quit: motivation, a will to quit and execute (put into action). I’ve noticed since I quit the sugar, I have several positive benefits which are increase energy, decrease joint and muscle pain, increase cognitive performance, and overall better mood. Stay positive. If I can do it you can too!! 🫡🤗
Fast. Dense. Clear. No nonsense. Memorable. Great content.
Lemon water with mint is super wonderful. I have found finding exchange foods extremely satisfying. My family struggles watching me and they don’t understand I feel so much better. They keep getting me gummy bears.
I guess I need to explain it’s like cigarettes, when you quit you quit!!
I am finding sugar foods are making me so sick. I got to get everything out of my house.
Thank you doctor for this video
My husband and in-laws buy me sugary candy and bread, potatoes, ice cream etc because they think I'm hypochondriac and not pre-diabetic because I don't have insurance and haven't seen a doctor in ten years. They think I just don't want to go to the doctor. I do, for the blood tests!
Susan.. We love adding lemon..lime.
A slice of orange to our water...it just goes down nicely and we all need to drink more water. GINGER is absolutely delicious with lemon 🍋 😂
I love lemon water with mint took, especially if I can get loads of ice and have it super cold. I've managed to grow a large bush of mint in my courtyard garden. Unfortunately, I don't have room for a lemon tree (though I'm tempted to get a dwarf lemonade tree when I can afford it). At the moment, lemons are quite expensive- around $1.50 per lemon. I've decided to slice them thickly and put them in the freezer. That way they can double as both a flavour and an ice to keep the drink cooler. If I can't get (or afford) lemons I choice oranges instead.
I'll have to try some ginger. Do you grate it or leave it as a thick slice?@@angelicafreund8551
I’m so confused. One doctor says oats are inflammatory. The next doctor says they aren’t. So frustrating!
I dont know if it is, but try buckwheat if u havent
It's all BS. One of the worst things is glyphosate and commercial grains are sprayed heavily. I believe it's the poisons on our food that are causing so many inflammatory problems. A recent study found glyphosate in ALL the breast milk in the study. We are swimming in an ocean of chemical poisons and toxins.
Oats are good, I don’t care what the latest trend is.
Like so many other things I've come to realize over the past few decades. The devil's in the DETAILS. And most *don't know* or gloss over the details.
Oats per se, probably not a problem. Oats THAT ARE GMO or sprayed w/ **glyphosate** before OR after harvest (to dessicate) are probably going to 1. wreck the gut biome & 2. cause leaky gut (small tears in the intestines causing spillage outside the digestive tract and inflammation.)
THAT inflammation then opens the door to all kinds of sensitivities, allergies, and subsequent health problems.
At this point I'm convinced *completely* that if we get our food right, problems will stop & health will follow.
Unfortunately, it appears we would have to grow our own food or have a trusted local source.
People’s bodies respond differently to foods. Some people experience inflammation from oats and others don’t. They can’t be in a generalized statement. Sugar is something that everyone gets inflamed from. We kind of have to know how we respond and go from there.
I couldn’t make it to the end of the video because you displayed every sweet snack in the world ….
I’ve been addicted to sugar since a child. There is only one component that distinguishes from cocaine or sugar. That’s how addictive sugar is.
CINNAMON (helps cut cravings. Take it WITH food). I no longer crave sugar.
Just found this video/channel.
It has taken me about 8 years to break away myself and started a saga of questioning, to learn and understand EXACTLY every SINGLE point she is making!
Thank you, thank you. I KNEW I was onto something, and most people do not like my opinions on sugar or the reasons for their bad health.
I refuse to be a dependent or addict. Period.
I appreciate her simple plain raw truthful presentation of this information.
Thanks for feeding my mind with healthy information. Now i can feed my body with healthy food. Now I'm excited to share your information with friends. We all need to be healthier as we aged.
Nixtamalization actually increases your ability to absorb the nutrients from the corn. Also, you’re saying not to ferment foods to eat vinegar and vinegar is a byproduct of natural fermentation, which is why it taste good.
Wow! I had no idea! THANK YOU SOOOOOOOO MUCH for creating this video! 🙏🏾 ❤
Dr. Liu, your presentation skills and delivery are outstanding. If you ever need side hustle, you've got the talent. Great info too, and absolutely accurate. Especially relieving the guilt most people feel when trying to quit, how difficult it is to quit, while at the same offering the good news it's still possible with the simple method of replacing processed with whole foods. Plus Your choice of vocabulary, such as windpipe makes the message more accessible to a wider audience.
No sugar or carbs and I am no longer a diabetic nor have nerve damage hurting my feet .. I enjoy fermented foods and grass fed meats fruits and vegetables and lots of good fats ..
For people who do well without carbs there is no "healthy" form of sugars or carbs. And...we do not actually need to eat carbs at all.
Thank you so much for taking time to share your expertise. Very eye opening & informative!!!! 🌟🌟
This was a PHENOMENAL video-packed with information and clear explanations. I learned so much in these 13 minutes. First time here, but I found so much value in this video that I’m subscribing now. Thanks for sharing this information!
This is one of the most balanced and helpful videos ive seen in a while. Thank you for sharing
I love your videos! Thank you for taking the time to make them❤
You are welcome. So nice of you.
You said all that perfectly, it took me a life time to learn.
Thank you for those kind words.
People should line up to thank you for your truth and wisdom.
It can literally save a person's life.
Discovered all of this over time. It works!
Very Helpful Information. Thank You!
This video is incredible!! Thank you for this!
Thank you for your kind words.
Excellent information. Thanks 🙏🏼
This video is absolutely amazing.
Great to hear your comment on ‘it’s natural’.
When people try to sell me their product with ‘all natural ingredients’ I always think, ‘yeah bitter almonds is natural, so is poison ivy and snake venom’.
I'm not chasing sugar I just want a bowl of cake and ice cream sometimes 😂😂😂😂
This is a highly informative video! Thank you!
That was so informative! Thank you!🙏🏾
Super helpful!
This is terrific! Makes a lot of sense. Did well in last 2 1/2 years after a total knee replacement-no appetite for a while. I was repelled of what I learned about the chemicals in foods last year and lost 45 lbs. (I'm 205 now & 65 years young) I allowed the additions to return I'm fighting same battle again. I will bump up pool aerobics with working on machines and will take your advice.
Great! Keep your food whole and eat low cal, high water and high fiber foods first. 😋
I'm so glad I discovered this channel tonight
This was AMAZING!! PLEEEASE make more videos like this!
I'm guessing the "secret" is very brief because she's taking a REAALLY LONG TIME getting to the point. Also, Keto has helped me IMMENSELY. The only thing messing me up was the pervasiveness of sugars/carbs. Esp around holidays. Keto helped me lose weight fast, gave me energy, made it easy for me to intermittently fast, lowered blood sugar of course, ending nightly heartburn & leg cramps, made skin tags diminish, ended joint pain. I'll finish watching this in case she does have something useful for quitting sugar which really is super hard.
OMG.... SAME!!! Keto for me was a MAJOR TURNING POINT at age 65 (now 68). Intermittent fasting too. I was able to STOP sugar and carbs immediately. I do use stevia and allulose to appease my LOVE for dessert. But after doing keto for 2.5 years, I'm now on a MORE Mediterranean diet loosely... along with some GOOD habits I've developed along the way. I lost a cool 40 lbs (easily) having way more energy. I've added fruit in a limited way.
I wish I had known about it sooner.
I had a scary skin tag that was always inflamed, turning into a tumor. It is now just a tiny quiet scar. Other skin tags have vanished.
She REALLY hates Keto... but there are SO many ways to do keto. I did a version that emphasized whole foods, allowed fruit, lots of vegetables, and high-quality meat and eggs... lots of fiber with apple cider vinegar... and NOW we know that chilled then reheated carbs (rice and potatoes) become "resistant starch" that impacts blood sugar more favorably than "fresh cooked, hot off the stove". So now I include a little bit of those "forbidden" carbs.
I can now burn fat instead of storing it or having it clog up my system. It's a matter of the situation of when and where it's ingested.
She erroneously stated that "we need carbs to survive"...which is wrong because we can produce carbs internally by breaking down protein and producing it in our liver.
I've been keto 9 years and still going strong. Skin tags come from insulin resistance. Once fix that with either keto, ketovore or carnivore, you're insulin sensitive and the tags disappear. Try gymnema to avoid anything sweet. It makes anything sweet taste terrible on your tongue and you won't want to eat it! Check out Dr. Berg on this and everything else. He's an expert on keto and natural remedies on YT.
Me too!
@pheresy1367 That must be why Dr. Berg and his wife are surviving and thriving. They stay on keto, and have been on it for years.
Maybe you can quit your whining habit now. Good luck.
Excellent video. So well explained, with moments of levity and zingers perfectly inserted. Loved it and am inspired. Thank you!
Excellent-very informative. Thank you!
Great info! Thanks!
I just started buffering sugar lately like you said. I started eating beans or meat etc. before allowing myself to eat sweets.
I am 3:39 into this and she is just repeating and repeating and repeating what we already know. I came here for "The Secret To Quitting Sugar For Good!"
Exactly. I wondered if I missed the secret part. This is about why not to eat it and not to get addicted in the first place, nothing about how to quit that I saw.
Thank you! Now I can spend my precious time on a different video.
She DID say it: eat natural foods WITH fiber, that is, foods that contain fiber. Stay away from ultra-processed foods.
She gave the answer by 3:58... How impatient can you be??
CINNAMON.
I have it daily in my oatmeal (first meal of the day, with apple, blueberries, nuts, yogurt & raw honey) and NEVER crave sugar (I used to). It cuts cravings and lowers blood sugar levels.
(Lots of great, informative comments here, with tips!). Good Luck!!
Thanks for the great info❤
Thank you I NEEDED THIS 🎉
Thanks again for this information. I’m so happy to hear that I do not need to cutout sugar from my diet with natural whole foods. I was turned off by the idea that fruits are also bad because of sugar. I am healthy but the extremes that others go to cut off sugar is not my thing. Thanks sharing with the community
Best vid on the subject I've seen. Well done.
Thanks for your kind words.
@@Healthyimmunedoc just discovered you. U have a new subscriber!
Wow! You said so much here. I already knew the info, after years of trying different foods & ways of eating & becoming a nutrition health coach. But, I am impressed how much great information you included. I hope this gets to the people who need it most. Take care.
I’m a nurse and have watched a lot of health videos of late. This one is the most clear, concise and thorough information I have found about sugar. Even though I appreciate the benefits of Keto, I have long felt that it ultimately neglects necessary elements of nutrition while still pushing sugar substitutes which can be just as dangerous as sugar if not more. I really appreciate this video and have shared it on my social media. Thanks!
Thankyou , very encouraging.
Thank you for your kind words. 😊
Great presentation, thank you. Straight, concise, factual and to the point, well done.
Not concise
Wow, I just discovered your channel. Thank you! So clear and straightforward and understandable. Love it. Will definitely come back for more!
Thank you for clearing that up.I was so confused
Best explanation I've ever heard. The sour/bitter explanation makes a lot of sense, too. I like that you gave us substitutes to our substitutes. And, thank you for calling out the ketogenic diet as a metabolism DECREASER, contrary to all the gimic commercials with those two fake models.
All the truth; no easy fix... Thanks for wonderful informative video. Wish there were more psychological tactics to beat it
I absolutely love your persona, woman! You speak blatant truth and speak the way I do. I could learn alot here. Subscribed.
Thank you for the encouragement and sharing your knowledge.
Hey lady. I was sitting by myself when your video popped up. I started watching and now all I want is a big fat slice of cake. 😂😂😂
No but seriously, thank you for your service putting this video out.
Thank you for explaining the whole situation. It’s not about avoiding sugar, but how to eat it.
This is bad advice
Hmmm????
I think you mean the TYPE of sugar. It's okay to have some fruit as it's surrounded by fibre and other important nutrients. Just don't juice it or have it dehydrated or from tins (sorry to all the preppers out there!). According to some scientists you should only have something sweet (meaning fruit or a small not-too-sugar-filled dessert) 20 minutes AFTER consuming a meal of protein and vegetables. It works even better if you have the vegetables as an entree course, 10-20 minutes before the protein. If has been shown to slow down the sugar spikes in your blood if you eat in this order.
Thank you! I shared this with my family.
This was great information laid out easy to understand and implement! Thank you
So happy to have found you.
Thank you for taking the time to provide such a comprehensive comment on H-Lab.
Looking forward to watching more of you.
I lost 73 pounds six years ago on a low carb diet.
Since the stresses of 2020, I have out 30 pounds back on.
I need to re-adjust my foods.
this may sound bizarre but Inflammation is more of a factor for many, if not most people. I started doing a mushroom coffee back in July and within the first five weeks I lost 8 pounds, and am down 13 pounds so far. Weight loss was not expected! I was just curious about better “gut health”, etc.
there is a definite connection between inflammation and insulin resistance!
RYZE Organic Mushroom Blend (Cordyceps, Lion's Mane, Reishi, Shiitake, Turkey Tail, King Trumpet), Organic MCT Oil, Organic Arabica Coffee
Try everyday dose it's so much better
@@jackiesicilian5720 what is your actual experience? I'm really curious
Mushroom coffee, tastes great helps me feel alive in the mornings, no residue left in the cup.
that's good - anything specific about the effects? I've never had residue (as if that's a problem) and I do cold shower (Ishnaaan) and yoga to feel 'alive' before drinking Ryze or eating anything. Addiction to anything external is something to be avoided. @@jackiesicilian5720

I guit alcohol thinking it would help with my sugar addiction. It got worse. My doctor yelled at me as he thought I wanted Wegovy. He gave me a prescription. I didn’t want that so I have NOT picked it up. Sugar will still be waiting for me. I was so mad at my doctor….I quit sugar! It has only been two weeks but I thank you for this video. The video is very triggering …all the photos and cartoons…my mouth started watering. … staying strong, trying to listen . Thank you for your kindness and understanding! It is real! People need to understand. It is so serious!!!!!
You need to find a new doctor. Doctors shouldn't be assholes but unfortunately some are.
Stay in there. It's hard but it gets even harder if you let the sugar creep back in. If you have a small amount of sugar, you'll end up craving it even more. It's best to avoid it altogether.
I've only been on a keto diet for a month now and boy, what a difference it has made to my energy levels and brain fog.
Unfortunately it hasn't cured or eased up on everything else (including pain in my extremities; IBS frequency and aggression; an increasing inability to swallow; sinus problems that make me 1/4 deaf due to the fluid in my ears; numbing and 'frostbite' feelings in my feet that keep me awake for hours at night; and poor mental health) but at least I'm making headway.
As long as we keep looking forward and take one step at a time I'm sure we'll see great results eventually.
@@loverlyme you be strong !!! It is crazy that sugar is not more of a 5 alarm fire as some people like me seem to be hardwired to self destruction with sugar. It is only been 2 months now….feeling strong but can tell this will never be cured for me. I can not allow it back, ever. thank you for the support
Great video! So much good info! Thank you! 😄
Thank you! This is a blessing! ❤❤❤
I read “Sugar Blues” back in the last century. That’s all I needed to inspire me to live sugarless.
Best book!! I tell people this book scared me off sugar while also educating me.
Can you post the link to that book please?
Checking at my Library😊
Oh wow! I read Sugar Blues which was recommended by Dr Neil Nedley. That's how I was able to quit sugar in 2009
I was listening to T. L. Osborne preach back in the 80's this was the one time I saw him. His sermon was on eat it like God packaged it. I think that is just what you said here.
I’ve never watched him but yes. Eat from the Garden of Eden.
Best sugar/carb advice Ive ever heard!
This was a really helpful video. I like your presence and your style.
