For me it’s sugar and alcohol. Less of those 2 things and I naturally eat less junk, sleep better, look better in my body, better skin, have more energy and a clearer mind!
Omg THANK YOU! Finally someone saying this! Sugar used to be my gateway drug too and especially as someone struggling with bulimia, quitting sugar is one of the things that really helped me dodging the binge eating attacks. I don't get why nowadays you almost get cancelled for saying that sugar is really not doing anything for you and your body than a quick dopamine rush... It is the truth!
I think the reason why so many people seem to be hyper sensitive about any type of good dietary change that you do is because the body positivity movement is now backed up by companies who actively lobby to keep us eating their high calorie high sugar foods. We have an obesity epidemic but if you dare point out that eating yourself to death is not good you get cancelled like????
Another tip I have when it comes to food is to consider what the purpose of eating such a food is. If you're about to eat lunch and you go for the croissant, ask yourself "why am I eating this?" If it's for sustainance, then the croissant probably isn't the right choice. But if you're at a birthday party and grab a slice of cake, the answer is 'celebratory'. Then when you go back for another slice of cake, you can say 'well I've already eaten my celebratory slice of cake.' I found mindfully thinking about the purpose of what I was eating meant I ate healthy meals and food, while simultaneously being able to let myself enjoy a limited range of sweets when I went out for something special. I would use three categories: sustainance, celebratory, and boredom as an example
I’ve always believed unhealthy food should be used as a special treat, like I’m not going to have desert every day but if I’m at the fair I’ll have a churro for the experience. But as I’ve gotten older and life is more stressful, there’s more and more “treats” creeping in. Like a croissant on Saturday morning, and cookies to go with my tea at night as a relaxing treat, then an olipop or ice coffee in the afternoon as a treat to get me through the work day, it’s not boredom, it’s like a reward but I feel I need them all the time now, it’s hard to untangle when I should really have those treats when I do work really hard all week. If you have any advice I’d love to hear it!
The people who get mad at you for having strict boundaries around sugar either: 1) have such a healthy relationship with food/sugar, they can’t fathom compulsive eating and why some us need strict boundaries 2) have an unhealthy relationship with food/sugar and are in deep denial of their own addiction
For everyone saying sugar doesn’t harm at all… when you eat enough sugar that it spikes your blood sugar the sugar attaches to your collagen protein and destroy it through a process called glycation effectively aging you. If you can handle moderation awesome but I am 100% in the same boat of it being like an addiction. 😅
Former Type 2 Diabetic here and I can confirm with you that sugar is the enemy. Once I weaned myself off consuming an abundance of sugar (not all of it, but a whole lot) and carbohydrates, the blood sugar was lowered in no time flat and today the diabetes and kidney disease are in complete remission. For that I'm grateful and I'm never going back. Great video, by the way.
So nice to hear that your diabetes is in remission. I'm a sugar addict/binge eater and I'm really working at changing my eating habits. I've had raised sugars in a fasting blood test. I do not want to crossover into diabetes 2 just because I just HAD to have minute or 2 of pleasure while eating sugar and lot's of junk food.
Sugar is the enemy , no need sugar coating it for them sis , I use to eat a dozen of snickers when I was younger, my skin and body looked so horrible when I look back at old pictures, now that I’m older knowing I’m a sugar tooth I had to figure out how to make healthy snacks 😭 now my skin and body be popping
@@yumihara14ofc you had to racialize it, she looks more like a barbie because she’s skinnier. bratz dolls aren’t all black, there’s four of them with different races and they’re thick, not skinny
@@feefs2139 pff ikr. I'm Japanese and I don't really understand neither mindset nor grammar of "whining over even a compliment" thing of westerners 🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️ I'm from a country MAJORITY of people are in love with white skin and almost hate dark skin tones. And even this couldn't make me hate on any color cause me as an individual can have unique or different thoughts from my people. But some Americans/foreigners really CAN make me feel like "never mind maybe I shouldn't" with their overly ridiculously sensitive reactions.
@@yumihara14That last statement was really telling of your mindset. If you’re the kind of person to revoke your allyship to dark skinned people of color because someone on the internet annoyed you, then it wasn’t real to begin with. Your initial comment was meant as a compliment and because of certain racial stereotypes within the US that you might not be privy to, someone took it offensively. Instead of stepping back and acknowledging that there might be more for you to learn in this situation, you choose to lash out & threaten to revoke your support. Things like that shouldn’t be conditional. I can understand your frustration when you meant no harm but that response still isn’t right.
Sugar is very, very inflammatory. Didn’t realize why I had lower back pain even in my teen years until cutting the processed junk. When I fell off the wagon the back pain came back. Direct correlation.
I just started my journey again today. I feel like I can't control myself. Eating a little is never enough. I have to go completely without. I would sit here and look at my children and think I'm about to let sugar take me out of their lives. That's how bad it got. When you cry about something that has so much control over you, you have to really sit and think about your choices.
Agree Sometimes i just eat it and regret it right after as if i was possessed 😂😂 omg it s a struggle, i have been doing better recently , i bought lot of fruit that i like, i make a fruit salad when i need the sweetness, im not 100% now but it s waaaay better then before and i don’t feel so tired in the morning like i used to feel before Keep trying, don’t give up we have little souls that needs us 💐
I stopped eating sugar last year, but at Christmas time I couldn't stop, so I tried this year again. It was way easier and my skin became so much clearer than before. I'm not missing sugar anymore. If I taste those sweets I'm personally thinking, that it's kinda too sweet, so I don't even like it anymore. Thank you for your videos ^^
How long did u deprive yourself of sugar till you got to the point that you dislike it? Did u also eliminate fruit sugar, dates, raisins & artificial sweeteners? I'm just getting so hopeless! lol
@@SG-xb7de from what ive seen, you can still eat fruits. as for sweeteners, it depends, some people say it activates their cravings the same way sugar does while others say it helps
I am absolutely demonizing sugar. No one in their RIGHT MIND can honestly say sugar is good for you in any sense. Sure, you can still lose weight and eat sugar, but it is a major setback, and it depends on individual genetics, how much weight you have to lose, how much sugar you are eating and what method you are using to lose weight.
I actually LOVE this advice. Obviously, different things will work for different people, but I tried this same thing and it worked for me. I went one month without excess added sugar and I mainly focused on cutting out sweets. By the end of the month, I couldn't even finish a small ice cream because it was too sweet for me. I had to get rid of the addiction first before I could really focus on eating healthier. It also got a lot easier to not eat sugar that month because I made the decision to just not have any. When I saw something sweet, I didn't have to use my willpower to make a decision whether or not to eat it, I just knew that I had already made the choice to not even consider eating it, so it didn't take as much discipline
this morning i had an awful binge on sugary foods and right now ive decided that i’ll quit sugar for a while until my i can learn how to control myself, i was able to go sugar free for two months and honestly i should do it again. its kinda heard especially as a 16 years still living at home, and yk social events, people pressuring you and stuff.
Everyone has different priorities in life, different bodies and behaviours around food too. Once I realised I can’t base my food decisions on what others are doing, I was able to give my body what I truly needed. Hope this helps 💜
It took me a long time to realize I do use sugar as a crutch. I really understand when you say sugar is there whenever I’m sad or happy or stressed,… trying to distract or redirect my emotions into other things besides sweets.
Perfect timing! I had such an unhealthy relationship with sugar my entire life and now that I'm older and know better, I am attempting to rid of it. Unfortunately, my body is extremely adjusted to it. In ways I'm not scientifically aware of, but I can feel. My body is so adapted to using it as energy and a dopamine release, I LITERALLY crash without it. (like a drug addict or something)
I can see how some people, sugar isn’t a big deal to them but from someone with adhd which makes my brain always crave outside sources of dopamine + addictive personality I cannot have it casually without depending on it, I lost 25-30 pounds cutting out fast food,chips and candy. this year I wanted to take a step further to cut out added sugar and have it on special occasions in moderation (like my birthday, certain holidays) that’s what I found works for me and then eventually I just wont even want sugar, the more I have it the more I crave it it’s the truth. ur channel helps me so much sugar has no nutritional value and does not serve us to have every day couple times a year at most or even not at all u aren’t demonizing it it is the truth.
I'm 60 pounds overweight, have been since the middle of my teens, but jn the last 1,5 months I've lost 10 poundd and am feeling more moticated than ever to keep going and I could've never gotten this far without people on the i ternet saying the things overweight people don't wanna hear
i've been exercising and eating healthy my whole life, never had a sweet tooth either but last month i moved to a new city for university and somehow being alone for the first time and the consequent stress sent me into a sugar craze, i ate so much sweets and gained even more weight after the holidays :/ so yes i need to clean my brain from this sugar fixation because it doesn't even satisfy me and it makes me crave for more. i totally understand your point, for some people it's hard to reduce sugar intake gradually and they need to cut it off completely at least for a while. I'm rewatching a lot of your videos for tips so thank you
a problem i have usually is that i freak out about "missing" the food, like if my mom were to make unhealthy food, i feel bad about not eating it and feel as if i'll miss it; or if she gives me candy, i usually have to eat it unless my little sister does first. i now notice i shouldnt be panicking over this and that at anytime, i can just buy it for myself later. it isnt going anywhere.
I FEEL THE EXACT SAME WAY!! I have FOMO with food! I've slowly been solving this issue once I realized I had FOMO with food, but it's crazy to know I'm not alone!
Wow, what a brilliant video! I just gave up sugar for lent (40 days and 40 nights) and I was so excited for it to be over, but now it's over I don't really fancy sugar as much as I used to. I'm not craving it anymore. This really works, and I'm going to stay off the sugar for now x
My family nickname was "sugar junkie". If I can overcome a toxic relationship with chocolate, honestly anyone can. You can do it. I work in health and the scientific evidence is now compelling, too much added sugar, artificial sweeteners, ultra processed foods, can lead to weight gain and serious disease. Thank you for sharing this Jade and here's to a diet rich in healthy foods and a bright future.
I subbed because your flat honesty is what all of us need. I am 9 months pregnant but I agree with you totally. I am not overweight but I struggle with sugar. Your body struggles are so relatable to me. I needed someone that wasn’t overweight but not necessarily their best self. Looking at you makes me realize what I am missing out on. My best self is just on the other side of this sugar addiction.
You are wise beyond your years! I am so addicted! 53 years old, overweight at the worst possible time of life, and I honestly am convinced I'm the only person who struggles with it because I'm in denial and find all the reasons why I can't stop as well as, 'I'll start tomorrow or after this huge bag of MMS is gone (which is the end.of today....not tomorrow!). How aggravating this is. I'm not addicted to Lima beans! I can easily live without tripe and tofu! I wish I thought about sugar like I do those things. Thank you for spending your time making a lovely video. I think I have found a little more courage.
Loved the video! This is exactly what I needed to hear. I’ve been putting off cutting sugar because of this moderation mindset but this easter made me realize moderation is not for me, not with sugar. Quitting sugar from this second on, at least until I lose some weight (for both aesthetics and my health)
I appreciate how real this is though. You're not beating around the bush/ just telling people what they want to hear. Definitely struggling with this and have started doing more zero candy/ chips months and I feel a lot more in control of my habits.
0:50 thank you! i am surrounded by ppl like that, who can eat a piece of chocolate and leave the rest. and who can’t understand why i have to quit sugar cold turkey. it’s like, if it’s in the house, i am eating it. if i start eating it, will eat the whole thing that is in front of me. but if i decide not to consume it, i will not crave or eat it at all.
i literally have no words to say.. you're so amazing and inspiring. you just cannot imagine how much you've helped me with my own eating habits & workouts. no words just THANK YOU
Thank you for saying this!! Everyone around me seems to downplay how badly we eat and it’s really hard to get the last 30lbs off my body when I hear this daily and even my husband encourages me to eat badly knowing I’m trying to stay on track. For me if it’s not sugar, then it’s chips/snacks or just pizza and processed foods. I know what you eat matters because after 3 kids I was thin and back down to my high school weight mostly because of good food choices. I know I can get there again!
This is definitely where I’m at on my journey of being healthier. I’ve been trying to swap out for healthier things, but even that like it’s a rabbit hole
Thank you for being real. I agree with everything. Limiting sugar was hard at first, but I got over it and it seriously has helped me adopt a healthy diet and lifestyle. I’ve lost weight naturally and I don’t even crave processed foods or sugar anymore. I developed the mindset of eating nourishing foods that satiate me and benefit my health
Wow thank u ! I’m 19 5’4 190 pounds 😢 it’s hard for me to not eat sugar even when I get EBT I buy a BUNCH OF JUNK FOOD & SUGAR it’s so hard but now im gonna have my staff put my EBT card away locked up in my bin then going out to eat less ! Making healthy choices it’s gonna be hard but I’ll try ! And since it’s already Jan. 23 , 2024 and I’m watching this at 6:33 pm I already ate my sugar and lunch and dinner so I’ll start tomorrow! Jan . 24 .2024 I can’t wait thank u smm I’ll come back in a couple weeks and keep u updated I know that’s my problem bc when I went to my moms and ate healthy I lost no lie 5 pounds in 3 days I gotta do this thank u sm ❤
I hope you’ll come back to give some news ! It is really hard and you’ll probably fail along the way, what is more important is to always come back and try again or try different. Just get back on track and trust yourself 🫶
I agree with you, just because cutting out sugar doesn’t work for someone or just because sugar isn’t a demon to someone doesn’t mean it isn’t one for someone else. I have the demon of sugar cravings chasing after me and it hurts so bad. I always gain many pounds from sugar and have sugar cravings very often. Sugar is definitely an enemy for most even if someone tries to deny it and there are also some people who yes they need more sugar in the diets. Thanks for posting these videos and always giving the truth and never SUGARcoating it lol 😂
Thank you so much Ms.Rose! I've been struggling with both sugar and sodium lately, and I really needed this. I can't really eat processed foods in moderation without wanting more. You are the best. May god bless you!
When I cut out all sugar except fresh fruit for 5 months I realized how listening to my body when it was hungry and satiated was actually supposed to work. I feel like it’s something we should all do once. If sugar’s not a problem, give it up for a few weeks and go back to it. What’s the harm in going without, if there’s no side effects but possible withdrawal from the thing you thought you weren’t addicted to? Lol
90% of what I ate had sugar and I was still able to weigh 104 lbs. Still, I know sugar is bad and since I have an autoimmune disease, sugar causes me inflammation and it's why I have started cutting off sugar. So is it possible to eat A TON of sugar and still be thin? Yes. Is it healthy? No.
Exactly, you're saying the truth. People just don't get that sugar is the gateway drug! All my eating problems stemmed from sugar. Now I can enjoy 1 pot of veggie stew with good carbs from root veggies and leaves, feeling much better with constant weight.
I appreciate your nuance when it comes to your experience with sugar. While moderations works for some, it doesn’t work for others, and both are okay. What matters is experimenting and finding what works best for you. What worked for me personally was not to treat sugar as “bad” (therefore it would create “forbidden apple syndrome” and I’d crave it more). Rather, I treated it as unnecessary and easily replaceable with something that had more nutritious value (like fruit and the vitamins/fiber that comes with them). But I can’t treat my experience as proof that moderation works for everyone, especially considering that sugar does have addictive qualities to many people. Thanks for your video. 😊
10:55 I find its also a mental game. If you mentally focus on how much you want it, how tasty it would be, it becomes overwhelming. Try to tell yourself over and over I don't eat sugar anymore, I don't really want to eat this it's how I cope, and my plans and dreams for weight loss are more important. Imagine yourself at your goal.
❤thank you so much for this...being autistic and ADHD together and JUST FOUNDING OUT SO LATE, SUGAR IS MY DRUG AND ITS SO HARD AND NO ONE TAUGHT ME TO EAT WELL. I DIDNT KNOW HOW MUCH WORK GOES INTO REALLY LEARNING WHAT OUR BODY NEEDS ESP WHEN WE HAVE MENTAL DISORDERS,, THIS IS SO HARD BEING ALONE T.Y. FOR THIS
Thank you so much Jade. Im struggling with fat loss for a year now, there were many up and downs while trying out different strategies like intermittent fasting but non of them worked for me. It wasn’t even the „lack of discipline“, sugar completely ruins your self control and it’s literally impossible to manage that, especially when you’re in a calorie deficit and still eating sweets. I recently found out that sugar was really the problem, because I often find myself craving for at least a peace of chocolate after a balanced meal, that‘s supposed to make me feel satisfied without wanting sugar after. I’ve been struggling this week by eating an amount of sugar that makes me feel bad (physically) and not even satisfied. You just feel tired after few minutes and get an energy crash, because of the insulin that shoots up and down. This in turn means that you don't feel like doing anything because you feel tired and exhausted. And later everything starts over again. I’m sick of it and want to change this bad habit, even if it’s going to be really hard. Especially when being around family or friends. Thank you Jade, you always post your videos at the right time.
Nipping that tempting thought in the butt right away instead of letting it mess with you is great advice, I’m going to work on this mental trick with other issues I’m facing. Also I hate that our own family don’t believe in us, they have it imbedded in their psyche that we will be fat forever, following the family curse.. i just can’t deal with them sometimes, it’s so important to know this Thank you!
I completely agree. It's not about giving up sugar forever, it's about temporarily cutting it out until you are able to maintain moderation, for those who have spent long periods of their lives consuming it in excess. Thank you for sharing. :)
You hit the nail on the head with how sugar affects you. I’m the same way. I can just eat a small bite of something and put it away. I end up killing the rest not evan an hour later then it triggers a junk food binge. I have learned that I can’t do sweets, cakes, cookies and carbs. Im on week 2 of cutting them out and opting for healthier options
Thank you so much for this video! I used to be a major sugar addict and it is why I had gained so much weight. Sugar only makes you crave more sugar so best believe my sugar addiction was bleeding into binging. I would buy a family sized bag of jalapeno chips and eat the entire bag plus half a box of cheezits and a hearty dinner without counting my serving of rice on the side and *no greens*. I would take candies from every complimentary basket I could find (I was a college senior at my biggest) and my pockets at any given time were full of candy wrappers. I’m talking…at least 5 fun sized candies per pocket. I am almost 30lbs down from my biggest and 23lbs away from my goal weight. Biggest thing for me was actually starting to track calories and cutting everything out completely until I had the willpower to eat it again. I can now safely have cheezits in my house and eat one serving (or two) while watching tv and put the box away. Tracking calories and seeing my macros saved me. I realized the sweets and snacks were so many calories for so little sustenance, I was eating so much but still constantly hungry. Hearing other’s stories with sugar addiction makes me feel vindicated and it makes me feel less alone. So thank you so so much. The girls that get it, get it.
I’ve been on keto for a little over a week, going on two weeks and have stuck to a strict diet and I already see a difference (without exercise). I don’t plan on staying in keto permanently, but it’s amazing what your body will go through once you cut sugar. I also wonder what will happen if I stick to keto and incorporate exercise. Don’t get me wrong, it’s been tough. Some days I just want to indulge, but I’ve come so far and do not want to ruin it because I can’t have at cookie. I look and feel better. My skin behaves better, my gut feels better and I’m losing belly fat. I feel like people have to come to a point where they simply have had enough of the same poor behaviors. I got tired of complaining about myself, tired of feeling guilty for over indulging, totally tired of the gut issues, etc. I got more desperate for change than sugar. It’s possible and if you want it badly enough, you’ll make it happen. 🙏🏾
Thank you so much for this video! I can 100% agree and have the same “addiction” to sugar… I often was successful quitting sugar but always come to this point sometimes where I had these “conversations” with myself and failed. I will try your trick to stop the “conversation” before it really started. I think that could be the key. Thank you for this 🙏🏻
First & foremost, you are absolutely beautiful. You are telling the truth. Your video happened into my feed & right as you speak I’m struggling with sugar addiction. Your advice is what I know, but hearing you saying it confirms & helps so much. I will definitely take your advice. Thank you.
This is my relationship with sugar exactly! I have been having blood pressure issues here and there and guess what sends my blood pressure up? Sugar! as long as I control my sugar intake I literally can eat as much salt as I want.
The nip it in the bud technique sounds super helpful. I def ask myself whether i should go eat seconds or eat dessert when im not even hungry. Im SO going to try it.
Personally for me, I struggle with binge eating disorder. And the root of binging started in my black and white mindset. 'Either go all in or screw it all'.. In supermarkets I'd tell myself not to get certain foods, because I'd binge. And then I realized, 'if I keep listening to that thought, I'm kind of manifesting it, aren't I?'. So what did I do? I started exposing myself to it. I literally bought ALL the sugary snacks, the foods that I CRAVE but couldn't eat without feeling bad for it. And that feeling of guilt that followed up, even if I had a small hand of candy, or a bit of chocolate LED me to binge. So I started allowing myself to have it. And now I can live with snacks in the house. I corporate small bits in my diet, such as a piece of chocolate along with my breakfast and 2 other (sugary) snacks that can either be fruit, a cookie, or a piece of chocolate. IN MODERATION. Whatever I'm craving, I'll allow myself to eat it! But obviously not the whole pack in one sitting with the excuse 'I can eat so much of this, because I'm allowing myself to.' Because let's be honest, eating the whole thing in one go makes you feel ABSOLUTELY miserable lol. Some day I really want to work up to the point where you are, but currently I'm still healing my relationship with food. Thank you for this video, Jade.
as someone who was 94 pounds and only ate sugar. i was so unhealthy. 😭 idk why but healthier foods helped me gain weight and i feel sm better. was so addicting. im glad i stopped
this is some amazing advice. i generally eat pretty healthy and i'm not overweight, but the past few days i've been emotionally binging and need to stop!
I literally have been constantly pleading. My fascination was sugar and a possible dictionary. I've gone off of sugar. Just even sugary drinks juice mainly. I don't really drink soda. I can control that meaning it could go a whole year and I wouldn't want but juice is a struggle for me. I'd try not to even buy it and put it in the house. I think sometimes it's hard when you live with people. Because people bring temptation along with them ice cream cake. Lovett my weakness and chocolate with nuts in it. My weakness candy not so much. I can cut back but juice is definitely one thing. I want to drink less really if I could drink. Milk you said all and only eat fruits when wanting sugar. Because fruits are healthy. That would be the best thing for me. Always struggle to lose Wait even though I stay in the gym. For my body type. I need to be strict and now compromising.
I want to share my experience! I too had a problem with sugar. I also didn’t understand how people could take a bite out of a candy bar and put it away for later. I don’t think I have ever been able to go more than 2-3 days without any sugar or flour…. I know it can sound a little extreme but I decided to cut out sugar and flour. I ate 3 large meals a day, and made a no snacking rule for myself. I ate real, whole foods. Around week 3 my cravings peaked and I gave in. I had pasta. Went another 2 weeks. I gave in and had cake and ice cream. But I was still losing weight! I kept going but decided to have one or two cheat meals per week and that’s what’s been working the best for me. I’m still losing weight but I’m also finding out that my body REALLY likes healthy food, even thought it’s a little bland and boring. When I eat something like pasta, pizza or cake, it tastes really good for the first 3-4 bites but then it starts to suck. My stomach feels very nauseated for the next 3 hours and I feel like I could throw up. I realize that sugar and flour taste good (at least for a minute) but my body really hates it. I can’t believe I used to eat it every single day. It’s definitely leading to so many diseases and early death. I think taking at least a 3-4 week break from all sugar and flour is so helpful to get a hold on it, and to build a better relationship with food. But of course I’m just speaking from my own experience!
Your gorgeous! Sugar and vegetable seed oils are super inflammatory and addicting...Ive reversed my autoimmune problem with carnivore...eat lots of fatty meat and have zero cravings❤
a sugar addiction is one of the hardest things to get rid of because it’s EVERYWHERE. as someone who is underweight everyone tells me i don’t need to go on a diet or cut sugar from my diet because i need the extra calories, so they just shove food in my face. but they don’t understand that it’s not helping me become healthier
I wish it was easy to cut out sugar, but well it isnt for most ppl. But one thing that helped me reduce the cravings and the binge eating is having 3 full meals and 1 snack a day. For example if I crave something with chocolate, I usually have a high protein yoghurt with my chocolate in it. Like this I have a snack that is filling and fulfilling, Instead of eating a whole chocolate bar and still being hungry after.
I’ve increased fat (whole milk, olive oil, butter not marg etc) and protein (freshly cooked meat, eggs…) and have started losing weight because I’m more satisfied and have longer lasting energy rather than sugary quick hit sources of fuel. You’re absolutely right.
This was a good video. About a week ago I decided that I’m done with sugar which over the years since I had so many ups and downs… coming out of a down it was easy to do. I wasn’t in a horrid spot lol I’ve seen worse of myself but the things that I would do is eat a lot of the same things like popcorn and cashews like even if it was healthy but gave me the comfort food vibe that has been stalking me. So on top of the no more sugar I eliminated the things that make me want them as well as the corn syrups no more corn no more popcorn even sorghum. Not buying it to bring in the house anymore. If I happen to have a little while out I will so it’s not torture and it’s not something I’ll plan for… it’ll be on occasion and rare. Thanks for your vid just wanted to share my tip to
I ve been addicted to sugar for at least 25years ,90%of my daily diet was sugary food.So I can completely relate what you are talking about.And my personality is very all or nothing,no room for moderation😢So thank you for making me realize what's the best solution.Day 1 of no sugar diet❤
For me i didn't cut out sugar entirely i just cut back and it's worked for me thus far, but i do understand that some people just can't help themselves and should probably quite cold turkey.
You are so relatable. I love sugar. It’s difficult to give it up. I only want to loose a little bit of fat, and recomp my body. I know sugar is my weakness.
i am a 2 year uni-student, very active parliamentary debater & adjudicator (a horrid, mentally crazy sport) with depression and anxiety disorder. everytime i finish a competition no matter the result is, i am so used with the mindset i should reward myself - and i would buy boba. i would eat ice creams, sweet sweet coffee, whenever i'm so depressed but i can't miss a meeting, or i have an exam. TO ME, SUGAR IS A DRUG. i managed to like start a routine to cut it off. but whenever i get into really tiring weeks or episodes, i fall right over again. thank you so much for the video, thank you God for popping it up on my recommendations.
Thanks for this. I have been self sabotaging my weight loss goals for years. I am sooo tired of it. I don’t eat those things all the time, I don’t drink soda. I use stevia most of the time. But I am a weekend sugar binger. I don’t have any of the diseases that my family has like diabetes etc. But my bloodwork says I am borderline. I want to lose around 20-25lbs THIS YEAR! Will I cut sugar out completely? Prob not, but this video helps me be even more mindful. I rarely go to fast food restaurants. So that helps. I read labels so that helps too. My challenge is to not allow my Friday treat turn into a Saturday and Sunday treat, many calories and much sugar. I like grapes, I decided not to get the candy bar today just because I had calories left over. I do agree sugar is not good for us, many of us are addicted to it and must get it under control. THANKS FOR THIS VIDEO.
Okay so, I actually didn't expect that I'll relate SO MUCH to this video. Like, really. I'm still a minor living with my family and in our household sugar is available 24/7 and It's craazy. If I eat something unhealthy quick, the next day there will be 5 times more on the table than there were before. And It's really hard to resist the urge and just not eat it. It'll be 2 years since I've been struggling with food. At first, I was also overeating and food was like an escape for me and it still, in some way, is. Magically, the overeating problem dissappeared but it took me a really long time. I have still a huge problem with sugar, though. And it really bothers me. I just don't know what to do. The fun fact is that I'm technically "skinny" but that doesn't mean I don't hate myself for eating sugar so much. It's not normal. I just don't know how to quit and since in 5 days Christmas are here it's even worse. There's just so much sweets everyday and if I told my family they would just make fun of me like they do everytime. So I feel like I'm all alone by myself on this and maybe that's why everytime I try but everytime I fail.
Look, your channel is helping a lot to people who are ignorant and are trying to fight against ourselves to have better self-esteem, health and make better decisions about our health and that of others. The truth is, the world hates being told the truth because It is hard to accept and the things that are worth it in life are the most difficult to achieve, unfortunately it is difficult but not impossible to overcome the addiction to sugar because the most affordable food on the street has it and you have to resist, I hope and this message reaches everyone who needs it, no matter how minimal it is, it is worth making the effort every day, it can be improved even more until we reach the goal of having control over ourselves and living in peace and fullness with our body and mind.
I went to an older person's group and the first thing they do is give you a coffee👍 Then they put the biggest wedge of cake in front of me. No thank you I said. I'm going out for a meal with my neighbours, I'm taking a low carb roll for them to put a quarter pounder in. X
I’ve been doing whole30 for at least a month every year for seven years now… it’s honestly such a great practice to try and eat no added sugar for a bit just to like realize how crap our grocery stores are and realize how much self control you can have ahah

Sometimes we have that one bad habit that if we can fix causes a domino effect and improves other areas of our lives. For me it’s sugar and alcohol. Less of those
2 things and I naturally eat less junk, sleep better, look better in my body, better skin, have more energy and a clearer mind!
Omg THANK YOU! Finally someone saying this! Sugar used to be my gateway drug too and especially as someone struggling with bulimia, quitting sugar is one of the things that really helped me dodging the binge eating attacks. I don't get why nowadays you almost get cancelled for saying that sugar is really not doing anything for you and your body than a quick dopamine rush... It is the truth!
Literally!!
wdym finally
Jesus loves you ❤
@@andrearico-mb5lrAmen🙏🏽❤
I think the reason why so many people seem to be hyper sensitive about any type of good dietary change that you do is because the body positivity movement is now backed up by companies who actively lobby to keep us eating their high calorie high sugar foods. We have an obesity epidemic but if you dare point out that eating yourself to death is not good you get cancelled like????
The habit of eating snacks and not even remembering them being eaten...It felt comforting to hear someone else say they have experience with such
Ikr! I felt that I was the only one, because no in my life eating snacks like that! I feel so seen!
Another tip I have when it comes to food is to consider what the purpose of eating such a food is. If you're about to eat lunch and you go for the croissant, ask yourself "why am I eating this?" If it's for sustainance, then the croissant probably isn't the right choice. But if you're at a birthday party and grab a slice of cake, the answer is 'celebratory'. Then when you go back for another slice of cake, you can say 'well I've already eaten my celebratory slice of cake.' I found mindfully thinking about the purpose of what I was eating meant I ate healthy meals and food, while simultaneously being able to let myself enjoy a limited range of sweets when I went out for something special.
I would use three categories: sustainance, celebratory, and boredom as an example
This is a really great point, thank you!
One is need, two is greed. I've been watching fat friends on Netflix and I got some work to do!
This example REALLY illustrates your point and maybe people have tried to say something to this effect, but your example makes it sink in. Thank you!
Thank you for sharing this. It's so useful.
I’ve always believed unhealthy food should be used as a special treat, like I’m not going to have desert every day but if I’m at the fair I’ll have a churro for the experience. But as I’ve gotten older and life is more stressful, there’s more and more “treats” creeping in. Like a croissant on Saturday morning, and cookies to go with my tea at night as a relaxing treat, then an olipop or ice coffee in the afternoon as a treat to get me through the work day, it’s not boredom, it’s like a reward but I feel I need them all the time now, it’s hard to untangle when I should really have those treats when I do work really hard all week. If you have any advice I’d love to hear it!
The people who get mad at you for having strict boundaries around sugar either:
1) have such a healthy relationship with food/sugar, they can’t fathom compulsive eating and why some us need strict boundaries
2) have an unhealthy relationship with food/sugar and are in deep denial of their own addiction
1 is so true.
Agree with both
@@maloneaqua2 is also true
For everyone saying sugar doesn’t harm at all… when you eat enough sugar that it spikes your blood sugar the sugar attaches to your collagen protein and destroy it through a process called glycation effectively aging you. If you can handle moderation awesome but I am 100% in the same boat of it being like an addiction. 😅
Former Type 2 Diabetic here and I can confirm with you that sugar is the enemy. Once I weaned myself off consuming an abundance of sugar (not all of it, but a whole lot) and carbohydrates, the blood sugar was lowered in no time flat and today the diabetes and kidney disease are in complete remission.
For that I'm grateful and I'm never going back. Great video, by the way.
Im so soo happy for you 🥹 You’re an inspiration to me and so many others, thank you for sharing 💖
So nice to hear that your diabetes is in remission. I'm a sugar addict/binge eater and I'm really working at changing my eating habits. I've had raised sugars in a fasting blood test. I do not want to crossover into diabetes 2 just because I just HAD to have minute or 2 of pleasure while eating sugar and lot's of junk food.
0:51 gurlll 😭i felt thisss
that moderation stuff does not work for
me. i prefer to abstain from it.
FRRR
I was the same, but overtime you learn to eat it in moderation on special occasions.
Me too!
me too. thats like telling a crack addict to have crack in moderation. no im an addict but to sugar and i need to stay away completely
Same here, I just quit cold turkey!
Sugar is the enemy , no need sugar coating it for them sis , I use to eat a dozen of snickers when I was younger, my skin and body looked so horrible when I look back at old pictures, now that I’m older knowing I’m a sugar tooth I had to figure out how to make healthy snacks 😭 now my skin and body be popping
She honestly looks like a barbie wth😂 Like she's gorgeous
More like bratz I think. Barbie is not hot, looks soulless. But she looks like those black bratz dolls with hot faces 😂❤
@@yumihara14ofc you had to racialize it, she looks more like a barbie because she’s skinnier. bratz dolls aren’t all black, there’s four of them with different races and they’re thick, not skinny
@@kphoria1009Ofc you turn a compliment into some racial bullsh**. Now I see why people don't bother complimenting us. Smh 🙄
@@feefs2139 pff ikr. I'm Japanese and I don't really understand neither mindset nor grammar of "whining over even a compliment" thing of westerners 🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️🤦🏻♀️ I'm from a country MAJORITY of people are in love with white skin and almost hate dark skin tones. And even this couldn't make me hate on any color cause me as an individual can have unique or different thoughts from my people. But some Americans/foreigners really CAN make me feel like "never mind maybe I shouldn't" with their overly ridiculously sensitive reactions.
@@yumihara14That last statement was really telling of your mindset. If you’re the kind of person to revoke your allyship to dark skinned people of color because someone on the internet annoyed you, then it wasn’t real to begin with. Your initial comment was meant as a compliment and because of certain racial stereotypes within the US that you might not be privy to, someone took it offensively. Instead of stepping back and acknowledging that there might be more for you to learn in this situation, you choose to lash out & threaten to revoke your support. Things like that shouldn’t be conditional. I can understand your frustration when you meant no harm but that response still isn’t right.
Sugar is an inflammatory. If I have too much of it, it causes my fibromyalgia to flare up. This flares can last between 3 days and 2 weeks.
Sugar is very, very inflammatory. Didn’t realize why I had lower back pain even in my teen years until cutting the processed junk. When I fell off the wagon the back pain came back. Direct correlation.
You look so pretty. Like not just saying caz you're skinny but like your general style and aesthetic as well - you look so supremely divine.
Agreed
Isn’t she? Really uniquely beautiful with mesmerising eyes.
She‘s actually a model :)
I just started my journey again today. I feel like I can't control myself. Eating a little is never enough. I have to go completely without. I would sit here and look at my children and think I'm about to let sugar take me out of their lives. That's how bad it got. When you cry about something that has so much control over you, you have to really sit and think about your choices.
I agree
Agree
Sometimes i just eat it and regret it right after as if i was possessed 😂😂 omg it s a struggle, i have been doing better recently , i bought lot of fruit that i like, i make a fruit salad when i need the sweetness, im not 100% now but it s waaaay better then before and i don’t feel so tired in the morning like i used to feel before
Keep trying, don’t give up we have little souls that needs us 💐
@@OumuAasiyah Agreed. It's really one choice at a time. ☺️
I stopped eating sugar last year, but at Christmas time I couldn't stop, so I tried this year again. It was way easier and my skin became so much clearer than before. I'm not missing sugar anymore. If I taste those sweets I'm personally thinking, that it's kinda too sweet, so I don't even like it anymore. Thank you for your videos ^^
Yeah after a while you literally don’t have the taste for sweets anymore
How long did u deprive yourself of sugar till you got to the point that you dislike it? Did u also eliminate fruit sugar, dates, raisins & artificial sweeteners? I'm just getting so hopeless! lol
@@SG-xb7de from what ive seen, you can still eat fruits. as for sweeteners, it depends, some people say it activates their cravings the same way sugar does while others say it helps
I am absolutely demonizing sugar. No one in their RIGHT MIND can honestly say sugar is good for you in any sense. Sure, you can still lose weight and eat sugar, but it is a major setback, and it depends on individual genetics, how much weight you have to lose, how much sugar you are eating and what method you are using to lose weight.
I actually LOVE this advice. Obviously, different things will work for different people, but I tried this same thing and it worked for me. I went one month without excess added sugar and I mainly focused on cutting out sweets. By the end of the month, I couldn't even finish a small ice cream because it was too sweet for me. I had to get rid of the addiction first before I could really focus on eating healthier. It also got a lot easier to not eat sugar that month because I made the decision to just not have any. When I saw something sweet, I didn't have to use my willpower to make a decision whether or not to eat it, I just knew that I had already made the choice to not even consider eating it, so it didn't take as much discipline
Literally my exact experience!
I’m the same with caffeine
Its crazy how easy it is to go over daily sugar intake. I just calculated my breakfast and already half way over my limit.
this morning i had an awful binge on sugary foods and right now ive decided that i’ll quit sugar for a while until my i can learn how to control myself, i was able to go sugar free for two months and honestly i should do it again. its kinda heard especially as a 16 years still living at home, and yk social events, people pressuring you and stuff.
Everyone has different priorities in life, different bodies and behaviours around food too. Once I realised I can’t base my food decisions on what others are doing, I was able to give my body what I truly needed. Hope this helps 💜
It took me a long time to realize I do use sugar as a crutch. I really understand when you say sugar is there whenever I’m sad or happy or stressed,… trying to distract or redirect my emotions into other things besides sweets.
Perfect timing! I had such an unhealthy relationship with sugar my entire life and now that I'm older and know better, I am attempting to rid of it. Unfortunately, my body is extremely adjusted to it. In ways I'm not scientifically aware of, but I can feel. My body is so adapted to using it as energy and a dopamine release, I LITERALLY crash without it. (like a drug addict or something)
I can see how some people,
sugar isn’t a big deal to them but from someone with adhd which makes my brain always crave outside sources of dopamine + addictive personality I cannot have it casually without depending on it, I lost 25-30 pounds cutting out fast food,chips and candy.
this year I wanted to take a step further to cut out added sugar and have it on special occasions in moderation (like my birthday, certain holidays) that’s what I found works for me and then eventually I just wont even want sugar, the more I have it the more I crave it it’s the truth.
ur channel helps me so much sugar has no nutritional value and does not serve us to have every day couple times a year at most or even not at all u aren’t demonizing it it is the truth.
I'm 60 pounds overweight, have been since the middle of my teens, but jn the last 1,5 months I've lost 10 poundd and am feeling more moticated than ever to keep going and I could've never gotten this far without people on the i ternet saying the things overweight people don't wanna hear
That's awesome, be proud of yourself and keep up the good work!
i've been exercising and eating healthy my whole life, never had a sweet tooth either but last month i moved to a new city for university and somehow being alone for the first time and the consequent stress sent me into a sugar craze, i ate so much sweets and gained even more weight after the holidays :/ so yes i need to clean my brain from this sugar fixation because it doesn't even satisfy me and it makes me crave for more. i totally understand your point, for some people it's hard to reduce sugar intake gradually and they need to cut it off completely at least for a while. I'm rewatching a lot of your videos for tips so thank you
a problem i have usually is that i freak out about "missing" the food, like if my mom were to make unhealthy food, i feel bad about not eating it and feel as if i'll miss it; or if she gives me candy, i usually have to eat it unless my little sister does first. i now notice i shouldnt be panicking over this and that at anytime, i can just buy it for myself later. it isnt going anywhere.
I FEEL THE EXACT SAME WAY!! I have FOMO with food! I've slowly been solving this issue once I realized I had FOMO with food, but it's crazy to know I'm not alone!
same here omg! trying to kick my sugar addiction now
Wow, what a brilliant video! I just gave up sugar for lent (40 days and 40 nights) and I was so excited for it to be over, but now it's over I don't really fancy sugar as much as I used to. I'm not craving it anymore. This really works, and I'm going to stay off the sugar for now x
My family nickname was "sugar junkie". If I can overcome a toxic relationship with chocolate, honestly anyone can. You can do it. I work in health and the scientific evidence is now compelling, too much added sugar, artificial sweeteners, ultra processed foods, can lead to weight gain and serious disease. Thank you for sharing this Jade and here's to a diet rich in healthy foods and a bright future.
Amen!
gosh you described exactly how I’ve felt with sugar throughout my whole life. I’ve finally toned it down but I wish to stop it completely
I subbed because your flat honesty is what all of us need. I am 9 months pregnant but I agree with you totally. I am not overweight but I struggle with sugar. Your body struggles are so relatable to me. I needed someone that wasn’t overweight but not necessarily their best self. Looking at you makes me realize what I am missing out on. My best self is just on the other side of this sugar addiction.
You are wise beyond your years! I am so addicted! 53 years old, overweight at the worst possible time of life, and I honestly am convinced I'm the only person who struggles with it because I'm in denial and find all the reasons why I can't stop as well as, 'I'll start tomorrow or after this huge bag of MMS is gone (which is the end.of today....not tomorrow!). How aggravating this is. I'm not addicted to Lima beans! I can easily live without tripe and tofu! I wish I thought about sugar like I do those things.
Thank you for spending your time making a lovely video. I think I have found a little more courage.
Loved the video! This is exactly what I needed to hear. I’ve been putting off cutting sugar because of this moderation mindset but this easter made me realize moderation is not for me, not with sugar. Quitting sugar from this second on, at least until I lose some weight (for both aesthetics and my health)
I appreciate how real this is though. You're not beating around the bush/ just telling people what they want to hear. Definitely struggling with this and have started doing more zero candy/ chips months and I feel a lot more in control of my habits.
This is so true. Thank you for being brave enough to say it out loud 😭
0:50 thank you! i am surrounded by ppl like that, who can eat a piece of chocolate and leave the rest. and who can’t understand why i have to quit sugar cold turkey. it’s like, if it’s in the house, i am eating it. if i start eating it, will eat the whole thing that is in front of me. but if i decide not to consume it, i will not crave or eat it at all.
i literally have no words to say.. you're so amazing and inspiring. you just cannot imagine how much you've helped me with my own eating habits & workouts. no words just THANK YOU
You’re amazing 💜💜💜
Thank you for saying this!! Everyone around me seems to downplay how badly we eat and it’s really hard to get the last 30lbs off my body when I hear this daily and even my husband encourages me to eat badly knowing I’m trying to stay on track. For me if it’s not sugar, then it’s chips/snacks or just pizza and processed foods. I know what you eat matters because after 3 kids I was thin and back down to my high school weight mostly because of good food choices. I know I can get there again!
This is definitely where I’m at on my journey of being healthier. I’ve been trying to swap out for healthier things, but even that like it’s a rabbit hole
Thank you for being real. I agree with everything. Limiting sugar was hard at first, but I got over it and it seriously has helped me adopt a healthy diet and lifestyle. I’ve lost weight naturally and I don’t even crave processed foods or sugar anymore. I developed the mindset of eating nourishing foods that satiate me and benefit my health
Wow thank u ! I’m 19 5’4 190 pounds 😢 it’s hard for me to not eat sugar even when I get EBT I buy a BUNCH OF JUNK FOOD & SUGAR it’s so hard but now im gonna have my staff put my EBT card away locked up in my bin then going out to eat less ! Making healthy choices it’s gonna be hard but I’ll try ! And since it’s already Jan. 23 , 2024 and I’m watching this at 6:33 pm I already ate my sugar and lunch and dinner so I’ll start tomorrow! Jan . 24 .2024 I can’t wait thank u smm I’ll come back in a couple weeks and keep u updated I know that’s my problem bc when I went to my moms and ate healthy I lost no lie 5 pounds in 3 days I gotta do this thank u sm ❤
I hope you’ll come back to give some news ! It is really hard and you’ll probably fail along the way, what is more important is to always come back and try again or try different. Just get back on track and trust yourself 🫶
If u get ebt use it to but fruits instead or good nutritious foods.
I agree with you, just because cutting out sugar doesn’t work for someone or just because sugar isn’t a demon to someone doesn’t mean it isn’t one for someone else. I have the demon of sugar cravings chasing after me and it hurts so bad. I always gain many pounds from sugar and have sugar cravings very often. Sugar is definitely an enemy for most even if someone tries to deny it and there are also some people who yes they need more sugar in the diets. Thanks for posting these videos and always giving the truth and never SUGARcoating it lol 😂
Lol no SUGARcoating here
😂love your ending to this lol ❤
Thank you so much Ms.Rose! I've been struggling with both sugar and sodium lately, and I really needed this. I can't really eat processed foods in moderation without wanting more. You are the best. May god bless you!
God bless you too lovely!
@@JaderoselimaThank you.
When I cut out all sugar except fresh fruit for 5 months I realized how listening to my body when it was hungry and satiated was actually supposed to work. I feel like it’s something we should all do once. If sugar’s not a problem, give it up for a few weeks and go back to it. What’s the harm in going without, if there’s no side effects but possible withdrawal from the thing you thought you weren’t addicted to? Lol
90% of what I ate had sugar and I was still able to weigh 104 lbs. Still, I know sugar is bad and since I have an autoimmune disease, sugar causes me inflammation and it's why I have started cutting off sugar. So is it possible to eat A TON of sugar and still be thin? Yes. Is it healthy? No.
It's possible if you have hyperthyroidism
Exactly, you're saying the truth. People just don't get that sugar is the gateway drug! All my eating problems stemmed from sugar. Now I can enjoy 1 pot of veggie stew with good carbs from root veggies and leaves, feeling much better with constant weight.
I appreciate your nuance when it comes to your experience with sugar. While moderations works for some, it doesn’t work for others, and both are okay. What matters is experimenting and finding what works best for you. What worked for me personally was not to treat sugar as “bad” (therefore it would create “forbidden apple syndrome” and I’d crave it more). Rather, I treated it as unnecessary and easily replaceable with something that had more nutritious value (like fruit and the vitamins/fiber that comes with them). But I can’t treat my experience as proof that moderation works for everyone, especially considering that sugar does have addictive qualities to many people. Thanks for your video. 😊
10:55 I find its also a mental game. If you mentally focus on how much you want it, how tasty it would be, it becomes overwhelming. Try to tell yourself over and over I don't eat sugar anymore, I don't really want to eat this it's how I cope, and my plans and dreams for weight loss are more important. Imagine yourself at your goal.
This video is so informative and applies to everyone.
(Oh my goodness, and she is so beautiful, if she's not a runway model, she needs to be 💗)
❤thank you so much for this...being autistic and ADHD together and JUST FOUNDING OUT SO LATE, SUGAR IS MY DRUG AND ITS SO HARD AND NO ONE TAUGHT ME TO EAT WELL. I DIDNT KNOW HOW MUCH WORK GOES INTO REALLY LEARNING WHAT OUR BODY NEEDS ESP WHEN WE HAVE MENTAL DISORDERS,, THIS IS SO HARD BEING ALONE T.Y. FOR THIS
In regards to pizza and burgers. I make them at home using less and healthier ingredients and it really works
Absolute great advice! Especially the narcissistic relationship comparison example😂 No contact! Love it
Thank you so much Jade. Im struggling with fat loss for a year now, there were many up and downs while trying out different strategies like intermittent fasting but non of them worked for me. It wasn’t even the „lack of discipline“, sugar completely ruins your self control and it’s literally impossible to manage that, especially when you’re in a calorie deficit and still eating sweets. I recently found out that sugar was really the problem, because I often find myself craving for at least a peace of chocolate after a balanced meal, that‘s supposed to make me feel satisfied without wanting sugar after. I’ve been struggling this week by eating an amount of sugar that makes me feel bad (physically) and not even satisfied. You just feel tired after few minutes and get an energy crash, because of the insulin that shoots up and down. This in turn means that you don't feel like doing anything because you feel tired and exhausted. And later everything starts over again. I’m sick of it and want to change this bad habit, even if it’s going to be really hard. Especially when being around family or friends. Thank you Jade, you always post your videos at the right time.
Nipping that tempting thought in the butt right away instead of letting it mess with you is great advice, I’m going to work on this mental trick with other issues I’m facing.
Also I hate that our own family don’t believe in us, they have it imbedded in their psyche that we will be fat forever, following the family curse.. i just can’t deal with them sometimes, it’s so important to know this
Thank you!
You are magnificent! Thank You so much! Jade, you have no idea of how much you have helped me with my eating disorder!
I completely agree. It's not about giving up sugar forever, it's about temporarily cutting it out until you are able to maintain moderation, for those who have spent long periods of their lives consuming it in excess. Thank you for sharing. :)
You hit the nail on the head with how sugar affects you. I’m the same way. I can just eat a small bite of something and put it away. I end up killing the rest not evan an hour later then it triggers a junk food binge. I have learned that I can’t do sweets, cakes, cookies and carbs. Im on week 2 of cutting them out and opting for healthier options
Wow ! You are simply beautiful, have an easy listening tone, and provided relatable experiences. I’m glad I watched this video!
Thank you for watching 💖
Thank you so much for this video! I used to be a major sugar addict and it is why I had gained so much weight. Sugar only makes you crave more sugar so best believe my sugar addiction was bleeding into binging. I would buy a family sized bag of jalapeno chips and eat the entire bag plus half a box of cheezits and a hearty dinner without counting my serving of rice on the side and *no greens*. I would take candies from every complimentary basket I could find (I was a college senior at my biggest) and my pockets at any given time were full of candy wrappers. I’m talking…at least 5 fun sized candies per pocket.
I am almost 30lbs down from my biggest and 23lbs away from my goal weight. Biggest thing for me was actually starting to track calories and cutting everything out completely until I had the willpower to eat it again. I can now safely have cheezits in my house and eat one serving (or two) while watching tv and put the box away. Tracking calories and seeing my macros saved me. I realized the sweets and snacks were so many calories for so little sustenance, I was eating so much but still constantly hungry. Hearing other’s stories with sugar addiction makes me feel vindicated and it makes me feel less alone. So thank you so so much. The girls that get it, get it.
I’ve been on keto for a little over a week, going on two weeks and have stuck to a strict diet and I already see a difference (without exercise). I don’t plan on staying in keto permanently, but it’s amazing what your body will go through once you cut sugar. I also wonder what will happen if I stick to keto and incorporate exercise. Don’t get me wrong, it’s been tough. Some days I just want to indulge, but I’ve come so far and do not want to ruin it because I can’t have at cookie. I look and feel better. My skin behaves better, my gut feels better and I’m losing belly fat. I feel like people have to come to a point where they simply have had enough of the same poor behaviors. I got tired of complaining about myself, tired of feeling guilty for over indulging, totally tired of the gut issues, etc. I got more desperate for change than sugar. It’s possible and if you want it badly enough, you’ll make it happen. 🙏🏾
Thank you so much for this video! I can 100% agree and have the same “addiction” to sugar… I often was successful quitting sugar but always come to this point sometimes where I had these “conversations” with myself and failed. I will try your trick to stop the “conversation” before it really started. I think that could be the key. Thank you for this 🙏🏻
Two minutes into your video and I've subscribed. Very good.
First & foremost, you are absolutely beautiful.
You are telling the truth. Your video happened into my feed & right as you speak I’m struggling with sugar addiction. Your advice is what I know, but hearing you saying it confirms & helps so much. I will definitely take your advice. Thank you.
This video is so educational but i couldnt help myself from laughing so much. Thank you for your honesty 😂
This is my relationship with sugar exactly! I have been having blood pressure issues here and there and guess what sends my blood pressure up? Sugar! as long as I control my sugar intake I literally can eat as much salt as I want.
9 seconds into the video, and may i say, you look absolutely majestic 💓
I'm so grateful 🥲 the message got deep at the end. Definitely gonna have this one on repeat
The nip it in the bud technique sounds super helpful. I def ask myself whether i should go eat seconds or eat dessert when im not even hungry. Im SO going to try it.
Personally for me, I struggle with binge eating disorder. And the root of binging started in my black and white mindset. 'Either go all in or screw it all'..
In supermarkets I'd tell myself not to get certain foods, because I'd binge. And then I realized, 'if I keep listening to that thought, I'm kind of manifesting it, aren't I?'. So what did I do? I started exposing myself to it.
I literally bought ALL the sugary snacks, the foods that I CRAVE but couldn't eat without feeling bad for it. And that feeling of guilt that followed up, even if I had a small hand of candy, or a bit of chocolate LED me to binge.
So I started allowing myself to have it. And now I can live with snacks in the house. I corporate small bits in my diet, such as a piece of chocolate along with my breakfast and 2 other (sugary) snacks that can either be fruit, a cookie, or a piece of chocolate. IN MODERATION.
Whatever I'm craving, I'll allow myself to eat it! But obviously not the whole pack in one sitting with the excuse 'I can eat so much of this, because I'm allowing myself to.' Because let's be honest, eating the whole thing in one go makes you feel ABSOLUTELY miserable lol.
Some day I really want to work up to the point where you are, but currently I'm still healing my relationship with food. Thank you for this video, Jade.
as someone who was 94 pounds and only ate sugar. i was so unhealthy. 😭 idk why but healthier foods helped me gain weight and i feel sm better. was so addicting. im glad i stopped
this is some amazing advice. i generally eat pretty healthy and i'm not overweight, but the past few days i've been emotionally binging and need to stop!
I literally have been constantly pleading. My fascination was sugar and a possible dictionary. I've gone off of sugar. Just even sugary drinks juice mainly. I don't really drink soda. I can control that meaning it could go a whole year and I wouldn't want but juice is a struggle for me. I'd try not to even buy it and put it in the house. I think sometimes it's hard when you live with people. Because people bring temptation along with them ice cream cake. Lovett my weakness and chocolate with nuts in it. My weakness candy not so much. I can cut back but juice is definitely one thing. I want to drink less really if I could drink. Milk you said all and only eat fruits when wanting sugar. Because fruits are healthy. That would be the best thing for me.
Always struggle to lose Wait even though I stay in the gym. For my body type. I need to be strict and now compromising.
Jade you are a natural beauty
I want to share my experience! I too had a problem with sugar. I also didn’t understand how people could take a bite out of a candy bar and put it away for later. I don’t think I have ever been able to go more than 2-3 days without any sugar or flour…. I know it can sound a little extreme but I decided to cut out sugar and flour. I ate 3 large meals a day, and made a no snacking rule for myself. I ate real, whole foods. Around week 3 my cravings peaked and I gave in. I had pasta. Went another 2 weeks. I gave in and had cake and ice cream. But I was still losing weight! I kept going but decided to have one or two cheat meals per week and that’s what’s been working the best for me. I’m still losing weight but I’m also finding out that my body REALLY likes healthy food, even thought it’s a little bland and boring. When I eat something like pasta, pizza or cake, it tastes really good for the first 3-4 bites but then it starts to suck. My stomach feels very nauseated for the next 3 hours and I feel like I could throw up. I realize that sugar and flour taste good (at least for a minute) but my body really hates it. I can’t believe I used to eat it every single day. It’s definitely leading to so many diseases and early death. I think taking at least a 3-4 week break from all sugar and flour is so helpful to get a hold on it, and to build a better relationship with food. But of course I’m just speaking from my own experience!
Jade you are an icon, thank you sm for all your advice ❤ People that want to judge, will judge, keep doing your wonderful job, helping us❤🥰
Thanks lovely!
Your gorgeous! Sugar and vegetable seed oils are super inflammatory and addicting...Ive reversed my autoimmune problem with carnivore...eat lots of fatty meat and have zero cravings❤
a sugar addiction is one of the hardest things to get rid of because it’s EVERYWHERE. as someone who is underweight everyone tells me i don’t need to go on a diet or cut sugar from my diet because i need the extra calories, so they just shove food in my face. but they don’t understand that it’s not helping me become healthier
So true sis! I have a sugar addition and trying to kick it, so THANK YOU!!!!
I wish it was easy to cut out sugar, but well it isnt for most ppl. But one thing that helped me reduce the cravings and the binge eating is having 3 full meals and 1 snack a day. For example if I crave something with chocolate, I usually have a high protein yoghurt with my chocolate in it. Like this I have a snack that is filling and fulfilling, Instead of eating a whole chocolate bar and still being hungry after.
I felt that. I am working on making yogurt bark or protein balls to get a little bit of sweetness in different ways.
I’ve increased fat (whole milk, olive oil, butter not marg etc) and protein (freshly cooked meat, eggs…) and have started losing weight because I’m more satisfied and have longer lasting energy rather than sugary quick hit sources of fuel. You’re absolutely right.
I have to go completely without 😩 thank you for this video
This video is for me !! I'm the same way with sugary foods
I agree 100%! Quitting sugar was a game changer for me too. I finally managed to lose weight.
I am the person that I need to go completely without because for me is an addiction pretty serious haha 100% with u
Hahaha yes for me is like a drug addiction it’s crazy I start with snickers but end with a bag plus Oreos plus marshmallow etc etc etc
This is also true for salty foods. I’m a salty snack girl and that sodium had me so swollen
This was a good video. About a week ago I decided that I’m done with sugar which over the years since I had so many ups and downs… coming out of a down it was easy to do. I wasn’t in a horrid spot lol I’ve seen worse of myself but the things that I would do is eat a lot of the same things like popcorn and cashews like even if it was healthy but gave me the comfort food vibe that has been stalking me. So on top of the no more sugar I eliminated the things that make me want them as well as the corn syrups no more corn no more popcorn even sorghum. Not buying it to bring in the house anymore. If I happen to have a little while out I will so it’s not torture and it’s not something I’ll plan for… it’ll be on occasion and rare. Thanks for your vid just wanted to share my tip to
I ve been addicted to sugar for at least 25years ,90%of my daily diet was sugary food.So I can completely relate what you are talking about.And my personality is very all or nothing,no room for moderation😢So thank you for making me realize what's the best solution.Day 1 of no sugar diet❤
For me i didn't cut out sugar entirely i just cut back and it's worked for me thus far, but i do understand that some people just can't help themselves and should probably quite cold turkey.
You are so beautiful... I am just in awe
I love your honesty
This video feels like talking to a friend over coffee
jade, i love your account!! you give me such good vibes, and I love how you're very honest and loving. keep going! you are amazing and an inspiration
💖💕💕💕
I'm currently 4 days free of sugar... This inspired me to continue!
You are so relatable. I love sugar. It’s difficult to give it up. I only want to loose a little bit of fat, and recomp my body. I know sugar is my weakness.
Happy to find your channel, thank you 🙌🏼
i am a 2 year uni-student, very active parliamentary debater & adjudicator (a horrid, mentally crazy sport) with depression and anxiety disorder. everytime i finish a competition no matter the result is, i am so used with the mindset i should reward myself - and i would buy boba. i would eat ice creams, sweet sweet coffee, whenever i'm so depressed but i can't miss a meeting, or i have an exam. TO ME, SUGAR IS A DRUG. i managed to like start a routine to cut it off. but whenever i get into really tiring weeks or episodes, i fall right over again. thank you so much for the video, thank you God for popping it up on my recommendations.
Bravissima 👍🏻 Me too I go cold turkey!
Thanks for this. I have been self sabotaging my weight loss goals for years. I am sooo tired of it. I don’t eat those things all the time, I don’t drink soda. I use stevia most of the time. But I am a weekend sugar binger. I don’t have any of the diseases that my family has like diabetes etc. But my bloodwork says I am borderline. I want to lose around 20-25lbs THIS YEAR! Will I cut sugar out completely? Prob not, but this video helps me be even more mindful. I rarely go to fast food restaurants. So that helps. I read labels so that helps too. My challenge is to not allow my Friday treat turn into a Saturday and Sunday treat, many calories and much sugar. I like grapes, I decided not to get the candy bar today just because I had calories left over. I do agree sugar is not good for us, many of us are addicted to it and must get it under control. THANKS FOR THIS VIDEO.
Okay so, I actually didn't expect that I'll relate SO MUCH to this video. Like, really. I'm still a minor living with my family and in our household sugar is available 24/7 and It's craazy. If I eat something unhealthy quick, the next day there will be 5 times more on the table than there were before. And It's really hard to resist the urge and just not eat it. It'll be 2 years since I've been struggling with food. At first, I was also overeating and food was like an escape for me and it still, in some way, is. Magically, the overeating problem dissappeared but it took me a really long time. I have still a huge problem with sugar, though. And it really bothers me. I just don't know what to do. The fun fact is that I'm technically "skinny" but that doesn't mean I don't hate myself for eating sugar so much. It's not normal. I just don't know how to quit and since in 5 days Christmas are here it's even worse. There's just so much sweets everyday and if I told my family they would just make fun of me like they do everytime. So I feel like I'm all alone by myself on this and maybe that's why everytime I try but everytime I fail.
Look, your channel is helping a lot to people who are ignorant and are trying to fight against ourselves to have better self-esteem, health and make better decisions about our health and that of others. The truth is, the world hates being told the truth because It is hard to accept and the things that are worth it in life are the most difficult to achieve, unfortunately it is difficult but not impossible to overcome the addiction to sugar because the most affordable food on the street has it and you have to resist, I hope and this message reaches everyone who needs it, no matter how minimal it is, it is worth making the effort every day, it can be improved even more until we reach the goal of having control over ourselves and living in peace and fullness with our body and mind.
So true
I went to an older person's group and the first thing they do is give you a coffee👍 Then they put the biggest wedge of cake in front of me. No thank you I said. I'm going out for a meal with my neighbours, I'm taking a low carb roll for them to put a quarter pounder in. X
I’ve been doing whole30 for at least a month every year for seven years now… it’s honestly such a great practice to try and eat no added sugar for a bit just to like realize how crap our grocery stores are and realize how much self control you can have ahah
I love this idea, you’ve inspired me. I’m gonna start today
This is helpful. My downfall was meat and been eating less and sugar is next.
Anyone who gets angry is being defensive because they don't want to give it up. I was the same. You are so exquisitely beautiful!
Hi from Ukraine 🤗 🇺🇦
