I have followed you since November when I started keto. I have lost 35 pounds and now I am below 200 pounds for the first time in 30 years. At 69 I feel terrific and I exercise almost every day. My only regret is that I didn’t learn about this sooner.
That’s great ! If you don’t mind sharing your routine ?What do you eat in day ?
I agree. I try to teach young people but they keep saying it is too hard. They rather eat.
Giving up sugar is hard but so worth it.
Does it mean you giving up fruits too? Coz I love fruits, particularly apple.
Sumida Ryogoku I, personally, eat fruit with no issues. If i eat a cookie or treat food, that’s a different story, I crave sugar for a few days.
“A short term reward, for a long term consequence.” Love that saying Dr. Becky! Thank you.
A year ago I was an old fat guy. Been living HFLC, lost 80 pounds, and now I’m a 53 year old gym rat. Sugar can kiss it.
Wow..wonderful !! Does it mean you also quit fruits ?
I had no idea Dr. Becky that you struggled with the sugar cravings and addiction like so many of us. I have gained so much respect for you as someone who has been there, so what you have to say has much more weight with me. Thank you for sharing your story. I am going to incorporate the salad with fats in my diet. I must beat this addiction, it’s nice to know I’m not alone. You certainly understand the struggle.
"oh are you on a diet?"... no, i'm on a lifestyle
Never a dieter, in my intro to keto for weight loss, I was blessed to recognize early on that I was NOT working to get back to SAD (Standard American Diet). Lifestyle is the word AND the mindset for dietary changes that can go the distance.
Powerful and right Mindset.
I love everything about your channel. You are both calm, positive, truthful, and down to earth. Your message is not only easy to hear, but easy to understand.
Agreed!💖
Oh. I meant to comment on another video you had about "stoppers". I do OMAD (M-F). So when I'm done with dinner, I brush my teeth and this prevents me from late night snacking.
DR. becky thank you i love.u vedio
Two years LCHF but during Christmas as a native German I am obliged to bake Christmas goodies for the family. I did really good the first year on LCHF, but this last Christmas I did "taste" some of my cookies and the monkey was right back! My family even noticed that I was looking for something sweet and they said they won't ask for German Christmas goodies next year. It took me three weeks to lose the cravings and actually gained a few pounds, but also did not walk during Dec. I will continue to bake because it's our tradition, we play Christmas music and on Sundays light the Advent candles to celebrate the season. I have to be mindful of my addiction, and am now a believer that it can be a true addiction. No substitute will ever taste like a real sugar cookie but just as I know there are things just not worth it so is sugar. Thank you for this video, I appreciate the knowledge I gain by watching you. Many years ago I saw a documentary in German about food production and one segment showed how food is now going global, this icecream factory was shipping world wide and the commentator said that for the US market they have to add a third more sugar than for other countries. America runs on sugar, we have a medical experiment on how a society will survive a Diabetes Type II Pandemic. Probably that's why we won't find the political will to create a universal healthcare system.
It can be so hard to stop eating sugar. Now I can avoid it fairly easily. It's crazy to think of now. I use to eat sugar every day.
Great video! I’ve been sugar free for almost 2 years. I’ve never felt better! I value myself and my health way more than eating sugar. Anyone can do it if you put your mind in gear.
Marilyn Rich thank you for the encouragement. I last 5 days and slip right back. I must conquer this addiction. I will try Dr. Becky’s suggestions. Congratulations on two years!
You CAN do it if you want it bad enough. I think of it as a game now. Have only healthy keto foods in your house. Get rid of everything else. No excuses!
A year ago I lost 40 lbs on Keto. Found it pretty easy. Now I have fallen back into the old habits and gained back 20lbs. I just cant get my head wrapped around it and SUGAR is screaming my name all day long! Haven't given up hope though!
It’s so funny to me how women often, when we “get it”, we wind up looking in our 50’s like the daughters of the women (us) in our pictures when we were in our 30!!! Dr. Becky looks like her own daughter of the woman in the young picture she shows. That’s a great thing! :)
Just yesterday my wife had me looking for her pint of Vanilla Ice cream.( I know she thought I ate it) After finding her mint ice cream I found her vanilla behind the six pak of vanilla cups. I knew if I ate one bite I would eat the pint or two or three cups. The initial bite/taste is a no no for me. My fix (replacement) was a soft avocado with 1/4 cup HWC and stevia. It worked for me and I made two servings out of it. There would never be a second serving if I had used the real drug of sugar. Had to add that I've had some friendships cool because I asked them to quit making me apple pies/apple turnovers etc.. There is no way one can convince the cook that you cannot eat it anymore that she will truly accept as they do not believe it's a health issue. I really believe it will take 10 or15 years for people to understand sugar is a killer. My wife is a nonbeliever. It's so tough seeing all the things she bakes for people and holidays. One relative likes chocolate fudge, one likes peanut butter fudge, one likes lemon cake, one likes ooey-gooey (chess cake) plus she likes pecan pies. This is ever holiday and special occasion. When they leave I make sure it all goes with them except the pecan pie, she hangs onto it. OH, did I mention the 25 plus jam cakes she makes for the Holiday gifts. I can shut the door when it's cooking but you gotta eat sometime. I fell hard Christmas of 2019 and after "cleaning" the peanut butter stirring spoon I went beserk and ate some of all the desserts. WOW, it took me days to get back into ketosis. Several special dinners since and I now know you're one drink (spoon) away from the gutter. Sorry, no one to talk to about it except you folks. Sugar sucks, keto rocks.
I feel you man. My girlfriend is a nonbeliever. I went on keto and lost 15 pounds in two months. I tried to get her stop eating rice, bread and pasta. She tried one week and gave up cus she was craving carbs (i.e. sugar withdrawal) and she “knows her body”. She gave up and lost zero pounds.
We eat almost the some thing except she adds rice, pasta and bread to her diet and she insisted her diet is a balanced diet.
Talking about frustration. I know what is good for both of us and she refuses to acknowledge the obvious different outcomes.
Worst of all, she complains about not fitting into old clothes anymore. Here I am in the best shape of my life.
Sigh!
Ask your wife to specialize in some Keto desserts, too. If she truly enjoys baking, she might like the new challenge.
Love the coffee mug. "Sugar free but still sweet"!
I'm such a sugar addict. I lost 30lbs last fall thru intermittent fasting. I think I went one 3 week period with no sugar. It's the first time I'd been sugar free in my 63 years. I eat tons of anything cinnamon candy or gum related. During the 30lb loss I ate eggs, chicken breasts and strawberries. Nothing else for months. The period I went sugarless the weight came off faster, I felt better, slept better and had more energy. But not eating or eating the same things made me very bored still I cheated. First just cream and sugar in my coffee in the morning. If I do nothing else but have cream and sugar on coffee in the morning ALL weighloss completely stopped. Or I'd have cheat days and then weight loss stopped. Eventually I stopped eating clean and now I've gained 20 of the 30 back.
When I first became a diabetic due to a autoimmune issue, with all the complications I was facing, the only one that upset me was my knowledge that I could not have my sugar treat every evening. However, I substituted nuts and/or cheese sticks in the evening as a replacement. It worked. I realized that I did not want sugar, I just needed a snack. I patterned it after the fact that my father gave up smoking by holing a fake cigarette. He said he just wanted to hold a cigarette, not necessarily ingest nicotine.
One thing I use to tell my dieters that if they were pressured about sugary foods, they could reply, "No thanks, I'm working with doctor to treat my pancreas." That stops people in their tracks.
We've been locked down in Ecuador since March 17. I had been following the virus back in the denial days. I was so stressed out! My husband has a heart defect, diabetes and high blood pressure (due to the heart defect). I was terrified for him! We were pretty close to being locked down, ourselves, a week before the country. In the middle of all that stress, my hubby tells me I'm too skinny! I was on the high side of being overweight. Comfort food was cooked and eaten by me. I've gained 15 pounds and feel horrible! Now I'm on the battle against flours and sugars of any kind. Ugh! Unfortunately, it all tasted amazing! Oh well, my garden is looking better since I've stepped out of the kitchen and into the development of gardens and planting of fruits and veggies. We had our first beet greens this week. So delicious! Thanks for the video. It came at a good time for me.
That must be so difficult for you. In the long run, it would be best for you to listen to yourself. You know best what is better for your own health. It's hard not to listen to your husband, I know this myself. But we can do it. You are not alone! Glad to hear about your garden, I did that too this year. So, just believe in yourself and your own needs must come first. You can do this!
When I started, it was important to accomodate my sweet tooth. I ate a bit of chocolate for dessert, starting at what I could stand, 70%. About every week that number went up. I still love chocolate these days, where even 100% tastes delicious! Good fiber here, too :) Great work, love watching you!
Hi Dr. Becky, I'm a sugar-a-holic. I've consumed tons of sugar over my 62 years of life. It started in my early childhood.
Not silly to mourn the loss. I think I mourned my carbs for almost a year after diagnosis of T2. Its hard to give up "comfort" foods. After while I began to look at all the good foods I've learned to like and discovered instead of thinking of loss. I gained so much more.
Excellent! “Add as you subtract.”
Wow... such an inspiring and insightful discussion!! I thought I was the only one who had ever mentally mourned quitting sugar. Mine is more mental than physical! To me it's a real loss and I'm grieving it. It's hard to describe unless you've been there. Thanks for your video!!
Cheat day? Three years sugar free. I would not dare have a cheat day.
Thomas Wharton I feel so sick after a cheat day 🤢
For me, having a cheat day with sugar, would be like being an addict and having a cheat day with drugs.
Barbara Schmidt You are so right. I am in recovery and recently have started to detox from sugar and by far sugar is way harder than drugs and alcohol. I’m realizing there are no real “cheat days”. If I “cheat” it derails me for days. Damn you sugar!
Do you use artificial sweetener ? How about fruits?
@@azabujuban-hito8085 No artificial sweeteners. I'll have an apple once or twice a week. I depend on herbs and spices to liven up my food. I also consume a lot of turmeric and ginger.
As a 911 dispatcher and an EMT, chocolate is my go-to after bad calls. I can see fat helping because I didn't crave sugar when I briefly did keto.
Thanks for sharing that sometimes being sugar free stinks, cause it does! It is amazing how you feel though when you finally get off sugar!
I always claimed the corner pieces of the birthday cakes, my favorite part of the cake was the frosting. Never understood the folks who would slice away the frosting and only eat the cake. What a waste I thought. On bad days I would even go to the grocery store to buy the tubs of frosting in the bakery aisle. Yes, sugar was my drug. I would instantly feel that AAAAHHHHH moment when the sugar hit took effect. Dr. Becky, I do mourn the loss of sugar. Stress eating is real. I used sugar like others use drugs or alcohol. I am 21 months on Keto. Lost weight and blood sugar is under control. Dr. Keith, you are correct, no snack foods in the house. They are just too easy, even if they are "Keto Snacks" . This journey is still a struggle for me, but with the help of good folks like 2 Fit Docs, I remain hopeful. Thank you.
Thank you for your honesty! There are still times when the sugar craving is huge. I remind myself, “This too shall pass!”
This was great. Thank you. It reminds me of when I quit smoking 30 years ago. I tried to 'cut down' for years, then I realized that I needed to treat it like alcoholics did - you can't have "just a puff" or "just a drink" if you're an alcoholic, you need to never have a puff again. Ever. I have begun to stop bringing sugar into the house - but I do have something on the road if I want it. However, it's amazing how I don't crave sugar when I'm out and about.
I quit sugar when I understand that I could eat cheese 🧀 and salad instead or meats with vegetables. Thank you 🙏 for your interesting videos.
Cheese isn't the best. Nutritional yeast tastes cheesy, while providing B vitamins.
LCHF for 15 months, 50 lbs lighter at 175 lbs. One of many benefits is that I never wake up for a midnight snack. Before LCHF I’d wake up most nights and swig down a big glass of Tropicana orange juice. I admit, I still miss that great taste.
Once I was finally able to get pass the 3rd week of being "sugar deprived" (cause that's how it felt) I started to feel not only better but stronger, healthier, and specially with all this momentum of will power to keep pulling myself out of sweets and high glicemic carbs addiction.
I still have cravings but I've learned to curb them into healthier ones.
Dr. Becky you said something towards the end about how your Joints feel better. That struck a Bell with me, because that is one of the main things I have noticed in myself since being on KETO. You think you could explain just why that is in another video sometime? Thank you for your great explanation on getting sugar out of your life. Dr. Keith good interview, you both are looking well and congratulations on 26 years together..
My joints felt better within a week or two after I started keto. My understanding is that a lot of it is the reduction of inflammation that occurs when you no longer stuff your body with carbohydrates. Carbohydrates make you retain water.
There's a lot of factors that can reduce joint pain when on Keto but two main reasons are when you lose weight, you take the pressure off your joints.
Another is artificial sweeteners one of which is Aspartame which is well known to contribute to joint pain. Since you have been avoiding that, your joints are thanking you for it.
Like the other comment said, artificial sugar causes inflammation. Keep up the good work! 👍🏾 I too am trying to quit sugar for that very reason. I have joint pain and my brain is always foggy
With your guidance, DB, I've cut WAY down on my sugar for about 5 years now. I was an ice-cream addict, too, but not every day. Still bad. The main thing that helped me give up, or majorly cut back on sugar was you challenging me, DB and the whole ADD AS YOU SUBTRACT pointer. I now have huge veggie omelettes and salads every day. I also try to keep junk food outta the house, to in difficult-to-get locations. I feel awesome now. I will say I do still get tempted. But I like your feeling description, DB, that you don't wanna lose ground. Being a peri-menopausal, 53-year-old chick during this whole coronavirus schebang inspires me to keep on keeping on; staying strong, feeling great -- being well and carrying on. Thanks for your guidance Docs. Best!
I love how real you are, not taking the free baked goods how that stunk I still have those feelings have lost 45 pounds doing keto have been watching you all over the last year and a half you keep it real, simple to understand I am like Keith have trouble being in Ketosis almost always on the low numbers. Thank you, Thank you, 🙏
I just started your 21 day low-carb challenge this past Monday. So far the meals are delicious. This video is very helpful. Thank you for all your helpful information!!
I am so glad to have listened ! You guys are right on target ... , relating exactly with all you’ve communicated here.
I like how you say the quiet parts out loud, “I like the corner piece.”
Amazing transformation by BOTH of you! Glad you are recovering well!
this is a great video. This is a very needed subject to help people understand
I have been fighting sugar addiction my whole life without success. 😥
S Wilkins give yourself 3 weeks. You will start to look at sugar filled foods as crap. After time goes by you will lose the taste for so many things and you will get to the point of not noticing when they are right in front of you. Work through it.
Me too..coz I love eating apple everyday. I dont eat icecream, candy etc. And no soda. But I eat apple everyday ! 😭
Try cutting way back on carbs. That helped my sugar addiction.
Well done and said, Becky and Keith! Love the mug...sugar free but still sweet...so true for you both!
Thank you for sharing, encouragement and your inspiration!
This was such a helpful and enlightening video, thank you!
Thank you so much for this video. I love all of your videos and your honesty about the good and the bad...thank you!!!
This is the most useful, honest video I've seen - you get it.
Great presentation! Love the honesty. So refreshing. Felt kinda like I was sitting there with the two of you. I’m not “on the other side of sugar” yet, not sure I really want to or just afraid of repeated relapses. Such a difficult social and family thing, with different tastes and preferences. I’ll keep watching. Grateful for what you’re doing. Thank you 🙏
Such a helpful discussion, thank you!
Thank you Dr Becky & Dr Keith! 🙂 (can relate to stress & emotional eating from my past. IF & low carb/keto has been a blessing for me. So glad I am on no longer controlled by “sugar addiction”)
Great video. And I will admit that I'm a sugar addict. But because of going through all sorts of illnesses, I'm proud to say that it's been 2 weeks since I've had sugar
Now this is with the exception of sugars that are in granola & yogurts, but still.
However, I hate to say that there's a cherry pie in the oven that's baking to celebrate my Mom's birthday & I think I'm going to have a piece. Ugh! I hate this. I won't have the crust, because I'm wheat/gluten free, but the filling I can have. Hopefully I can redeem myself afterwards.
But just to quick add, being off sugar is wonderful. I started to get more energy & less brain fog. It really is worth the struggle.
Great stuff, Dr Becky! Love your channel.
Thank you so much Dr Becky, I’m so glad I’ve found you. You talk really really sensibly about this subject. And I’ve subscribed and given you a thumbs up 👍 too. Please stay safe and well too
Aside from all the amazing content in both your channels, you guys are just so much fun to watch. You speak so straightforward and clear. This isn't seen so often on RUclips.
Becky, just started watching a few of your videos and I found them at the perfect moment. I have a history of sugar binges in which the side effects are somewhat deadly in my body but moreso the withdrawals when I try to eliminate it afterwards. Listening to all what you say and have experienced certainly reinforces all that I knew from my own research and experience but just love listening to your videos and how you simplify it all and stay honest. Thanks for doing these...keep them coming.
Oh, I love this talk, I'm on day 7 of the 40-day challenge. It's my sons birthday and mine next week! I see its a totally mental thing. Thank you both for this great youtube
Really helpful, thank you both
Outstanding interview!
Sugar is a legal drug!!!
Been off sugar for over 18 months, it stinks, LITERALLY!!! I am married to a fantastic baker over 40 years now. Many times when I come home from work the house if filled with an extensive of high amount of sugar and cake or cookie smell. The sugary smell in the air causes me to not feel well. Note: She'll make a whole cake or dozens of cookie for her self.
Seriously this hits home. I completely understand what she was saying..
The fact that you both have gone through this and come out the other side ... literally different people, is first of all fascinating, but it certainly adds credibility when you are able to share your own experiences, with the science -- and can describe it as breaking an addiction. Wow, what a powerful message, you both look and sound great! My wife and I are just getting started on Keto and IF -- we're really trying to support each other. My wife asked me if I was stalking you guys because I've been binge watching your videos. I've learned a lot and have thoroughly enjoyed them!
You guys are amazing and inspirational..Thank You!!
Thank you for your honesty. I love your presentations.
So glad I heard about your channel! I struggled with sugary daily habits and also mourned the loss when I changed those routines, but feel great without the excess sugar. Thank you both! Happy almost anniversary! (Ours is 5/15.)
Does quitting sugar also means no fruits at all ? Coz I love apple everyday 😭
Thank you this is a great video and helpful!
All I can say is thank you thank you thank you!!!! You are changing my life.
Been doing Keto for 2 yrs, during my journey it was important to me not to set the wrong example to my grand kids being overly obsessive and concerned about my diet. They certainly have noticed the 44 lb weight loss and ask me about why I don't eat certain foods, but I always try to have some kind of substitute for it, bread, sweats etc..., that way they see I am just making a different choice. I can have my treat after dinner with them and it satisfies me mentally from feeling deprived, and now the grand kids like the sugar free cookies too.
Great video!
I totally understand when you say sugar was part of your identity! I feel exactly the same way. I used to bake all the time for family and friends! But now, it's finally time to shed this part of me as I've descended into type 2 diabetes. I've cut back a lot on the sweets--now for all the added sugars to 'regular' food. Thanks for all your help! I've purchased your 21 day challenge and am shopping for it it this week and start in a few days. :-)
You two are so cute!! Thanks Dr. Becky & Dr. Keith for this "interview." It is so helpful to hear successful stories about overcoming sugar...it is such a pervasive problem. The "adding while subtracting" sure helps the brain feel not so deprived! The added fat really does cause satiation.
I did so well till christmas as we are all capricorns, cake was neverending. Now I ca not stop again and it is driving me crazy
I love the way y’all look at each other. ❤️❤️❤️ So much love. You adore one another and that’s so rare and beautiful.
Totally 💖💯
Great stuff.
This is so well timed thank you. I’m addicted to erythritol as I love sweet coffee but I suspect it’s spiking my insulin although it doesn’t affect my blood glucose reading. I decided this morning to cut it out and to have your strategies are going to help me 😘
Well done Dr! I’m a few years away from 60 and have been an addict since 5 years old. I experienced severe trauma as a kid and sugar replaced feelings of rejection and abandonment and soon became major source of comfort. It’s crazy as I do have a real healthy diet but have to have sweets everyday. I too eat for stress as a carer to a loved one who has major health complexes. I’ve decided to quit gradually and use my knowledge of good foods to replace some of the processed sweets I like. I’m not too overweight but am desperate to stop. I feel encouraged and will keep up looking for healthy things activities to help fill the void. I anticipate the challenge but am continuing to find ways. I also am in mourning for sugar and haven’t even given up yet
I quote you to my friends all the time when people ask about my success.
The 0123 strategy is so simple and easy to understand and follow.
Add before you subtract!
I use stoppers after every meal. Coffee is my go to!
I had been hearing so often that Keto was the way to go....but how? Cheese and Pepperoni?. You completely answered this for me so that I could do this in a healthy way! 💜
Pat Dyer I agree, healthy Keto is the best way.
Thank you🎉
It’s interesting that you choose to use mourning to describe your withdrawal. I too experienced the same emotional loss when I detoxed from sugar. I would have dreams for months longing for something sweet and deeply missing them. It took four months to detox and strop cravings and the feeling of loss. 5 years now on LCHF and I too feel AMAZING! I can’t go back.
Thomas Keets thanks for the comment. 🙂
Wow. Amazing journey.
What a great interviee 2 fit docs. Sugar is addicting. You have a bite of a sweet treat and than something snaps and you become 🥴🥴🥴🥴 and want more. Total an complete loss of control. Dark choc. Helps me.
Dark chocolate for sure (I buy 86-90% bars). I eat just 1-2 squares as a reward 1x a week or so. Sometimes with a bit of unsweetened peanut or almond butter on top.
Thank you.
Dr Becky, you mentioned your joints feeling better sugar free, have you noticed menopause symptoms being reduced or gone sugar free? That is a big "side-effect" that I have noticed. I hardly ever have hot flashes anymore. Thank you for your example and teachings!! I thoroughly enjoy them. God bless you and Keith :)
Thank you!
Thank you !! I have talked to my doctor about my sugar addiction, and it seems like she or anyone else thinks this is serious. I'm a bonafide sugar addit, and it's nice to hear you talk about the withdrawls and emotional affects this highly addictive substane really is, and is every bit a serious addiction. It's acceptable, encouraged by socials, and readily available, oh and legal!!! I'm taking g your suggestions on curbig and eliminating this deadly addition.. zThank you so very much !!!Viewingfrom, Fort Smith, Arkansas..
Interesting and thought-provoking conversation, much needed today, thank you and keep 'em coming!
Your story gives me so much encouragement and hope. I am now where you were then. If it’s not too personal of a question, could you share your heaviest weight? I just wanted to get an appreciation of how far you’ve come.
Someone once said to me that quitting smoking is like separating from your best friend, although I never smoked, I think you are right that you go through a grieving process, I feel deserted from my emotional “friend “ that used to help me through and its been tough to reroute my brain and get it to focus on other things. It’s the moment that I can’t control that makes me want to eat. It’s a cruel addiction.
I love if you guys start a podcast I watch your video all the time to move forward ⏩ in this journey. Just a little discussion for not to miss you guys. 😭😀
I started the low sugar life, after watching your video about a 40 day start to intermittent fasting and tracking it on a calendar. I cross out each day like you said and keep track of my progress. You were right the first few days were really rough. But I am on my 16th day and feeling much better now. I am also going through perimenopause. I have noticed my knees don’t hurt when I walk up stairs now. I used to have to take one step at a time sometimes. Now I run up and down stairs and sometimes forget how painful it was just a short while ago. I’ve asked my family for no birthday cake. Like you both said, it’s a bummer for a short while, but it passes. I try to look at it as a recovery stance because I was severely addicted. I watched my grandmother die at the young age of 63 after a debilitating battle with diabetes which included dialysis 3 times a week. A few years ago my doctor told me, you’re going to get diabetes, I would rather you got it in your 90’s than in your 50’s. Thanks again for these helpful videos. 🦋
you done your self proud, congratulation .
Thank you, one more time for your amazing conversation, I would like to know what do you think to eat almond with salt during those situations? 🙏🙏
Do you ever eat Rebel or Enlightened ice cream? Love your videos! So real and I love how loving you are with one another!
Your so right on the change of taste. I I used to drink 2 L of Coke a day then after giving up on it for a few months I had another Coke and I didn’t like the taste.
Two years on KETO and the addiction issues are still there. This is the only lifestyle that has allowed me to finally come to terms with my eating issues, in that I finally, for the first time in 45 years, know what it is to feel "satiated" or "full" physically. Now, I can focus on the food addiction, mental/emotional side of my journey. In the last 3 months I have had many NSVs of being able to enjoy some family celebrations and stay focused, not give in to the "one bite" mentality that derails all my healthy success. I am embracing the idea, just like with alcohol for some folks & having "one drink", that "one" is not worth it for me anymore. As time goes on, and we have so many options now that if we plan a little we can stay successful and not feel like we are missing out. I keep plenty of KETO snacks made in the fridge or ready on the shelves so when my family maybe has a treat I have an alternative. Also, the personal grace for ourselves that if we do indulge in some higher carbs, to just get refocused on the next snack/meal. It's crazy that big pharma and processed food companies have hurt so many of us, all in the name of profits. Blessings & Keto-On, be it clean , dirty or lazy.
Mourning carbs, thank God I don't like sweets too! I never knew carbs were sugar!!!
My sugar addiction has gone down drastically. It used to be daily, now it varies and can go three days straight without. And if I do, it’s usually something truly special. Still a work in process.
In November of last year, November 2nd, I stopped eating processed sugar, then started working out after 2.5 years of doing nothing while recovering from cancer and chemotherapy. I weighed 237lbs at the time. Within 2 weeks I lost 10lbs and never looked back. I now weigh 195lbs, in great shape, feel great, cancer totally in remission. I'm 71 years old, can pass for 60 and do. Some people guess my age in late 50's.
Sugar i have discovered, is great tasting poison that alters mood, adds belly fat, makes me feel sluggish and tired.
I do eat a little fruit daily, usually a banana for breakfast an orange or apple after dinner. No cakes, no cookies, no candy, and I feel fantastic
Keep sharing your testimony! Lord knows no big company is going to pay for the research to push through to the lobbyist to get laws or protections into place for what is put on shelves for us to eat. Beautiful job on restoring your health. Blessings & KETO-On.
Such a relief !! I thought giving up sugar means not being able to eat apple..do you eat apple everyday? Coz I wanna quit sugar but i love eating apple everyday.
@@azabujuban-hito8085 you can eat apples every day. Watch Dr Becky videos and she will tell you exactly what you need to know about processed sugar and fruit

Thank you. This video is spot on the mark. You have explained exactly the same things that I went through. Good job! Great Video 👌👍
The more nutrient rich foods a person eats, the less they will crave carbs and sugary things. I eat very high nutritious foods, but I do treat myself sometimes. I’m a very healthy 60 years old, and I’m grateful that I love all vegetables.
