    It’s horrible. I am 10 years clean from alcohol and a couple of other outside issues. I just got over withdrawal from sugar and refined carbs, and believe me, I had withdrawals. Maybe because of my past opioid use, but it was close to that withdrawal. Whole body pain, insomnia, you name it. Doing much better now and I feel so much better! My brain functions are back after damn near dementia, and I have more stamina, and can feel joy for a change.😂 Plus I’m skinny again. I highly recommend quitting.

      Thank you for your posting! I have insomnia, severe short term memory loss that’s scaring me and whole body pain that I couldn’t relate to any particular activity. My doctor ordered bloodwork that didn’t reveal a cause. But sugar addiction screams loud and clear. I am a sugar addict but I didn’t realize what I was experiencing was from sugar. Certainly makes sense now. This very day, April 14, 2024 is the first day of my going off sugar and with the Lord’s grace being successful!

    I would like to see more (ANY) studies done to test how reducing sugar can help fight cancer. Without going into detail... I was diagnosed with an aggressive cancer, was at stage 4. The DNA testing on the tumor estimated a 5 year life expectancy. I followed the recommended life extension treatments. I ALSO eliminated ALL sugar sources from my diet. NOW, I am testing as cancer free in under one year! AND I lost over 80 pounds and feel great. No longer on blood pressure pills. In my opinion, if your Doctor / Nutritionist do not recommend on every visit that you switch to a LOW sugar or Sugar Free Diet, you need to take action for yourself and even look for another health care practitioner.

      You can't eliminate your blood sugar, you need it to survive. This is glucose in your blood. I have read that cancer cells need more sugar than normal cells. Web MD says cancer cells need 200 times as much glucose. Web MD also says that being fat can cause cancer and high insulin can cause cancer. Then it says eating a lot of sugar does cause spikes in insulin, so during the spikes the cancer could initiate. So best to lose weight and keep your blood sugar down.

I think it’s like some alcoholics- only total abstinence works and it’s worth the decrease of fatigue and up and down emotions. Don’t give up. You can get there

    Cold turkey is easier if you learn how to do total fasting.
    I found out that bread was deal breaker.
    I could not just have one slice.
    Chocolate was different somehow.
    So the trigger for me is bread and must be totally avoided in my case.
    I fast at least eighteen hours most days and then total fast for 36 hours once o'er week.
    Eating fat like butter or lard and not being afraid of it has helped me escape the sugar trap.

      Omg. Browned butter bites are sooo good. I highly recommend making them and keeping them either in your fridge or freezer and if you feel a craving for candy or cookies eat one of them. I make them in a little candy mold (mine happens to be shaped like hearts) and it works out to a little over 1/2 Tbs each. I can eat 1 and it takes care of that craving (for me anyway) . If you have a sweet tooth I recommend this trick highly

    Dr Lustig makes a point that fructose is the addictive substance, in contrast to glucose. I can think of lots of counter examples. I loved to eat macaroni. As I understand, that's not fructose. It breaks down to glucose. Also I ate potatoes. I don't eat them now, because I am diabetic now. I used to eat bread and butter.

      Yes, my mom literally drowns in sugar, every day i see on kitchen table big chocolate, cookies, then she drinks coffee with added sugar etc.
      But the daily sugar intake that doctor mentioned is not accurate, its based on how much can liver metabolize. Because its not same if person eats 25 grams of sugar in single meal, or divided in 3 meals with several hours apart, then absorption is more balanced, even if person eats 40 grams is in my opinion better then its divided in 4 meals than 25 grams in single meal

C'mon use your brain. Sugar consumption has declined significantly in the USA in the last twenty years. Obesity has kept going up at the same rate.

      Dr Lustig is very passionate about human anatomy and public health.
      What *is* surprising is his admission about caffeine - as it's a cerebral vasoconstrictor and considering how important white brain matter is, you would think he might eschew it in that regard. I imagine most things in moderation are equally helpful.

    Healthy eating starts with healthy shopping. It helps to know that the grocery industry only gives you the illusion of choice. In reality they want to control everything you eat. I only buy single ingredient foods and I do all my food preparation myself. Well, OK, I allow myself some splurges but, for the most part, I never buy processed foods or even foods with more than one ingredient. The quickest easiest way to improve your shopping health is to avoid anything in a brightly coloured package.

    I buy glucose from the wine making store and make sweet drinks. It is about half as sweet as Fructose so you just add twice the amount. I think the total calories is about the same. It is also called Dextrose and also called Corn Sugar. Then I add fizz with a soda stream.
    This way you avoid the fructose molecule , it is hard on your liver.
    When I was younger I could make a whole bowl of icing from icing sugar, butter, milk ,vanilla and eat the whole bowl. No problem and I was not fat. Then a bakery opened up across the street from our house when I was about 12 years old. Eddies Austrian Bakery. The baked good they made were just amazing. Long john, coated in chocolate icing with a sugary filling. I could eat lots of those and they had strudel and all kinds of squares. lemon chocolate, I have never found such an amazing bakery anywhere since. They went out of business about 10 years later. It was Eddy's son , Eddy junior that didn't know how to run a business.
    I also got a job at the bakery and we got all the donuts and long johns and whatever we could eat for coffee time. Then I learned to make sliced bread with the machine and bag it and dipped the long johns in hot chocolate to coat them and they were going to teach me more but they went out of business. Then I got a job at McDonalds, which was the first one to open in the city. They actually made the French fries from potatoes. They had a big drum to peel the potatoes and then a slicing machine.
    I was never fat and my blood sugar is still low. I used to always be cold as a kid so maybe I had low blood sugar. I used to sit on the hot air register to warm up. I could eat nothing but sweets and donuts and cake all day long with no meat or vegetables at all. If I didn't know it was all junk food and bad for you, I would just eat that all the time now.

    Simple way is to not eat any sugar. Once you quit, after a while you get used to it and you won't miss the sugar. Sugar is terrible for you, so unhealthy for the body. Sugar from fruits isn't bad, plus it's not added sugar.

    About 3 weeks ago I stopped eating sugar, or most of it. I have used a spritz of maple syrup once or twice. I've only eaten whole food, real food, no meat. I stopped because I realized I was getting the jitters from sugar related hunger pangs and glucose spikes. It's working! I'm 75, and I've abused my body for a long time. It's never too late to learn or to change. in fact, change is guaranteed. With regard to withdrawal, I ate fruit instead, along with my rice, beans, greens and grains. I've tempered the fruit some now.

My younger brother and I have struggled with weight on off all our lives . I am trying to be as carnivore as I possibly can. Thyroid problems, adrenal fatigue , perimenopause, think close to menopause. My mother and father diabetic,father ended up with cancer died 2005, brain cancer, now my mom has heart problems after diabetes diagnosis, 2 years ago April almost died from high blood sugar, now WAY UNDER CONTROL were it should be, now has heart issues *** Yes heart problems in her family side *** my younger brother had a heart murmur as a child. Baby pictures with my dad he was overweight not obese but overweight. He died 2 months shy of my 20 birthday……I was 19. Not yet 20. Now I am almost 39 and I have almost lost my mother a few times in the last few years …..diabetes diagnosis changed her diet huge her blood sugar is down to almost normal on Berberine. And had a major heart scare in the last year and a half almost killing me , under tremendous stress from it has led to adrenal fatigue, my blood pressure drops very low at night. I actually fainted a month ago. Now I keep a blood pressure cuff in my bed at night…..the battery operated ones and sea salt 🧂 available at bedside . I also bought Sea salt capsules I have extreme dizziness at night. Adrenals are bad. I would be dead if my father lived and taken care of 2 sick parents.

    Fatty liver test went from 26 to 32.
    Uric acid was 7.8.
    How can my metabolic health get worse when I cut out 90% of the junk I was eating? I’m at a loss and I’m worried about my uric acid and sugar.

      HiJim: those numbers are puzzling. I have a few thoughts : did you gain any weight because the body can make its own sugar ( gluconeogenesis) from protein and fats especially if the calories count is too high. Are you eating large amounts of fruit? The body cannon ert excess fructose to glucose. What are you drinking? Both soda and fruit juice are literally liquid sugar and can mess with your metabolism. Sports drinks are often high in sugar. One of Dr. Lustigs videos mentioned an athlete whose performance was deteriorating, he was as prediabetic and had to quit his sports drink. Also you said you quit 90 % of the junk food you were eating . This implies you are still eating some junk food.i suggest testing suspicious items with a glucometer to see which foods are spikingyour sugar. You could also test blood sugar one hour after a meal.

    Every single time I watch videos on this topic I see a verry common question: " are there studies to support this "?
    Do you actually think this man can talk like this for an hour or 2 at a time and just make this up??? LOL.
    This guy knows EXACTLY what he's talking about due to "studies" for years.
    If he posted the medical studies he's been observing for years do you think people would actually read them and retain?? We live in a society where people form opinions based on a couple sentences they read on Facebook and create enemies with someone because they were too lazy to research what the truth may have been. What makes anyone think someone would read medical research where they can't pronounce the words anyway??
    Just LISTEN to what he recommends and see how healthy you get. It's hard to swap to this lifestyle like this but you CAN if you try hard enough.
    That will be the "study" people are looking for 😊
    I personally think when people ask this question, some not all, are basically saying this man is talking out of his a** and they want to read the medical data that proves this when they damn sure will not.
    If you are one of those people, ask the food industry to provide medical data showing that cheerios reduces cholesterol and that Nutella is a fine way to start your kids nutritional day off with a big 30 oz cup of sunny delight and then eat healthy fruit snacks out of a bag 3 times a day.
    But hey...it says it on the package so it's 100% been clinically studied and the proof is in the pudding because my kid is 7 years old and weighs 110 lbs and just got diagnosed with type 2 diabetes.

There are many people who have started eating a carnivore diet in which they eat zero carbohydrate, and some have been doing it for 40-50+ years without any problem. In fact, many say that eating no carbs is healthy and can reverse many issues, including autoimmune, skin, gastrointestinal and mental health issues.
