Came across this video around 7am. I was about to eat a bowl of cereal. I threw it out and made some eggs instead for breakfast. Thank you Dr. Berg for the reminder this morning.
I did an experiment at college for a week and we presented our findings to the class. My group eliminated grains and sugars (even natural sugars and balsamic vinegar.) 3 days in I had a migraine (I expected that) after that I had cold like symptoms for a couple of days. After a week, it was like my brain woke up. I was motivated, sharp, and even more energetic. I slept so well, and my clothes were noticeably looser, yet I never felt hungry. My back pain disappeared too, which had been really bad. Some things like cashews tasted so much sweeter. I wish I'd kept it up. I'm going to do it again. Trust me, the benefits are amazing!
The body stores toxins in fat so when you burn fat the toxins recirculated through your body unless your liver has enough B-vitamins to detox. B is one of harder vitamins to get, but Doc says nutritional yeast is a good source which is just toasted yeast.
@@BlackJesus8463yes, but beware, most of them have the b and other vitamins synthesized, they do only harm and no good. You can search, and maybe find B1 and B12 real, but unlikely. Much better to consume red meat, eggs, and some fish
I am 65 years old and I stopped eating processed, convenience, and fast food decades ago simply because they are too expensive. I am still active and am the same weight that I was in college. Periodically, I will have a pancake, a small bowl of pasta, or a glass of wine. My sweetener is stevia or Bocha brand. Thankfully, they cost enough to keep me from being the dessert baker that I used to be. My three main sources of food are meat, eggs, and vegetables. I am forwarding this video to two friends who are in dire need of this education. Unfortunately, many of the people who receive this message will still continue with their bad habits and addictions. I appreciate you doing this. Hearing it from me doesn't help. Thank you, Dr. Berg.
How is processed foods is expensive? I find keto is the most expensive thing ever. You don’t just buy any eggs they have to be pasture raised organic blah blah. And that’s not $3 for a dozen. It’s $9 at Whole Foods. Keto mayo with great ingredients? Sure just give us $10 per small jar
I stopped eating sugar six weeks ago and faced some withdrawal symptoms during the first days. Now, in the seventh week, I feel my body gets used to it. The type of addiction that sugar causes is very disturbing. Thanks a lot for the knowledge around that topic.
No bread or wheat products inc pasta, rice, potatoes, vegetables inc salads - as they all convert to sugar. So I guess you have gone to a carnivore / lion diet?
A while ago I started eating more yogurt, trying to be healthier, and it tasted good. Until I read the ingredients and found out that one small yogurt had about one third of my daily dose of sugar.
I was pre-diabetic, and I quit sugar and went on Keto. Not only did I lose 110 lbs all together, but when I went back to the doctor 6 months later, I was no longer pre-diabetic. Thanks Doc.
@@lisadipasquale6121 it's possible your ratios were off. Under 20 carbs and unrefined fats at 50-75% and remaining of animal proteins, seems best for virtually everyone diabetic. Sometimes a change in the range, makes the difference alone.
Being realistic, the easiest way to quit sugar is by quitting whatever other poisons, drugs, toxins, bad habits, etc.! Man, do I feel amazing! 🙌 Y'all be easy! 🙂
True about quitting all the other toxins ,that being said actual organic sugar cane that you can pick and peel it and juice it and drink it just like that or freeze dry it for your own crystals are actually good for you it have vitamins and minerals that are good for you and actually protect you from cancer but don't go crazy on it lol but eating it the way they process it actually causes cancer because they strip it bare of everything good that is in it.
Maybe for some but not everyone…me included…I only allowed approved food in my house and eradicated EVERYTHING not approved so when cravings came (usually at night), I would have to get in my car and drive to the store. I did drive to the store maybe 5% of the time. At the time, I was living with my Alzheimer’s ridden mother caring for her before she went to memory care. When I moved back to my house with my wife and son, it was not Keto proof so I had to beg them to hide and lock away the unapproved food. Eventually, they came around and joined my new way of eating and guess what? They started losing weight. Two years ago, I lost 73 lbs from my peak weight. Today, I am still at my desired weight, eating Keto, OMAD and walking 8 miles every other day. I’m also free from the 7 medications I had been taking for 20 plus years.
its been three weeks completely sugar free. Feeling so much better health wise- my face fat has simmered down, less bloated, less moody and cranky, of course feeling so much lighter in my figure. NEVER going back to consuming sugar ever again 😷
Me too, I've just started the blood sugar diet week 4, but I have stopped sleeping so i think i need carbs? still, I stopped sugar and I've been addicted my whole life, I binge sugar because of low dopamine and I'm 64. Its been really hard but I did it.
My wife is finally on board with me on this! She’s down almost 10lbs (water weight) but she is starting to feel better. Shes even doing OMAD comfortably!She’s had a host of health problems, physical and mental, and I can’t wait to see her transformation!
I’m 22, and i stopped eating sugar 7 years ago and i never felt any good before that. But i was making one mistake that i quit on all kinds of sugar, even fruits which lead me to hypoglycemia. So now i try to eat a variety of fruits & veggies to keep the necessary amount of sugar in my body. But to anyone reading this, processed sugar is a poison and should be cut off forever. Just consume small amounts of natural sugars from fruits and other stuff to keep your glucose levels stable and you’re all good. Btw, amazing content one again and i’m sure a lot of people will follow it to change their lifestyle
You needed minerals not fruit sugar,I haven't had fruit or vegetables for more than a yr ,I drink sea salt water diluted or distilled water with a teaspoon of Celtic sea salt,feel great and I just live off all meats.
""consume small amounts of natural sugars"" This you can eat fruits but in moderation, its nature's candy so dont overdo it. But fruits are healthy, they come with fiber and phytonutrients. Oh and best is organic. I hope you have the money for thuis
Thanks to Dr Berg I’ve been completely off sugar for 3 1/2 years now. I look at least ten years younger. I went from size 10 to size 4. I feel energetic and happy all the time!
Eh, maybe hair caliber is thicker? I doubt it helps with density. Usually hairloss from diet is from a really really bad malnutrition. You see plenty of obese people with amazing hair and plenty of healthy people balder than a billiard ball Male haireloss is mainly from DHT and it's downstream effects. You may get telogen effluvium from very extreme stress,trauma or malnutrition but diet is rarely a fix for hairloss in the way most men lose it
Dr. Berg I’m 16 right now. But I’m sure if I continue living a healthy life, I’ll lengthen my life by at least a bit longer. I have a new goal for myself, it’s to watch an educational video like this, every day, to take care of myself and increase my knowledge on multiple topics ❤
I don't know how I'm still alive. I grew up eating soooo much sugar, I mean way too much, right into my late 50s. I'm 64 now, and while my sugar consumption is still a little high, I've cut back and continue to cut back. I've known how bad sugar is for years, but I'm taking serious steps now to get rid of it altogether. This video is a HUGE help!
He has lots of good videos and his content is good overall. But I caution you to not blindly "drink the kool-aid". Basically saying, whenever you read something or watch something, don't just accept it, but question it. Critical thinking should be a major aspect of our lives from school age until we die. Question things, analyze things, research things from multiple sources, draw your own conclusions. Don't blindly follow what someone says. This isn't to take away from the doctor's videos. He does make good content. But this will help you grow in your understanding of something, which is a good thing.
I find the easiest way to kick cravings for sugar, is to get a pickled and spicy food craving. Pickles, spicy pickled green beans, spicy pimento-stuffed olives, sourkraut, kimchi, pickled carrots, etc.
I did intermittent fasting, along with completely cutting sugar out of my diet and went from being almost 250 lb to 185lb in 3 months without going to the gym. Absolutely amazing! Thank you Dr. Berg!
Just got blood work results, I’m pre-diabetic. 38 years young, been feeling like crap lately, noticed some strange things going on with my legs. I’m going to crack down on my diet and lifestyle. In a way I’m glad this has happened, it’s inspiring me to study food production and spread awareness of just how toxic our food supply is. Thanks Berg
Chris here, I’m currently exorcising sugar from my diet too. Started with candy and useless sweets, and has now shifted to coffee. Just getting used to it without sugar is a challenge some days, but I feel like the dividends will be worth it in the long run. My nutrition journey and this mission to improve my diet are a direct result of me realizing I was suffering from erectile dysfunction. At a fairly young age too. Seed oils, processed foods and sugary snacks and carbs as s diet for years. My physical lifestyle and military history really mean nothing. I’m dealing with years of cellular abuse, who knows what else and it’s probably going to take years to restore function; if at all .. I don’t know. What i do know is that I can take control of whether or not to ingest sugar. Because ultimately, I believe it’s the ultimate catalyst for disease, this is just my opinion for me. Don’t give up and Good luck everyone.
sometimes ED is also from from corn with a p. And you said military lifestyle,,,.similar to hospital nurses, adrenaline junkie, so likely dopamine deficiency which is why you turned to sugar. I love that you said "exorcized"....addictions are from the devil! Good work! Keep going, keep growing...
Quitting sugar has been the best step made ever after watching your videos when I found your channel a couple of years ago and benefits are amazing! Currently enjoying blackberries straight from my garden. Thank you so much, Dr Berg ❤😊
@@kathypileggi7650True but it's nearly impossible to avoid.Yeah don't buy it but, even going to the store or bank they always want to offer my daughter candy,look at all the holidays , birthdays, anniversaries,it's constant. We struggled but did well with this up until my daughter turned about 5.We would turn down fast food and everything ,no trick or treating, people act like you are depriving your kid, but I know better
I have the limb chopping conversation all the time with Patients and I’m an OT. Part of our role is lifestyle medicine. I meet type II diabetics all the time that still eat candy bars, Cheetos, you name it. You walk into their room and it looks like a DKA crime scene, crackers all over the floor, candy bar wrappers. Food addiction is out of control. Good for you being blunt in this video, Americans need it now more than ever. Diabetes isn’t a mystery and neither is heart disease. So many Doctors burn out, prescribe the medications and call it a day. Healthcare has become a customer service industry. Thank you for going the extra mile. Every pre diabetic person should see this video!
I weened myself off sweetened ice tea and coffee long ago. I only consume them unsweetened. If I have a treat like ice cream, I definitely notice a difference in how my body feels. I've become very aware of my body's reaction to certain foods. I definitely don't want to have any chronic diseases.
Several unexpected things happened to me after conquering sugar. I had a very bad scalp itch that went away. While hiking I used to get pain in my hips. I thought it was because my belt restricted blood flow, no. I can tolerate mosquito bites. I'm not trying to get bitten, but the itch only lasts about 3 minutes, then I feel perfectly fine. I've been given a whole lot of gifts I was never asking for :)
Im on keto and have been for several months now. I have gone from 258 to 190 (fluctuations up to 195 ) and i am still losing size. Thank you for all of the info
I’m saving this video forever to explain to people because this is EXACTLY what happened to ME! I was ~250 blood sugar and 13.9 A1C, I got real skinny and couldn’t absorb anything. Was always tired. Everything broke down. I started puking and discharging blood and my mouth was dry and legs were cramping. The doctor gave me an insulin pen, but I didn’t want to depend on that long term. So I completely changed my diet like Dr. Berg recommended. I found him after doing some research. Now I haven’t had any sugar for 18 months now and completely reversed 20 years of sugar damage. I wish I could go back and tell my teenage self to avoid sugar. Never going back to sugar or processed food.
You can't reverse 20 years of sugar damage. This is not to discourage your amazing recovery and better quality of health and hopefully long life, but what you said above factually doesn't undo 20 years cell damage.
@@ErnstHeinze-iw4gqit's not negativity. I'm just saying that there's usually some permanent damage. Maybe you could still live average span. It's hard to say. I'm just saying that you can't undo damage to that extent.
"They have to start chopping off the toes and the legs ... amputations. But other than that, you're gonna be perfectly fine." 😂❤😂 You gotta love the doc
Thanks for the video very informative. I’m four weeks in on a carnivore diet and I cannot believe the results. No more pain. It is amazing to feel like this. I now can sleep through the night full of energy. Still have to tweak my diet a little but this feeling is astonishing, I will never eat process sugar again in my life anyone out there who has doubts please try this diet for 30 days. You will not believe how amazing you Will feel.
Thank you, Dr. Berg, for shedding light on the harmful effects of sugar! It's alarming how much it's hidden in everyday foods, and your explanation really helps people understand the serious health risks involved. I’ve noticed such a positive change in my own health since cutting down on sugar, and I appreciate all the valuable information you share to keep us informed and healthy!
Thank you Dr. Berg! You just don’t know how you saved my life from consuming too much sugar to my body. I bumped into your channel last year in September 2023. I learned about Keto and started doing it. From then on, I was able to control my cravings for sugar, learned how to eat healthy, and only eat when hungry. Thank you so much for all that you do to help us…. Millions of your followers to learn how to stay healthy…..
I cut out added sugar about 5 years ago. For the first 4 days i had the most vivid dreams about eating sugary breakfast cereal. The frosted flakes i ate in my dreams was the best tasting thing I've ever had in my life. At the beginning of the summer I went to a BBQ and decided i was going to drink a can of coke. It was disgustingly sugarery and I felt like crap for the rest of the day.
I got giradias a few years ago and it forced me to eliminate refined sugar from my diet. Talk about a blessing in disguise! I lost 25lbs and I feel so much better all the time. I eat a sweet treat now and then, but nothing will make me go back to the way I ate before!
A little testamony for you. My wife challenged me to the 2 week thing...almost zero sugar for 14 days....that was about 2 months ago. My blood pressure went from 140/88 to 113/75 yesterday. Heart rate went from 88 to 72 at rest. My mind is more clear and my energy level is definitely up and my complection is far less red. I've lost 12 lbs and my feet feel better. I'm a big man (6'1") and 227. I'm not fat, I have big arms and legs. I don't believe in BMI bullcrap..BMI 31 is not obese on everyone. I have 17" arms...not everyone is the same. Be 69 this friday and feel great! Your lectures on sugar hit home and it is working for me. No more morning headaches or lack of energy mid day. No hype...all true. BTW...don't drink or smoke...for quite a long time. I also fly for a living...I was on the verge of losing my medical certificate (140BP) and this changed everything for my career as well. I'm also in a rock band with 3 other guys near my age.
I clicked the like button at the beginning of episode because i know that i will definitely benefit from what dr berg says,so i will not wait until the episode ends
Back in the years and in my childhood days I never know the danger sugar causes to your health. I have learned and still do from all your videos and it makes me aware and understand the danger of sugar. Thank you Dr. Eric Berg. You are a life saver.
I´m a daily 10K runner but also love a Mars bar or similar daily. This video finally pushed me to try at least a week without processed sugars. Will eat fruits instead.
Thank you for the informative video. So many ignorant people who still claim that "sugar isnt so bad, fruit has sugar and fruit is healthy for you!" Also, if you look around an average grocery, next time you're there just take a look around at some average boxed products and note how much sugar is in each product. SO MANY products are easily 20%+ sugar only. It's scary.
Dr Berg you are the man! I would often have that sensation in my ear and never knew why and no doctor I encountered could give me an answer as to why it occurs. I also understand why I have the potassium issue too and why I suffer from cramps a lot! Thank you!
Yes, me too!! It doesn’t happen all the time and I always wondered if it was my blood pressure or something. Potassium being too low makes perfect sense to me.
I have had an iliostomy for a year now. I am not allowed to have fiber , vegetables, grains certain meats, nuts & such. Seems like I can have all the bad stuff! My life has changed I miss my healthier eating. I have no colon & a small portion of small bowel removed too. I just had a few hours to live . My colon was a stone. I’m truly relying on the Lord . I’m becoming more active again but tire quickly which I fight through. I wear a bag & what I do consume goes through very quickly. My Dr. Told me to slowly go back into eating what I want. Wait a few days between. But I have to be careful
Stay close to Him …He made you …He can heal you ….HE healed me of something that could have been deadly 🙏🙏🙏I’m still in awe believe Him , trust Him …rest IN HIM
I’m sorry you’ve been so sick with surgeries and all. I believe your recovery will be greater than you have expected. I’m praying for your continued healing.
Thank you. People who know me are amazed at my recovery. It’s just getting this eating right. I know I am only here by the grace of God as at the time the surgeon was ready to give up on me. The RN said keep going. ( HolySpirit) I’ve come a long way and if anyone can be completely healed I believe I can! He did not suffer for us greatly in vain! So I am standing in faith in God . I will see the complete manifestation of that healing. Thank you so much for prayers. In the meantime I will press into Him & do what I must do.
Always a pleasure to continue learning from you even hearing what I know already to really keep what I know living In my brain and keep the motivation going
I was a 3 pack a day smoker at one point. Have been nicotene free for the past 7 years. I'm not exagerrating when I say fear the withdrawals of getting off "sugar" than I had with those cancer sticks.
@boink800 If you have a sweet tooth and glaze that steak with a brown sugar topping with onions, spicy peppers, etc... My point is that you can take a harmless piece of meat, add sweet embellishments, and turn it into unhealthiness.
@@Ir-of4zn I never add any sugar to my meat, never. I eat mostly carnivore. Yesterday I had a four duck egg omelette, then I ate two huge Weisswurst (sausages).
Thank you. I knew sugar was bad but I needed a reminder. I went on strict Keto years ago and lost a ton of weight so I knew all the research behind the bad effects of sugar however now I have been letting myself eat sugar these days and thought "well I'm not trying to lose weight anymore so its okay" but I have to remember it's not just about the weight! It's about overall health so thank you for the reminder. ❤
Thank you Dr. Berg! I just put down that box of cereal and picked up the shredded wheat. I know wheat is not the greatest, but this is all I have until I get to the store. Thank you.
I have chronic anxiety past weeks, i attributed it to sugar. I have started my Keto journey and cutting down sugar. I hope my anxiety clears off. I hate anxiety
I’ve been doing low carb. The past few weeks. I cannot quit sugar cold turkey. I’m doing 50 to 70 carbs. Yesterday I did a cheat meal, chick pea pasta and cassava rolls. High key chocolate chip cookies. I probably had 125 to 150 carbs. Today I feel fine. I wanna get back to keto. I just eat fruit or those almond flour cookies, or the mills crackers ( non gluten). Fruits I like the most are honeydew, watermelon, grapes and cantaloupe. I really appreciate your work, Dr Berg!
I had such a hard time giving up sugar for Lent one year that I never went back to the same level of consumption. It’s hard if you live in America. Sugar is everywhere! There is candy at FedEx. Absurd!
@@camillesamples8790That’s very true sugar is in just about everything and it’s really bad in the low fat stuff if it has more than 3 ingredients listed you shouldn’t be eating it.
In my experience once I started intermittent fasting and meditation daily. I was able to completely get rid of my sugar addiction. Also making some deserts out of healthier ingredients definitely help as well.
Hi Dr. Berg, This is a great explanation. I’m an RMT and a Functional Medicine Nutritionist. My patients sadly in Canada are unable to ask for their fasting insulin to be done. It’s always HbA1C. Sadly, this will not reflect an insulin resistant scenario. Our system is one of show symptoms first vs. preventative. An ND can often order, but patients pay a premium for the test “privately”. Also, when patients have a higher allostatic load, we will often see higher fasting insulin as a factor that shows their body is struggling metabolically. Poor hydration and a higher fasting insulin with low fibre intake is an internal time bomb. Chronic pain is also worse with a higher fasting insulin amongst other factors. Thank you for providing this information in such a clear format. You are an educator. It’s critical to for people to hear the sugar story.
@@Drberg As a practitioner, I appreciate the deep dive into Physiology, and a great explanation to help the public understand how what they eat affects health and longevity. That’s why I trained Functionally. You are inspiring. We need more Dr. Berg’s.
This is a good video Dr. I have been reducing processed sugar for about 2 months now, just having a difficult time of removing sugar from having coffee but I will get there
Monk fruit is the most natural choice. I'm using allulose because it won't absorb by my body, but it has a very low safe max consumption. Sugar alcohol is not the best sweetener choice, go with monk fruit.
Im hypoglycemic and I definitely feel better going carnivore/keto and cutting waaay back on sugar especially processed. When my blood sugar gets low I eat something with high protein and fat and I always feel much better
I'm working on transitioning into Keto and sugar free foods entirely. It's difficult to change everything but so far I'm doing great! I hope you make videos more specifically to foods and brands to help keep going strong!
This video really made me rethink my whole diet and really want to get my diet in order. It’s truly hard because I live paycheck to paycheck and it’s hard to afford a healthy diet. That’s one of the biggest reasons I eat all this junk food because I just don’t have the money to eat right all the healthy food is so much more money. I’d truly love if you could do a video on healthy food on a budget. Thank you truly for sharing your knowledge and opening my eyes. I wish you all the best stay awesome 🙋♂️✌️
You got me, hard core sugar addict but bound to change!! Most knowledgeable sugar info I have ever seen and definitely a huge life changer for me! Thank You Dr. Berg!💕
I stopped using sugar, and trying to avoid every product that has even small amount of sugar and I can say it was the best desicion ever. I only eat fruits when I want something sweet and I have lost 4kg and all my belly fat.
I regularly went to the gym like 3x a week. From 36 waistline now 32. My diabetes type 2 and fatty liver are also healing by avoiding processed sugar in most of my diet
Ppl miss this last point. Sugar is bad period. But some sugar is worse than others. Just bc there's sugar in fruit, doesn't mean that that sugar is not going to cause you problems, bc its not the "bad sugar".

Sugar is simply part of whole body health
It is a system not a group of singularaties
Maybe for some but not everyone…me included…I only allowed approved food in my house and eradicated EVERYTHING not approved so when cravings came (usually at night), I would have to get in my car and drive to the store. I did drive to the store maybe 5% of the time. At the time, I was living with my Alzheimer’s ridden mother caring for her before she went to memory care. When I moved back to my house with my wife and son, it was not Keto proof so I had to beg them to hide and lock away the unapproved food. Eventually, they came around and joined my new way of eating and guess what? They started losing weight. Two years ago, I lost 73 lbs from my peak weight. Today, I am still at my desired weight, eating Keto, OMAD and walking 8 miles every other day. I’m also free from the 7 medications I had been taking for 20 plus years.
...gobbledygook.
its been three weeks completely sugar free. Feeling so much better health wise- my face fat has simmered down, less bloated, less moody and cranky, of course feeling so much lighter in my figure. NEVER going back to consuming sugar ever again 😷
Me too, I've just started the blood sugar diet week 4, but I have stopped sleeping so i think i need carbs? still, I stopped sugar and I've been addicted my whole life, I binge sugar because of low dopamine and I'm 64. Its been really hard but I did it.
Good, stick to it👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Yes you will...it's in everything
My wife is finally on board with me on this! She’s down almost 10lbs (water weight) but she is starting to feel better. Shes even doing OMAD comfortably!She’s had a host of health problems, physical and mental, and I can’t wait to see her transformation!
Need to get her fasting if she can. Already lost 10 lbs so she probably fat adjusted by now.

I’m 22, and i stopped eating sugar 7 years ago and i never felt any good before that. But i was making one mistake that i quit on all kinds of sugar, even fruits which lead me to hypoglycemia. So now i try to eat a variety of fruits & veggies to keep the necessary amount of sugar in my body. But to anyone reading this, processed sugar is a poison and should be cut off forever. Just consume small amounts of natural sugars from fruits and other stuff to keep your glucose levels stable and you’re all good. Btw, amazing content one again and i’m sure a lot of people will follow it to change their lifestyle
You needed minerals not fruit sugar,I haven't had fruit or vegetables for more than a yr ,I drink sea salt water diluted or distilled water with a teaspoon of Celtic sea salt,feel great and I just live off all meats.
You need zero sugars -- that's a big myth.
Obviously you are Still Addicted to Sugar
Processed sugar is corn syrup! Very cheap!
""consume small amounts of natural sugars"" This you can eat fruits but in moderation, its nature's candy so dont overdo it. But fruits are healthy, they come with fiber and phytonutrients. Oh and best is organic. I hope you have the money for thuis
Thanks to Dr Berg I’ve been completely off sugar for 3 1/2 years now. I look at least ten years younger. I went from size 10 to size 4. I feel energetic and happy all the time!

Eh, maybe hair caliber is thicker? I doubt it helps with density. Usually hairloss from diet is from a really really bad malnutrition. You see plenty of obese people with amazing hair and plenty of healthy people balder than a billiard ball
Male haireloss is mainly from DHT and it's downstream effects. You may get telogen effluvium from very extreme stress,trauma or malnutrition but diet is rarely a fix for hairloss in the way most men lose it
Dr. Berg I’m 16 right now. But I’m sure if I continue living a healthy life, I’ll lengthen my life by at least a bit longer. I have a new goal for myself, it’s to watch an educational video like this, every day,
to take care of myself and increase my knowledge on multiple topics ❤
I wish I was like that at your age! Good for you 💕
I don't know how I'm still alive. I grew up eating soooo much sugar, I mean way too much, right into my late 50s. I'm 64 now, and while my sugar consumption is still a little high, I've cut back and continue to cut back. I've known how bad sugar is for years, but I'm taking serious steps now to get rid of it altogether. This video is a HUGE help!

Dr. Berg I’ve been following you for over a decade, you are absolutely the best of the best, you have literally saved my life, I owe you the world…
I found him during the bs and he saved my life at least once already!
He has lots of good videos and his content is good overall. But I caution you to not blindly "drink the kool-aid". Basically saying, whenever you read something or watch something, don't just accept it, but question it. Critical thinking should be a major aspect of our lives from school age until we die.
Question things, analyze things, research things from multiple sources, draw your own conclusions. Don't blindly follow what someone says. This isn't to take away from the doctor's videos. He does make good content. But this will help you grow in your understanding of something, which is a good thing.
@@Panthers89Fan9000000 well said
I find the easiest way to kick cravings for sugar, is to get a pickled and spicy food craving.
Pickles, spicy pickled green beans, spicy pimento-stuffed olives, sourkraut, kimchi, pickled carrots, etc.
I did intermittent fasting, along with completely cutting sugar out of my diet and went from being almost 250 lb to 185lb in 3 months without going to the gym. Absolutely amazing! Thank you Dr. Berg!
Just got blood work results, I’m pre-diabetic. 38 years young, been feeling like crap lately, noticed some strange things going on with my legs. I’m going to crack down on my diet and lifestyle. In a way I’m glad this has happened, it’s inspiring me to study food production and spread awareness of just how toxic our food supply is. Thanks Berg
Wishing you all success! You will find many more resources on this channel and also in our website at DrBerg.com
Chris here, I’m currently exorcising sugar from my diet too. Started with candy and useless sweets, and has now shifted to coffee. Just getting used to it without sugar is a challenge some days, but I feel like the dividends will be worth it in the long run. My nutrition journey and this mission to improve my diet are a direct result of me realizing I was suffering from erectile dysfunction. At a fairly young age too. Seed oils, processed foods and sugary snacks and carbs as s diet for years. My physical lifestyle and military history really mean nothing. I’m dealing with years of cellular abuse, who knows what else and it’s probably going to take years to restore function; if at all .. I don’t know. What i do know is that I can take control of whether or not to ingest sugar. Because ultimately, I believe it’s the ultimate catalyst for disease, this is just my opinion for me. Don’t give up and Good luck everyone.
Try your coffee with double cream. Soooo much better.
You can put honey in your coffee
sometimes ED is also from from corn with a p. And you said military lifestyle,,,.similar to hospital nurses, adrenaline junkie, so likely dopamine deficiency which is why you turned to sugar. I love that you said "exorcized"....addictions are from the devil! Good work! Keep going, keep growing...
Quitting sugar has been the best step made ever after watching your videos when I found your channel a couple of years ago and benefits are amazing! Currently enjoying blackberries straight from my garden. Thank you so much, Dr Berg ❤😊

I have the limb chopping conversation all the time with Patients and I’m an OT. Part of our role is lifestyle medicine. I meet type II diabetics all the time that still eat candy bars, Cheetos, you name it. You walk into their room and it looks like a DKA crime scene, crackers all over the floor, candy bar wrappers. Food addiction is out of control. Good for you being blunt in this video, Americans need it now more than ever. Diabetes isn’t a mystery and neither is heart disease. So many Doctors burn out, prescribe the medications and call it a day. Healthcare has become a customer service industry. Thank you for going the extra mile. Every pre diabetic person should see this video!
I weened myself off sweetened ice tea and coffee long ago. I only consume them unsweetened. If I have a treat like ice cream, I definitely notice a difference in how my body feels. I've become very aware of my body's reaction to certain foods. I definitely don't want to have any chronic diseases.
I put some mint or cocao or cacao or cinnamon or even PB brand peanut butter powder pure. All of them.
Several unexpected things happened to me after conquering sugar. I had a very bad scalp itch that went away. While hiking I used to get pain in my hips. I thought it was because my belt restricted blood flow, no. I can tolerate mosquito bites. I'm not trying to get bitten, but the itch only lasts about 3 minutes, then I feel perfectly fine. I've been given a whole lot of gifts I was never asking for :)
I love how you break it down and make it easy to understand for us lay people. Thank you again 🤗
I'm glad I could assist you.
Im on keto and have been for several months now. I have gone from 258 to 190 (fluctuations up to 195 ) and i am still losing size. Thank you for all of the info
I stopped sugar for years now and I feel just good it's the kind off good you can't explain 😅 thanks to Dr like you
I’m saving this video forever to explain to people because this is EXACTLY what happened to ME!
I was ~250 blood sugar and 13.9 A1C, I got real skinny and couldn’t absorb anything. Was always tired. Everything broke down. I started puking and discharging blood and my mouth was dry and legs were cramping.
The doctor gave me an insulin pen, but I didn’t want to depend on that long term. So I completely changed my diet like Dr. Berg recommended. I found him after doing some research.
Now I haven’t had any sugar for 18 months now and completely reversed 20 years of sugar damage. I wish I could go back and tell my teenage self to avoid sugar. Never going back to sugar or processed food.
❤
You can't reverse 20 years of sugar damage. This is not to discourage your amazing recovery and better quality of health and hopefully long life, but what you said above factually doesn't undo 20 years cell damage.
@user-uz7ti7vb3t our bodies thrive to live and repair damage. Don't be so negative and potentially wrong as well.

Thanks for the video very informative. I’m four weeks in on a carnivore diet and I cannot believe the results. No more pain. It is amazing to feel like this. I now can sleep through the night full of energy. Still have to tweak my diet a little but this feeling is astonishing, I will never eat process sugar again in my life anyone out there who has doubts please try this diet for 30 days.

Thank you Dr. Berg! You just don’t know how you saved my life from consuming too much sugar to my body. I bumped into your channel last year in September 2023. I learned about Keto and started doing it. From then on, I was able to control my cravings for sugar, learned how to eat healthy, and only eat when hungry. Thank you so much for all that you do to help us…. Millions of your followers to learn how to stay healthy…..

I cut out added sugar about 5 years ago. For the first 4 days i had the most vivid dreams about eating sugary breakfast cereal. The frosted flakes i ate in my dreams was the best tasting thing I've ever had in my life. At the beginning of the summer I went to a BBQ and decided i was going to drink a can of coke. It was disgustingly sugarery and I felt like crap for the rest of the day.
I've been surgar free for a year I hope I make it 5 years like you!!!

I got giradias a few years ago and it forced me to eliminate refined sugar from my diet. Talk about a blessing in disguise! I lost 25lbs and I feel so much better all the time. I eat a sweet treat now and then, but nothing will make me go back to the way I ate before!
A little testamony for you. My wife challenged me to the 2 week thing...almost zero sugar for 14 days....that was about 2 months ago. My blood pressure went from 140/88 to 113/75 yesterday. Heart rate went from 88 to 72 at rest. My mind is more clear and my energy level is definitely up and my complection is far less red. I've lost 12 lbs and my feet feel better. I'm a big man (6'1") and 227. I'm not fat, I have big arms and legs. I don't believe in BMI bullcrap..BMI 31 is not obese on everyone. I have 17" arms...not everyone is the same. Be 69 this friday and feel great! Your lectures on sugar hit home and it is working for me. No more morning headaches or lack of energy mid day. No hype...all true. BTW...don't drink or smoke...for quite a long time. I also fly for a living...I was on the verge of losing my medical certificate (140BP) and this changed everything for my career as well. I'm also in a rock band with 3 other guys near my age.

Thank you for the informative video. So many ignorant people who still claim that "sugar isnt so bad, fruit has sugar and fruit is healthy for you!"
Also, if you look around an average grocery, next time you're there just take a look around at some average boxed products and note how much sugar is in each product. SO MANY products are easily 20%+ sugar only. It's scary.

I have had an iliostomy for a year now. I am not allowed to have fiber , vegetables, grains certain meats, nuts & such. Seems like I can have all the bad stuff! My life has changed I miss my healthier eating. I have no colon & a small portion of small bowel removed too. I just had a few hours to live . My colon was a stone. I’m truly relying on the Lord . I’m becoming more active again but tire quickly which I fight through. I wear a bag & what I do consume goes through very quickly. My Dr. Told me to slowly go back into eating what I want. Wait a few days between. But I have to be careful
Can they do colon transplants? i mean they do fecal transplants.
Stay close to Him …He made you …He can heal you ….HE healed me of something that could have been deadly 🙏🙏🙏I’m still in awe believe Him , trust Him …rest IN HIM
I’m sorry you’ve been so sick with surgeries and all. I believe your recovery will be greater than you have expected. I’m praying for your continued healing.
I hope u feel better! God bless
Thank you. People who know me are amazed at my recovery. It’s just getting this eating right. I know I am only here by the grace of God as at the time the surgeon was ready to give up on me. The RN said keep going. ( HolySpirit) I’ve come a long way and if anyone can be completely healed I believe I can! He did not suffer for us greatly in vain! So I am standing in faith in God . I will see the complete manifestation of that healing. Thank you so much for prayers. In the meantime I will press into Him & do what I must do.
Always a pleasure to continue learning from you even hearing what I know already to really keep what I know living In my brain and keep the motivation going

Hi Dr. Berg, This is a great explanation. I’m an RMT and a Functional Medicine Nutritionist. My patients sadly in Canada are unable to ask for their fasting insulin to be done. It’s always HbA1C. Sadly, this will not reflect an insulin resistant scenario. Our system is one of show symptoms first vs. preventative. An ND can often order, but patients pay a premium for the test “privately”. Also, when patients have a higher allostatic load, we will often see higher fasting insulin as a factor that shows their body is struggling metabolically. Poor hydration and a higher fasting insulin with low fibre intake is an internal time bomb. Chronic pain is also worse with a higher fasting insulin amongst other factors. Thank you for providing this information in such a clear format. You are an educator. It’s critical to for people to hear the sugar story.
Appreciated, glad it helps! Thanks for your support!
@@Drberg As a practitioner, I appreciate the deep dive into Physiology, and a great explanation to help the public understand how what they eat affects health and longevity. That’s why I trained Functionally. You are inspiring. We need more Dr. Berg’s.

Try liquid Monk Fruit in your coffee. You won't miss the sugar.
I like Stevia in coffee
I can't even drink sweetened coffee or tea. Eliminate it and your taste will change fairly quickly.
Monk fruit is the most natural choice. I'm using allulose because it won't absorb by my body, but it has a very low safe max consumption. Sugar alcohol is not the best sweetener choice, go with monk fruit.

Ppl miss this last point. Sugar is bad period. But some sugar is worse than others. Just bc there's sugar in fruit, doesn't mean that that sugar is not going to cause you problems, bc its not the "bad sugar".
