    I am a former teacher. I can honestly say that within the last 10 years we have stopped teaching nutrition and home economics (cooking, parenting, child care) classes. These should be mandatory classes just as math, reading, science and social studies. Educate so you don’t have to medicate.

      With all due respect, it doesn't matter what they learn in school if they're not having good eating habits as they're growing up at home. Parents should be teaching long life lessons on how to eat.
      We have so much information at the tip of our fingertips. In the days that were walking in. I love teachers. God bless them, but we need to get out of the mindset that they know more than parents.
      I see teachers putting things in their mouth. They should not be putting in their mouth.
      I see health professionals putting things in their mouth. They should not be putting in their mouth.
      And I hate to break it to you,
      If you look into what it takes to become a physician ,
      Since you're bringing schooling into it.
      They are not schooled on nutrition whatsoever. Physicians have some of the worst eating habits.
      Unlike this one that's given his life to Christ.
      And that's Usually what it takes for all of us to start eating correctly.
      I always question nutritionist in the hospital on where they learn their nutrition values.
      Pick up the Bible, read the book of Leviticus..It's got incredible eating habits for us to follow.
      Holy Spirit is the best teacher.

      I honestly am not disrespecting teachers. I think they're incredible. Not all of them. There's Good and bad in all professions.
      But parents need to stop being lazy and they need to start parenting their children.
      This kind of Rubbed me the wrong way because I've been seeing a growing trend of people posting things. What schools need to start doing. How about we start being parents?!!!!!

      My father was a teacher and my mother was a chef. It was different times, being that I was born in 1953. We had cake once a week, then my Mom cut it out because her blood sugars were high. She was an insulin diabetic and so was her mother. I’ve always struggled with my weight and I think genetics makes up a huge part of who you will be. If one parent is obese you have a 50%chance of being obese, if both parents are obese you have a 100% chance of being obese. Along with that comes all the problems with obesity. I used to be mad at my Mom for all the goodies she made but it was entirely up to me to not put it in my mouth. By the time I reached 11th grade I had all my classes done but gym. I decided with a guidance counselor that I would take, Home Ec for 2 periods, Family living was another class that filled my day. My super intelligent father who was the head of our language department for the school district died of colon cancer,, because he was stubborn, he didn’t want them to look at his rectum. Not knowing and being stubborn are 2 different things.

    100% true Dr. Mandell!! I have heard you talk about sugar many times. And I’m happy I followed everything you said. I cut out all sugar & lost 67 pounds. My blood sugar & blood pressure are back to normal. I realized I had more energy so I started walking a little. I started feeling so great that I gradually walked longer. (only 2 miles a day, but that got the job done.) Walking is my favorite exercise.
    For some reason I do better stopping things cold turkey than tapering off. I am so grateful to you Doctor Mendel! THANK YOU!!

    You are spot on. Two months ago I was miserable. I had the gut, the achy joints, the inflammation and all the rest.
    My labs showed high cholesterol and that I was borderline pre diabetic. I decided I'd have enough.
    I quit sugar cold turkey. I went from eating little candy bars, sugary snacks, drinking fruit juices, etc.. to nothing.
    I threw out all my sugar, all my snacks, and I must admit, the first couple weeks were a bit rough.
    Found myself reaching for the desk drawer where that stuff used to reside and stopped when I remembered it was gone.
    I would say it was about 3 weeks in and I lost all cravings.
    I eat mostly a Mediterranean diet, lots of salmon, salads, olive oil and cut carbs down to a bare minimum.
    My inflammation has gone down a lot, my joints feel younger, I can tighten my belt up two notches past we're I could before
    and I feel so much better.
    One of the most remarkable things, is that good food, now tastes awesome and the time or two I've tasted junk food, it tasted like garbage.
    I'm about to start working out and getting back in shape and it's all because I completely altered the dietary course I had been on for decades.

      @Lisa, I am 49 and was diagnosed with AS about 10 years ago. I was also told it was growing pains and that I was being too rough on my body. It was actually an eye doctor who decided to send me for blood work because I kept getting iritis which is an indicator of AS. I have found if I eat sugar, starches and bread my pain levels increase. Which is terrible because I like pizza and cheeseburgers 🤷🏻‍♂️ so if I have a cheat day with pizza and ice cream and all the other stuff, I will follow up with a 5 day water fast, then will either start with keto or strictly carnivore diet. It is a painful and degerative disease but with a good diet, I've been able to reign it in a bit. The doctors still think I should be on Humira but I'm hoping my new diet will change that. Hope this helps a little.

    Good points, but it boils down to these Simple Sugar Rules (SSR's): Never add it and avoid/minimalize foods that contain it in any form naturally because sugar by any name is your enemy. Even when juicing food, which I no longer do anyway, but when I did I tossed the sugar loaded juice and ate the pulp for fiber - people called me Wrong-Way Peachfuzz for that. Well, the jokes on them, cuz I avoided drinking that sugar laden poison juice with little or no fiber. Since then I've just eaten the low glycemia fruits whole on a selective basis - dark berries, papaya, limes, lemon. Lemons and limes can be blended whole by the way....after proper cleaning, lemon and lime skin is loaded with nutrients. I'd say I'm qualified here at 65 to prescribe my SSR's because as I sit here my fasting glucose is 86 and resting vitals are 113/70 on the pressures and 62 on the pulse and I've already boinked my "old" lady (she's 40) twice this morning - no blue pill either.
    Bottom line - train your damned body to stop burning sugar as its fuel and start burning healthy fat as its fuel - greass fed and finished and wild caught animal fats - think of it as changing over from diesel to electric. A "sugar spike" for me is going from 85 to 105 or, oh my God, 115, after eating. Keep your damn sugar readings inside a band between 85 fasting and about 120 after eating. Eat no more than twice a day and try for OMAD. Carbs can't be totally eliminated but they can be minimized and optimized by selection. Remember, those GD carbs turn into sugar so be careful. BURN FAT - NOT SUGAR. Become a GD Greta Thunberg when it comes to your sugar intake and think of that creepy little lunatic screaming "HOW DARE YOU" every time you stick anything with sugar or high/bad carbs in your GD mouth.

    I have been a type one juvenile diabetic since I was 8. I’m 33 now. My entire life, I have been told by doctors “you want that? Just take more insulin.” I learned from a very young age that it was all a scam. Yes, I am still and will always be insulin dependent, because unlike type 2, I don’t just have a damaged pancreas, it’s completely dead.
    However, through eating WHOLE foods (including high carb foods like whole fruits), drinking multiple teas each day and cutting out all dairy, I decreased the amount of my insulin from almost 200 units per day (that was what all of my doctors had prescribed) to less than 20 units per day. I also reversed my diabetic retinopathy, neuropathy, and endometriosis.
    I know that I will always needs insulin injections to survive, but literally just eating correctly and moving your body is the most essential part of living.

    When I reacted in horror, she told me that I should only give her one more day, because from tomorrow (01/01/2024) she wouldn't even put a crumb in her mouth.
    She had come up with a tactic and wanted to carry it out.
    Only eat sweets on birthdays.
    She's actually done it so far. We had a birthday in January and last weekend. She ate a piece of cake in January and last weekend.
    Her wall calendar is full of crosses because she draws a cross for every successful day.

    It was the book I read years ago, called Jonathan Livingston Seagull. And I never forgot what he said, do I eat to live or do I live to eat? Is food my life or is life my food? I have been skinny most of my life and now I am 70 years old and I know that I've gained a lot of weight and I have to lose it. When I was younger I was very very busy from the time I woke up until the time I went to bed and I'd love to my life because I was producing something of my day. I never sat on the couch when I was younger, and if I got hungry I would eat a little bite and keep going. I never thought about food until dinner when it was time to make it for my husband. I never bought sweets I was on an extreme budget and I was eating the way that I did when I was growing up, meat and potatoes and vegetables. We were all healthy as Horses and you rarely saw a person that was obese or even heavy. Whoever I am now is not who I really am I am a busy person and I am going to kick and slay the Dragon a fat on my body I am determined. There are people who wake up in the morning and the first thing they think about is food. I also when I was younger never ate Candy cookies chocolate and my sister-in-law had a weight problem and when I went in her room and I saw candy papers on her bedside tables all over the place I knew that that was what was causing her to gain weight. The big lie is that Sugar gives you a big rush when in reality I believe that Sugar steals your energy. Good luck to everybody out there who is trying to improve their health and well-being period and God bless everybody

    I was drinking 3-4 Diet Cokes a day when I was still working. I believed the caffeine helped me get through the work day. I am 5'7" and was 183 at that time, and also had high blood pressure. After retiring I decide to stop all Diet Coke and replace it with iced tea or water for a month. Within 7 days I dropped 7 pounds and the weight continued to come off. I took note of this and then decided to stop buying so much fast food but instead began buying healthy groceries. I got to 162 lbs. and have kept it off. The doctor took me off BP meds I was doing so well. (Then came the pandemic and lockdowns so I did gain some back but took action again and lost the weight again!) I have almost zero taste for fast food anymore, it no longer appeals to me but will have an occasional burger, usually made at home. I think too many of us are living off from chips and soda or drinking too much beer/alcohol (I also got sober in 2016, which helped) and that's why all the bellies, soda and chips, sugar and excess salt.

    I do all these things and still have much pain from Fibromyalgia. No sugar in my coffee. I don't drink soft drinks. I don't eat chips, snacks or any of those things.
    Can you help me?
    I don't eat pork or sausage. Only chicken, turkey or fish. Eat all my vegetables. I drink water 💦 all the day long. I don't smoke or do drugs. I may have 1 cup of coffee 2 times a week, maybe. So could you help? Oh I don't drink beer either because I also have osteoarthritis and I thought 1 beer wouldn't hurt; oh but I was wrong. It hurts my knees. (I'm supposed to have knee surgery on my right knee) but a lot of people tell me that I shouldn't have the knee replacement because I will be worse off 😪. I watch most of ur videos. I trust you and I don't trust easily.
    I am also taking 1 tablespoon of olive oil every day. I'm on my 2nd week and I have a tiny bit of more energy. A little.
    Please, you are my last resort. Grateful, Becky.

      The juice, natural and unatural sugars hits the stomach all at once and increases stress on the body and creates cortisol.
      If you want to sip two oz of juice with food, it may buffer the sugar because when we eat, cortisol is released anyways and the food you're eating hopefully has fiber in it to slow down the hit of juice to your tummy😎🤙

    Hi Dr. Mandell, well you painted my picture exactly, borderline diabetic, lot of indicators no medications taken. I started about a week ago on your Hibiscus drink and the terrible inflammation I had has gone from 100 to 4. Listening to you today, naturally what I am doing is not enough.
    I use to take an appetite suppressant to cut my mental wanting to chomp on something, it worked the way I needed it to. Hearing you talk about the sweet drinks hits the bullseye on me. If I stop and just drink water, it is like a drug addict, get me some soda is the message I get, and I don't want to be strong enough to fight, because I do want it.
    But, your talk today can help me a lot. I have the diabetic itch, in which I rupture the surface of my skin, it was very bad a time ago, but today I am rupturing the skin surface enough to cause small scabbing, So I have to get a handle on this. I was going to contact you and and say thanks but, I thought I would listen to you today and you have given me a chance to get my life back.
    I have feet that fill with blood, it is called Edema, when it's water, when it is blood I don't know what it's called. There is no help, for me. I have done some medical research and I understand the nature of my condition and the changes I have made based on that research have helped, but nothing in the world beats a doctor that knows what he is talking about like you.
    Suppressing the appetite, and sugar cravings, will suppress all sweet pangs, I can be more disciplined since I heard your talk today. thank you Dr. Mandell for doing what you do, you are very appreciated.

      I did a quick research on exploding pancreas. I don't have a good picture, because no age, no pre-determinative cause, what exactly the treatment was, and whether you still have a pancreas. So, the research just help know what the body part is you are talking about, the general anomalies that can happen, and when is explodes, then what.
      As you say very serious, although it is said to be something pf a rare occurrence. Its function is very important, but, you can live without it, but you'd need special medical treatment to replace those functions lost if the pancreas no longer functions or is removed, nothing I saw mentioned fatality, though naturally without proper treatment I understand it can swell an affect other organs in the abdominal area.
      I am glad to hear you are recovering will after the ordeal, and I want to thank you because I got to reread my letter, and know how I have backslid. That happen when you feel good for a while, you think nothing is wrong or can go wrong.
      I broke down and bought some of those Nuubu pads. Oriental medicine through the soles of your feet. Well, it is amazing. I had edema really bad. The first night I woke up to like 75% reduction. I could not believe it. It began knocking down the blisters in the ankle area and has made my leg look near normal. Would I recommend Nuubu ? I would. I'm still using them in combination with a foot spa when I remove the pads in the morning.
      You're supposed to use them on each foot, at bedtime. The entire edema is down to about 10% and the amazing part is, it used to swell up after I ate, so I think it has done so healing of the affected veins. I have a doctor’s natural formula of bananas, limes, and pineapples along with my supplements, pretty near every morning and I hope to be able to walk a good distance soon.
      It is hard to do the right thing for your body to stay healthy when you like to eat tasty foods, but you have to have that discipline especially when you get up in age. You just can't do everything like you did when you were young including eat all the good foods you like that have cause damage to your body. Like me, I’m a pre-diabetic, the source of my problems.
      I don’t take needles or medication, but what happened was I was getting diabetic signals that caused me a lot of distress. I research and knocked a few of the symptoms down, some like the edema, are problematic.
      There several types of edemas, it matter treatment wise, how are you going to attack the problem. I couldn't do anything because, I could not get good information until AI came out. Then I was able to see, and I got lucky I heard the doctor on the internet talk about a natural formula for treatment of edema and I tried it and it worked. The only problem was, I would drain overnight, and begin swelling as I ate and drank during the day.
      Things are better now, but more work to do to get well. Thanks again for your email it helps a lot. Get well and get healthy.

    Hello Dr. Mandell. I am a big fan of yours. I always look forward to whatever topic you share with us. The #1 lesson was to cut sugar intake as much as possible
    I did that and I lost 40 pounds very quickly(in about 3 months). I remember years ago reading a book called Fot for Life by Dr
    Diamond. I tried the healthy diet plan of not combining certain foods for better digestion. I also remember a true statement. You must eat more live food like fresh fruit and vegetables and less cooked food in order to get the nutrients your body needs. Eat large salad with a variety. Drink distilled water and consume 6 to 8 glasses a day. There were things he wrote . only your mother's breast milk is healthy to drink, not to eat eggs,, and a few more. I don 't remember which caused his book to be baned. I went off of this plan but now at being almost 80 years old,, realize that many things are true. Especially about eating more live food than dead(cooked). Your readers, like me, need you as our guide to improve our quality of life. We must open our eyes to see the dangers of going food shopping and not paying attention to what the ingredients are in almost everything that is on the shelves. Try to choose more organic food, fruit and veggies.. We sincerely thank you for all the videos you've done for us.. May God please bless you and to please continue to motivate us to become aware of our food intake and to improve our health. Amen.

      @@jackedkerouac4414 Yup that is correct. In the beginning (first two months) I was eating mostly meats, eggs, salads and did my best to refrain from anything that has sugar or r would convert easily to sugar (even fruits) during the daytime as I would get sleepy. I was using 2 or 3 scoops of sugar in each cup of coffee. Not good :(. I did eat breads for dinner and still do (but not often) when dinner is pizza, or pasta, and on my salad I do use whatever dressing I want. So, basically sugar in its pure form has been removed from my diet significantly. I do not eat boxed foods if I can avoid it. When there is a birthday, I enjoy the caked and ice cream just like everyone else. It has been a year and I am around 177 to 180 depending what I am wearing.

      Hi Michele, You are very young still. I am 61 years old, and I hope you can benefit from this one suggestion from me.
      When I was around your age, I was exercising too but couldn't lose the 30 pounds on me - they were very stubborn pounds.
      This is called "Insulin Resistance" - the word wasn't used much back then as it is nowadays.
      Definitely read about it because you have it, as most people have it who are overweight.
      If someone told me back then to just eliminate sugar in practically everything I eat, that I would LOSE the weight. I was never a soda or alcohol drinker because it bothered my stomach but when I had ONE soda, I would automatically gain 5 pounds from the one soda!
      It was unreal, but luckily, the next day I would lose most of it and I wouldn't have another soda for a few months.
      If you can really stay away from sodas, diet sodas and "natural sodas", etc. - these drinks/beverages WILL continue to hold onto your weight - let them go.
      "Natural Sodas" are the beverage companies' way of making people think their making a better choice if they are TRYING to stay away from sodas - there's STILL sugar in them, along with other additives to make you crave MORE foods and not shut off your cravings.
      If you can keep away from the sodas, diet sodas, "natural sodas", etc. - you'll be on your way to losing the weight and FEELING better!
      I wish you success on your journey to GOOD HEALTH. 😊💖
