Today, I'm choosing to eat for fuel, not entertainment.
Hows it going man
Dont avoid carbs. only sugar bc if you don’t eat carbs you will only eat fat
@@MMAFotball what about keto diet?
@@owje keto is a scam. The reason you think you lose weight is because you dont eat carbs, carbs absorb alot of water. So you think you’re losing weight but you’re really not
@@owje keto could cause low blood pressure, kidney stones, constipation, nutrient deficiencies and an increased risk of heart disease. It originated “as a treatment for epilepsy”
I'm a couple weeks sober from sugar now and starting to feel real good
Update: over a month off the sugar and it's pretty obvious now how toxic I was. Everything is way better now.
I'm at day 11 no added sugars and I swear I woke up to pee 3 times the other night. I've even had a couple dreams about sweets!!!!!! I'm feeling a lot better when I workout now though. I'm able to get a lot more done throughout the day too and focus
omg I'm at day 10 and I can't believe how hard it is to quit sugar... I'm getting really anxious, especially on the weekends, and lots of craving for chocolate. I'm trying to stick to my goal and I hope I get better at day 30.
@@anapaulacardI eat plain Greek yogurt with a few blueberries added in it. Still very low sugar. Satiating!
Well done thank you for the testimony
Quit eating sugar years ago but I asked my Cardiologist if blending destroys the fiber he said no. He told me in laymens terms that all humans chew, and chewing is the process of breaking food down before ingesting which the body processes. Using a blender, just "chews" everything down before we swallow it and the body processes it much faster with no loss of nutrition or fiber. He did say not to blend in a high powered blender like a Vitamix or Blendtec no more than 30 seconds (it pulverizes in less than 20 seconds) because friction from blender blades create warmth, and warmth (like cooking) can destroy nutritional value. Told me to put my favorite fruits whole but no more than 3/4 of a cup. Fifteen years going strong. Pros and Cons I guess on who you speak to so I guess bodies vary lol. Cheated once about four years ago, buying a huge cinnamon roll, and finished only half the sugar made me gag almost and the next day I had a itchy rash. After just one day! Never did it again. Good luck and look at all the money you will save :) Great video!
your cardiologist doesn't understand that high speed blending separates the insoluble fiber from the soluble fiber. Without the insoluble fiber the soluble fiber cannot slow down the absorption of the sugars into the intenstine. Always eat fruit whole if you want to minimize the insulin response, and sugar uptake.
@@Simon-pl2zi relayed your message to my cardiologist. He disagrees. Oh well onward ho. Thanks for your reply and have a good day! :)
@@skykitchen867do you have a full head of hair?
I still eat lots of sugar and keep coming to videos like this for motivation. Thanks for sharing your experience!
😂😂😂😂
I just remove it from my home.
😂😂😂
I LOVE ALL THE BACKGROUNDS SO COSEY AND COMFORTING
Great information, great video. Thank you,man 💪
Such a good video thanks for sharing your experience !
I am at 104 days today! No ultra processed foods, juices, fast food...I have been following the Mediterranean diet!
Hi Jon! You are one of the quality RUclipsrs I have ever seen. Please be consistent with such content! I really liked it! All the best!
Awesome vid and great job rising to the challenge! I need to do this! 😅
Glad you found it valuable! It gets easy to stay off when you're off for a few weeks. It's the beginning that is hard when sugar still tastes so good
Awesome video!
Great video, congratulation to your efforts!
Another great video, dude! 😄
Glad you enjoyed!
I started a ketovore diet back in January, dropped sugar and carbs to 20g/day or less. In 100 days I've lost 70lbs, dropped 3 pants sizes, 2 shirt sizes, and various health issues have gone away. I have a ton of energy I never used to have, and the crazy thing is it took me 18 months to lose that same weight before the pandemic, working out daily and eating better but by no means healthy.
My biggest stuggle lately has been cutting back on cheese 😂.
Amazing! Cheese is good though?
@@JonBear cheese is fine for low-carb, I just eat to much of it 🤣.
Very positive. Thank you!
thanks man. nice video!!
It’s amazing once you become conscious of food how much is filled with sugar or highly processed. Great vid. Cheers
Lol Fiber doesn't disappear from running it in a blender. lol 😆 😆 😆
No it doesn't but it does make the sugar more easily digestible which can spike blood sugar faster then eating the whole fruit.
Annnnd fiber is an anti-nutrient. That's why our body rejects it and poops it out instantly. Literally no reason to ever have fiber. Fatty meats are the way to go!
@@kirstenlane6632 It doesn't matter. It will come down just as fast if you are healthy. I blend fruit everyday and I'm still losing weight.
Your b-roll is HILARIOUS! XD
Always having fun with the edit :D
That was a solid video
I still eat some sugar every day. But cutting back on it as much as I have has definitely had a positive effect on my skin. I used to get terrible breakouts on my forehead, but I haven't had a zit there in months now.
Thanks for showing this video. I decided to quit many things like chocolate soda and snacks and other ones that contain sugar. Now I feel more confident about my decision it'll be healthier for me.
My depression has a choke hold on me rn ! Super heavy ! I’ve been eating so much lately. Gaining more weight and not moving much at all anymore ! These are great reminders in this video !!!!
I quit cola light and citrus juice in my twenties, when I found out how acidic it was, because I like to keep my teeth all my life. By then, I had already quit sugary soft drinks. I have more of a salty tooth anyway so that was not that hard, except for the social part. Sugary drinks are simply the default everywhere! Now I drink two large soy / oat lattes per day and one alcohol free radler. Yes, of course it has sugar in it but this way I cut it back a lot. Cold, carbonised or flat water is also nice indeed.
Well, to each their own. I drink a protein shake every morning after working out that contains my protein, berries, and a banana, all blended up. When I quit added sugar 8 days ago with still drinking my shake everyday, I'm STILL losing fat.
Yes sugar can be like a bad drug. Thanks Jon Cheers
Thank you Bill for watching!
The thing about smoothies having the fibre ripped apart was interesting. We love our smoothies and we’ve been on a “low sugar” diet for years!
So this seems to be a bit up to debate. Another viewer pointed out evidence to the contrary. The source I went with was Dr. Robert who claims there are two types of fibers, soluble and insoluble fibers, and that the insoluble fibers don’t survive the blender and gets too pulverized to form a gel for the intestines.
Smoothies are probably more beneficial than I say in the video. The only thing that seems universally agreed is that eating a whole fruit is better than drinking it in smoothie form, but people disagree on the extent.
Unfortunately any kind of smoothie or fruits juice even made in home it Would be only sugar due to ripped off fibre. So I decided to consume whole fruits such as guava, pineapple, banana, orange, dates etc. Good luck
I do the Jesus diet.
When I’m not fasting most of the day, I will eat…
Lamb, bread and butter, salt, fish, grapes, lots of water, eggs, honey, seeds, olives and pomegranate.
I also take B12, D3, Magnesium & Omega 3.
And I also take an organic protein powder sometimes.
No chips, cakes, candy, no soda.
No fast food. Nothing processed like cold cuts and hotdogs and sausages, no “natural flavors” or that fake sugar replacement in “sugar free” stuff.
Soft drinks made with stevia are great as stevia is a natural sweetener which doesn't cause a insulin spike.
Thanks for sharing your experience!!, I'll try do the same after having this piece of cake
Enjoy it! :D
Great video jon will start that challenge for 30 days and see 😅
Thank you Mansour!!
Ive done exactly this
My whole life changed
So much better
I’ve been vegan for almost 10 years now, and it was definitely the best decision of my entire life. Now, quitting industrial sugar is the second game changer. Even though I believe I will have something with sugar in it every now and then, almost not consuming it anymore causes unbelievable changes that are nothing but amazing.
So, because of that little comment in the video about vegans: There was a time when you thought eating sugar was the most normal thing in the world, and you would have never thought you’d quit. Now you probably can’t believe how blind you were and that you did that for so long. That’s how I, and probably most vegans, think about eating “animal products” as well. I hope that clears things up or helps you see another point of view. 💚
Great video! I enjoyed watching it.
can you do a storytime video about how you met your wife. we will love to know,she is cute though and you two looks lovely together
Hi sorry for the late reply! That is such a sweet request!
Great advice but not white rice, pasta, etc… but whole grain (brown) for all the reasons to do with fibre that makes juices and smoothies nutritionally useless.
Man I completely stopped in the sugary pastries department... I probably eat 10% of the amount of sugar now as I did when I was a teen. Sure I have a coke 1-2 a week and lots of the stuff I use for cooking has some of that organic tomato sauce and stuff but yeah.... Sugar is just dumb, but ok in moderation like everything is. I just think the bar for "moderation" has moved a lot these last decades.
Hey bro! I remember seeing a photo of you recently and you looked super fit! Yeah now I leave sugar for social/special occasions but don't keep any of that stuff at home. During Lockdown I baked brownies almost every other day haha I will miss it but oh well
Ok. I'm gonna try this. Because when I look at my diet and exercise habit, I'm doing everything right, except snacking on sweets. And I cannot shrink my waistline.
Ugh. This is gonna be hard. I love chocolates and ice cream. Gotta go stock up on fruits and hummus
I’m so addicted to ice cream, I want to try that (especially with processed food as well), but I’m not giving up on my fruits.
Excellent video overall, and a very worthy nutritional goal of giving up sugar. However, I disagree when it comes to smoothies, especially the healthiest kind of smoothies which are home made. Smoothies are how we get about half of our fresh veggies and greens. We add just enough fresh and/or frozen fruit to make it palatable. They're also a great way to use veggies that are just starting to go off a little. You wouldn't want to use them in a salad, but in a smoothie, you don't notice.
You are absolutely right that fresh fruit and veggies are much better for you than fruit and veggies in a smoothie. But beware making "the perfect the enemy of the good." Similarly, fruit juice is usually about as unhealthy as soda -- with a few exceptions like unsweetened cranberry juice. However, vegetable juice can be ridiculously healthy -- for example, 1/3 juice from greens or broccoli, 1/3 from carrot, and 1/3 from a veggie of your choice. Only a salad is likely to be as healthy as that would be.
i dont know why did u stop making content , but man u r awesome at your content please come back , i am a guy inspired from your from INDIA
Appreciate it! I am still alive. I had a baby! Will hopefully find time to make youtube in the near future. Thank you for sharing the love my friend.
Very interesting and entertaining
2:33 this!!!! Sugar makes me sad, fat, stupid and sick! I should remind myself this reality. 😅
But white rice has no significant nutritional value, white rice has a high glycemic profile which can spike blood sugar levels >.>
I cried for four days, when I started this type of food restrictions
same but maybe a whole week for me
I'm vegetarian. Can I eat fruits, grains?
Excellent 👌
First few days are hard but you slowly overcome the sugar craves. For chocolate lovers I suggest you get 90-99% Lindt chocolate it’s less than 1g of sugar per cube and it satisfies the craving
Well, here's my experience.
It was in 1967 that I read in New Scientist about the work of John Yudkin on the harmful effect of processed white sugar. You know - the stuff on the tele ads (if you're old enough) - those beautiful sparkling crystals of "pure white goodness. - Why would mothers give their families anything else? "
But as for me - I stopped using it. It wasn't easy - that wretched stuff is so addictive! But I won. I continued with a diet of just natural food - fruit and vegetables, dairy, fish and occasional meat, organic as much as possible,
And now? Well, I'm 79 ("God! - You don't look it.", I'm told.), and healthy and fit - I still go mountaineering. Weight and blood parameters are all normal. I'm never hungry, and I eat when I think I'd like to - not by the clock. I sleep well and wake up well rested.
So - try it yourself. It's lovely.
01:41 - this is a very important point that the lay person will attempt to debunk. The fructose in fruit is retained within its fibre. High speed blending shreds the fruit's long stringy insoluble fibre into tiny pieces and separates it from the soluble fibre. Without the insoluble fiber, the soluble fiber cannot slow down the absorption of the sugars into the intestines. This is why blending fruit is not a good idea. Always eat your fruit whole, and chew to get the best results.
It's definitely a point of debate and I simply source Dr. Lustig. I am not an expert and may be incorrect.
Is stevia a good replacement?
I'm quitting sugar but even in the start was not wanted sugar even before I started to be healthy I didn't want sugar I eated too much sugar buecase my parents wanted me to be unhealthy
My least favorite hidden sugar (dextrose) I found is in sour cream. I have found unsweetened sour cream, it tastes better, i.e. sourer, which was the point according to Bubbe - Jewish Nonna - of blessed memory.
I also had a Nonna.
Great input! So many hidden sugars which makes going off sugar a very interesting and educational experience.
Dextrose is almost identical to glucose, which is the sugar found in the bloodstream. For that reason, it can be quickly used as a source of energy by the human body.
We often received tablets of those to consume during extreme weather trainings. But yeah I wouldn’t recommend that when you are practicing being a couch potato which happens to be my most favorite kind of practice ❤
What U do with sour cream chap?
Slow start into my journey of giving up sugar. I am going through MAJOR sugar withdrawal. Experiencing headaches and irritability. Any advice?
Can u talk about any sugar withdrawals u went through?
2 months lost 16 ibls
4:15 W passport bro 😂
What does that mean?
Side note.. His wife is the cutest😊
I never got my high from soda’s I’m a fruit juice addict. It kinda sucks those are loaded with sugar too. Unless you make them yourself. And to be fair even those are loaded with natural sugars
Juice tastes great and is easily marketed as a health drink, but what makes the fruit healthy are the fibers. Freshly squeezed juice can still work well as a sports drink when you need some quick energy. And it still contains tons of vitamins.
The real villains are the fruit juices that are made with extract and sugar. So look from squeezed juice 😁
@@JonBear I squeeze my own juices whenever I can. Same goes for smoothies. In the Netherlands you can often make your own fresh orange juice in the supermarket!
Can’t quit honey and peanut butter other than that i never eat chocolate bar and other stuff like that.
Honey is good in my book. It is found in the nature, and is usually consumed in limited amounts. Plus it has tons of anti-bacterial benefits
INSOMNIAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH
But fruits like grapes strawberries etc are also sweet. Don’t they have sugars in them and shouldn’t we avoid them as well in sugar free diet ?
First get rid of "added-sugar-pretend-foods", and stop using "table sugar". As for sugar that's naturally in food, you'll probably find it's ok for you. That's what I did and it's worked for me these last 60 years. I still have BMI 23 and waist 22 inches, and I'm healthy and fit. (And p.s. don't smoke!)
Eating whole fruits delivers the benefit of a fruit's fiber, vitamins, and other desirable nutrients. Nature designed the fiber to slow the speed of absorption of the sugar in our bodies. The pulp that remains after juicing is mostly a fruit's fiber, and the juice sugar is rapidly absorbed in our systems due to the absence of fiber and quickly spikes insulin. Insulin spikes of these types are not good for us. 🎉🎉🎉
Also, from an economic point of view, the price for chocolate has skyrocketed. I found myself cutting it out for that reason alone.
I didn't know that was a thing! In other categories however, sugary proessed foods are usually cheaper.
Ninja bgm AWESOME
Why is Batman with cake?
No more processed food 😤 100% agreed
How do you feel about honey though?
Yeah 💪 for Honey it’s a single ingredient type food so totally good in my book. It also has lots of bacteria fighting properties. Yes it’s sugar but it isn’t processed ⭐️
Ok ok but you very very like chocolate ?
1. Pour boiling water over 4 - 5 heaped teaspoons of cocoa
2. Once the "essence" has brewed, pour pure kefir or buttermilk
3. If you are highly addicted, add sugar - you will limit other chemical crap with sugar to only your own - attention is very stimulating :)
4. Try sugar-free sometime :)
5. If there was a lot of cocoa in point 1, drink water so that the concentrate does not stay in the intestines/stomach for a long time ;)
Similarly, it is worth mixing white cheese + cocoa + buttermilk/kefir
Unfortunately, sometimes I go back to the sugar rush ;)
Potato s are bad and rice is
Every carb is at it’s heart sugar, saying it doesn’t pass for food is nuts
Freia Sjokolade !!
Healthy food is what our parents or grandparents used to eat. It is only in the last couple fo decades that things went south with all the already made processed non sense and eating out all the time
Great message but I would have preferred the video with just you talking. I found all the visuals over the top and distracting.
Thank you John I really appreciate the feedback. Did you see my coffee video? Would love to get your thoughts on it too.
I’m working on more videos but doing the visuals is very time consuming. Maybe I’m overthinking it and should just be more real in front of the camera. Looking forward to your response!

Bro, got the Ninja Gaiden soundtrack. You can't be from the 80s growing up on Nintendo.
You never said about your weight loss...
Weight loss wasn’t a goal of mine. I tend to eat a ton because I lift weights and try to add body weight.
But cutting out sugar is definitely the most important step to your weight loss journey as insulin resistance is the biggest factor preventing people from losing weight
@@JonBear Yes, everyone from total vegans to total keto carnivores agrees that we should all give up added sugars. So I'm trying to hit a goal of only eating 5 or 10% as much sugar as I used to.
Before is on the right after is on the left that's how green people face look. Can't against what's your body wants and have a happy life .
