I hope you enjoy this video and that it gives you a plan for reducing or quitting sugar! Let me know if this is something you're working on right now 💛
it doesnt work. I lost 50lbs 4 times now by cutting out all sugar and ended up eating it months later. it doesnt work. most people always go back to it and regain the weight. facts!
I had a bad sugar crash this past weekend. It was really bad. It made me determined to stop eating sugar for good. I have done this so many times, but this time is truly for good. I can't do moderation when it comes to sweets. I have gone cold turkey eliminating sugar.♥️. I am glad I did.😊
Sugar is really addictive. You understand it only after you quite it. I stopped to eat sugar some time ago. Life without sugar is a whole new dimension.
@@brightwithspiritto me it's a huge difference. I feel completely different but this you realise only after you quit, it's a banch of small things. It wasn't easy to quit, but try once 30 day without sugar. It will be not easy, especially first week, but I promise that if you manage this magical 30 days you see and feel difference in your attitude and even on your scale. Answering your question about my diet, I eat normal except I try to keep low carb diet, I have decreased my portions, I try to eat whole foods, and stop snacking and if so, let it be some fruit. I allow my self to eat something sweet times to time (I will say once a week) but this is always something prepared by my self, home made apple pie etc. I have also stop to drink sugar, no coffee or tea with sugar, no soda. I had some episodes that I took chocolate after months without sugar and I felt really bad after. Now it has been already almost 6 months with very low sugar consumption and I will only say that my body doesn't crave for it anymore. To me it was pure addiction in my case.
@@brightwithspirit to me it really is different, my moods are stable, for like, the first time in my life 😂. I tried keto diet a few years ago, and omg I got so sick that I gave up after 2,5 days. That's when I realized how hooked I was. So then I started cutting out high sugary food like cakes and ice cream and all the obvious. Then I cut out anything with white flour, potatoes and replaced it with brown stuff. I ate way more pulses like lentils , chickpeas, beans.. it took a while but eventually it became natural for me and I went from having regular almost daily cravings to hardly ever crave sugary stuff. I had no trouble eating 3 or 4 huge slices of cakes and now content with half a slice. Biting into an apple is like biting in a candy now, literally lol. It feels so sweet. I tried the keto diet again, and loved it, it was so easy. Nothing like the experience I went through when I was so hooked on sugar. And I honestly was super super dependent on sweet.
@@sunbeam9222 Thank you for sharing! I have a problem with sugary drinks, cokes, etc. What has been helpful for me is to chew gum and drink very high quality water instead of reaching for the drinks. I hope to have the renewed outlook on life soon too!!
@@brightwithspirit oh yes, right. People would always have some cans in the fridge for me since I was not ashamed to claim that " I don't drink water" and that was true 🤦🤦 I had actually forgotten about this. I hated water . Drank coke light every single day. Always had to have fizzy drink. Today my treat is having lemon juice ( no sugar) in it, I drink loads of water. It's no effort anymore. This craving has totally gone also. IT really can be done. And then you look at the cans most of the time and go eww. I will drink it maybe twice a year and that's it. Chewing gum is good also, anything that works haha. All the best!
I love the main message here, thank you. I’m a PT, lifetime interest in wellness and helping patients. Also a big supporter of the science-based approach in medicine, for me, I find “addiction” and “detox” um… well, you get it: problematic. All the best with the channel. Keep the science good and the message authentic!
I’ve been reducing sugar..started with the the reduction of sugary drinks. I feel so much better. I had a birthday cupcake this weekend and felt a little bloated afterwards. I never used to notice this bloated feeling, but I believe I’m becoming more sensitive too sugar. Btw, Your skin looks great and you’re glowing!
That's what I did however , years of restricting lead me to heavy binges . So now I've lost all the weight , got in shape , quit smoking , alcohol, etc . My entire lifestyle overhauled . So these days I find that when I just allow it , knock it off the golden pedestal, the less I care about it . 90% of my diet is healthy whole low carb food .
super Thumb's Up. Wife and I are both trying to reduce our recent "fatty liver" issue and slim our guts in what is generally an otherwise pretty healthy lifestyle situation. I identified sugar only recently as the main culprit, and was amazed at just how quickly it adds up and also how small our liver's tolerance is for daily sugar intake. And cut back on my coffee as well...2 cubes to only 1, but not sure I am going to get below that. we'll see.
Days 1-3: prepare mentally, food journal, patterns and triggers. Reinforce motivation for change. Quitting improves gut health. Imbalance can lead to dysbiosis and SIBO Day 4: reset your pallate Day 7-9: manage cravings and withdrawals. Practice mindfulness techniques. Drink plenty of water. Hydration curbs the need to snack. Exercise boosts mood Day10: celebrate success. Reflect on your achievements. Better mood and energy Develop longterm goals Support network Its a journey ups and downs can happen Reclaim control of your health
OMG! I am the same, never had a sweet tooth until during my pregnancy with my son, he is only three months and I am very aware of the increase in sugar i thought it would die off after i had him... now i understand i am addicted and have to try much harder
It is interesting how doctors always told us "with authority because they were a doctor" to eat low fat foods but these foods were laden with sugar that stacked on the weight.
I have been trying to be on a clean eating diet. I am getting ready to get my gallbladder out. I am on a low fat diet for that which was a hard start. But it's in a way helped my sugar cravings since I've been focusing on lowering my fat diet. I haven't had much of an appetite since finding out about my surgery. But I'm hoping to continue a low fat low sugar diet.
90% of reducing sugar intake happens at the grocery cart or cafe counter-make it a rule to stop buying or bringing home foods with added sugar! At first, I had to actually avert my eyes from the cookie and bakery aisles-plus the end caps, where sugary pseudo-foods often go on sale-but it gets easier the more you do it. In a short time, the cravings cease as your body adapts to your healthier diet. Remember also that it's best to avoid most high-starch processed foods as well: metabolically speaking, starch is just slow-release sugar.
Going to give you reality. First hand experience. The ONLY way you will kick sugar is a 100% commitment to change your eating habits! There is zero chance otherwise. It's more than just cutting sugar! No bread! No process food! No soda, diet or otherwise. EMPTY the house of ALL junk food, snacks, flavoring, toppings, ice creams, sweets, ALL OF IT MUST GO! For me? The only way this was happening was via Keto diet. You need to commit to a lifestyle of WHOLE FOODS! Your sweets will be the right fruits!. Your snacks? Maybe some nuts, a salad, olives, pickles. The special treat? 90% cocoa dark chocolate. You need to stop using sugar for energy. Took me only two days to get over the worse of it. My biggest cheat was coffee with Splenda! (there are better cheats). It gave me my routine of Coffee, breakfast. Ditch the bread, the potatoes, but kept the eggs, bacon, and coffee. Trick my mind into thinking things were as usual. Grabbed plate full of healthy snacks, but now, snacks are olives, a nice salad with only red wine vinegar and olive oil. NO ICE CREAM. No cheating! It's a MASSIVE change. Over time, you'll learn that there's many alternatives to store bought processed good foods. EVEN ICE CREAM made with heavy cream will be your future treat! BUT, it will actually be processed they way nature intended! Go for it! Can't tell you how proud I am of ditching sugar!
I agree with almost all that you have noted. For me I had gained 70 lbs and with limited to wearing sweat pants and oversized shirts. Also health issues. Seeing the occasional photo of my obese self also motivated me. So one day I went cold turkey on all the foods that got me to where I was. Took two weeks to break the habit. Started walking about the same time. Short leisurely walk over time became a brisk walk of 3 to 4 miles 4 to 5 times a week. Also listened to upbeat podcasts that distracted my mind from the boring part of walking for 45 to 60 minutes (10 to 20 minutes in the beginning). And if the podcast was really good, I would walk till it was over. Now 200 lbs instead of 270 my life is reborn. From size 46 to 38, my clothing is loose for all the right reasons and I feel 10 years younger. Ironically, my friends chided me as I lost weight. They said I was getting to thin. How crazy is that!
@gregohare2406 that is awesome! Congrats! Early on in my eating habit changes. Slow goes, but it goes. Happy you made it! Keep up the walking. I find my struggle w depression makes walking a mega struggle. Upbeat and depression don't mix, lol. Stay well!
I would focus more on meat and leafy non starchy vegetables. I don’t recommend fruit, nuts, flour, bread, pasta, beans and carbs in general. My wife and I have eaten this way for almost 4 years and both have lost 50#! We are retired FP and psychiatry since early COVID and healthier than when we retired.
I am fasting my Islamic fast , and try to stop my life habit of breaking fast on too many dates and sweets. Yesterday I resisted for three hours , but , sadly gave up to a couple of Maltesers. 😭😭😭
Sugar is addictive. Three years ago i stopped carbs and sugar..all carbs even veggies and fruit..Last fall i had a rough time and started eating it again moderate...but this has made me eat it and run for it like ever again...sunday this week i stopped again...must stop that sugar dragon cause its addictive. So here o go again..I can do it because I did it before..thanks for you kind words!!
Absolutely want to cut out sugar. I will follow this as well as doing the 16/8 intermittent fasting. And not putting milk in my coffee. I only added that because I thought it reduced the calcium pull from coffee. Is that true?
Sugar… is made to be like crack. It is known to be addictive. I generally don’t eat sugar at all, only because I make all my food and rarely eat processed anything including drinks. I also raise honey bees, and they provide sweet for my cooking and drinks.
Healthy Keto works but and don't listen to so called experts. Be patient with yourself and if something is working don't give up and go forward. No one got fat over night so give your self a chance to heal and weight will follow.
So, how am I supposed to eliminate everything in the house when my family does not believe you can be addicted to sugar and therefore, refuse to have junk taken out of the house. It’s all around me and I am ridiculed for thinking sugar is harmful.
I agree with other commentators: 1. We all know sugar is bad, but do YOU really understand sugar addiction. Clearly you do not. 10 days of clean eating really doesn't do it. 2. Showing pictures of sugary treats to people trying to beat a sugar addiction is ignorant and wrong. This whole video is gross.

Don’t sell yourself short. It took me 2 weeks to kick the habit of sugar and unhealthy eating. I also came from a family of eaters. I self medicated myself with food all of my life. Whenever I got upset, I would eat something. Ironically, having been obese for most of my life, when I started loosing weight some of my friends would chide me and say I was getting too thin. I went from 270 lbs to 200 over an 18 month period. I was resolved to make my health my number one priority.
@@gregohare2406 I've done a sugar detox for 21 days and the cravings were no better on 21 than on Day 1. I was religious about not consuming any sugar, no sweetener of any kind, nothing processed, no dairy, no gluten, not even any coffee. The only thing that I ate was meat, chicken, non starch veg, plain nuts, eggs and olive and avocado oil. The only questionable thing I ate was less than half cup berries each day. What was I doing wrong? Any advice?
@@kermierogers7876 Sounds like you were on the right track. Did you up your fat content? Protein is not an efficient energy source, so we need a certain amount of protein and then after that you’ll basically want to switch out carbs for fat. This will help keep you satiated.

this friday , would be 4 weeks that i cut sugar...I really do not like to over eat sweet foods. Now I like to eat vegetables and meet more
Dr. Robert Lustig supports this sugar message. Not only sugar but high fructose corn syrup and highly processed white flour are even worse!!

Curious what you think about preparing to cut sugar intake by increasing protein and fat intake to curb hunger before actually eliminating sugar.
That's what I did however , years of restricting lead me to heavy binges . So now I've lost all the weight , got in shape , quit smoking , alcohol, etc . My entire lifestyle overhauled . So these days I find that when I just allow it , knock it off the golden pedestal, the less I care about it . 90% of my diet is healthy whole low carb food .

Replace sugars with animal fat and eat until comfortably stuffed. The fat is satiating and will replace the cravings sugar and insulin perpetuate.
you replace sugar with fat that is not for your heart and arteries also your brain.
groundbreaking advice, how to quit sugar, quit eating sugar, thanks

Are sugar substitutes (stevia) allowed

U r always wonderful
I'm stressed out now I'm going to sugar for comfort in order to cope with all the damn stress I'm going through now

Sugar substitutes like Stevia, Monk Fruit, etc.?? Allowed??
There's health risks to those. I'm a nobody but I would not recommend.
Final day of the 10-day plan: congratulate yourself and celebrate with a slap-up feast of choccy cake, banana split and toasted marshmallows.

Yes, I'm cutting out sugar, but our brain does need sugar. What do you think about it? I think that's the real question!!!
No brain need sugar!! Brain need protein. Fat and protein to heal myelin! Carnivore diet is so helpful!!
