Togowe stand

How is it going?

If see didn't update probably was corrupted by sugar
Tomorrow never comes. You need to start today. NOW!
@@junemccoy8301 did you lie? NO
It's been 30 days since I cut out sugar, dairy product, vegetable oil and I still have to come back here every night because my craving hasn't leave me alone and I come here to remind myself why I started. Don't give up. We are not going this far just to go this far.
Respect hope you still going strong
What about now?
Try hypnosis videos and keep going until you don't want sugar at all because the first few videos you try might not be the one which works best for your brain
Quit ALL carbs, then hunger and all cravings disappear
Is wheat bread allowed? Or no bread at all? Thx
1. Make decision, quit cold turkey
2. Don't drink calories, eat them
3. Add protein to every meal
4. Right carbohydrates, non starchy veggies
5. Good fats every meal
6. Manage stress
7. Quit gluten and dairy 10 days
8. Sleep
Gluten free bread made me sick with migraines because of the xantham gum. Going gluten free is not thar simple.
Just eat meat, eggs and some vegetables
Thank you for summarization
Ok But I cant do #1
Why quit gluten and dairy? Why not starchy veggies?
1 like 1 hour without sugar

So did you stay away from sugar Savannah?
That’s basically 20 days and 8 hours

I never got addicted to meth weed or liquor, but sugar i cannot seem to kick.
Ditto
I heard its 10x more addictive then heroin
Genius Idiot I’m sorry to hear of your struggles. My prayers are with you!!!
The trick to beating sugar is remembering - it’s actually less tempting the longer you stay away from it! Do everything to get through that first day and you’ll be cruising. You never crave sugar more than the few minutes after you finish your last treat. I call it riding the sugar train, that cycle of eating sweets, getting that high, crashing and doing it all over again. But sugar only makes you want more sugar, it’s a craving that never actually gets satisfied.
@Genius Idiot damn bud, im sorry to hear that! have you tried oil pulling and remineralizing toothpastes for your teeth? i actually am just swishing around some uncle harry's remineralizing toothpaste and nano hydroxyapatite ART toothpaste because it fills active carries when i do choose to eat a ton of icecream or something. Have you tried just grabbing a bag of carrots and celery and trying to replace some of those sugary meals with raw vegetables?
This video changed my life. Not permanently, I do still have bumps in the road, but I lost 70 pounds and have kept it off for 3 years
you are changed permanently, its just not perfect.
which is incredible! perfection is beyond boring anyway
Good for you! What an inspiring decision you've made. Thank you for your testimony
So proud of you!!!❤❤
* *It took a MONTH for my sugar cravings to cease!* * That was the tough area for myself. Mostly, after dinner I'd want a nutty-buddy peanut wafer crunch bar (Little Debbie, I believe they're called).
Yes, I DID quit cold-turkey. My physical was last week and the doctor was impressed with the bloodwork. He asked me how:
- Borderline fatty liver is no longer.
- Cholesterol levels are back in check.
- Blood/sugar is within normal range.
- Blood pressure still a bit high at 148/85 (normal for someone in their 60's is 140/80).
- Dropped 20 pounds (10 kilo).
- And I'm training for a half-marathon in the spring (13.1 miles / 21 km).
- All this was accomplished over the summer and fall of 2021 *- WITHOUT -* medicines.
That’s SO awesome! ❤️ Congratulations!
your blood pressure is still high.

Wow congratulations!!! Great job!
I’ve got such a sweet tooth and resistance is poor but I’m gonna try thank you x
Sugar addiction is most common addiction in the world.
But strange part is that many don't consider it as addiction.
Thanks so much for your comment Mr. Obvious
You are absolutely right, and the reason behind it, is that everyone is locked up in denial. They don't want to see it. I've been addicted to sugar my whole life, and only managed to get rid of that addiction twice ; the first time when I was in a relationship a few years ago (at the time, my partner and close relatives were taking my concern as a joke, neglecting the importance of my struggle (it's extremely hard to stop sugar) and kept offering me lots of chocolates and sweets because they knew I liked it (of course ! Like an alcoholic likes good wine, or a bottle of Whisky, but would you offer them those when they're in rehab ?), making me slowly plunge back into my addiction. "You know you like it, it's not a serious issue, just enjoy life." The second time being now, as I'm finally reaching the sixth day without pastries, fruit juices, smoothies, chocolate.
I'd go as far as to say that no issue is more urgent when it comes to public health, than fighting against sugar addiction. It would alleviate the public debt if we could avoid all the cardiovascular illnesses, cancers, long-term illnesses directly linked to sugar comsumption. But there are two conflicting agendas in presence :
- public health
- economic growth
Indeed, they need us to consume as much as possible, and so, encouraging the consumption of highly addictive food is a very efficient maneuver from the food industry, that generates billions of dollars a year. The economic impact of sugar can not be overestimated.
@@Demowan People who try to force you into things shouldn’t be in your life.. it’s not healthy.
its ruining my freakin life for the last 10-12 yrs *sighs
It’s insane that sugar is so addictive. Why is something so good, so bad lol
Because what they are calling "sugar" is really a toxic and highly addictive CHEMICAL DRUG: HIGH FRUCTOSE CORN SYRUP MADE FROM GENETICALLY MODIFIED FRANKEN-CORN!! People ate cane sugar sweetened treats all the time back in the 60s and 70s and everyone looked like models back then. Almost NOBODY was fat, much less obese. Do the math. Stop being duped by these devils.
That’s why it’s good
I say that about weed.
@@moji6625 uuummmm weed is a plant. Look up the benefits, it's not bad for you. And then look up how and why weed became a "drug".
That's what crackheads say about cracks cocaine...
It’s like being in a toxic relationship, you know it’s bad for you and you try to leave but keep going back
Yup, I agree!!!! 💯 and I keep telling the sugar..... "This is the last time, I ain't about to keep messin' with you, you're destroying my life."
Years ago I managed to stop processed sugar for an year and a half and I felt amazing. My skin felt amazing, no more bloating, regular bowel movements and no weightgain. The first 2 weeks I must say were really difficult. I can assure you it's worth it. I am starting today again.
hi! how are you now? were you successful?
@@nfinnitathey abandoned us!
I can quit weed and feel nothing, nicotine addiction was a joke to me. Sugar urges me every single day, and it's everywhere.
Go to a meeting? Nice guy brought donuts for everyone. Back at home? Mom's famous apple pie. Out with friends? Have fun only eating salad. Grocery shopping? Spend $20 more or cave in. Why have they done this to us???
When you go out to eat with friends, order steak, the BEST cut , no potato, no bread. Sit at the end or corner of the table. Do have a salad, with regular ranch dressing. Treat yourself to that giant steak and you won't eat carbs, and it's a treat, don't worry about the cost. Enjoy the meal.
I wouldn't mind a salad but the problem is that they are loaded with sugar anyway. Also I dunno if this is true but I heard subway in the US washes their lettuce with sugar water haha
Dude, don't eat cow flesh. 🤢
november132 I’ve worked at subway and never heard of this but it could also depend on the store since they’re are franchises so it’s probably true lol
november132 I worked at subway and no we do not wash shit with sugar water. You really think we’d waste sugar for that?
Cutting sugar in your diet is an essential beauty secret too!
Cut all oil and grains, increase animal fat. Your skin will love you
Soooo true! When I cut sugar like 2 years ago my skin was glowy and dang near flawless! I started back eating the sugar and now my skin is just okay. I want my glowy skin back!
@@CourtneyyMorriss when your skin was flawless, did you cut all added sugar or you lowered carbs too?? Were you still eating fruits and starchy veggies?? Judt curious 🙂
@@Honey-ny3zq hey! I had only cut out processed sugar. The only fruit I cut out were bananas because they are loaded with sugar, natural of course, but other than that I ate how ever much fruit and veggies I wanted. The more veggies the better!!
@@CourtneyyMorriss Awesome! Thank you!! I've been transitioning to a more whole foods diet about a month now, but still eat sweet fruits to curb my sugar cravings like melon, apples, bananas, mangos etc. Sometimes I still get hormonal cystic acne when it's time for my cycle which made me a bit discouraged...and some flare ups of other symptoms, but it's no where near as bad. I guess I just need to give my body time to adjust! Maybe I should consider lower sugar fruits as well and cut the bananas and mangoes. Stick to berries, melons & citrus. 🙂
I was curious because you hear so many people talk about keto when they say they eliminate sugar xP. Thank you for taking time to respond!
Doing it . Day 23. The cravings and banging headaches have gone. But it's still shockingly hard 😰
He clearly underestimated how much I like Haagen Dazs salted caramel ice cream
Haagen Dazs pistachio my favorite

😋
@@silversurfer9588 never heard of that one!
Nothing but the coffee flavor ice cream could REALLY tempt me.
1st- Make a decision to break the sugar habit.
2nd- Quit cold turkey.
3rd- Don't drink your calories, eat them. Eliminate soda, ect.
4th- Add protein to every single meal.
5th- Eat the right carbohydrates for 10 days. Only non-starchy vegetables.
6th- Manage your stress.
7th- Quit gluten and dairy for 10 days.
8th- Get at least 8 hours of sleep.
great advice! Id add take quality supplements, most people are majorly deficient in vitamins and minerals.
But how can certain food taste nice without milk and cheese and butter or yoghurts??
@@rebeccabell1994 add spices and herbs (preferably not much salt).
I would also point out that you should try to drink more water than usual
I might need this, i can't even eat my favorite sweets anymore. So no sugar for 10 days and eat healthy?
@@aocplusme5676 : etcetera meaning like-minded actions, idea’s, foods, etc 😉
I was good for 4 days than i had a doughnut and holy crap...one doughnut ruined the whole day..i ended up eating 4 cookies at 1030pm.yup...flour and dugar are the devil
So did I it’s so annyoing
Here's something that might help: Before you start eating the way Dr. Hyman suggests, make sure you have plenty of healthy, tasty snacks with healthy fats in them. You can find great ideas online. It's an investment in your well-being! All the best to you!
😂😂😂😂
I ate 4 cookies at 10pm :(
Mmmmmmmmm dooooouuugggnnnuuutttttt
I so love how there was an ad for 'Lindor Chocolate' before this video started. LOL !!!!
I broke my addiction to sugar. Then i fell for it again. I want to break it once and for all and never get back to it.
How is it going today?
I'm addicted it's not that easy to just give it up
Exactly. He's talking like some of us have a choice. "Do these drastic ten things...just do them, friend!" Oooooh Kayyy doccc.
@@user-ro3qu3bx9f very inspiring words thanks for sharing I'm suffering terribly of binge eating due to sugar
@@adambrass5163 exactly! He says just quit cold turkey, man that's easier said than done
It’s not easy but after a few days it gets easier. I cut it gradually.
I get the odd craving now and then, but not that often.
I loved sugary food. I lost a 14lb in just over 2 weeks. Just by cutting the sugar out.
2 strings and a character: Ben n Jerry 😭
I'm starting tomorrow. No sweets/ cakes/ soft drink/ anything that has added sugar
Wish me luck

I'll start tomorrow, hope to stick to it.
Enyone else?
So far in my 46 years of life I've completely avoided drug use, smoking and gambling... yet sugar dominates me.
Never drunk alcohol or did drugs but sugar got a strong hold on me lol
Same 😳
Never had sugar in my life but I love weed and heroin. Same lol
@@daveyesterday8566 Heroine, like Joan of Arc?
sugar is a drug though, but I hear yea. Remember the sugar trade was along with the opium trade of the time.
So preety much stop eating everything you want and eat everything you don't want.
NotoriousNUGS pretty much😒😂
NotoriousNUGS When you stop eating shit that we as humans were not even made to consume, you literally start craving protein and vegetables
hahah, but really why are we only eating stuff that isn't made from mother earth? it's kind of weird right? Maybe because they put alot of unnatural ingredients that make us crazy addict's and can't stop. Then we get sick and have to pay more money. Who wins from this?
Minrr Dosjhahs Umm is this a joke?
Sugar literally comes from nature lmao.
And if you think about it pretty much all the stuff we eat or drink comes from nature but it’s just processed
Well - when you put it like that, what hope is there?😭😭😭😭
Starting tomorrow everyone this is for everyone who could not break the addiction including myself but I will break my addiction
I’m going to start my detox and every time i feel urges i will watch the sugar documentary!

Says the guy who got ice cream in his profile picture
Sugar addiction is physiological not psychological.
Sugar is eight times more addictive than cocaine.
But sugar addiction is easier to break than a drug addiction.
It takes only ten days to break a sugar addiction.
Hear are the keys to break the sugar habit. Do this for ten days and you won't crave sugar
1. Make a thoughtful, conscientious decision to quit sugar
2. quick cold turkey all sugar, flour and artificial sweetners
3 eliminate msg's and processed food that can feed addition to sugar.
4. eliminate sport drinks, soft drinks, juices, teas, etc (green vegetable juice is ok)
5 add protein to every meal eggs, fish, nuts,
6. non starchy vegetables, asparagus, green beans, etc
7. eat natural fats: avocado, nuts, etc
8 manage stress. mental stress changes the body chemistry
9. quit glutten and dairy
10. sleep. get eight hours of sleep.
I'll give this a try
Hello! Did you try this? If so, How did it work for you?
+Joe Smith
what for a shit eight times more addictive than cocaine, in what do you measures this??? It is quite easy to stop sugar, but quite difficult to stop cocaine, alcohol and the rest......
sugar more addictive then coke are you out your fucking mind have you ever seen or saw or witnessed a coke head
+Frederic Beigbeder it is more addictive and it has been tested on animals. Rats addicted to cocaine were choosing sugar over cocaine. Do some research and you will be shocked learning about sugar. I couldn't understand it before but this is a serious addiction. You can be eating chocolate without even realising it. You can be awake at night sweating because you need sugar. And when you stop? Your symptoms are no different from the symptoms of any other addict out there.
what a bullshit.........sugar to compare with cocaine is most ridicolous ever.....I stopped sugar, no discussion.......this silly comparision do not help.....
How to quit sugar? Stop eating sugar... What powerful advice. Why didn't I think of that?
What did you want him to tell you? to eat more sugar?
It's always the same thing. Can someone give a sugar addict real, practical advice so we don't fail before we start!!

Here's a trick I did, for the first 3 days I made sure I was out of the house and really busy, and wasn't thinking about sugar and sweet things. If your just watching TV all the first few days than it is super difficult not to give into the cravings! If you can do that than the sugar cravings by day 4 are much less intense!!!

Hello everyone ,
So i am currently doing this detox. And i want to let ypu know my experience for each day.
So i am 99 kg and 172 cm. I am obese and have had problems with my hormone levels so not easy for me to lose weight. I have not had a period for months...
So i got the book and follow everything that it says. I only eat the produce that it allows me, no cheating. I also drink 2-3 ounces of water a day.
Day 1: i felt great, very enthusiastic. I had no cravings, it was great.
Day 2: the most difficult day sonfR. I had cravings all day. I tried to stop it by having loads of fresh veggies, but did not work. Also I had a banging headache all day. Also i felt so very tired and hard to concentrate.
Day 3: i was feeling better, but headaches remained for a little vit longer. My cravings for chocolate kind of just settled. I felt really tired though still. I weighed myself and i was 98kg. I dont knownif it is actual fat loss or just me not eating much. At this point is also started to be difficult to keep cooking and prepare every single mel for the day and do shopping for it. Meal prepping is time consuming
Day 4 & 5: it was getting easier to not think of sweets and other carbs. I started having abdominal pain, which i did not understand. I head no head aches at this point. But still felt so tired.
Day 6 : The abdominal pains continues and my period actually started which was such a suprise for me. It must have been more than 5 months before i had it.
Heasaches went away completely. I dont crave sugar that much,just a little bit. I crave food that others in my surrounding eat.
Day 7: feeling good ! And i lost 2.5 kg (5.5 pounds). ! I havent had any headaches today!
Day 8 :
So i lost 3.2 kg by now. I have no headache. I am not hungry and my cravings have settld down a lot. I am constantly very thirsty, instead of being hungry (this is because my body is in high fat burning level- ketosis)
Day 9 &10:
I actually did not struggle at all on these days. I do not crave sugar or carbs as bad as i did before the diet. My acne has mainly disappeared. I am not out of breath when i go up the stairs. I weigh 95 kg, so lost 4.9 kg. Amazing!!!:)
I do feel healthier and continuing with the diet to lose more weight.
Updates? Have you kept it up? Did the craving completely disappear?
Thanks for this detailed account. Very helpful!
Hi @Alexandra Saliga, how are you doing now? Are you still of the sugar & carbs? Where you able to keep of it the whole time? Any more weight loss?
👏
Thanks for motivating us by giving us such a detailed description :)
I can't even look at that cake, it's killing me.
I puked looking at the cake
I dont eat cakes cookie brownies bread or have soda...I like to drink apple juice all day ...😔 why am I still fat when i poop 3xs a day at least?
Davicia Williams Cause you don't workout or eat right I'm assuming
That cake is FOOD PORN

Update still not had any chocolate or sweets feel a whole lot better. Quit cold turkey guys you will thank me.
dark chocolate is fine
Georgina Terry hi Georgina you have won Happy Candy Company’s hamper of a years worth of candy!
@@dilksjoel LMAO nice try hahaha
Are you still sugar-free?
I'm on day 2 and not even doing it 100% yet, I'm taking this real slow. I can definitely feel anxiety, restlessness, depression, foggy brain, droopy eye, drowsiness from day 1. Reading helps. Drinking a small cup of matcha w almond milk also helps. Anyone who's currently going through all of these effects?
Odd. Guess your body got accustomed to it.
It is not odd at all. You are getting low blood sugar because your body is still used to pumping out insulin. Research "keto flu" before cutting sugar out cold turkey. The best remedy is lots of water & electrolytes.
I’m starting this tomorrow. 💪🏼
I was wondering why I wasn’t successfully loosing weight and keeping it off..
THIS is why! 🙄
🤞🏼
Damn just thinking about no sugar makes me crave it. We are all addicts! 😭
Soooooo true, and VERY TRUE!
Goodies taste good! Baked goods r my thing. Candy is too sweet. Can pass.
Successfully completed 30 days without sugar/sweets and began a diet. Lost 12-13 pounds in that month. Didn’t eat any sweets and only had granola as a snack on the side. Had a slice of ice cream cake to celebrate the month and now transitioning to having a sugary snack once a week. Once I had my cake I felt some cravings come back but I’m used to kicking them away now.
Isn't granola sugar sweetened?
Good job alternative universe me 👍
Granola has lots of sugar.
From my own experience in quitting sugar, re-introducing it in small amounts is like a recovering alcoholic re-introducing alcohol in small amounts. It doesnt end well. This from someone that has quit sugar completely several times only to be pulled back in applying the same logic as the OP.
@@dondajulah4168 same here. I always think “I’m good now, I can reintroduce it in small amounts, just like any normal person.” Three days later I’m addicted again.
My turn, I'm starting today! My birthday is Friday, ohh maybe I should start then 🤔.. nope my decision is made it begins today. No cake for me, this is what you call starting with a bang! 💥 wishing you all a wonderful day! 💫💞
I’m in West Virginia, I’ve known of your wonderful Doctors and treatments for years. I’m so sorry it’s taken me this long to find your channel.
The mistake many people make is they don't realise how dangerous sugar is! What annoys is me the most is the fat free industry. Every single product labeled as fat free has a much higher sugar content. It's shocking! If you don't believe me, watch That Sugar Film documentary. 😡
MagdaEnigma007 exactly! Healthy fats like avocado and nuts are so great
+Maggie A YES!! That is a must see film. I honestly think kids should be forced to watch it in school.
Fat free foods have a higher sugar content to make the product more palatable. Same with diet pop. You actually end up drinking more diet pop to get the same effect you are seeking from regular pop, and artificial sweeteners are even more dangerous to your body than natural sugar. I wish everyone the best in breaking their sugar addiction!
Ikr! Because there's less fat they put in more sugar so it doesn't taste like cardboard. Then they slap the words fat free on it and everyone thinks it's healthy.
Yes! It’s a disgrace🤬
The doctor: So get more sleep.

•Make a decision to break habit
•Quit cold turkey
•Dont drink calories but eat them
•Add protein
•Eat only non starch veggies
•Manage stress and dont do emotional eating
•Quit dairy
•Sleep for 8hours
I'm on day 3 of cutting processed sugar now cold turkey (I'll update after 10 days), and I finally feel the cravings subsiding. But I'm going slow. I have not cut out flour or dairy yet, but I have made it more minimal, like switching to tortillas and flatbread/drinking water. Day 2 was the hardest for me... I had to turn down homemade strawberry ice cream, and the case of cokes that've been sitting on the table since before day 1.
Here are some changes (but mind that I am 22 and female)
- I've had no bloating, I used to constantly switch the notches on my watch, but that's gone.
- My night owl behaviors are going away (Also taking vitamin D3)
- The tiny bumps on my upper arms and thighs are starting to go away
- My taste is changing, and now plain veggies taste stronger and more appealing than before
- Not drowsy throughout the day
- Getting deeper, better rest
Overall, I'm glad I tried this. I have better self-esteem, and I don't desire to overeat. I swear sugar makes you hungrier.
Day 8: Almost there! The bumps on my skin are almost nonexistent. Dark circles heavily reduced too. I have also notice it get way softer to the touch. I've lost 6 pounds steady, but then again, I have not completely stopped eating flour. I feel no craving anymore for candy or soda. I'm so motivated to exercise, and even think about it through the day. I feel really happy and my sleep schedule is as perfect as clockwork now. 😄
More than half a month in. Excited to report my skin has totally cleared up, and my teeth are great! Started craving VEGGIES instead! I did taste a tiny bit of chocolate, but I was surprised to see I didn't really enjoy it. Junk food taste quite gross now. My life has really taken a 180° all from this video. I could not be more happy. I don't even feel the need to attend therapy anymore 😊
is there i center for this addiction..where we can stay for a long time?
I know right. Pretty much gauranteed no cheating there or running out the back door.
There is a place in Northern CA called Weimar Institute that can turn you health (and bad eati g habits) around in just a few weeks. I'm thinking of going there.
Realization center in nyc
Is there a sugar patch. You know rich you would get if someone develops the patch for sugar.
That's what I need lol
After I finish this tub of ice cream, I'll quit my sugar sweets.
Lmmfao underrated comment
Haha. That sounds like me! I've cut back as I too, am afraid to acquire diabetes. It's next to impossible! I just hope it isn't too late for me as I've eaten way too many sweets for years.
After I finish this universe sized chocolate Bar I will quit sugar for 30 days
Me too!
Starting my 30days no sugar challenge from tomorrow! 15th Oct 2021! Will come here after 1 week for the update. Wish me luck. 👍🏻😵💫
I stopped just over 2 months ago. It is very true that the more you eat the more you crave. Literally had to fight the cravings and distract myself all the time. After about 3 days the cravings stopped. I only have a very small amount of anything sugary now, and only occasionally. I was having a ridiculous amount before that ....well it felt like that to me, though probably not as much as my husband is still consuming. It was mainly chocolate with me.
Reducing my sugar intake broke my weight loss plateau and helped me start losing weight again I wasn't even calorie counting
I’m on day 6 of no sugar. Day 1-3 totally sucked. Day 4-6 also totally sucked but a little less. It’s getting easier. This is the first day I haven’t had a massive headache. I haven’t been physically hungry at all (just mental cravings) and without eating sugar I’ve been averaging 1300 calories a day with no problem.
Keep going. I have gone sugar-free several times. I'm back on track now and I feel like exercising when I eat right. And I usually only need 2 meals a day, no snacking- because when you're eating right, it's hard to cram more food in.
Its probably late to reply
Im on the same track, its freaking hard day 6 here
Massive headache
Im craving it so badly and it doesn't help that iwork at a department where its all sweets but im fighting it
@@nanokuma keep going!! I’ve restarted several times since the original post, it’s just all mental once I got past the first week and a half. Constantly working on that part…
@@beachcruising4607 😋👍I am still on track! I think it went away and I decided to do fasting
I drank twice as much water.
I do have life issues too but I always have to remember why I want to lose weight and be healthy if I ever crave.. My hobbies and exercises keep me busy.
You got this, I'm sure you will go longer ☺ hopefully you will achieve your goal
Short and to the point, awesome info BIG THANKS!!!
I’m currently on the Daniel Fast which prohibits added sugar. Sugar is definitely addictive, you can feel your body craving it. I go through sugar withdrawals on about day 3 (sometimes later) which includes headaches and fatigue. So easy to get hooked back on sugar again when you come off it, so I will probably continue fasting like this occasionally throughout the year.
How you gonna do a video like this yet put that deliciously looking chocolate cake in front of a bunch of fkng addicts like us!
Exactly
lol i was ready to relapse
🤣😂
😂😂😂😂👏🏽
real life .....
ONLY TEN DAYS? I can’t go 6 hours
Bruh same
I've seen this man in so many documentaries. He's doing the lord's work.
Thank you for this video. It's helpful.
Science: 8 hour sleep and don't get stressed
University: we don't do that
I didn't realize how addictive sugar was until I went on the keto diet for 30 days. I had to come off of it for medical reasons and decided to have a cinnamon roll, against all my better judgement. I could not believe how overpowering the sweetness was, and how little flavour was in it, firstly. But then I was blown away that despite not liking the taste and and wanting to stop, I kept eating and eating, feeling like a slave to the compulsive urge to just lose myself in it. I was so blown away because I'd never realized what it was really like all the years of having a sugar-filled diet, and how disgusting it actually is to eat the food.
I know I have a serious addiction to sugar. Listening to these steps are sending me into a panic. I don’t think I’m ready.
I need to do this starting tomorrow. My body is reacting so bad to sugar lately, never thought much of it before. I'm breaking out horrible painful acne, gaining weight and bloating, and overall general discomfort and digestion issues. So yea, I need to finally kick this. Sugar is my biggest problem I face I have tried over and over to quit and I just can't 😔
I fasted in Ramadan and are zero junk food and anything with sugar added to it. My addiction to sugar is gone., thank God...!
Im going to try this during ramadan, inshallah!
I am sorry to break it to you, it was not God, it was your body's physiology.
@@Fannullone did he say it was? He said he cut out those foods and it helped him. Weirdo
@@ye23. The OP literally ended his comment with "thank God...!" Not sure how you missed that.
@@Fannullone And his body's physiology was created by God.
Eating protein at meals, removing sugary drinks, and switching to the right amount and type of starch foods, I agree, are important strategies for removing sugar cravings. however, I've found that including occasional intentional treats, instead of quitting 100% of sugar, is more successful for clients over the long-term.
Thank you ♥️ I'm going to start with no more Sugar.
I’ve had a sugar addiction as long as I can remember. I’m 51 now and had a gastric bypass three years ago. I STILL struggle with a sugar addiction. I gave up frozen coke last year during Lent. I still don’t fl drink it but wish I could. I even still have literal dreams of drinking it!
I have been clean for years, than I started to eat snack bars as I started going to uni and now it's worst than ever. Gained nearly 30 pounds and my acne showed up again. Tomorrow morning I'll start this 10 days challenge. Wish me luck
Good lucK Hon.
me on day 10 : HAAAAAAAAAAAH I MADE IT! FINALLY FREE OF THE BEAST!
me on day 11: wow, so great to be finally not a junkie anymore
me on day 12: buys the whole candy shop, dies from blissful overdose
Hubert Shitmeyer lol
I would be interested in knowing, actually, in all seriousness, if you or anyone else actually tried to do this and how did it work for them
@@GhANeC I did, but I didn't really had access to all that fancy healthy food. I managed not to eat sugar for entire 3 weeks! I think that was the longest I ever managed and it's probably my biggest accomplishment in life. However after 3 weeks it mentally broke me down and I came back to the addiction.
@@koza9842 Happy to hear you had a solid go at it and it worked without fail for that long. It's quite a decision and a tough one to follow through everyday, especially when you're in the throes of addiction for so long. I should know.
You should feel very proud of yourself for that accomplishment, as so many people can't ever even bring themselves to think seriously about the decision itself. But you've done it, and now you know more than most.
So what little or big things do you think eventually contributed to you not being able to stay away anymore? What would you do more or differently hypothetically if you should ever go at it again, or what advices would you give someone like you who wanted to seriously do it and not break?
@@GhANeC I think you should find some healthy and tasty recipes. I was lazy and the mistake I made was not really looking into these and so my meals were kind of tasteless which made me miss sugar. Lack of money and finacial dependency also contributed to that.
My family did and didn't help aswell. Even though my mom was willing to buy me some healthy stuff, It wasn't really enough. The sweets were always available and for the first time it took a lot of will power to say no to them, especially when I saw my sibling eating my favourite sweets right infront of me. After some time the will power started to fade. I also noticed that my cravings appear when I wanted to watch a movie. Since I always had some snack to go with it, the movie for me was just way more fun with good food. So again, I missed sugar.
I didn't have any physical withdrawal symptoms for some reason.
Overall, I think my failure was caused by jumping to diet straight away without any baby steps.
I restricted myself too much, both because of my laziness and lack of ingredients needed. And my will power wasn't strong enough after 3 weeks.
Thx for asking btw
Straight to the point. Thank you!
I'm a sugar addict. I'm so greatful that I am not over weight and don't have diabetes. I have tried to stop eating it and I went crazy. I went a week. Just 3 days to go if I had known.
I need a copy of a good diet.
So I’m an alcoholic who’s been sober 3 and a half years and I realise I’m now doing the same with food that I used to do with drink!!
Alkies crave sweets when they quit. Booze must turn to sugar in them.
One of the best informational videos I have seen in 2+ years. Short to the point, no gimmicks and anyone can understand. 10 out of 10 stars.
I love his content for those exact reasons!
I'm starting today, no excuses. I believe in myself. It'll be very tough and I'm sure I'll back slide but in the end I know that I'll keep trying !!
Thanks for your clear explanation and good advices
This is worse than being addicted to Cocaine 😥
Press X to doubt
no it’s not
@@bamabelle7075 aight i'll just go put some cocaine in my lemonade
I've done cocaine and meth. Tell me why they don't do anything for me and I get the real rush from eating my sugar?
@@REDEEMERWOLF
Maybe you're nuerodivergent
gosh i'm right now having a sugar addiction, i'm cryinggg!!!
I love that he got straight to the point! This will be lots of help for me cause I love chocolate 🍫 and it’s been my kryptonite. 😔
I'm definitely taking advice from Dr. Hyman on how to break things.
Btw if anyone here loves sugary soft drinks but wants to quit them, grab yourself sparking water with minimal sodium and 0 sugar (obviously) and buy some limes.
Squeeze half a lime or full lime into about a pint of sparkling water. Boom. Best substitute for soft drinks i've ever found.
Haven't tried oranges or pineapple with sparkling water yet but i'm going to later today.
It's way easier to just fast for 10 days
myoplex1 you might be onto something.
PorridgeCat as long as you drink lots of water with electrolytes you’ll be fine throughout the process
For what benefit?
Or you can eat like a normal person and stop being a fat ass lmao
Helpless romantic Boi you wouldn’t be here on this channel if you weren’t a fat ass lmao
Thank you So Much!!!
My Addiction to sugar has fed the cancer cells in My body and it has returned! ⚘🙏🏽
