I had hypoglycemia for a long time as a teen. It took years to figure out that it was actually because i ate too much sugar. For a long time in my early adult life i ate extremely clean and it went away. When i met my husband, my eating habits got bad again, and it came back and i developed pcos. We are both eating much healthier now, but im also starting to go through menopause, and am dealing with painful ovarian cysts. I have screwed myself up and am reaping what ive sown as i get older. For all you young people, dont get into bad eating habits because you will pay for it in middle age.
Are you trying to eat a raw food diet and no added sugar or salt? Perhaps, nuts, seeds, beans, grains, vegetables and berries? Eating a low calorie diet and occasional fasting can also help. Are you trying to stay at a healthy weight?
yes, I respect you for taking accountability and responsibility for your actions. Many women (certainly not all) change for the worse during menopause and I've known for a while now that the foods and drinks that many women eat throughout their lives are causing these issues. Consistent bad decisions catch up eventually. Just menopause/infertility in general happens as EARLY as it does for the majority of modern women because of all the poison that females grow up putting in their bodies including all forms of synthetic medications. A baby girl is born with all the eggs she will ever have, but statistically, by the time most females reach the age of 30, they only have less than 5-7% of the eggs they had as children. this is due to all these poisons like processed anti-biotics (anti-life), processed sugars, GMOs, alcohol poisoning, smoking, etc. Some women in the Hunza community in Pakistan can give birth at the age of 90 years up to this day, these women are not superior, they merely live their lives the way they are supposed to live.
Yes, isn't it amazing that you feed kids breakfast laced with sugar, send them off to school on a sugar high, give them lunches and snacks laced with sugar, then expect them to sit quietly and do schoolwork all day and then people are shocked when the school says your kid has ADD/ADHD and the doctor says they have juvenile diabetes and a whole host of other conditions. The term child abuse comes to mind.
Both of my dad's parents lived to be 95. My grandfather built a house with my dad at 85. They ate sugar. Grammy always had candy dishes out. She made the best coconut cake with jelly beans for easter and my bday. Back then, the food industry wasn't hip on killing us for greed. Times have changed.
The difference then was that they weren’t eating all of the added sugar in processed food, they were eating much cleaner so a piece of candy here and there, cakes for special events etc didn’t have the same impact.
Sugar is in so much nowadays. And not just plain sugar, but the overly processed high fructose corn syrup, sucralose, etc. That, along with the seed oils is nasty for your body. Ever since my husband and I switched to mostly homemade food and cut out most sugar, we feel better, more awake, have more energy, most of my husband's GI issues went away, and my anxiety has mostly disappeared.

Its like big youtube channels with million subscribbers never reply in comment section to people....because someone else is running the channel for them, on youtube, on Favcebook, on twitter, on Instagram.......but you click "like" on their content, because millions of people did too. Only small channels reply to commenters, and they dont chase "likes" because their motivation is not to have million subscribers but healthy content. So these small channels activelly know what the subscriber is interested about, because thye read alot of comments. Food industry is similar......You can not directly ask them anything and you like their content because million people buy their stuff. These industries only watch algorithm andd statistics of interest, not the algorithm of what is healthy. thye neverask any customer directly what thye like. As big youtube channels or facebook channels never ask directly any single commenter, what they like, because they are only interested in numbers and statistic not the connection with people.
Dr. Hyman since I am watching your videos, I am doing whatever you recommend. I trust in everything you say, after 6 months I cheated only once, remembering that you once said we can cheat one day. I am feeling much better. Thank you so much. God bless you.
Anecdotally, I've always been a sugar fiend and I've always had anxiety and depression. The only times I felt in control of my mental health were times I actively cut out added sugar and focused on eating whole, homemade foods. Once I start eating sugar, I find the cravings are intense, my mood changes, and I start sleeping poorly and feeling depressed - all triggering a desire for more sugar for that "uplifting" effect. It's wild. And the amount of sugar in our food supply is absurd.
Mark, I really appreciate you, I've been a follower of your channel for a long time and I've learned a lot from you. But, I must say that "listen to your body" is a very bad advice. I'm hooked on sugar like a mad person, I'd eat a kilo of nutella a day and then cake and then a whole pineapple and repeat. I feel these cravings in my whole body and I'm loving the high. Right now I should listen to the voice of reason instead of my body. My body is fooling me, i don't feel bad side effects from the amount of sugar that I'm eating, i only feel that I want more of it. I'm not even fat, my BMI is normal, probably because I exercise a lot. But metabolically, I'm very sure I'm unhealthy. So, people, you better listen to Mark's podcast and double check with your body ❤😂😉
Thank you, doctor! We know now that sugary foods are not good, but why people still eat sugar? Very easy answer: they have no joy,only work ,even they do not sleep enough.
I quit sugar three years ago and my depression is just as bad as ever. I went Keto so I lost weight and otherwise feel fantastic. I don’t eat overprocessed food and stick to a whole food diet. I switched to Primal Kitchen products to get rid of sugar and crap oils in salad dressing and ketchup. I quit soda 10 years ago. Alas, my depression still comes every three years when the meds wear off.
Have you checked your labs? I found that for me, I was not eating enough fat and was severely low on vitamin D. After continuing keto into a more high-fat carnivore while getting enough sleep from 10pm-5am and dosing vitamin D3+k with a minimum of 170g of fat per day, my depression went into remission and has still been in remission without medication for 3+ years.
SsRIs can be a factor here. I would recommend having your B vitamin, D3, and magnesium monitored. These medications contain fluoride which rob your body of essential nutrients and trace minerals.
Update on using avocado. Seems I went a bit too fast into eating other things. I can't tolerate oxalates. I was eating whole avocados. Then sweet potatoes (alternating). It was horrible for a few days. I went to fresh lemon juice in water and I'm fine now.
I rarely eat sugar except in Auguson Farms creamy wheat cereal in winter and I don`t put much in it. I sometimes eat oatmeal that I get in a food pantry bag and add whole milk/butter powder. I`m poor so I mostly eat lightly smoked sardines in olive oil or mustard (I buy at least two 18 pack cases a month), tuna, crackers, nuts, peanut butter and whatever I can grow (I have a vegetable garden 365 days a year and three types of 15 young fruit trees, blackberries, strawberries, ground cherries etc), but sometimes I eat carbs and feel better when I`m very hungry. I make biscuits and don`t buy bread and only eat lard or olive oil. No soda. I use organic raw sugar or blackstrap molasses.
@@AngeleAlAahnnAn I`m shocked that my comment wasn`t censored. Thank you for letting me know it`s visible. You can certainly grow a Dwarf Everbearing Mulberry tree indoors in a 5 gallon bucket under a 24w full spectrum light but wear shades when near the light because in some people it can cause vision problems (they say...I don`t have this problem and the UV has helped my eyesight, so). Start with the following to begin learning: IMPORTANT HOBBY TIP: If you live somewhere where you can`t grow food outside and you would like to grow tomatoes look up Pinocchio or Orange Hat micro tomatoes and the ways people grow them inside. Anyone can do it and there are lots of things that are far easier like various salad green types and things like basil. My Pinocchio orange tomato plants are only 8 inches tall and are absolutely LOADED with clusters of fruit and continuously blooming and it`s very easy to get cuttings and make more. My plants are nearly one year old right now.

We`re all helping to develop it so just remember that.
I converted to stevia I make keto chocolate mouse with 92 percent cocoa when I fell like something sweet but when I reset my diet from high processed foods to whole foods that was the only way to get rid of my brain wanting sugar , my whole body stopped aching and energy returned sugar is addictive and destroys the microbes in the gut
But a sweet taste triggers dopamine. Similar risk of overeating. You have to wean yourself off the taste of sweetness by including more bitter foods in your diet. Your taste buds will renew in a few weeks and sweet food will seem overpoweringly sweet.
Yes for sure I agree with the sweet taste and I am finding gradually I use less and crave less but just saying what works for me , bad eating habits is the hardest to reset especially sugar addiction or high carb eating for years , for me I am ok with stevia only use tiny amounts as ten times sweeter , some people can go cold Turkey and some take years to transition off processed foods and sugar if your are a stressed or unhappy person it can make it harder to wean off , so a healthier sweet taste like stevia would be at least a starting point .
@@qhride1 Yes, I use stevia and ethrytol in small amounts too. A lot of people use them to make regular sweetness desserts. I make sugar -free mug cakes and mash them up with a sprinkling of stevia. Those are on my good days when the requirement for sweetness is very low.. Unfortunately, I had some 'low sugar and high fibre' shop biscuits today. I thought I would only have a few after my meal but it was a bit more than that! Still addictive. Blood sugar is raging.
I really appreciate you listing the things we can eat, n eat once in awhile. I’m new to all this so that information is exactly what I need! One thing I know will be impossible-artificial sweeteners. I only use stevia w/my coffee. There’s erythritol in my energy drink too. Oh, n my caffeine free Diet Coke w/lemon wedge every night. I don’t drink alcohol so this is my vice. 🤷🏼♀️
I do love sugar but it doesn’t love me. I’ve cut back significantly over the past year and try not to eat it. I sparingly eat a bit of a goody here and there.
Yes, sounds like they don’t go off the rails, they stick to a small amount. Also if you’re active it should burn it off. I guess our problem is we want more then more.
My dear I actually think it’s the vegetable oils and the processed food that makes us sick yes the sugar is bad but it has been with us for a long time so I think it’s a fuel to the processed food
It's both ..Ultraprocessed foods have all kinds of added sugars like high fructose corn syrup, maltodexin, etc as well as seed oils like sunflower, canola, safflower ..all bad
ua-cam.com/video/HbEGfvdKUdQ/v-deo.htmlsi=KQQIVKSmQ00j0LJY The Swedish comedian Peter Wahlbeck was ahead of his time. Criticizing the farming of sugar beats to make Coca Cola. He is a legend and a hero. This clip was at the Z-tv channel back in the nineties ❤😂
Sugar addict in recovery here 👋. It’s been over 2 yrs and I still struggle at times. I’ve resigned myself to accept that this might be a life long thing that I have to manage. The health benefits that I have experienced by cutting out most sugar far outweigh the occasional struggle.
My husband and I still struggle sometimes too. It's been about three years since we cut out most sugar from our diet. I've found social gatherings are the worst. Most people bring deserts or sugar filled processed foods. It's difficult to say no when you have tons of sugar sitting there. I think we need a Sugarholics Anonymous group to help people trying to keep sugar consumption low. Lol
I’ve been trying to quit sugar for 17 days. It’s still a struggle and I’m grateful for this video. I’m also glad that I’m not alone in this. Let’s do this, guys!💪🏼
I am a retired RN. In the hospital I worked I noticed that some of the foods that were given to our diabetic patients had HFC, the first or second ingredient, for example the so called fruit juices, diabetic jellies……. I personally will not buy anything with HFC in it.
Yes yes yes! I can’t believe what crap the “dieticians” feed us when in hospital when it almost always actually contributes to our poor health condition. I visited a friend of mine in hospital recently and was shocked at the hidden sugars in all “food”. I tried to passively educate my friend, but it was like talking to a brick wall. He clearly is metabolically very unwell.
I’m a med surg RN and I was LITERALLY thinking this very thing this morning! I medicate my patients while they eat food provided by the hospital that is slowly killing themI. It’s insanity.
Adults don’t know how to say, “NO!” They give in to children who refuse to eat this or that then cave and let them eat non nutritious food. Schools do the same. Nobody has the guts to change menus or let kids starve if they don’t want to eat. Believe me, they won’t starve. My children ate homemade soup from the time they could eat. Homemade soup takes 10 minutes to make. And you always have something to eat in fridge! Home Economics was removed from curriculum back in the day. Nobody is learning how and why food is so important especially with children. Wake up!
Meanwhile you eat bacon and coffee. And if we tried to label it as dangerous, you'll yell 'FREEDOM' and complain about big government "trying to take meat away"
@@diegoheredia1223No one can do it in moderation. If you look at how many grams are actually in one serving of something, that one serving already isn't enough to satisfy a craving. Most servings aren't one cup (or around I guess 6-8 ounces). No point in bothering to eat something with what is in the parameters of healthiness. This is a major contributor as to why people don't start in the first place to lessen their food intake in any way.
I believe I harness the power to cure my type 2 diabetes! With God's help and the strength he has given me, I beat anxiety, with His help, I replaced fear with faith! I can do this. Thank you for your care. God Bless you, Kylee Johnson
Awesome God speed. The Lord led me three years ago to Dr Gundry and he led me to Dr Hyman! The Lord leads us down the right path all we need to do is listen! God is good 👍🏼
I was a high school administrator, and every school day I stood in the lunch room and watched the garbage that the federal government subsidized. I remember asking the lady in charge about the serving requirements. Like a protein, two vegetables, a fruit etc. I remember looking at a lunch one day and saying “I only see one vegetable” in which she replied “no there are two!”. “Right there.” One was green beans she stated and with a straight face she pointed out “catsup” as the other vegetable. Oh a “peanut butter goodie” was considered extra protein. It is protein but really!
Ikr! Senator Amy Klobuchar fought to get catsup declared a vegetable, and french fries too. So french fries with catsup counts as "two servings of vegetables" in school lunches. I'd only ever homeschool. The school system is a mess, nutritionally as well as psychologically, and US schools have appallingly low literacy and mathematics proficiency among graduates.
Yeah... we may as well just serve nuts, beans and rice, garden salad, apples, mandarin oranges and water for school lunch. Maybe not too much variation from that.
It’s so hard when everyone else around you doesn’t care or believe that sugar is bad. I had to take my mold healing journey pretty much alone. How do meet others who are already avoiding mold, sugar and toxins bc I don’t want to have to convince anyone bc not everyone is ready yet?
I can relate. If I surround myself with family, I find myself having to explain my way of eating endlessly. It’s exhausting. And they always say, it’s all in my head. Meanwhile, they are all overweight and have varying degrees of physical and mental health issues like anxiety and insomnia. I’m recovering on my own and I’m okay with that. Take care of you!
I am an emotional eater and what I reach for is 9/10 surgery junk. I am determined to stop this insanity. I feel horrible most days. I have had enough.
Betty you can do this. I was a huge sugar addict! I don't eat sugar of any form anymore, but still consider myself to be one, just like an alcoholic. I would hide candy wrappers in the trash so no one would see them. I'd binge eat sugar all the time. I've been carnivore two years and I've never been happier in my life. I've healed everything. Sugar is not tempting to me anymore, but I know that I can never have one drop or bite because it will bring all those cravings back big time. A cocaine addict can't finally become clean and then say, "Oh, I can just have a little in moderation, or every now and then.". That won't work. I know I'm an addict, so I stay away. Other people can eat it in front of me and it doesn't bother me, I don't want it. But I can never put it in my mouth. There are ways to overcome these cravings. Carnivores can help you and are a great support community.
Praying for you. 🙏🏻✝️ Long story short: I truly understand. Pray, gently exercise, read the Bible, and don't eat sugar. Journal your feelings instead of eating for them.
Σε ευχαριστώ για τα βιβλία που έγραψες και ειναι μεταφρασμενα σε πολλες γλώσσες έτσι με αυτόν τον τρόπο μπορείς να βοηθήσεις ανθρώπους απο ολο τον κοσμο.. greetings from Greece 🇬🇷🙏🏼
Got off my belived candy fir a few months now buying some a couple times a week. It's a craving. Weight always the same but still trying to quit, again and again.
I wished the video focused more on all the good things that’ll happen to your body if you stop consuming sugar instead of all the bad things sugar causes. That would be great for motivation. I came here to get hyped to quit but left even more stressed about sugar than motivated. Positive reinforcement matters you know. Thanks for all the info though
@@mikerudd4943 caffeine is a drug with side-effects. It’s not an essential nutrient. The body needs exactly zero caffeine. It ‘can be’ beneficial if you’re a pilot flying during an emergency and need a pick-me-up. It’s not something anybody should be consuming regularly. It’s beneficial the way nicotine is beneficial for somebody addicted to nicotine. If you don’t take it, you sure feel lousy.
@RC-qf3mp it is not so much the caffeine but the nutrients or natural chemicals. Tea and coffee. I think the most studied ingredient on the planet. Both good and bad results. Depends on the individual. I for one don't "need" it, but I do believe it helps my system. I have gone off of coffee many times and started again when finding out I had (had) NAFLD. I "believe " the coffee was one part of clearing my liver
Well, I'm basically off of white sugar and white flour. My diet changed dramatically to a low sucrose diet after I was diagnosed with sucrose intolerance because I'm not producing sucrace. I've lost another 10# and feel a lot better. I have a special diet and have reduced my stomach issues dramatically.
You should really try milling your own whole grains fresh and making bread from that freshly-milled flour yourself. Bread made this way is NOT like a brick AT ALL. It is super nutrient-dense and can even be light and fluffy, depending on the type of grain you use. Soft white wheat is more fluffy, but even hard red and hard white wheat isn’t anything at all like the so-called “whole grain” bread you can buy in the stores! It’s completely different! And it’s delicious! Actually try it yourself. You’ll never go back.
i have diabetes type 1 for 18 years and have developed anxiety and depression in later years this have been really helpful for me to understand what high blood sugar do to my mental health and body. i need to be more careful with my blood sugar
Type 1 diabetic Cyrus Khambatta wrote Mastering Diabetes book and has success on low fat whole food plant based diet. Most people who start the diet he recommends have to reduce their insulin to prevent hypoglycemia.
There are good sugar replacements. Allulose , Bocha sweet and swerve. I bake all kinds of treats sugar free and of course gluten free. You would never know there was no sugar…
But a sweet taste triggers dopamine. Similar risk of overeating. You have to wean yourself off the taste of sweetness by including more bitter foods in your diet. Your taste buds will renew in a few weeks and sweet food will seem overpoweringly sweet. Edit. A sweet taste also spikes insulin
@@sorrykay3450 Allulose is a prebiotic. You should never over eat anything. But for people who need something sweet it’s a good option. Or dark chocolate as long as it’s 73% or higher. You can eat a square not the whole bar if you need a fix…
@@Killerbee67 Even with 95% choc I can overdo it sometimes! It's only habit that makes you want something sweet. But if you know what your own sweet threshold is before you succumb to the slippery slope of a sweet binge, that's fine.
Actual meal at our preschool today : Pizza, canned corn, canned fruit cocktail in light syrup, milk... tomorrow its breaded chicken nuggets, canned pears and canned carrots, rice, milk....then they wonder why the kids are bonkers in the afternoon...
I agree, I stopped all processed sugar three months ago and I feel better than I ever remember feeling my entire life, I’m 52 yo male…. My anxiety is nearly gone completely….seriously I look so much younger now! Sugar is poison!
I'm loving your slower rate of speech. I'm just not understanding my high fasting glucose, cholesterol, borderline insulin resistance considering my clean diet, too many supplements, and fasting practice for the past five years. Always had a decent diet but now it's pristine. Wishing i could consult with you in this Function Health journey.
I do not believe in absolute no sugar but of course I eat very little of it for example a piece of cake. I do agree that high amounts of sugar make people sick.
Right up there with the very poor practice of all that sugar in school lunches, is the high-sugar, low quality SAD diet everywhere in the M D Anderson Cancer Clinc. Pathetic. We should speak up about this. I pledge here & now to contact M D Anderson today about that cafeteria.
I'm an MD Anderson cancer patient and I agree wholeheartedly about the crap they sell in the cafeterias. I always go across the walkway to the restaurant on the second floor. They always have a protein I can eat. Good luck and I wish you lots of healing.
I lost 200 lb naturally over 3 years and have kept it off for the last year easily by doing what he says but I have to have a fold it low carb wrap with my breakfast for at least some front end carbohydrates. Net carbs are only five grams or something like that. Is this going to spike me it's loaded with fiber and has five grams protein. Thanks everyone❤
All you need to do is a little research. Make it like 'the effect of adding protein to carbs on Glycemic Index" Don't let people tell you that bread acts the same as sugar. Generally, you will eat bread in combination with other foods. When they measure for the effect of various carbs on blood sugar, they give the carb by itself, not as part of a whole meal. So it's really a little misleading. Even protein will raise your blood sugar. I won't advise you as to the amount of carbs you should eat, but by experience, I find that my energy levels have much improved since I cut down to about 150 g in a day. No good news on the scale yet LOL
Not that hard… are you kidding. Thats so hard. Especially when you work 10+ hours a day. And are trying to survive in this crazy world. I’m not even home before 6pm. How does the normal working class achieve this?
Spend weekends prepping food to store in refrigerator to serve on weekdays. Recommend low fat whole foods plant based diet which doesn't have processed carbs.
I meal prep every Sun (Fri I plan, Sat I shop the food and run other errands and clean, Sun I meal prep when cooking dinner and the rest is family/me time. I still work 60hrs/week.
HELP! For me controlling blood sugar is rocket science😢 No one discusses Type 1 Diabetes....I was diagnosed in 2021 at 47, outta nowhere & no family history. I was doing keto thankfully so I didn't go into DKA. I've since went to a low carb diet but I'm suffering from inflammation, brain fog, insomnia, fatigue, anxiety & more.
My husband has type 1 and I was thinking how this would apply to him. Probably same principles but instead of using a straight simple carb/sugar to bring up a low, using a whole food source (a few figs, etc). He was diagnosed at age 6, I can’t imaging getting such a late in life diagnosis.
I recommend book Mastering Diabetes by Cyrus Khambatta. Cyrus is a type 1 diabetic. He tried low carb diet, but that didn't work for him. He is currently on a low fat whole food plant based diet with good results. Cyrus has a degree in nutrition science and learned that fat increased insulin resistance. He has cut his insulin use by decreasing his fat intake even though he has a large intake of carbs.
My grandkids would rather starve than eat healrhy . Maybe just maybe if you start early in a childs life and eat healthy . Restrict most media content which normally advertises unhealthy eating (:i would not call it food as that equates to nutrition ) you have a slim chance that child may continue to eat healthy into adulthood . I grew up on ding dongs chips and sidapop . Rarely drank water . My teeth got ruined from gum disease . I help coach my sons little league softball team . The snacks given to these young girls is horrific . I call my eating the vegetable matter lifestyle . Its a bit if a sarcastic statement to everyone i know which has eating dysfuncion and poor health practices . Noe surrprising the girls in the team only has one overweight girl but she has trimed up a bit as the season went on . Other teams have girls that are obese but active players that can carry the weight . I guess its all about metabolism and retaining fat . I am techically a outcast . Sometimes a novelty that some shiw some interest in my lifestyle . My age is normally under guessed by a decade or more . My mother of my children says i am thin but i think most of that is we are so use to seeing a full face with fat layered in we consider that more healthy and thin as a more starvation look and unhealthy . I made dramatic changes after getting divorsed , my dog becoming diabetic and getting poor bloodwork back from the clinic . It was transformative . Now i am not vegetarian. I eat fish ( prefer mackerel) chicken and rare occasions beef . I eat outneal before i moutain bike . I enjoy matcha tea and the only add is honey and a good size scoop as my only hidden pleasure from my sugary past . I am a enigma in my universe a oddity that may get some chuckles but i do promote what i do .
I only eat sugar only when I get a craving for a confection, and I always suffer terribly afterwards. I quit it. Today is the 3rd day of the rest of my life. No more confections.
Dear Dr. Sorry this is a little out of context, but I am new and the video you made that attracted me to you was made a decade ago. I have had 'IBS' for over 20 years. It was a crazy time in my life, but from what I can remember, my diet was mostly meat and wheat. I am now plant based for some years and even fast now and then and do not drink and have removed refined sugar (but still a wholemeal bread addict). I think... I have narrowed it down to the Toxin caused by Smithii. I am about to attempt a combination of extended fasting and water kefir and probiotics. But I do not know what to do about my own immune system attacking my proteins.
I had hypoglycemia for a long time as a teen. It took years to figure out that it was actually because i ate too much sugar. For a long time in my early adult life i ate extremely clean and it went away. When i met my husband, my eating habits got bad again, and it came back and i developed pcos. We are both eating much healthier now, but im also starting to go through menopause, and am dealing with painful ovarian cysts. I have screwed myself up and am reaping what ive sown as i get older.

yes, I respect you for taking accountability and responsibility for your actions. Many women (certainly not all) change for the worse during menopause and I've known for a while now that the foods and drinks that many women eat throughout their lives are causing these issues. Consistent bad decisions catch up eventually. Just menopause/infertility in general happens as EARLY as it does for the majority of modern women because of all the poison that females grow up putting in their bodies including all forms of synthetic medications. A baby girl is born with all the eggs she will ever have, but statistically, by the time most females reach the age of 30, they only have less than 5-7% of the eggs they had as children. this is due to all these poisons like processed anti-biotics (anti-life), processed sugars, GMOs, alcohol poisoning, smoking, etc. Some women in the Hunza community in Pakistan can give birth at the age of 90 years up to this day, these women are not superior, they merely live their lives the way they are supposed to live.
Yes, isn't it amazing that you feed kids breakfast laced with sugar, send them off to school on a sugar high, give them lunches and snacks laced with sugar, then expect them to sit quietly and do schoolwork all day and then people are shocked when the school says your kid has ADD/ADHD and the doctor says they have juvenile diabetes and a whole host of other conditions.

Yeah exactly they didn’t eat the processed foods and the vegetable oils so much
Sugar is in so much nowadays. And not just plain sugar, but the overly processed high fructose corn syrup, sucralose, etc. That, along with the seed oils is nasty for your body.
Ever since my husband and I switched to mostly homemade food and cut out most sugar, we feel better, more awake, have more energy, most of my husband's GI issues went away, and my anxiety has mostly disappeared.

Dr. Hyman since I am watching your videos, I am doing whatever you recommend. I trust in everything you say, after 6 months I cheated only once, remembering that you once said we can cheat one day. I am feeling much better. Thank you so much. God bless you.
I'm stealing this from someone who said it 😂 "nothing is as sweet as the way I'm feeling now without all that sugary stuff and PF" ❤
Your books is gifts of life❤️🙏🏼🇬🇷
Anecdotally, I've always been a sugar fiend and I've always had anxiety and depression. The only times I felt in control of my mental health were times I actively cut out added sugar and focused on eating whole, homemade foods. Once I start eating sugar, I find the cravings are intense, my mood changes, and I start sleeping poorly and feeling depressed - all triggering a desire for more sugar for that "uplifting" effect. It's wild. And the amount of sugar in our food supply is absurd.
Mark, I really appreciate you, I've been a follower of your channel for a long time and I've learned a lot from you. But, I must say that "listen to your body" is a very bad advice. I'm hooked on sugar like a mad person, I'd eat a kilo of nutella a day and then cake and then a whole pineapple and repeat. I feel these cravings in my whole body and I'm loving the high. Right now I should listen to the voice of reason instead of my body. My body is fooling me, i don't feel bad side effects from the amount of sugar that I'm eating, i only feel that I want more of it. I'm not even fat, my BMI is normal, probably because I exercise a lot. But metabolically, I'm very sure I'm unhealthy. So, people, you better listen to Mark's podcast and double check with your body ❤😂😉
Thank you, doctor!
We know now that sugary foods are not good, but why people still eat sugar?
Very easy answer: they have no joy,only work ,even they do not sleep enough.
😒 the ultimate truth! Right to the point.
Yep!!!!
They just accept their fate, medications and overeating, which causes all kinds of problems as we know
I quit sugar three years ago and my depression is just as bad as ever.
I went Keto so I lost weight and otherwise feel fantastic. I don’t eat overprocessed food and stick to a whole food diet. I switched to Primal Kitchen products to get rid of sugar and crap oils in salad dressing and ketchup. I quit soda 10 years ago.
Alas, my depression still comes every three years when the meds wear off.
Have you checked your labs? I found that for me, I was not eating enough fat and was severely low on vitamin D. After continuing keto into a more high-fat carnivore while getting enough sleep from 10pm-5am and dosing vitamin D3+k with a minimum of 170g of fat per day, my depression went into remission and has still been in remission without medication for 3+ years.
Interesting. I’ll definitely look into that. I appreciate you taking your time to mention it. Thank you. ❤
SsRIs can be a factor here. I would recommend having your B vitamin, D3, and magnesium monitored. These medications contain fluoride which rob your body of essential nutrients and trace minerals.
Just made an appointment to see a Functional Medicine doctor to get this figured out!
Vitamin D is a big one!
Here in the Philippines there is sugar in canned sardines, mackerel & tuna. Crazy.
Haven't had sugar in 4 months and I still crave it so much. It's in my house and if I walk past it and see it I really want some.
Easy way out of it us whipped cream with allulose :) at least for me
@@annafaltynska105 Unfortunately I'm highly allergic to casein & whey. Recently I've used an avocado, honey goat cheese mixture. It's really very good.
Update on using avocado. Seems I went a bit too fast into eating other things. I can't tolerate oxalates. I was eating whole avocados. Then sweet potatoes (alternating). It was horrible for a few days.
I went to fresh lemon juice in water and I'm fine now.
I rarely eat sugar except in Auguson Farms creamy wheat cereal in winter and I don`t put much in it. I sometimes eat oatmeal that I get in a food pantry bag and add whole milk/butter powder. I`m poor so I mostly eat lightly smoked sardines in olive oil or mustard (I buy at least two 18 pack cases a month), tuna, crackers, nuts, peanut butter and whatever I can grow (I have a vegetable garden 365 days a year and three types of 15 young fruit trees, blackberries, strawberries, ground cherries etc), but sometimes I eat carbs and feel better when I`m very hungry. I make biscuits and don`t buy bread and only eat lard or olive oil. No soda. I use organic raw sugar or blackstrap molasses.
You are awesome which I had land to be able to do that God bless you

You can certainly grow a Dwarf Everbearing Mulberry tree indoors in a 5 gallon bucket under a 24w full spectrum light but wear shades when near the light because in some people it can cause vision problems (they say...I don`t have this problem and the UV has helped my eyesight, so). Start with the following to begin learning: IMPORTANT HOBBY TIP: If you live somewhere where you can`t grow food outside and you would like to grow tomatoes look up Pinocchio or Orange Hat micro tomatoes and the ways people grow them inside. Anyone can do it and there are lots of things that are far easier like various salad green types and things like basil. My Pinocchio orange tomato plants are only 8 inches tall and are absolutely LOADED with clusters of fruit and continuously blooming and it`s very easy to get cuttings and make more. My plants are nearly one year old right now.
@@AngeleAlAahnnAn If you want to try something fun and crazy grow Beit Alpha EDIT: CUCUMBERS indoors in a 5 gallon hydro bucket. You can get bucket lids with grow baskets, nutrients, and clay pebbles online cheap. Get a power strip with a timer and a 24 watt full spectrum LED bulb. You will have success.

Awesome info video been off sugar for 3 years enjoy eating healthy lifestyle thanks
Good day Mark! Thanks for all the info on health you give us!
Do you have any video's on Calsium?
Such important information. Crucial.
I converted to stevia I make keto chocolate mouse with 92 percent cocoa when I fell like something sweet but when I reset my diet from high processed foods to whole foods that was the only way to get rid of my brain wanting sugar , my whole body stopped aching and energy returned sugar is addictive and destroys the microbes in the gut
But a sweet taste triggers dopamine. Similar risk of overeating.
You have to wean yourself off the taste of sweetness by including more bitter foods in your diet.
Your taste buds will renew in a few weeks and sweet food will seem overpoweringly sweet.
A sweet taste also spikes insulin release
Yes for sure I agree with the sweet taste and I am finding gradually I use less and crave less but just saying what works for me , bad eating habits is the hardest to reset especially sugar addiction or high carb eating for years , for me I am ok with stevia only use tiny amounts as ten times sweeter , some people can go cold Turkey and some take years to transition off processed foods and sugar if your are a stressed or unhappy person it can make it harder to wean off , so a healthier sweet taste like stevia would be at least a starting point .
@@qhride1 Yes, I use stevia and ethrytol in small amounts too. A lot of people use them to make regular sweetness desserts.
I make sugar -free mug cakes and mash them up with a sprinkling of stevia.
Those are on my good days when the requirement for sweetness is very low..
Unfortunately, I had some 'low sugar and high fibre' shop biscuits today. I thought I would only have a few after my meal but it was a bit more than that! Still addictive. Blood sugar is raging.
I really appreciate you listing the things we can eat, n eat once in awhile. I’m new to all this so that information is exactly what I need! One thing I know will be impossible-artificial sweeteners. I only use stevia w/my coffee. There’s erythritol in my energy drink too. Oh, n my caffeine free Diet Coke w/lemon wedge every night. I don’t drink alcohol so this is my vice. 🤷🏼♀️
You are amazing! I wish you were located in Israel!! i love listening to you 🙂
I do love sugar but it doesn’t love me. I’ve cut back significantly over the past year and try not to eat it. I sparingly eat a bit of a goody here and there.
Thank you!...
Lots of info but excellent!
❤ Great job as always
Thank you very much, Dr Mark for the invaluable sugar
Invaluable info
A technical note:
The brightness of your videos is too low and needs to be increased.
Thank you.
Village people in Indonesia always use 2 teaspoons of sugar when cooking and they're fine. They don't eat processed food though.
Yes, sounds like they don’t go off the rails, they stick to a small amount. Also if you’re active it should burn it off. I guess our problem is we want more then more.
Does honey count?
What about eggs??? Same as oatmeal???
Did you know that an apple 🍎 no longer have any Magnesium or vitamins, they are loaded with sugar and water.
I eat zero teaspoons per day because I am allergic to cane sugar!
My dear I actually think it’s the vegetable oils and the processed food that makes us sick yes the sugar is bad but it has been with us for a long time so I think it’s a fuel to the processed food
It's both ..Ultraprocessed foods have all kinds of added sugars like high fructose corn syrup, maltodexin, etc as well as seed oils like sunflower, canola, safflower ..all bad

Sugar addict in recovery here 👋. It’s been over 2 yrs and I still struggle at times. I’ve resigned myself to accept that this might be a life long thing that I have to manage. The health benefits that I have experienced by cutting out most sugar far outweigh the occasional struggle.
My husband and I still struggle sometimes too. It's been about three years since we cut out most sugar from our diet. I've found social gatherings are the worst. Most people bring deserts or sugar filled processed foods. It's difficult to say no when you have tons of sugar sitting there.
I think we need a Sugarholics Anonymous group to help people trying to keep sugar consumption low. Lol
@@smania7575as with alcohol, some of us must abstain from sugars - moderation inevitably leads to excess.
@@smania7575 I have found that the most difficult aspect of eating healthy is the social issues. I don't get invited to dinner anymore......
I’ve been trying to quit sugar for 17 days. It’s still a struggle and I’m grateful for this video. I’m also glad that I’m not alone in this. Let’s do this, guys!💪🏼
Don’t eat any sugar substitutes or sweeteners for three days. Whenever you want sugar, eat bacon. Problem solved. Cravings go away.
I am a retired RN. In the hospital I worked I noticed that some of the foods that were given to our diabetic patients had HFC, the first or second ingredient, for example the so called fruit juices, diabetic jellies……. I personally will not buy anything with HFC in it.
What is HFC?
High fructose corn syrup.
I don’t buy HFCS either.
Yes yes yes! I can’t believe what crap the “dieticians” feed us when in hospital when it almost always actually contributes to our poor health condition. I visited a friend of mine in hospital recently and was shocked at the hidden sugars in all “food”. I tried to passively educate my friend, but it was like talking to a brick wall. He clearly is metabolically very unwell.
Hear, hear 🎉
I’m a med surg RN and I was LITERALLY thinking this very thing this morning! I medicate my patients while they eat food provided by the hospital that is slowly killing themI. It’s insanity.
Adults don’t know how to say, “NO!” They give in to children who refuse to eat this or that then cave and let them eat non nutritious food. Schools do the same. Nobody has the guts to change menus or let kids starve if they don’t want to eat. Believe me, they won’t starve.
My children ate homemade soup from the time they could eat. Homemade soup takes 10 minutes to make. And you always have something to eat in fridge!
Home Economics was removed from curriculum back in the day. Nobody is learning how and why food is so important especially with children.
Wake up!
“Below the neck your body can’t tell the difference between a bowl of sugar and a bowl of cornflakes.”
Excellent quote
i fully concur!
Wow
A trumpian quote. He's just the latest scammin' internet doctor using hyperbole to get those views from you anti-vegans.
Sugar should be listed as a carcinogen.
Meanwhile you eat bacon and coffee. And if we tried to label it as dangerous, you'll yell 'FREEDOM' and complain about big government "trying to take meat away"
If in moderation literally nothing will happen
@@diegoheredia1223 You will moderately increase your fat cells.
@@diegoheredia1223No one can do it in moderation. If you look at how many grams are actually in one serving of something, that one serving already isn't enough to satisfy a craving. Most servings aren't one cup (or around I guess 6-8 ounces). No point in bothering to eat something with what is in the parameters of healthiness. This is a major contributor as to why people don't start in the first place to lessen their food intake in any way.

I can't understand why all rational doctors think this guy is a massive quack. They need to think outside their sugary boxes.
They’re haters
They were trained but the drug companies , fact , the drug companies subsidize the medical schools .😐
They hate anything their puny minds can't prove.
It's easy to look good saying sugar is bad. We think he's a quack because he quacks like a duck. See my 7 y/o video exposing his BS.
Most doctors are not rational, they are indoctrinated.
I can totally confirm this. All sorts of small health problems went away almost immediately when I got smart and quit sugar.
I was a high school administrator, and every school day I stood in the lunch room and watched the garbage that the federal government subsidized. I remember asking the lady in charge about the serving requirements. Like a protein, two vegetables, a fruit etc. I remember looking at a lunch one day and saying “I only see one vegetable” in which she replied “no there are two!”. “Right there.” One was green beans she stated and with a straight face she pointed out “catsup” as the other vegetable. Oh a “peanut butter goodie” was considered extra protein. It is protein but really!
All crap 😢
Ikr! Senator Amy Klobuchar fought to get catsup declared a vegetable, and french fries too. So french fries with catsup counts as "two servings of vegetables" in school lunches.
I'd only ever homeschool. The school system is a mess, nutritionally as well as psychologically, and US schools have appallingly low literacy and mathematics proficiency among graduates.
Yeah... we may as well just serve nuts, beans and rice, garden salad, apples, mandarin oranges and water for school lunch. Maybe not too much variation from that.
It was Reagan administration that considered ketchup as vegetable 😢
Back in the late 80s/early 90s we were served prunes as desert lol (Northern California public school). I was the only kid who ate them. 😂

Is there a sugar hierarchy or is it all bad for example cane sugar, honey, or otherwise??
It’s so hard when everyone else around you doesn’t care or believe that sugar is bad. I had to take my mold healing journey pretty much alone. How do meet others who are already avoiding mold, sugar and toxins bc I don’t want to have to convince anyone bc not everyone is ready yet?
Lots of people won't wake up, they're too brainwashed by media, govt, doctors, etc .. just do you and show them by example ❤❤❤
I can relate. If I surround myself with family, I find myself having to explain my way of eating endlessly. It’s exhausting. And they always say, it’s all in my head.
Meanwhile, they are all overweight and have varying degrees of physical and mental health issues like anxiety and insomnia. I’m recovering on my own and I’m okay with that. Take care of you!
I am an emotional eater and what I reach for is 9/10 surgery junk. I am determined to stop this insanity. I feel horrible most days. I have had enough.
Betty you can do this. I was a huge sugar addict! I don't eat sugar of any form anymore, but still consider myself to be one, just like an alcoholic. I would hide candy wrappers in the trash so no one would see them. I'd binge eat sugar all the time. I've been carnivore two years and I've never been happier in my life. I've healed everything. Sugar is not tempting to me anymore, but I know that I can never have one drop or bite because it will bring all those cravings back big time. A cocaine addict can't finally become clean and then say, "Oh, I can just have a little in moderation, or every now and then.". That won't work. I know I'm an addict, so I stay away. Other people can eat it in front of me and it doesn't bother me, I don't want it. But I can never put it in my mouth.
There are ways to overcome these cravings. Carnivores can help you and are a great support community.
Praying for you. 🙏🏻✝️
Long story short: I truly understand. Pray, gently exercise, read the Bible, and don't eat sugar. Journal your feelings instead of eating for them.

Starbucks IS NOT a “sugar dispensary “. It’s a caffeine, empty carbs and sugar dispensary.
WOW That's an issue 🧿🤸🏼🕺🏼👩🏼🌾
Coffee, alone or with a healthy fat can be beneficial
@@mikerudd4943 caffeine is a drug with side-effects. It’s not an essential nutrient. The body needs exactly zero caffeine. It ‘can be’ beneficial if you’re a pilot flying during an emergency and need a pick-me-up. It’s not something anybody should be consuming regularly. It’s beneficial the way nicotine is beneficial for somebody addicted to nicotine. If you don’t take it, you sure feel lousy.
@RC-qf3mp it is not so much the caffeine but the nutrients or natural chemicals. Tea and coffee. I think the most studied ingredient on the planet. Both good and bad results. Depends on the individual. I for one don't "need" it, but I do believe it helps my system. I have gone off of coffee many times and started again when finding out I had (had) NAFLD. I "believe " the coffee was one part of clearing my liver
Well, I'm basically off of white sugar and white flour. My diet changed dramatically to a low sucrose diet after I was diagnosed with sucrose intolerance because I'm not producing sucrace. I've lost another 10# and feel a lot better. I have a special diet and have reduced my stomach issues dramatically.
You should really try milling your own whole grains fresh and making bread from that freshly-milled flour yourself. Bread made this way is NOT like a brick AT ALL. It is super nutrient-dense and can even be light and fluffy, depending on the type of grain you use. Soft white wheat is more fluffy, but even hard red and hard white wheat isn’t anything at all like the so-called “whole grain” bread you can buy in the stores! It’s completely different! And it’s delicious! Actually try it yourself. You’ll never go back.

Whole carbs over 400. FAT 20.

Net carbs are only five grams or something like that. Is this going to spike me it's loaded with fiber and has five grams protein. Thanks everyone❤
All you need to do is a little research. Make it like 'the effect of adding protein to carbs on Glycemic Index" Don't let people tell you that bread acts the same as sugar. Generally, you will eat bread in combination with other foods. When they measure for the effect of various carbs on blood sugar, they give the carb by itself, not as part of a whole meal. So it's really a little misleading. Even protein will raise your blood sugar. I won't advise you as to the amount of carbs you should eat, but by experience, I find that my energy levels have much improved since I cut down to about 150 g in a day. No good news on the scale yet LOL

HELP! For me controlling blood sugar is rocket science😢 No one discusses Type 1 Diabetes....I was diagnosed in 2021 at 47, outta nowhere & no family history. I was doing keto thankfully so I didn't go into DKA. I've since went to a low carb diet but I'm suffering from inflammation, brain fog, insomnia, fatigue, anxiety & more.
My husband has type 1 and I was thinking how this would apply to him.
Probably same principles but instead of using a straight simple carb/sugar to bring up a low, using a whole food source (a few figs, etc).
He was diagnosed at age 6, I can’t imaging getting such a late in life diagnosis.
A functional nutritionalist can help.
I recommend book Mastering Diabetes by Cyrus Khambatta. Cyrus is a type 1 diabetic. He tried low carb diet, but that didn't work for him. He is currently on a low fat whole food plant based diet with good results. Cyrus has a degree in nutrition science and learned that fat increased insulin resistance. He has cut his insulin use by decreasing his fat intake even though he has a large intake of carbs.
Also, forgot to mention if you start low fat whole food plant based diet you might have to lower your insulin to prevent hypoglycemia.
@the_review_lady_channel its been life changing & extremely difficult
My grandkids would rather starve than eat healrhy . Maybe just maybe if you start early in a childs life and eat healthy . Restrict most media content which normally advertises unhealthy eating (:i would not call it food as that equates to nutrition ) you have a slim chance that child may continue to eat healthy into adulthood . I grew up on ding dongs chips and sidapop . Rarely drank water . My teeth got ruined from gum disease .
I help coach my sons little league softball team . The snacks given to these young girls is horrific . I call my eating the vegetable matter lifestyle . Its a bit if a sarcastic statement to everyone i know which has eating dysfuncion and poor health practices . Noe surrprising the girls in the team only has one overweight girl but she has trimed up a bit as the season went on . Other teams have girls that are obese but active players that can carry the weight . I guess its all about metabolism and retaining fat .
I am techically a outcast . Sometimes a novelty that some shiw some interest in my lifestyle . My age is normally under guessed by a decade or more . My mother of my children says i am thin but i think most of that is we are so use to seeing a full face with fat layered in we consider that more healthy and thin as a more starvation look and unhealthy .
I made dramatic changes after getting divorsed , my dog becoming diabetic and getting poor bloodwork back from the clinic . It was transformative . Now i am not vegetarian. I eat fish ( prefer mackerel) chicken and rare occasions beef . I eat outneal before i moutain bike . I enjoy matcha tea and the only add is honey and a good size scoop as my only hidden pleasure from my sugary past .
I am a enigma in my universe a oddity that may get some chuckles but i do promote what i do .
I only eat sugar only when I get a craving for a confection, and I always suffer terribly afterwards. I quit it. Today is the 3rd day of the rest of my life. No more confections.
Dear Dr. Sorry this is a little out of context, but I am new and the video you made that attracted me to you was made a decade ago.

I am now plant based for some years and even fast now and then and do not drink and have removed refined sugar (but still a wholemeal bread addict).
I think... I have narrowed it down to the Toxin caused by Smithii.
I am about to attempt a combination of extended fasting and water kefir and probiotics.
But I do not know what to do about my own immune system attacking my proteins.
