Hey, nerd family! In this video, we’re going to be talking about how to break sugar addiction and the 7 steps to help you stop eating sugar!
At the end, we will also discuss honey, agave, and artificial sweeteners.
Sugar is a substance extracted from plants like cane and sugar beet which is refined into a white crystalline substance.
Since their effect on the blood stream, insulin, and brain are virtually the same, they are both considered sugar in the context of this video.

Sugars are addictive because they cause a supernatural release of dopamine in the brain.
www.sciencedirect.com/science/...
Dopamine is the primary neurotransmitter involved in addiction.
In fact, multiple studies have now revealed that sugar and sweet rewards can not only substitute to addictive drugs, like cocaine but can even be more rewarding and attractive
www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/2...
www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/arti...
The brain chemistry of those addicted to drugs and those addicted to sugar are virtually identical.
7-Step Process to Breaking Sugar Addiction:
#1. Realize what’s going on with your brain your body, sugar, and flour.
People often stop consuming obvious sugar culprits like sodas and candy bars and trade them for bread and pasta.
As previously discussed, those breads and pastas cause the same problems as sugar.
#2. Understand levels of addiction
Not everyone who drinks becomes an alcoholic.
The same way not everyone who eats dessert becomes a sugar addict.
We are individuals with different brain chemistry and the important thing is recognizing your own personal level of addiction.
If just thinking about giving up sugar seems like a bleak, dark, and unhappy world, understand this is uniquely similar to how addicts feel about substances they abuse. You may be VERY addicted to sugar.
#3. Detox
You need to spend a period of time completely away from sugar and those dopamine spikes to break the addiction.
This will often lead to an initial period of headaches, hormonal fluctuations, and just feeling like poop for a little while.
The detox process can last from anywhere from 3 to 21 days.
However, on the other side of breaking any addiction is a much healthier place.
#4. Become a nutrition label ninja.
Sugar is often hiding in places you don’t expect. Yogurt, pasta sauce, are protein bars often have TONS of added sugar
You need to become a PRO a reading nutrition labels and feel free to check out my older video on the topic.
#5. Balance blood sugar levels by eating balanced meals
During the detox process, you need to focus on having balanced meals to keep your blood sugar levels steady to prevent crashes.
You do this by eating meals that combine protein, fiber, and healthy fats.
Whole egg omelets with lots of veggies, Chicken salads with olive oil dressing, and a grass fed beef stew are great examples of this.
Protein, fiber, and healthy fat at every meal.
#6. Heal you gut
In an interesting study in Switzerland, men who were separated into two group based on chocolate cravings.
www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/...
You do this by eating balanced meals as listed above, avoiding sugar and processed foods, and getting healthy probiotics into your diet.
What about honey and agave nectar?
Because of how the brain works the more you eat sugar, the more you crave.
The more you stimulate supernatural sensations in the brain and taste buds, the more it’s going to want and need.
While these sugars do have mild health benefits, if you are struggling with even a mild sugar addiction, you need to cut these things out.
Sooooo what about artificial sweeteners like Stevia?
While previous correlated evidence told us that artificial sweeteners caused additional sugar cravings and even cancer, better studies have shown us otherwise.
www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/arti...
Randomized double blind studies - aka the gold standard in scientific research - report that artificial sweeteners help us becomes less hungry, consume fewer calories, and don’t stimulate additional sugar consumption.
www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/2...
www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/2...
www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1...
www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/2...
www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/2...
The conclusion on the research as of now points to these sweeteners being ok in mild doses when trying to break a sugar addiction. - Навчання та стиль
In conclusion: sugar is a family friendly version of cocaine
Basically
If you crush it, it even look the same
Nol! 😍
what do I drink my coffee with?
Exactly why I wanna stop eatting it but it’s so hard . It’s an addiction as bad as cocaine 😭
It's so hard when sugar is in EVERYTHING these days.
that’s why you have to make your own food, and sometimes it’s very boring, but there are also healthy places everywhere
bixozgang yeah I just wish it was easier. I’m 14 so I can’t grocery shop, and I’m not usually able to cook.
FRRR, EVERY FOOD NOW HAS A SUGAR LIKE 😭
There are organic grogery stores
It's actually easy. Only buy single ingredient food. That's it.
I’ll start these steps once I finish my cake.
😂💀
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
bobby elmi
Oh same
Rinse and repeat
bobby elmi 😂am eating chocklate.
How am I supposed to break my sugar addiction if my mom constantly buys it and it’s all over my house?
Edit: my mom recently passed away and I live with my dad and he never even buys food so it’s not a problem for me anymore. I actually crave fruit and veggies since I don’t eat very often. (I’m only a kid)
So relatable I have the same issue! ;-;
Amethyst Zonruiter I do the same thing and have the same problem when I start to run out of things. But then I *have* to eat the bad things because if not, I get in trouble cuz my parents say I eat “too healthy” and that the processed foods are good for my body. Whack. I didn’t mean to get so off topic I’m just mad about that cuz I can never get rid of this acne or lose fat without being shamed for it 😂
@@stepht3343 same issue here... so sad
Extreme ownership. Check out Jocko Willink for more.
Your mom can't help it, she herself is a addict. A sugar addict does your grocery shopping
My name is Izaac and I'm addicted to sugar.
Hi Izaac
Hi Izaac
Hi Izaac
Izaac Wopz Hi Izaac
hi! me too
I am currently fighting this addiction, which keeps winning. Am I the only one.
Vivienne Coley I know the feeling. Right nowI have a headache from giving up the bakery goods. Harris Teeter markdowns can stay right there I gotta get this sugar addiction under control!
Ace2Much, I fall prey to the muffins and coffee with sweetened milk once more. I was losing my mind.
Vivienne Coley DONT GIVE UP!!! Cut down *slowly* . if you eat a lot for sugary food on a daily basis it is very difficult to change your whole diet, so do it slowly
MrBricks47 Agreed... sugar detox isnt easy!
Vivienne Coley 😎We will win!
i've always ate insane amounts of sugar but for the past 3 months i ate NOTHING but sugar. and i mean NOTHING. BUT. SUGAR. i gained way too much weight and decided to detox. first i told my mom not to buy any sugar when grocery shopping. it worked. then, when i go out, i don't bring any money with myself because i know i'll spend it on food. that worked too. now i'm 2 weeks clean and it has been HARD. i've had some serious headaches but i feel like it's getting better. i'm really proud of myself. also, after about 10 days you will stop craving sweets that much and it'll be easier to detox after that.
That's so impressive. Can I ask did you give up bread and things too? And did you still have things that cut our all sugar or reduced the levels?
Does these headaches go away and how long will it take them to go away?
Yup many people find that the longer you go without sugar the less you’ll start wanting it
@@theresapowell3869 they go away
Congrats bro, u still going without sugar after 2 years?
Thinking about giving up sugar truly do seems like a dark unhappy world 🥵
actually tends to be a happier and shinny world
I think you just have to go without it for a while to rid yourself of the addiction, then you can have it in small servings without wanting too much after the 3-21 days.
It is
Not really
@Hannah Papernick-Yudin educate urself and you will find out it is absolutely worth it
I used to be able to finish a whole chocolate bar with minimal guilt, but now I haven't touched added sugar for almost two months. Beyond proud.
Kayla great job!!! I can't wait to be on the same track!
Kayla
wooooow.... i can't even cut it for 20 min :'(
salma سلمى Buy made with stevia or other healthy sweeteners. Just avoid processed sugar
God First
i just finished eating some pancakes and a piece of chocolate cake 😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭 i caan't cut it im always craving for sugar 😭😭😭😭 im an addict 😢😢😢😭😭😭
The problem is that i am able to finish 2-3 chocolate bars with minimum guilt ..
When I stopped eating sugary foods for a while, a few months if not over a year, sugar didn't taste the same and those sugary foods tasted worse than ever before
Love it Gary, thank you for sharing your story.
eating clean for one year , now jojo effect , cheat day into cheat week into cheat monghts ,- sugar is the best . 30 kg back on my body
Gary Liseo Jr same I stayed away for 8 months and another period I stayed away for over a year maybe a year and a half if I remember, anyway just like you, sugars didn't seem as addicting, sodas especially seemed the least addicting and I drink a can of soda once every couple of months
Gary Liseo Jr I once stayed away from soda for 2 months and when i finally decided it was ok to drink a can of coca cola, it was absolutely amazing.
Gary Liseo Jr k
1- Realize what’s going on with your body(don’t switch to similar problems (carbs))
2 - Your personal type of addiction
3 - Detox ( headaches/mood swings 3-21 days)
4 - Read the labels
5 - Eat real balanced meals
6 - Heal your gut (bacteria in gut affects mood)
7 - Substitute with other sugars (unless detoxing)
I am so addictive. Right now we didn't have anything sugary at home and my mother didn't let me to buy anything. Right know I am crying because I need something SWEET!!!!!! I am literally having a crisis
Justtamara literally me
You should be thanking your mom. Out of sight, out of mind
Dude one time I was literally eating pure honey, straight from the bottle. We bought a bottle because we were trying to use it instead of sugar, because it’s healthier... it was gone in a week bc of me. Now I look back and the thought of that makes me throw up.
@@mistyfox2078 I remember eating pure sugar... like with a spoon lol. I was completely nuts. Not that I'm not eating any sugar now but it has def gotten better. Tho I did kinda spiral into an ED but oh well lol
@@mistyfox2078 did you cut it out cold turkey to stop?? pls answer i need help
I broke what I call my added sugar addiction by slowly transitioning to healthy snacks that such as fruit and other natural whole foods and overtime I lost my addiction to candy, pop, and junk food. By doing this I lost almost 50 pounds in a matter of months and I have kept off the weight for over 18 months and in fact on the 1st of January 2018 will be my second year of going clean.
Congratulations, I hope I get unaddicted from this to 😂
I've given up added sugar for two weeks and have been on a strict paleo diet prior to that and I haven't lost any weight. All I eat it whole foods. 🤷
Congratulations! I’m jealous.
@@lockergr Can you give an example of your daily diet?
Gloria Girgis I follow the AIP (Autoimmune Paleo Diet). Basically you avoid grains, dairy and processed foods, along with any foods that cause inflammation, like nightshades. But I reckon I probably eat too much oil or foods cooked with oil... or I'm just eating too much overall.
I work as a pastry chef in that case. according to this video I am a drug dealer I make No Apologies at all
I need a fix!
You are a drug dealer literally
It wasn't ur fault but it's true sugar is more worst den a drug....it's difficult to leave dis drug called sugar...and u r indirectly luring people towards it.
Bhavika Aswani It's difficult to get rid of this drug because, you know, it's difficult to not eating, like it's difficult to not drinking water or breathing. It's difficult to not live. Because sugar, flour, etc. is food, food is necessary to live. Cocaine is not food. So calling some type of food worse then cocaine is stupid. Eating too much sugar is bad. Drinking too much water is bad. Eating too many fruits is bad. But it's stupid to say that food cause addiction like a drug.
K Marx Food especialy processed food (that is engineered ti buy more more more) causes addiction ... sugar cuses addiction ... stop eating sugar and see what happens ....it's exact as quiting any other addiction headache etc etc
The background music is really distracting
I'm having flashbacks of me eating 1L of ice-cream...
I haven't eaten sugar in 3 weeks! my sugar addiction is broken :) I don't even feel like eating it anymore. It's taken a lot of willpower... trust me
Awesome!
HonkYourChomp Good for you. Not easy at all.
Teamogetudn
You feel moody and emotional at first.
Wow. How did you do it?!
"Bread and pasta have the same negative affects."
Me: DANG IT!
Jack Myhre soo it’s totally okay if I eat whole wheat pasta right?
My parents would kill me if I stop eating bread and pastas
There are. Also healthy breads. Like fruit and candies
Like whole wheat bread,pastas and sourdough bread ect
@@lailael1459 yes, make sure the first ingredient on the bread or pasta is whole wheat
Can you do a video on how a woman's menstrual cycle impacts her body and how to healthily navigate through the different cravings and stages please?
It would be a huge help as we as women don't really get guidance for that. It is either eat what your cravings want to feel human or try and resist and feel horrible.
Thank you so much 😊
Eat sugary snacks once a month is ok but it would be better to snacking a whole sweet fruit
@@aiyulee6366 Thank you☺
Don’t know why I’m watching this I have no intention of breaking my sugar addiction. 🤷🏻♀️
Laura well u should hahah
Do you also know sugar feeds cancer and can cause it as well.
@@crystalsanders4334 wait... WHAT! Thats might be why my mum thinks I have cancer...
Same! I'm down to cut it down, not cut it out
@@adriandaniels1 to stop the addiction, you have to cut it out for about 2 weeks or however long it takes you, then you can have it in moderation and you won't crave it as much anyway
I really want to break my sugar addiction. im so unhappy about it. I hide it from people. no one knows how bad it is.
Have you watched 'the bitter truth'. Very inspiring. And remember, although it's really hard to start with, it gets easier with time; usually after about three weeks. Good luck.
yummyjackalmeat please know that you CAN break it. and it might be easier for you if you have a friend to do it with you, that way you can support each other. the first step is to NOT BUY SUGARS. sounds easy and simple but if it is not in your house, you can't eat it. maybe try drinking a herbal tea every time you want some candy. if you still want candy afterwards, have one piece of fruit, at least it is natural sugar. you can do this!! 🤗🤗
yummyjackalmeat I did a detox with my sister! that was really helpfull.. she didnt let me cheat or quit :)
I'm sorry it's such a struggle, I suppose all I can say is you need to speak to a doctor/professional because you are clearly aware that you have a real problem. I know it's easier said than done, but is there something you could do/have as an alternative like no sugar sweets or fruit? You said that you have to walk for an hour to buy chocolate.... so you can at least go SOME small time without having it. Have you thought about maybe going away to visit family/friends in another place to take you out of the situation? Maybe you could explain that you are trying to deal with sugar addiction and you want to have NO ACCESS to sugar/sweets for a few days to try and break the cycle? I think you need to build a support network to try and deal with this because otherwise you might end up with health problems like diabetes etc etc. Good luck!! :) :)
R. Brooks 3 weeks shit it's been 3 days for me
There is sugar in like everything
As long as its under 1 gram its OK I wouldn't beat myself up eating exactly no sugar what do you think are in fruits to much fruit would make you gain weight if not in moderation
Chelss xo I guess we shouldn't eat anything lol, when I go grocery shopping I stay to the outside edge, everything on the inside is what I consider processed.
Chelss xo fr
I know right!
If its less than 15g of sugar per 100g it is fine, but if it is more it isn't healthy
An addition to #6.
There have been studies that have shown that the gut has a direct link to the brain. Because of this connection, microbes in your gut can make you crave certain foods. The way to change these cravings is changing what microbes call you home. You crave sugar because the microbes rely on sugar to survive. If you start eating lots of fiber, you will starve the sugar loving bacteria and promote the growth of fiber loving microbes. The healthy beneficial microbes we often talk about often consume fiber as their main source of food. Because you have a lot of fiber loving bacteria, they will make you crave fiber rich foods like leafy greens.
I’m actually German , and this video is already pretty old but ...I was really interested what sugar causes and how to break the addiction, after all the video was amazing and I learned a lot! You put a lot of effort into these kinds of videos and I appreciate and also hope that the other viewers do as well ! Keep up the awesome job
Smoothies really help the cravings for sugar. Fruit in general is a good substitute. When you get the craving just have an apple, banana, berries, etc. Best advice is to not buy the bad food in the first place. You can't eat it if it's not in your cupboard/fridge.
if u get bloated from.these tho its no point
no fiber in smoothies!
Jørgen Jømne lol how is that even possible if all fruit ends up getting chewed up in your mouth anyways?
Roisin Kelly Fiber lowers the speed of absorption of the sugar by the intestine. Without fiber you end up with too much sugar in the blood just like any sweet.
Bananas isn't the best fruit to eat
Whenever I see a c written on this channel it always looks like an opening bracket
I was searching for comment like this lol
Oh yeah, it does
Exactly!
Sameeee
Elle Jones omg dame
Super interested in the science behind artificial sweeteners. My 7 year old daughter has a tic disorder, and sugar is a HUGE trigger. We tried sugar free options in moderation, but it still has the same effect. She loves carbs, but we're careful to not let her eat them for every meal, which is harder than it sounds when dealing with a 7 year old.
How is your daughters sugar addiction or cure going?
The brain dragging itself towards a piece of candy is stuck in my mind whenever I look at sweets now.
so this is my second day of sugar free and i cant stop thinking about cookies or cake, this is h a r d.
Sugar is my enemy. After a salty meal, I crave a sugary dessert. Bad habit I have to break.
You got this :)
Yourebasicbye
You can have Dates, it's healthy too.
Clean & Sober 30 + years, decided for health reasons to go sugar/carb free. Started 5/31/19, stomach & headaches often, Knowing detox takes a few days! ODAAT THANKYOU FOR THIS VIDEO!!! Jeff
Fruit and other sugar alternatives just don’t satisfy me the same though :(
Me neither. Eating an apple in place of cake doesn't make me crave cake any less
It's because sugar itself is not that addictive. Sugar is addictive WITH fat together. The most addictive desserts, chocolate bars, donuts etc. contain a high amount of sugar AND fat. And this rule goes also for salty foods with high carbs and fat like cheesy pastas, lassagne etc.
I know its bad advice but it works for me lol.. i replaced my sugar and caffeine addiction with a different healthier one. Going to the gym and not quite giving up caffeine to avoid headaches.. taking pre workout. has no sugar but lots of caffeine. I've lost a bunch of weight cutting sugar and caffeinated soda out.
im so into sweets that my mom hides them from me lowkey
That is generally very concerning
Does she buy the sweets? Whoever is buying the sweets needs to be sweet and stop it.
pickels are basiclly nipples i eat whole packs of reeses cups in one sitting and feel miserable afterwards
pickels are basiclly nipples i beg my mom to hide them from me

i live in italy and i can't stop to eat pasta and bread... my family will kill me xD
Michael Ordnas try to eat wholegrain products if possible
Japanese have one of the longest life spans because they eat a lot of fish and drink green tea, both of which have a lot of antioxidants.
White people have to care and eat healthy, because we are the greatest race, but we are minority, we must secure the existence of our people and a future for white children.
I read your first paragraph and was going yo address your logical flaw, but then I read your second paragraph and realized you're just a poor little dunce :´(
Mailen Rico Haha
When my type II diabetic sister visits her boyfriend in Italy her blood sugar gets more manageable. We think its because food bought in Italy has is less processed and contains less hidden sugar. She says that she eats pasta at every meal when she's there.
For those of you struggling with fighting the cravings, I HIGHLY recommend fresh organically grown Green Grapes. When freshly storebought, they are so crunchy, juicy, watery, and naturally have a mild sweetness that really helps quell the cravings! I have small intestine issues that are exacerbated by sugar, and having a handful of grapes first thing in the morning or late at night has truly helped me suppress the desire to have a setback with cookies and other sweets. Good luck! You are all stronger than you know!
“U need to detox and get away from sugar”
My whole snack area: We don’t do that here
Sugar does nothing but just destroy us within
i literally had sweattarts in my hand when I found this on the trending page
BrickTsar Toys same except I was drinking sweet fruit punch
BrickTsar Toys i had marshmallows
BrickTsar Toys I was holding a dog... Do dogs contain sugar?
Ice cream sandwich for me
Sweat tarts? Sounds salty
I have tried every street drugs and I couldn't understand why people get addicted. Yet i am not able to abandon sugars. Let's hope that after following your instructions i can
never thought that quitting sugar would be so hard
i’m pretty sure that its easier to quit smoking honestly
I can totally do this. Pop-Tarts are a fruit, right?
I wish Dave, I wish. ):
The Health Nerd 😂
The one thing I'm not giving up is my coffee drink every morning. Its the kind that comes in a powder and you mix it with hot milk. I love it. It gets me out of bed in the morning. I'm going to see if I can get the results I want while having only one cup of it a day (I usually have 2 with 3 to 4 sweet treats throughout the day). If I can't, then eff-it, I'll give up that too and live in truly bleek dark world. Screw energy and health, my greatest joy in life is good food. But, I will cut back.
Dave 😂
Aurora Opel omblob 😞 like young as in like 60 or young as in like 35??
I haven't drank a full sugar soda in over a decade a few months back I tried a sip
and it literally tasted like I was drinking syrup. It was a shock tasting it so sickly sweet. Really made me wonder just how desensitized people are to the taste of sugar since most consume and drink without thinking from an early age.
Thanks for this vid...enjoyed the simplified yet detailed and concise infos...graphics were fun too.
1. Understand how the brain, body, and sugar works
2. Understand levels of addiction
3. Detox
-Spend a period of time away from sugar
-Detoxing can give headaches, hormonal fluctuation and lasts from 3-21 days (it's all worth it in the end)
4. Read nutrition labels for sugar
5. Balanced meals for balanced sugar levels
-Balanced meals should include: protein, healthy fat, and fiber
-Examples: whole egg omeletes with veggies, chicken salad with olive oil dressing, grassfed beef stew
6. Heal your gut
-Eat balanced meals
-Avoid sugar and processed foods
-Consume healthy probiotics
7. Other sugars such as honey, agave nectar are still as bad
-Fruit sugars and artificial sweeteners such as stevia are generally safe to consume
A good flour substitute: oats
(Grind oats in a blender and voila! You have oat flour)
@@gumwarrior actually they aren't because they are whole grains. they are very healthy
@@gumwarrior You cannot compare oats to pasta. You also can't cut out carbs from your life. You need carbs to have energy.
Yea I detoxed number of times before but after few months of feeling good, I always go back to sugar.
So wowowow same. A couple years ago I gave up sugar (
So wowowow Yeah I went 8 months with not a drop! And now I can have a 250ml bottle of maple syrup plus chocolate in a sitting. =-( =-(
OMG you gotta get help for that honey
I've been at it for a month with a couple of cheat days here and there. I'm 152.8 now. It's slow going :(
Aaron Headridge lol!! 146.6 now
The thought of going cold turkey kills me like what’s the point in life without sugar??
Exactly, once in a week having a biscuit or a brownie is ok but sugar has that chaser effect
Trying to remember: eat to live, don’t live to eat.
Tommorow is going to be my first day without sugar and telling my family, they're not supportive as they are concerned if I will pass out and go to the hospital. So for me to do this, it will be a huge relief to me and to my life and not to mention the amount on concentration I would love to have so doing this will be really interesting.
I'm gonna stop eating sugar!
*goes into kitchen and grabs a soda*
Wait i was gonna stop..this is my last sugary thing.

*forgets and grabs a cookie*
I CANT DO IT😩😫
Ah true, so true.

Hi. I’ve been withour sugar for 2 weeks. all i lost was 2 weeks. never doing it again. i need ice cream
okurr I’ve read so many comments of people completely cutting out sugar. Don’t cut it out or you’ll be bloody miserable. Have things in moderation and you’ll build a healthy relationship with your diet.

I am doing keto two weeks now and finally broke my sugar addiction!
Love it. I know quite a few people who find success using keto.
The Health Nerd what is Keto, please help I am.atthe very edge of sugar addiction I feel bad and miserable if I don't eat it, idiotic and emotional
You should be aware though when you recommendate keto that it can result adrenal and thyroid issues. In my local thyroid group there is bunch of people who ended up with serious problems with both areas because of keto diet.
Tihana Škrinjarić good for you I'm not being sarcastic
Virpukka What sort of thyroid issues? I already have thyroid problems that I was born with, what more harm can Keto do?
Hi i would love to do the course but i am a high school student with a very tight budget , you are the first geniune person i ahve ever found to guide me properly, i know we first need to start wiht a detox but have no idea for diet plan and exercises. I tried weight loss few years back and instead gained more , thats why i stopped going to the gym and feared gaining more weight and getting all info needed, thnak you though for your very informational vids will try my best ans try new diets
Loved your video, 6 days clean of sugar and wheat, wish me luck.
i watched this video about a year ago seeking for guidance because i had a terrible addiction to sugary foods. i stuck to eating more of a balanced diet and ate A LOT of fruit. Overtime I started eating less and less fruit and more nutritional foods. Lost 30 lbs. thanks for making these kinds of videos, they do make a difference.
Down 40lbs from May 2019 until now. Aug 2019 giving up sugar and carbs. Feel amazing and do not even miss it. Your body adapts.

“The Lord is not slow in keeping his promise, as some understand slowness. Instead he is patient with you, not wanting to perish, but everyone to come to repentance.”
2 Peter 3:9 NIV
Matthew 11:28-30 “Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.”
ROMANS 10:9-11 “If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are saved. As Scripture says, “Anyone who believes in him will never be put to shame”
“For the Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost.””
Luke 19:10
God wants us to believe in His One and Only Son, Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior, who died for our sins :D When we truly believe in our hearts that Jesus is the Son of God, who died for our sins so we could have eternal life with God, we are saved, and have life in Jesus Christ 💗
Jesus genuinely loves you, and always waits for you to come to Him 🕊💕
May God bless you all ❤
I’m completely addicted! I feel like I change one addiction for another. Drinking when I was much younger, smoking a few years ago and now sugar!
Same for me quitting sugar is harder than smoking
This is going to be so helpful thank u so much ! Would really appreciate if u made a video on healthy dishes or snacks?
I've tried a detox w/ fruit and had to abandon it. It started off ok but I eventually got to where I was eating 20 pieces of fruit a day to get my sugar fix from the fructose. I lost weight at first but then ended up gaining more than I lost. I can go cold turkey, but my brain just shuts down and I can't focus at work which is bad, because I have to do daily problem solving and thousands of mathematical calculations. What I've been doing recently is eating honey roasted nuts, figuring that way at least I'm getting a lot of fiber and protein with the honey. I've only recently accepted that I have a sugar addiction and have probably had it my entire life. It's actually more of a relief than a let-down. Now I can finally start tackling the problem more effectively.
Endymion766 haha I no wat u mean
Drink so much water and hope for the best cus it not bad for ya
The detoxing stage makes you feel like 😥😥😫😧😨🤒😖
Camri Really ?? I have been feeling sluggish.. so I’m assuming my body is detoxing from the sugar.. I was told the Black Seed Oil is good too.. Just this week I also stopped bread and All pasta.. oh boy I hope I make it Three this withdrawal, because my energy is the pits 😫😫..
Camri I woke up like I had a hungover and I felt stupid lol. Been really slugish since. I think I am in the detox stage aswell. Besides im in a huge caloric deficit aswell so its just making me slower and weaker 😣
Awesome video! Starting my journey today!
Me: "Alright, i need to do diet!"
Me 5 seconds later: *Sugar, Spice and Everything Nice! :p*
With chemical X!!
It’s so hard to fix😭
I can live without sugar mostly , but you’ll have to pry my 90% Cacao Dark Chocolate bar from my cold dead hands
(1g per square so the whole bar is only 8g, but sill I can’t live without it)
that's fine.
Dark chocolate has less sugar than milk
This made me laugh, 😂
Same lol
Any Dark chocolate over 60-70% cacao is very healthy with many health benefits!
I get that sugar addiction is similar to being addicted to drugs, but here's my problem with it: with cigarettes for example, you could say "I will never smoke again" and just cut them out of your life (not saying it's easy, but you get what I'm saying), but with food you can't say "I will never eat again" right? And I know what you're thinking: you could just cut the sugar and still eat tons of food, but the issue here is that you still have to think of an affordable meal (that everyone in your household likes), you have to go buy the ingredients (in a store filled with sugary stuff) and you have to prepare your meal before you can eat it. I often eat sugar, because it's just easier to not think about it too much and grab cheap tomato sauce and pasta. I think we often spiral down: we feel tired and depressed, and because of our lack of energy we get something quick and simple to eat. This makes us feel even more tired and depressed and so on... Does anyone else recognise this? Would be nice to hear how you broke out of this habit!
u are very smart and aware of a big problem now adays. For this i give u a Gold Star!
Yes, and while you're paying for your groceries, since they know most people have an addiction to sugar, they make sure to add the most unhealthy things near the cash registers while waiting in line. It might be time to start ordering food online.
lol I went to the store the other day and they had moved the candy aisle right beside the health food. It's by design. If we stay sick, they earn more $$$ when we go to the doctor.
True. But you just have to keep going in the right direction and soon you’ll break through that tired and depressed feeling. I eat sugar because it “makes me feel better.” In reality it makes me feel like shit. I use it as a comfort thing, sadly. Trying to break it ...
Hans Bjorgman ikr!? They do that in my local store! They put energy drinks and donuts and shit near the fruit and veggies and they also put other junk food right near all the cash registers. It’s crazy how the stores stock their stuff
True. Another problem is that many food contain sugar. Avoiding sugar also means avoiding lots of food that you are used to eat often. I live in Turkey, its so hard to avoid sugar because almost everything is made of it.
Literally ate an entire packet of oreos while watching this 🥺🥺
So interesting to listen to this. I am having big internal health issues and need to cleanse my gut. Doctors have laughed when I have said that I am addicted to sugar and white bread. Even now I am thinking of when I can go and get my chocolate fix of the day. Ridiculously, I don't necessarily enjoy it any more. In 2007 I gave up chocolate and did so for 11 years. One small error of eating a cookie that had (unbeknownst to me at the time)chocolate in it and that was that. I understand the process of detox but have willpower failings - this is where I need more help.
HELP ITS 1 AM AND I AM ABOUT TO EAT ALL THE NUTELLA AND CAKE!!! this is no joke i am about to freak out, my dermatologist has banned be from sugars just to see how my skin reacts, but i can't i am litearlly going to cry.
I know it's been eight months but I'd really like to know if you are that cake
Too fantastic to find lmao he probably ate 10 more cakes
Hello Brownie?
Is there a CAKE going to Jupiter to help the STARVING mermaid find a GIANT CHOCOLATE NUT SHIP?
Who said that?
SUGAR 🐦 ?
HAHAHAHA I'M TILTED!!!!!!!!!
eat fruit instead to wean yourself off. you'll still gain weight, but your skin won't suffer as much. My heart goes out to you, it is possible to beat! 🖖
Breath and step away from the fridge, slowwwlyyyy.
I am extremely addicted to sugar. Since 2015 I've had it quite stressful, and so, my solution became food. I've always been addicted to light soda (like Cola Zero and now; Pepsi Max), but it's evolved to the extreme since october 2016 and I feel sluggish, tired and sick every single day because of my sugar addiction. When I try to eat healthier and avoid gluten or carbs (pasta, rice, bread, potatoes) I get physically ill after a short amount of time. It's even worse when I try to stop drinking soda all the time. I get dizzy, feel nausious, I get the worst headache and it feels as if my body won't work. I also get easily distracted and can't focus when I am like this, and I get easily irritated. I know people who have been addicted to drugs of which I'd think would've been worse than just sugar, and I feel as though they were better than me overcoming THEIR addiction, than what I am with my sugar intake. It stresses me out to the extreme, and if I could afford it, I would get a personal trainer and nutritionist to help me out. I actually WISH there were some sort of course or bootcamp where I live to break sugar addiction and overweight and stuff. The fun part is that I'm tall, so I'm not SICKLY overweight just yet, but I HAVE gained over 20 pounds in under a year, which isn't really good. i've gained about 60 pounds in 3 years, but I WAS struggling with depression and eating disorder three years ago, but have had a normal weight until last year. Thanks for this video! Hopefully, I'll get through this and lose weight and be healthy again!
You are never suppose to restrict carbs 100% because it’s the main way to get glucose to your brain UNLESS you are on Keto. It takes a few days for your body to switch from getting energy from carbs into getting it from fat and protein. Just track your macros. There’s tons of macro calculators online. Depending on your weight, you can still have those things as long as the quantity you are having doesn’t derail you.
Also part of the reason cutting carbs would make you gain weight is because you start getting sluggish with no energy from carbohydrates hence your body will not be able to physically preform as much.
Hello guys!
I was on a rice diet 3 months ago, and I avoid using or eating sugar and flour. I wanted to lose weight, and I was 6 kgs lighter than before. First and second day was pretty hard, I felt empty, tiredness and bad mood. After this diet I had more energy, there weren't any mood swings. I'm really sweet tooth but I just didn't crave. My sugar detox lasted 10 days.
Good luck for everyone!❤️❤️❤️
thank you i was looking for these answers, and you helped me a lot!❤❤
21 DAYSSSSS?????!??!?!?!?!?
we can do a new movie called "21 days later"... imagine how many sugar craving zombies haha
Actually 66days
Depends on your body, I’m only 14 so that’s maybe why it took 3 days
@@gianlucamorelli omg yes! finally a man of culture
Good info in this video, when we think of addictions we sometimes forget they don't have to be illicit or illegal drugs, in fact, many times it's substances like sugar that we consume on a daily basis, without even knowing we're addicted. Here's something many of us don't know about how harmful sugar can be. A doctor recently explained to me that sugar is the absolute worst food to consume if you have any form of cancer. He said sugar is the food of choice for cancerous cells and allows cancer to spread more rapidly.
Love this. Ty. I needed to hear the stuff on honey and agave.
I find that drinking tons of water and eating big meals helps get me off of sugar. After a while i find it impossible to drink more than 4oz of soda. Even fruit is too sugary. Stick with no sugar forever!!! But it is okay to have it occasionally, like holidays and celebrations. Foods like pickles and popcorn are what I'd snack on when i want sugar
Hoping this works.
I’m still coming to terms with my stress-eating habits. And I am realizing that I am in fact pretty obsessed with sugary foods when I’m stressed and “feeling hungry.”
I’ve been fighting with stress eating only recently though. So I know I have a long way to go... But the struggles are real. I’m not the kind of person who can actually meditate. And in the hustle and bustle of my schedule, it’s REALLY hard to slow down and breathe for a couple hours. The fact that I get distracted easily doesn’t help either.
I think the reason I eat really is just becuase I channel my stress into my food. The more he better. The sweeter, saltier, or overall unhealthier it is, the more GREAT i feel after eating until my stomach aches and I need to lie down to regroup.
Thanks for the advice! I’ll do my best!
I just helped bring a baby arctic fox into this world.
awesome
Thank you so much for this short and informative video. Breaking sugar addiction is HARD!!
in december 2018, i quit sugar for 2 months. i lost much weight, and felt happier. until i needed to go to a diatist, since i went to the diatist and i did gain weight and got unhappier following the diet she gave me. i went off the diet, now i’m planning to do this again to become happier and healthier mentally and psychically
suggestions: how about the next video you'll made is about loose skin after massive weight lost and how to prevent them.
Ramed Recto Yes! this would be great.
Ok Ramed, I will look into it. This has been requested a few times so it's def on my radar.
Can't really prevent loose skin after a huge weight loss. It's not realistic thinking. You can try to minimize the loose skin as much as possible by loosing weight at a slower pace so the skin has time to tighten in between loosing the weight. But not having loose skin after a big weight loss or even after a smaller weight loss is not possible. It depends a lot in your biology as well. Some will have more loose skin than others, because of genetics.
Ramed Recto you can definitely lose excess skin by fasting as the body heals itself it feeds on excess and unnecessary cells so your skin tightens. Do a bit of research
I really hope my baby artic fox grows up to be healthy and avoids sugars.

I can’t even leave the video I love how the video attracts my attention even though my attention span is negative zero
What an eye opening video!!!
As individuals we need to handle our health crisis on our own. Doctors treat the symptoms not the causes. We begin by using the right foods as medicine.
Great donut is made of,
Flour, and
Sugar
OMG why 😭😭😭
If any of you know how to make donut without those substance let me know pls..
Hendry Ramadhan Look up "keto donuts", they're made with no sugar instead healthy natural sweeteners and healthy flour usually almond or coconut flour.
Hendry Ramadhan skrg udah banyak kok bahan substitusi. bisa pakai sorghum dan glutenfree dan sugarfree ingredients lainnya yg aman. bahkan di Bali ada yg jual donut tanpa refined sugar dan gluten 😉
Hendry Ramadhan eat a vegetarian donut i guess?
Cut a hole in an apple so that it's vaguely doughnut shaped?
thechosenone all donuts are vegetarian. Or atleast, most. Because they're mostly made with vegetable oil as far as I know. So I don't think that's gonna do anything.
Thank you for sharing this video with us ! I’m feeling so motivated rn 🙏🏻💖
If you appreciated this video, you may also want to know that while marketing makes you think brown sugar is more natural than white sugar, the only difference is that brown sugar is turned to white sugar by adding phosphate! And when it comes to gut health, brown and white sugar have similar effects!
Hi, you’re voice is really soothing/pleasant to listen to and this was very informational. I have subbed. That’s all. Thank you✨
Good info. Thanks for the vid. I’m the type of person who has lost weight before for a prolonged period and kept away from sugar and most processed foods. I know I can do it again and am doing it now. Already lost 15 lbs. When I lost my ability to run made it hard to be motivated to eat healthy if that makes any sense. Now I’m 54 and want to curtail heart disease and diabetes etc. Gonna get it done! Wife is in on it too. We’re a team. Thanks again.
Love this! Keep up the good work
Finally our breaking sugar addiction video is ready! Sorry for the delay on this one :( We should (fingers crossed) be back on track for weekly videos. Let's jam about some stuff:
I want to clarify a point made in the video about artificial sweeteners - The data is not conclusive YET. Yes, when breaking a sugar addiction, a moderate amount of stevia is ok to liven bland foods up... But this does not mean you should running an IV of artificial sweeteners into your blood stream.
The negative studies on artificial sweeteners did show some problems with healthy gut bacteria and I am very wary of giving them The Health Nerd stamp of approval.
In summary: If you can break your sugar addiction without them, do it. That being said, a couple packets of stevia a day and you will probably be fine.
Use Stevia over anything else.

Hmmm, now if I can jut get the kids to watch your video on sugar, lol.. God knows they need to.
The Health Nerd
Loved the video, I found it helpful :)
Could you make a video about how to 'tone up' your body or gaining muscle in general?
.
Since ou changed your mind on the subject of Artificial Sweeteners, could you maybe include a comment in the video?
People who only watch your video on sugar addiction and don't read a lot of comments, will not be aware of the dangers of Artificial Sweeterners!
Also, your comment isn't the first one, too - maybe you might want to pin it to the top?
Otherwise I'd recommend your video and the advice you give! Good job!
:)
Annah Jacobson Find a gym and work out.Do it with a friend, it really helps.Do plenty of weight training.Also do some cardio.Get on a treadmill and do a fast mile.

59kg and slight addicted to sugar and carbs
I'll detox myself from sugar and simple carbs (bread, pasta, noodle, etc). I'll come back for the progress!
I appreciate that you used stevia as the example because most folks talk about “artificial sweeteners” and don’t make distinctions between things like aspartame and Stevia. I know that they’re different, obviously, but I’ve heard mixed info about whether or not stevia spikes blood sugar and/or causes cravings. So, thanks!
I'm eating Ice cream while watching this
im craving cookies and cream ice cream rn.
lol
@@tiannawalton3454 same doe
A lot of things mentioned here are the same things people like myself learn when diagnosed with diabetes. Quitting or reducing your sugar/carbs sucks donkey poo, but when your future health and life depend on it you find your way.
However, I personally don’t agree about artificial sweeteners. There still seems to be an ongoing debate about that no matter how many studies are done. And us diabetics are taught that the artificial stuff is processed by our bodies the same way as regular refined sugar and even turbinado or natural cane sugar.
For those who want or need to kick sugar, may the odds forever be in your favor. For those who aren’t ready or don’t want to... have a cookie for me 😊
Thanks for such easy explaining
Great video! The sweeteners bit should be updated given the new research results
I'm here because I just ate a cake and now I feel bloated
Hi, Health Nerd! I have a question for you. I've been hearing from friends and family members that nutritionists in other countries have forbidden them from eating tomatoes, grapes, and cantaloupe during their weight loss journey because they are high in sugar. I found this notion ridiculous, because these fruits pack a ton of nutrients as long as you eat them in moderation - as everything should be eaten in moderation. My question is, are these nutritionists right about these types of fruits?? Could you do a video on different types of fruits and how they affect weight loss?
i am always in a fight with my weight and am a serious sugar addict help me i will try any thing once maybe twice thank you i will be looking forward to hearing and watching for more on sugar addiction pat
This is the first video I saw and I really love it! The animation is simple and cute, the information is really usefull and it motivates you to do it. New sub ❤
