      sugar is bad but stuff taste good with sugar in it, so all brands put sugar in it. you need to look into keto diet and keto deserts. you use erithretol instead of sugar which is a fruit alcohol. and u r good to go. u justneed to make ur own deserts but im pretty sure thereare tons of keto deserts in usa just not in most countries.

    This issue with sugar is that once you have some, it's almost impossible to stop yourself from craving more. I find it MUCH easier to just not eat sugary stuff at all because moderation and sugar really don't work well for me.

      What works for me is intermittent fasting, specifically OMAD. This way I can still have my desserts without the inevitable craving and binges that comes with constant sugar consumption.
      I've been doing OMAD for a year now and every single meal I would have a dessert afterwards without feeling any cravings outside of my eating window.

      Hi Memoria... 🙏 Good luck with your fight. About eating sugar, can you try reducing the consumption amount rather than quitting it totally? The glucose spike or anything physical health related is one thing. Being happy, contented is another. I believe that if, say, you eat a slice of chocolate every 3 days is not much and will not do harm to your health, instead it will make your day. Remember, every 3 days and just a slice of chocolate. Not every day and a whole packet of chocolate bar... Surely, this is just a suggestion!

      @@lehutjomaja1173 Can't speak for him, but I quit most added sugars when going on a cut (lasted ~8 months), and yeah, the differences were tremendous. The main things I found were decrease in hunger/snacking, decrease in stomach problems, and an overall increase in happiness (especially that corelated with eating).
      After researching sugar, I found that a side effect of eating it is an increase in hunger levels, I don't remember the exact details but that was the just of it. This was the reason for less snacking, and eating overall, and led to the increase of joy found in eating as each meal seemed more special as there wasn't the sugary/sweet snacks which, in the context of dopamine levels, outclassed regular meals. As for stomach problems, this is something I struggled on and off with over time, though had a complete end to this once I started no added sugar, probably just because high levels of added sugars are hard on the digestive system as a whole.
      I will say that it was hard to sustain for about the first 2 weeks, but after there was only some occational light temptation, though it was easy to resist.
      That was my experience with this kind of diet

I lost 11lbs in the first 2 weeks. I try to eat more fresh and no processed foods. With groceries getting more and more expensive it's harder on a limited budget. I was able to get off one of my medications and decrease the dose on my blood pressure med. I have more energy and am happier than I've been in ages.

No verdict yet on the joints, but within two days there was a big improvement with bladder health (no more feeling like I'm always on the verge of a UTI). The other big surprise is that all other foods suddenly taste amazing. I am wolfing down bowls of green beans. A smoothie of just frozen pineapple and frozen banana is suddenly 100 times better than any milkshake. I did not expect this.

I also allow fruits and the other thing I've allowed is dark chocolates (nothing less that 90% cacao). Technically yes I'm not having zero sugar but it's drastically lower than any other time in my life. My goal is 1 year. I encourage you all to try.

      Also acquiring a taste for the very dark chocolates took time. The best way I thought about it in comparison was thinking of a really good expensive coffee or a craft beer (things that require an acquired taste). The dark chocolate are the same but once you experiment and find ones you like they are actually delicious and don't taste like dirt anymore. Haha
      When I have a craving for sugar I go and grab a small piece (typically 1 or 2 squares) and that completely satisfies my craving.

    Years ago, when my mother was diagnosed with diabetes, I would take her grocery shopping and she was a serious shopper. We read EVERY label. I was really shocked at some of the "healthy" items that had so much added sugar. Like yogurt! (Some yogurt). My mother was able to control her diabetes through diet, much to the surprise of her doctor and needed medication for less than two months for control. Thanks for reminding me to get back to label reading. I know I am currently heavily addicted to sugar with daily cravings for something sugary!

      I'm diabetic too. (Caught something nasty that almost killed me and scared my liver and left me diabetic.) I'm also severely allergic to soy. There is a large overlap between the two, so it's not much worse than one or the other. Basically, I can have almost anything (except potatoes and rice) but I have to make it myself. Ketchup? I can eat normal ketchup, but it's better if I make a low carb ketchup. Mayo? Same thing.
      What I find is when I make the prerequisite ingredients for everything, instead of buying them from a super market, my food jumps in taste. People keep wanting to come by just to eat my food. The few times I go to a restaurant I'm stunned at how mediocre even a high end restaurant tastes. Making base ingredients really does improve dish taste, surprisingly quite a bit.
      I even bake my own low carb bread (real bread, yeast and gluten, knead and rise, not that fake stuff) and make low carb noodles. For rice I'll make a cauliflower risotto from time to time, but that's about the best I can do. For potatoes there is no substitute.
      For most western dishes, like Italian, French, German, American, I'm covered. I make a killer pizza and lasagna. For most Asian dishes I'll substitute rice with noodles, so like noodle curry for example.
      The trick to spending very little time in the kitchen while having all these wonderful meals is two fold:
      1) Making the prerequisite ingredients in bulk and then freezing it. This is called prepping. When I want a meal I assemble some pre-made ingredients and a meal comes together in 5-15 minutes.
      2) I follow normal non diabetic recipes and just substitute ingredients as needed. I make multiple kinds of low carb sugar that kicks ass flavor wise, I make a few kinds of low carb flour that are pretty good, and I make a low carb milk that tastes like normal whole milk. From there, I can make a low carb bread, noodles, and so on. So just about any dish out there I can make. Sometimes the alternative ingredients taste better than the original.
      I feel like I'm the only person on the planet who does this, but it works well for me. This week I'm making a satay chicken curry, peanut sauce for dip, and naan for eating the curry. I have noodles premade but I'm not sure, I might just go with naan. (That and bagels and meatloaf, and I'm eating out gyro salad bowl, .. not sure what else yet.)

    I completed a 10 day sugar detox diet yesterday and I have to say it is totally mind-blowing how sugar seems to be in EVERYTHING! We have become too dependent on sugar. Leaves me wondering, what would food really taste like without the sugar. I have to admit, the 10 days was difficult at times. The craving for food all day long was crazy. On the positive side, I lost 9 lbs in 12 days - I think that was due to drinking tons of water, especially when I had cravings. Sleep is also very important. With the lost of "fake" energy, I had the urge/need to get to bed earlier - cutting sugar means I would get better sleep, right? hmmm.
    My hat off to you for making it in 30 Days. 10 days was hard. Not sure if I could pull off 30 days. Take away, we learned to eat more healthy. A big plus!

After 8 years sugar free I went to the ubiquitous family gathering with my one sugar free dessert for myself and my Dad as he too is a diabetic. My sister in law had no idea and cut a small chunk of cake and plunked it in front of me. Not wanting to be rude, I ate it then adjusted my insulin accordingly. However about an hour later when I got home I broke out in a horrible rash and within 15 minutes I was fighting for breath. 911 call and a 2 day hospital stay later I was told I'm allergic to sugar.

I have tried over the years to limit junk foods. I cut out soda completely in 2010 but I still snack too much on ice cream and candy at times even though I know it's bad. The more modern Keto diets are great and really help to cut your intake and then manage it. I applaud the younger generation for caring more than my generation and understanding the relationship between diet and health. The old saying "We are what we eat" really should be "We eat what we are" because we crave what our bodies are addicted to. That is what we need to change and this video makes a good case for breaking the cycle. Tip: As for a snack that helps, freeze some grapes. You will eat them slower and they will help with the sugar cravings.

    For my whole life I was eating Candy and chocolate, and every time mom sees me she tell me : do not eat a lot of that because you are ( prone to diabetes ), I never understood what that means, all I knew that it makes you pee alot.
    That one day has come and I started peeing a lot, I was terrified honestly and I started searching about a way to quit eating sugar .. keto diet, I did it and it wasn't the best for me, then I decided my self that I am going to manage the amount of carbs I eat, forgetting about added sugar, forgetting about fast food, forgetting about fake meat, focusing on vegetables and fruits, and umm .. managing dairy ( my weakness i am sorry ) 👉🏼👈🏼, making my own meals and that is a part of human being, you should go MAKE your own food so you are burning calories and moving your body parts, the meal is just a gift for you to yourself because you deserved it, and you all ..
    FORGET ABOUT FAST FOOD, SOFT DRINKS, PIZZA, PASTA, ADDED SUGAR.

    I've been Keto since late January, and I can say I do notice when I have a few extra carbs, that inflammation springs back up in my hands. Depending on how much more I eat, sometimes I feel a little ill. Mentally, I now treat sugars and starches like alcohol, which I have never consumed - as "Poison, not Food", which helps when I want a cookie... it also helps that there are good natural non-sugar sweeteners out there, so I can have a little dark chocolate, or almond flour pancakes, or cheesecake fluff - all sweetened without sugar. But if you get too much of the sweet-tasting stuff, it makes you crave real sugar and also raises your insulin levels since your body thinks its going to have to deal with the real thing. Moderation in everything! I've lost 55 lbs eating fat for my energy source, no bread or potatoes or pasta. It's an adjustment in cooking styles for sure, but the food is actually pretty darn good!

I also used 100% cacao chips to curb my chocolate cravings.

But if you really care about yourself you will fight to take control of your health. The second thing I did is to talk to professional in diabetes with experience in nutrition to follow, I was recommended to follow a program from Dr. Fung a Nephrologist. The program involved Interment fasting & nutrition with more protein & less carbs. For me worked very well. I managed to loose 15 pounds & to feel full without cravings. My blood sugar levels are very good.

    Good to see content like this out there to spread the word about how the food we eat impacts us. There are a number of books and videos from folks who have researched sugar (our corporate past & present as well as medical past and present). It's not an accident that both sugar and alcohol damage the liver and both are poison to our liver. While we can accept small doses, the problem is both are seen publicly as not harmful. As others have noticed, sugar is in everything, which means that we're all getting much more than we need and we're not making a conscious choice about that. It's not evil and the companies aren't evil, but we need to come to terms with what sugar is doing to us and make some intentional choices about how much we consume. I saw some comments about diets as well. Again, plenty of research on the harm of diets on us. What we need is not a new diet, but a new and permanent food lifestyle that we can maintain forever. For those interested in losing weight without diets, you might look into intuitive eating - there are a few sources out there. It might be something that works for you. Thanks for sharing :)

It’s honestly been amazing for me overall but it definitely sucks when you have those cravings. It’s now second nature for me to not have any foods or just deny offers for them. I’d say the worst part has been not being able to enjoy a lot of food with my girlfriend (who I wasn’t with when I started this whole thing).
    To anyone who wants to try this: Finding healthy things to snack on is vital.

    I've been watching Dr. Berg's videos on getting off of sugar, so I turned to yours to see a real life attempt. I know I eat way too much of it, especially in my coffee to start the day. For me, I think I will ween myself off, instead of cold turkey. My body and mind will be much happier with me.

    Whoever tries to go sugar-free for 30 days try incorporating IF as well, because it really really helps. I am talking from experience. I am now on day 19 of my sugar-free challenge and I only had a sugar withdrawal on a first day where I had a crazy headache and that’s it. It’s insane how much easier it becomes when you do fasting at the same time. It feels slightly uncomfortable because you have to check every single thing before eating it and yes, I was as surprised when I found out that like 95% of the food has sugar in them

      Yeah i am doing what you did, as well. I.F and no sugar sources. I too, got no headaches, no withdrawls, but did feel tired for a few days and sometimes light headed, but that quickly left when i ate bigger meals. Are you still doing it?

    You don't have to give up salad dressing, just learn to make it. There's nothing to it. Here's the recipe I learned for French dressing when I was a kid: three table spoons of olive oil, two of vinegar (adjust according to preference), a teaspoon of unsweetened mustard, e.g. Dijon, a crushed clove of garlic, salt, pepper.
    I've never in my life bought salad dressing of any kind.

    There’s a pretty big difference between added sugar and things that naturally contain sugar. The yogurt you showed is a good example because it probably didn’t have added sugar in it. Most dairy products contain lactose, which is a sugar. Dairy is just an example, it’s the same principle with many foods. Fruits, grains, etc

      If insulin resistance is the issue we are tackling, meaning when we eat sugar, our insulin rises to handle putting away all the sugar that we ate. It doesn't matter if the sugar came from fruit or pop tarts, insulin will still rise. It doesn't rise less because the sugar is "natural".

    I am at day #4 and had a massive headache today, as well as the tiredness being insane since day #2. It s good to know that those are withdrawal symptoms. That just shows how bad the added sugar is for you. I also cut all highly processed food and simple carbs and keeping complex carbs to a minimum.

    I just did this after getting my left big toe amputated after ignoring my diabetes for years. It was insane the candy and regular soda I was consuming. I can already tell after 2 weeks my mind is way clearer. Sleeping is a struggle yet. Not buying all of that bad stuff will save me money at the grocery store as well.

    I’m trying to take less sugar daily. It’s been 2 months and everybody around me started to notice that i lose some weight and I myself feels more energetic and not easily exhaustedz But i must admit it was so so hard to completely stop taking sugar so what I’d do is take only 1 sweet drink instead of twice or 3 times a day and drink 2 bottle(1L each) a day. Also I completely off caffeine now(I’m a coffee addict before). Wish me luck!

    Four days without sugar and I'm having cravings, watching your video to feel more inspired :) Sugar gets you high, it's really addicted and doesn't do anything good for your body. It's a drug more than a other thing

    I'd love to do this again, the hardest part is getting over the withdrawal period!!
    When I did do this for a few months, I was shocked how unappealing a lot of the processed sugary food started to look....fruit tasted like candy, raw carrots were crazy sweet...it was eye opening how desensitized you can become to sugar when you over do it all the time.
    Sadly, the first time I had cake after months of abstaining, despite it tasting grossly over sugared and not really enjoying the taste....it jump started the cravings again. It took only a few more overtly sweetened foods to become desensitized again. ={

    For me sugar is extremely addicting. I’m also overweight. I’m on day 3 of cutting out processed sugars and I feel amazing! Day 2 was rough I was craving chocolate. But I’ve been good and keeping strong. Also idk if it’s water weight but I’ve been losing a pound a day so that’s exciting. My face bloating has gone down. I’m doing this for 40 days and I might keep going but let’s see how i do!
