Well done Hannah. I too had a terrible addiction to sugar. I live alone ... and I could eat a whole gateaux or tub of ice cream myself. The more sugar I ate ... the more I wanted. I would even wake in the morning thinking about sugary foods after taking sugary snacks to bed with me. I also started to crave alcohol again .... which I had previously given up. How did I overcome this addiction ? 1. I started by trying to encourage myself to ADD healthy foods to my diet - such as BIG salads. Often I couldn't even finish them - so I put the leftovers in the fridge .... and they became my next meal. Then I would batch cook vegetable curries etc. and freeze them. I was still eating sugary foods ... but far less. 2. I then added a lot of fresh fruit to my diet. This lasted about a month .... it really helped me eliminate the sugar from ice cream and deserts - which were my downfall. After a month I then cut down on the high sugar fruit - until it was a sensible amount. My desperate artificial sugar cravings then disappeared. Now I do not long for "something naughty" - even when I eat out. 3. Then I started adding more really healthy food ... and have left pots of nuts, flax seeds etc. around the place - for when I get hungry ..... which I rarely do now. 4. It really is the sugar that increases your appetite ... when you eat 'real food' your appetite diminishes ... and you stop thinking about food all the time. Then you lose weight, your skin improves, your angry outbursts vanish, and your sleep improves.... well it did for me ...and I have only been doing this for 3 months now.
Brilliant, your approach seems to have worked very well for you. Real food is the answer, If I could simplify my whole channel into one sentence, it would probably be - Eat real food. When insulin resistance starts reversing, the cravings really do go away, but you have to be patient and gradual in your approach, as you were. Well done, no more ice cream tubs and gateaux (I've been there). 💚
The way the information is presented in the video is very scientific and easy to understand. Thanks to that, I understand more clearly about the harmful effects of sugar on health and the benefits of giving up sugar. Very useful
I stopped eating sugar and carbs two years ago and have found the exact same things. Now I find 95% chocolate OK when before I found it too bitter. I have a protein and fibre diet and I feel great. Every day I eat whole foods, leafy greens and protein. And my bowel movements and regular and easy.
Fantastic update!Yeah Hanna! 👏🏻 I would totally avoid the rice, if it were me though. Effects me the same as potatoes or white bread. Causes me to gain weight instantly. (Or stop losing.)
I don't eat sugar anymore either, & I have gave that up when I was growing up. I use to eat 3 candy bars a day😢. I learned that plant based foods aren't good for you. But fruits and vegetables are. Grains are wonderful too, because it is fiber for the body. Our body needs fiber, & protein everyday.. I really appreciate you sharing this video. I hope your wife keeps up not eating sugar..
I suggest this for a delicious smoothing: Half a cup of berries, three spoons of Greek yougurt, half a bannana, half an advocado, one and a half spoons of termeric, apple cider vinegar, half a spoon of black pepar and two spoons of cannela. EAVERY DAY
No, Hannah likes her carbs occasionally. Her goal was more about overcoming her sugar addiction last year. She still had a fair bit of rice, occasional bread (not much), but mostly low carb meals in the week. I like to have cauliflower rice personally. 💚
Get off eating anything with vegetable oil and you’ll do far better. Watch out for things cooked in them to Stay away from Canola, Safflower, Soy, Corn, Sunflower, grapeseed, cottonseed and rice bran oils. Fries and salad dressing are full of this stuff
But 'naughty sugary' foods no longer seem 'delicious' any more... it is the healthy stuff that seems 'delicious.' But I am now trying to cut down on cheese ... and that I do miss.
When you remove sugar for a few months, those "delicious foods" seem less appealing, and you actually start to crave things like meat and vegetables. It takes a bit of time for brain chemistry to rebalance that's all. 💚
From one sugar addict to another...Kudos Bravo and Congratulations to Hannah!! A true 🏆 🏆 🏆 champion 👏!!!

I lost 22 lbs removing sugar and eating fruit and vegetables juicing and exercising in one month so a year you can really lose alot more
My wife is a very small person, and she wasn't dieting. 💚

Good job Hannah! Hoping to do the same in 2025!

Excellent !💚

Rice can be a big problem for people, but it definitely helped her in the early months to keep off the refined sugar. 💚
Best treat 🎉🎉❤

That's great, she thanks you for your support. 💚

Do you mean turmeric?
What is cannela?
@@marywaskow1216 Cannelle is the French for cinnamon.
Will try this,i hope😊 i am able to achieve this too
Hi Rayon Enjoy a healthy life with your sweet heart Hanna.Thank u for sharing your ❤ story
💚
I have also found the same as you. I don't find plaque builds up on my teeth.
Did she stopped carb too ? Wheat flour, bread , rice etc?
No, Hannah likes her carbs occasionally. Her goal was more about overcoming her sugar addiction last year. She still had a fair bit of rice, occasional bread (not much), but mostly low carb meals in the week. I like to have cauliflower rice personally. 💚
Hannahhhhhh!!! 🎉❤🎉❤

Fortunately we don't really do vegetable oils in our home, other than EVOO. Most of our food is home cooked, but the sugar was her addiction. 💚
Only 27lbs for one year 😮
Yes, she's a very small person. Was an enormous shift in body composition, and the goal wasn't weight loss just getting over her addiction 💚
You can remove sugar and lose weight but can’t enjoy so many delicious foods
Yes indeed
But 'naughty sugary' foods no longer seem 'delicious' any more... it is the healthy stuff that seems 'delicious.' But I am now trying to cut down on cheese ... and that I do miss.

Unprocessed whole cheese is highly nutritious, so I might suggest not removing that. 💚
@ O thank you ... that is just what I needed to hear ... but in moderation!
