8:55 Understanding A1C and your blood sugar
13:35 Check out my video on diabetes!
Sugar doesn’t just cause weight gain-it has negative effects on almost every part of your body. Today we’re going to talk about how sugar affects your red blood cells.
A1C is a test that measures how much sugar is stuck to your red blood cells. If you have an A1C of 5.7% or less, that would be considered normal. An A1C between 5.7% and 6.4% would be considered prediabetes, and 6.4% or higher would be considered diabetes.
A healthy red blood cell is flexible, and it should be able to free flow and carry oxygen through the body. Sugar lowers the ability of the red blood cells to carry oxygen and reduces the volume of red blood cells.
An unhealthy red blood cell that has sugar stuck to it will be very stiff and sticky. This can cause clots and can cut off blood flow to certain tissues, which can lead to necrosis, gangrene, and infections.
It can also cause problems with the eyes, including diabetic retinopathy, which can lead to blindness. Other areas of the body that are affected are the gums, kidneys, and arteries.
An A1C test is a better test than a blood sugar test, and it can even be done right at home using a home testing kit.
It doesn’t take much sugar to raise your glucose and create a high A1C causing negative effects on your body.
Instead of only trying to treat the symptoms of this issue, start working on your diet. Try cutting out sugar and getting on the Healthy Keto diet, and see how much better you feel.

Thanks for watching! I hope this helps you better understand the effects of sugar on your red blood cells. I’ll see you in the next video.
This doctor has never met me, but he’s had a bigger effect on improving my health than my own Dr.
Is he a doctor?
Went to a gastro nurse. She said that it was normal to have pain in your side and my back. My kidneys are fine even though I have had two doctors tell me I have Stage 1. Change my diet and it's in my mind. I guess that's causing me to throw up and have horrible stomach pain for 12 hours!
@Rather B Fishing, Citrus juice daily will help clense and flush the kidneys. It doesn't take much but do it daily. Lemon, orange, lime, any citrus in water, 💚
@@eklhaft4531 Yes, I believe he is a DC.
Wow, Good👍 for You!!👍 Thank God for honest people
Everyone used to laugh at Jack Lalane a fitness trainer ,he used to talk about the bad effects of sugar in the 1950's he was ahead of his time. We now understand better because of Dr. Berg.
I loved his juice machine lol
I worked at a Jack Lalane in NJ in the 80s. Lol
That’s right! He broke uncommon ground I sure wish he could see what a lifestyle change he started 🏅
@@picaleastart9910 I had one
Lots of people knew sugar was bad for you. I was born in 1953 and my parents rarely had sugar in the house and rarely bought processed food, no white bread etc. Public schools have done an awful job teaching health and providing healthy lunches.
For me, there's only one way to deal with sugar: Avoid it all cost and without exception. A little sugar in the daily diet creates the craving for more sweet stuff and I would end up eating more and more over time. The same goes for substitutes - I just avoid them!
And yes, since the moment I made that decision and put it into action, I have become much more agile, sharp and I am basically never out of breath.
Really??? Do you really notice a difference giving up sugar replacements… Stevia etc.?
@@shilohbreigh3591 sugar replacements make me want to eat more and in the end cause a craving for actual sugar.
Because of that, I can't really distinguish what the isolated effect of sweeteners would be on my body.
Do you ever run up hills?
That’s a good way to get out of breath
Problem is, unless you add the sugar yourself, the western diet is so processed...there is no small amount in food because it is literally in everything!!!! I went keto and I'm mindblown at the amount of sugar in things you'd never even think to look for sugar in.
For me personally, I did have bad sugar cravings the first week I cut it out but just like any addiction, you need to replace it with something better. For instance, monkfruit and erythitol sweeteners aren't like sugar, but they're sweet and don't have the negative effects. Since I'm pretty used to the zero carb sweeteners, I don't actually have the cravings for actual sugar. I wasn't a huge fan of the monkfruit in my coffee,but I tried erythitol and it tastes better but I still will even drink coffee now with no sugar and it doesn't bother me. Then,if you do say drink a 12oz soda..after cutting alot of sugar out, it will throw you off as to HOW sweet it is after a keto reset.
@Ketevan Dalakishvili neither where I grew up nor where I lived most of my life it was common to eat any of this. I don't have to fight any old habits, I just need to avoid picking them up.
I have never lived in the US. Maybe you're right and it would be very hard to keep up my eating habit there.
This is very true. I was pre diabetic a few years ago and I started the ketogenic diet and was able to correct it. However, I was an alcoholic and kept getting terrible kidney infections and felt the tingling, and out of breath and poor eye sight. Today I drink a gallon of water per day, eat a ketogenic diet, exercise and I am 10 months sober. All glory be to God.
Congratulations ❤🎉. I'm 6 months sober.
Congratulations and blessings to you, sister.👍
YES I WAS JUST GOING TO SAY GLORY TO GOD I'm so happy for you that's great
Amen!
CONGRATULATIONS 🎉

Quitting sugar is the hardest thing that I've experienced. I've quitted for about 3 weeks and then went back to it again. Quitting weed, alcohol or tabaco has nothing compared to quitting sugar for me. I'm battling through it. The worse part is that sugar is everywhere. IMO it should be illegal.
Exactly, it is everywhere. They know how addicting it is, so that is why they put it in everything that you do not even expect sugar to be in.
Agreed! These processed food should be illegal! All the chemicals and sugar is killing people. It’s truly chemical
I am addicted... this is my biggest problem now..
I'm 2 days in avoiding sugar and feeling a little better with less brain fog. I'll update after a week.
@@jakubsmejkal3798 I have sugar addiction too. Ive stopped eating and then went back again and again. How do I stop for good?
After day #5 I've been dropping 1.5 lbs a day. No sugar, starches or white flour, or alcohol. Feeling great!
These videos help me so much. I have a sugar addiction causing so many health problems but when I watch these videos I’m able to maintain discipline. I thank you so much.
You're very welcome. Glad you found the videos helpful.

I was done eating any sugary products about 4 years ago but yesterday I ate a salad with crawfish, crab meat and shrimp. The kicker was the honey bourbon salad dressing. It was so sweet to me but my friend found it not that sweet at all but that person isn’t on a sugar free diet. After living keto this long any sugar makes me uncomfortable. Thanks Doc!
Careful consuming "bottom feeders", this includes bugs, pigs, and crustaceans.
Sounds delicious but I know I couldn't eat it. I eat a lot of salads, and as such I have to really watch the dressings. I only use white dressings (ranch, caesar, blue cheese) because those are all fat and incredibly low carbs. I used to drench my salads in catalina/red french dressing. Can't do that anymore.
A bit hard when it’s in absolutely everything
I still eat carbs and sugar but not everyday and when i do things taste extremely sweet too . And sometimes those cravings come back...
@@Dancestar1981 not in natural foods.
Stopped eating sugar five months ago. I have lost 39 pounds. Thanks for your help, Dr. Berg.
Way to go! 🎉
Wow!!! Fantastic keep going!! 💜
Help! I am a sugar addict
@@juststephanie1111 you got this!
@@juststephanie1111 I lost 35 lbs. My advice is find a stevia sweetener you like and slowly use more of that and less of sugary foods to satisfy your sweet tooth. After 2-3 weeks you will be mostly waned off of the sugar. Also eat healthy fats like avocados or nuts to make you feel satisfied and full when you have cravings. Add salads too if you can, I know they're boring at first but the nutrients in them will satisfy mineral deficiencies that often cause us to crave sugary foods. And stay away from foods that turn into sugar quickly in your body, like pasta and white rice...they are just as bad as sugar!
I'm 53 and discovered his videos last night and changed my diet today. Cut out sugar and bread. Had 3 fried eggs for breakfast. For lunch 2 hot dogs with a cup of sauerkraut(the refrigerated kind). For dinner had a romaine and arugula salad with balsamic vinaigrette and a nice piece of salmon. I'm going to do this indefinitely. I've had a history of low energy and more recently some memory loss. I'm hoping this is the fix!
Today I stumbled upon your "stop eating sugar for 2 weeks" video. And I believe you may very well have saved me from a slow, horrible death. I recognized many of my symptoms while you spoke. My mother had a book back when I was a teen called "Sugar Busters". My siblings and I hated it because as a teen, it removed everything we were used to. I got away with consuming tons of sugar in my lifetime. I'm in my early 50" now, and over the last few years it has started to catch up to me. Thank God I happened to see and pick on your video. Just as short as a few hours ago, I consumed 2 room temp bottled waters, and snacked on a big bowl of fresh lettuce. The shakes stopped, my gut discomfort isn't flaring up. I am completely sold. I can't say I'll completely avoid sugar all the time. But I will absolutely make a conscious effort every day from here on out.. Dr. Berg, Thank you for this video!!!

I’m a pharmacist and can say that Eric Berg definitely knows his stuff when it comes to diabetes and diabetic nutrition. Thank you for your wonderful videos, I tell my patients to watch them. Diabetes type 2 is curable through good nutrition, if you are reading this it’s not too late to cure yourself.
Thank you for sharing that
Thank you! Good to know its not to late late for people!!! 💜🙏💜
Your a drug dealer! lol
I cured my on the Carnivore diet, Veggies contain starches and Carbs which converts to sugar... You don't need wither as your liver produces its own sugar/Blood glucose through two processes called Glycogenolysis & Gluconeogenesis
Pearlstar28
Oh I will have to inform two of my friends who recently found out they have diabetes that they can get rid of it if they have good/great nutrition. 😊
I've been sharing what I could with them, but NEVER knew it was curable. Thanks very much!!!🙏❤
P.S. wish my pharmacist was as kind/nice as you and thoughtful...they lose patients/customers right and left because of how hateful and rude she along with the others are to all of us.
I've started taking intermittent fasting very seriously! I've lowered my bp, cholesterol, it's healing my arthritis, and I've lost over 45lbs this year alone! I'm so looking forward to continuing my journey into next year.
God bless you Jacob. You are my inspiration.
How many hours fast u do
Same for me keep fasting
Am a muslim and we usually are recommended to fast Mondays and Thursdays. But intermittent is better.
That's incredible, keep up the great work!
Having spent 67 years enjoying this poison I’m trying so hard to give it up but with your videos I get motivation. Thank you so much Dr Berg. x
This video was so painfully true to watch I had to stopp and take a break because it literally made me sick all over when I realized the depth of the destruction that I and everyone else had done to our bodies and our health. People 20 and 30 need to know this now! I love ❤️ you doctor but I hate the reality u made me face! Thank you so so much!!

The Christmas Holiday Season is when people over consume sugary foods and gain weight. It’s when people’s health decline rapidly.
Capitalism over life. The Sugar Industry know full well the damage sugar does to one’s body & they don’t care. Bottom line $$$.
This is totally true. I was a sugar addict, eating lots of sweets, cakes, cookies, candy bars, drinking only sweet tea, juice or coke every single day and barely drunk water. After watching this 5 days ago, I started to cut down my sugar intake to almost none and I really feel the differences in only 4 days. I am less fatigue and I feel so much better. It's actually hard because I really like to have some snacks and eat unhealthy foods but considering the benefits I have already felt in such short period of time, I will keep this good habit to improve my health. Thanks, Dr. Berg.
It's so hard when you're addicted to sugar..i have up to 24 grma per day 2 yrs ago and cannot get back to that. So hard. Great video. Just what i needed
Cut out out all the things beginning with S, no good! Except one ending with X!...😂
You ate PUFAS, not sugar
@@MM-oj2pf sugar, not pufas. I know what pufas are
Reski Rahab, It has been three months. Are you still off most sugar? Do your joints and muscles feel better, clearer thinking, more energy? Please let us know. Thanks
Dr. Berg, I'm 60 years old and I got off sugar, flour, starches, etc., in mid-February, with only a few, very brief splurges since. Prior to going keto, you cannot believe how much sugar and carbohydrates in general, that I consumed on a daily/weekly basis. I shutter to think about it, because the reality is that I was surely becoming pre-diabetic. Tingling and numbness in my toes and parts of my feet -- it was very scary! Fast-forward to the present, and I can 100% testify that my condition is reversed and I'm well on my way to a much normal -- dare I say healthy -- condition. I'm drinking fresh lemon juice everyday, along with apple cider vinegar, and taking proper vitamins and minerals as well, and the truth is that I feel great. (Still difficult to get enough potassium, though!) I'm sleeping better, have much more energy, headaches (and body aches) are essentially gone and I have lost upward of 20 pounds of body fat. This is a very brief synopsis, but I had a few minutes and wanted to drop you a note to THANK YOU for everything you're doing to improve the health and well-being of people whom you will likely never meet. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!

I realised how bad sugar is when I got diagnosed with epilepsy. As soon as I eat sugar then I get a seizure, it really effects the body and mind.
Sugar is a dehydrator. Water helps me when I swallow my tongue. In case it might help you too.
@@yolandagrabowski6043 epilepsy is a bit more complicated then that. The sugar effects the already unstable electrical signals in the brain for someone who has epilepsy.
But water is always good in general. Can potentially flush out bad stuff faster
I've heard of people having success managing epilepsy with a ketogenic diet.
Fortunately, epilepsy is a dehydration issue.
@@yolandagrabowski6043 its a lot bigger then that mister. Trust me on that one, im the one with the desease.

I almost completely cut out sugar last year. My unnecessary fat went away without any exercise or muscle loss. I felt comparatively more energetic, and my mental state was sharper as well. I am not saying it was solely because of sugar detoxification, but I definitely know it contributed a fair amount.
Muhammad how did you cut out sugar? What was your method? Please share I need a starting block
@@belindadewaal3042 it's easy ,how?--by looking at sugar as the root cause of illnesses ín our bodies so the reason to avoid it.

Holy cow! I've been eating sugar for the past couple of days (which is not usual for me) and as Dr. described I instantly noticed bad eyesight, not having energy while exercising. Amazing! Thank you!
Same man wow this is about to change my mental health and my anxiety I feel so weary all day Eveyday. To many ices man I think something was wrong with me. But I know it’s this !!! I’m so happy I came across this. Real talk
This is only really relevant if you're diabetic tho
I start cutting off added sugar completely from Mon(day 1), it’s now Wed(day 3). Biggest change so far, no pain in joints.
QUESTION: Why is sugar not considered a drug, with all the medical issues related- shouldn’t it be labeled dangerous, rather put in everything???? Please explain
Because its found in nature
@@abawitx opium, cocaine, and Marijuana is too
Profits
It is not considered a drug because it is healthy in moderate amounts. Balanced glucose (a type of sugar) can help with heart disease and other major conditions.
Well, they used to think smoking had no side effects…..
This was an EXCELLENT presentation! One thing I would add is after quitting sugar you no longer crave it. I quit sugar and carbs more than a year ago and lost 140 lbs. What blew my mind was I didn't feel hungry or even crave sweets or bread. It was also nice to have my doctors take me off the medications I was on. I began this at 61. I'm now wearing clothes I put away when I was 30. Keto & Intermittent fasting really works. And it doesn't cost money or require joining a gym.
I agree that the sugar craving goes away but if do eat some at some point it could get bad for at least that meal lol, but I mean sugar not things that turn to sugar, like white rice has never given me a sugar rush like candy bar

The fact that you delivered this so gently (and thank you for that!) makes it no less terrifying. As a person who cannot go a day without consuming sweets multiple times a day, it helps to know just how damaging sugar is, and what exactly it's doing to our bodies on a cellular level. We all have our vices. Mine is that I'm addicted to sugar. I'm at a completely healthy weight, too, and that can give me a false sense of security to eat however much sugar I want. I'm trying to scare myself away from sugar. But it's so hard. Even knowing how destructive it is, I eat it. I've heard it said that a sugar addiction is akin to being addicted to cocaine. I wish I could break the addiction. I've looked up all the tips and tricks to quit, and nothing helps. Ugh
I can relate…I’m on a chocolate fast in the hopes of it empowering me to ween myself from sugar. I’m on the right path and I wish you well 🙏🏻
felt that fr fr… im a perfect weight but it’s effecting my energy at work
Nothing works better than making your mind up n go cold turkey. After you stop for awhile n see how much better your body feels you'll see how much it was damaging you. Best of luck
You might have to attend Sugarholics Anonymous.
I used to be like this you just have to embrace that it’s gonna be really fucking hard and take like a week or two off doing anything for the detox where you’ll feel really bad like you have a bad flu and crave it like youre detoxing from drugs. But once you get past that you feel amazing clear energised and literally dont even get hungry much let alone crave sweets. It helps to look at the impulse that makes you want the sweets, for me it was a mental health thing seeking a hit of dopamine cuz i dont have enough in my brain chemistry. If you’re similar you’ll still feel that impulse but you can get it from elsewhere like other feel good things
In 2020 I was told I was diabetic and had a A1C result of 6.7. I immediately went on a no sugar no carbs no starchy vegetables. And begin working out. In 3 months I took an A1C test and it was 4.9.
Dr. Berg: I stopped added sugars 2 months ago due to your explanations. My life has changed ever since. I don't ever feel laggy or lazy. My skin looks amazing without the need of cleansers or creams. Don't even get me started on how much my body shape has improved. Thank you very much for such clear and moving lessons.
Good for you- well done! Read Plant Paradox next.
And can you tell is what you eat every day?
It’s amazing isn’t it ?
Yep. Sugar breaks down the collagen in our skin, so the skin improves when we cut out all those sugary “treats”.
I’m 56…. I just tell people I’m 49… nobody questions that 😁
Then you start to wish you could get others to stop also.
@@Petesworkshop2225 That's the part I am not very good at. Years of conditioning is hard to undo. Billions have invested in ads and commercials selling toxic junk. People are use to eating it. It threatens them like taking food away from a hungry bear. Many need to get sick before they see the light or even care to change.
Four weeks ago yesterday, after finding and watching some of Dr. Berg's videos on UA-cam, I cut off my sugar intake entirely and drastically lowered my carbs. I recently had to dig out an old belt from the chest of drawers to keep my Levis up, so I stepped onto the scales and found out I had lost more than ten pounds.

I have not already ate sugar for 2 months .After 7 days I felt my face changed.Before eating sugar my face was fat.After 40 days I didn't find any acne and also my face got slim.Thank you dr.Berg for useful information .
Is it true? Slim face
May i know what kind of sugar you cut out? Fruits or carbohydrates or ?
@@naveenkholi8549 Its definitely true. If you consumed a lot of sweets, starch etc and abandon it then your face will have a leaner shape.
@@naveenkholi8549 yes definitely.. i thought i had a round face but i just consumed too much sugar. When i cut it out, my face got less puffer and way slimmer. Now i do binge on so muvh sweets & i realize that my face gets puffier everytime. & when i cut it off, it foes back to normal
wait, fruits have sugar. I eat lots of it especially bananas. Should I stop eating fruits then?
Diabetes put my grandmother in the hospital many times where she eventually passed away due to complications. Fast forward ten years- at 20 yrs old I quit sugar for only 3 months and felt AMAZING. Could absolutely feel the difference in my blood stream (felt crazy saying that at the time... Before knowing the actual effect it does have) Relapsed on a bag of Hershey chocolate I BOUGHT FOR A FRIEND Lol.
Now at 29- Thank God for this Doctor and channel ❤️
Ppl tend to crave/eat sugar the most when we're in need of a little love... So.... If you decide to quit... I recommend to please increase self care😘 and intermittent fasting
It helps
We can do it 🙌🙌
Same thing happened with my grandma! Even though she was in and out of the hospital when I was growing up, it was an absolute shock when she passed away in the hospital at 57. It was traumatizing.
Did you quit fruit also
Also for people doing "dirty keto", many don't realize how much sugar (in various forms) they are getting from processed meats, etc. You have to read labels carefully, as my cousin does what he calls dirty keto, but eats hot dogs, packaged luncheon meats, Spam, imitation crab meat, American Cheese, etc, which all have tons of bad additives including various forms of sugar. Making the extra effort to eat only whole, natural foods with no additives is a must!

I stopped having sugar for 5 days and counting, determined to loose weight
Update: I went from 88.8kg to 79.6kg within only 2 months and 10 days. Here is what I did:
1) strictly to sugar, not with tea, I used zero cal substitute.
2) No rice consumption at night, cucumber, vegetables and chicken breast at night.
3) At lunch, two cups of rice and vegetables. Sometimes fish, but made sure to eat vegetables first.
4) When hungry I ate peanuts, apples. Stayed way from fruit juice, or any carbohydrate type food such as potatoes, bread etc.
5) No junk food! No soft drinks, no pizza, no cheat days.
6) I go to the gym, do weight training and heat cardio.

@Simro fruits have sugar
You can do it !! Need to detox off it like i did !!!!
Don’t look around those corners. Sugar was the only substance I’ve ever been addicted too. You got to have self control
@Simro There are also fruits we should avoid.. I love mangoes but I recently found out it contains too much sugar..boh

Its about 6 months i left sugar and my life changed dramatically
In which way?

Dr Berg Thank You, I'm 5 weeks no added sugar. I used to have 14-20 tsp in tea a day. Bad headaches at first, great now🙌
Wonderful! Keep up the good work!
Hello Dr Berg, thank you for this video. I am taking on your challenge today and cutting out the sugar, for three weeks. I live in Holland and I live a reasonably healthy life, an average hike is no less than 6 miles, and sometimes I swim in ice water. In the morning I do a combo of stretching and QiGong and reps, in summer I hike the Alps or the mountainous terrain in Norway. I also intermittent fast regularly, sometimes till six pm. Sometimes when I'm bored I find myself grabbing sweets or a candy bar at work, it's a sort of frustration really. I'm looking for a reward in the middle of the day because I work hard. I need to get back to that stoic self I was in my twenties. It was a strong mindset, a good mental attitude. Even now I think I qualify as above average healthy and still I could do better. I'm fifty now and I want to avert any chance of ever getting cancer, and I'd like to continue to have strong eye sight. Your videos are very informative and well spoken and interesting. Every since I discovered IF in 2016 I have been watching your videos and you're been a tremendous inspiration, so thank you for this challenge! Best wishes from Holland.
I cut sugar a long time ago... Every once in a while someone cons me into eating something high in sugar... I feel like crap for a day or two after. Low energy , etc etc. Thanks Dr Berg... nice to have a more in-depth understanding of the underlying total system. Keep up the great work!
I'm blind in one eye and suffer from blood clots because this info wasn't available,and through all of it none of my doctors or surgeons never said anything about sugars impact on blood cells.This info is on so on point
Because most doctors aren't worth a damn and only care about kickbacks from peddling drugs you don't need by big pharmaceutical companies.
They don't want to cure you. They just want to treat your symptoms, because it's job security for them.
Best wishes🙏🏽
You Can reverse it. Change of diet and intermittent fasting. Kindly look for a Mucousless diet recipe to cleanse your system. Be strong and patient.
Same they never do what the hell
They want to keep people sick or they'd be out of a job. My opinion only. Sorry about your vision loss. And to think, it could have been prevented. My mom was a puppet to the Big Pharma and only got sicker. Again, MY observation and opinion.
@@baruasafi5880 what can we eat every day
Have been a diabetic (type 1) for 26 years, first time I hear a clear explanation like this. Thank you so much.
I have literally fallen in love with this guy. He makes so much sense !
This guy is absolutly right. I cut out almost all sugar other than fruit a while back when I started eating healthy and felt amazing! Then one fateful morning I ate a cinnamon roll (yes it was organic)
It totally ruined the whole day of work and after work. Probably for a couple days honestly.
Anyways my brother ate no sugar at all other than a little fruit and I think no bread even. And he said he almost felt like he had child like energy.
And folks we come from a poor southern family (I’m 28 my brothers 25) anyways we ate a very processed crappy diet. And still you can turn it around quickly by simply cutting out sugar. Praise God
When you say sugar. What foods do you think? Do you eat pasta, rice..?
I’m also from the South and I have begged my mother to cut out carbs and even a decade of living by example has changed nothing for her when she has been a type two diabetic for over 20 years.
@@Attmay My father has been a diabetic for 40 years-turning 80 next month. He's naughty and does eat some sugary foods but hey he must know what he's doing at this point.
@@Attmay southerners can be very stubborn usually till the point of death, because they dont understand that there body is the temple of the holy spirit. the standar american diet is almost suicide
@@damirceman3921 no just sugar. like baked goods, cane sugar, sweets etc. still used a little honey and fruit
No more reason needed to quit sugar and nobody had ever explained this as beautiful as Dr Berg.
Really in tears what a blunder is done to humanity in disguise of sugar and salt. Thank you Eric people like you make the Earth revolve peacefully
So far this week I cut out sugar and am adopting the keto diet..been drinking lots of lemon water...I also recently stopped drinking alcohol and smoking cigarettes..started lifting weights and jogging and wow I feel totally different in a week..my body is in shock but it's a good shock my energy levels are so high...thank you I kinda knew all this stuff before bit dr you explain it so much better and helps watching videos to keep train rolling
Wow. I have been a diabetic for over 25 years and no doctor has ever described the effects of a hi A1c like this. This video is absolutely incredible and informative. Thank you so much!
@El Bori,
Want to learn even more interesting facts? May I recommend watching, "Raw for 30 Days"__then, show it to your doctor! 💖😺
Which one exactly? Can u send me the link cause I searched for it and many different one's show up
Tell that to your dr next visit😳
I was diabetic weighing around 400 pounds for 20 years or so - then the simple message from sites like this one (Dr BerG), Jason Fung, Ken Berry, Annette Bosworth, Sten Ekberg finally got to my radar *INSULIN drives weight* If you can stop your own body from making so much insulin, you will lose weight. This is true. Over the course of 2019, I almost halved my bodyweight and my HB1AC dropped to 4.3 - This is about ALL sugar. Stop eating the bloody stuff! If you do, you will lose weight
@@elbori4365 ,
Ok, the actual documentary is called, "Simply Raw". Sorry 'bout the confusion. 😛💖😺
Sugar is addicting and in so many foods we don’t even know it’s there but It is
Diet drinks are NOT diet drinks,.
Sugar is not really addictive, if you are thirsty and the first thing you decided to drink becomes addictive. In your case you choose sugar
You’re right. If you read the ingredients on table salt, you’ll see it has dextrose which equates to sugar.
@@natbrat326 use sea salt instead
@@natbrat326 wtf were do u live that people put sugar on salt?
Excellent work! I cut my sugar down drastically and my health improved just like you said, during the transition off sugar I now prefer bland and bitter foods over sugar.
People who educate on sugar are true heros
Haven’t touched sugar in almost 16 months and NEVER will again!!!
12 months June 7th for me. Down 75# on keto and IF. In maintenance for life now. Low carb life.
Same as me!
Fantastic! Well done!
@@gman77gas I’ve lost the same…almost my HS weight! My only regret is not doing keto/IF sooner!
are you sure? what are your top 10 go to foods and drinks?
This was a HUGE eye opener. Thank you so much Dr Berg! Your information has been priceless. Especially over the last two years where many people seem to trust what big pharma tells them rather than do the key things like amend diet, exercise regularly and adapt healthy routines. This video has shocked me to think the "normal" levels of sugar we all thought were okay in fact isn't okay in the long run. Thank you again!
YTF never thought I’d see you here! Very nice. Make sure to mention Dr. Berg sometimes in your watchalongs maybe!
One doctor said "If sugar is able to destroy your strongest organ 'the tooth', imagine what can it do to soft organs."
@@andyspark5192 It's not the sugar that destroys teeth, it's the acid that bacteria release. They eat sugar/carbohydrates though....
@Tekken Theatre well, you are ready now to learn how to shop and eat in a new way! God bless ❤️🙏❤️
What are you doing here, Younes? 😂
Thank you so much for this video Dr.Berg! I have been struggling with sugar addiction for a while now! This explains exactly why I need to get serious about my health and get rid of sugar!
I realized I had an awful sugar addiction a while ago but there does come a point where you know you're absolutely doing TOO MUCH and have to change immediately. For me, that day was when I was eating hibiscus flavored sugar. I made some hibiscus lemonade and ended up licking the spoon (it was sticky), why oh why did I have to lick the spoon! I knew I had to stop and I went on a sugar detox. I'd been doing well for months and recently had a little relapse, so this video is right on time. To anyone who is on the struggle bus with me, be encouraged! I can honestly say that you don't know how awful sugar makes you feel until you detox from it. I felt like was on drugs when I started back eating even just a small amount. It's NOT worth it. I needed this motivation to get back on track. Thanks Dr. Berg! Love you mean it!! :)
About 15 years ago, I was in my mid 30's and felt awful. Constantly tired. All I wanted to do was sleep. But no amount of sleep was enough. My feet, back, and most of my joints hurt. I couldn't even play with our kids without being completely exhausted and hurting for days.
My wife was really concerned that something serious was wrong. As an experiment, I tried cutting sugar for a day. The most amazing thing happened. Yes, I had a terrible headache. But I actually had energy! The next day, I extended my sugar fast. Again, other than the headache, I felt better than I had felt in years. So I decided no more foods sweetened by processed sugar.
The headaches finally went away. Because I had so much more energy, I really felt like working out. Over the next 12 months, I lost almost 40 pounds. Now I'm 49 and I still feel fantastic. I'm running close to 40 miles per week and lifting weights. I've completed a few marathons as well as races of shorter distance. I'll allow myself processed sugar on certain special occasions (anniversary, valentine's day, etc.), but that's it. Thanks for sharing this!
👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
That's so good. I'm such an addict. If i ever give it up there will be no way i could have it again
Same type of thing happened to me. Cut sugar at 35 after feeling like I was 50, now at 36 I feel 25.
Super inspiring. I'm at the point to make this change.. and this was very good to hear
I've been sugar free now for a month, and at 43, never felt better. My workout endurance increased significantly, and all energy levels. Thanks for helping to show me the way, Doc.
That's awesome! 🎉
Have you found your eye sight is better
Can I ask what your diet/life-style consists of?? What are you eating that's toally sugar free
@@nb-tj2zi Chicken, Gulf seafood (I live here), beef, pork, cruciferous vegetables, dairy, and I try to stay away from anything processed. I might see a couple grams of sugar here and there (had 1 in the beans I included tonight since it's Saturday), but it doesn't seem to bother me that much.
Being retired military, I have access to the VA, so I should probably start getting my blood tested and looking for a difference in A1C.
@@gerryr1893 Actually, I noticed a floater more. I had 20/10 vision all through my 20 years in the military, so I don't know what to attribute it to. And, it seems to be more difficult to see up close. But I just retired, so I haven't been taking good care of myself until late. Could easily be age related too.
Ahhh Doc You need to get a marketing company and put this message on every Tv and every internet channel!, WOW, I am well read but this is the first time seeing all this put together!
Thank you Dr. Berg I am 16 yrs old and am glad that I found you🙏🏼I love how you explained and shared this information about health GOD bless you!
Thank you very much for your comment. Glad you like the information here. Have a nice day!
My A1C was 7.5 in 2019. It is now 4.25 after three years on Keto. And now I understand why I can easily walk up steep hills that made me short of breath.
YOURE NOT A DIABETIC, ANYMORE🎊✨🎇🎆🎉🎈🎈🎈🎈Congrats, young lady. 🤩
I really like the way Dr. Berg teaches WHY we need to change our diet and habits. I am much more compliant if I understand WHY I need to make these changes and it's easier to stay with those changes. Thank you, Dr. Berg.
Yeahh
EXACTLY! The "Why" is "Key".
Dr. Berg has done more with this video than all practicing Doctors in my whole life, in terms of Sugar awareness. Thank you Dr. Berg, great job!
Exactly, cause if people just tell to not do something, and not explain why, I dont usually think about it and still do it.
Absolutely. I won't touch the stuff now lol. I've always known sugar is bad but... when the picture gets painted in all its anti glory... it's easy to say no lol
Hello, Dr. Berg. Your videos are soooo important. You would help many more people all over the world if you add multiple language closet caption subtitles to your videos.
Wow just watching the first 4 minutes of this video I've learned so much. It's incredible how he was able to easily digest all that info and explain it so well.
No ads, no promotions, just love for humanity. Great channel.
Sir... I thank you for my transformation. I've sworn off raw sugar for the better part of 4 years now in July of 2022 and have been intermittent fasting for that period as well. Because of your info on fasting and the negative effects of sugar, you have reversed a generational curse in my family of diabetes, for me and my wife and children. I can't get all my extended family members to buy in, but I have planted the seeds of info in the hopes that one day they will listen. You are a life saver!
If you follow intermittent fasting let’s say 18/6 I can guaranty you you will cut smoking by 70%. In those 18 hours of fasting you will probably not smoke more than a few cigarettes. I would drink coffee or eat anything in order to be able to smoke. So when you fast you have no will for cigarettes
Thank you for these vids i have drastically stopped consuming sugar about 98% of my life because it's impossible to keep away 100% since is in everything,since i done this i dropped a few pounds with out the gym and i feel better every day
I quit eating sugar 7 months ago. Had a few days of headaches at first but now I feel great. Your mind opens up to the universe too when you quit this horrible addiction. You'll learn to love plain yogurt and fruit like I have. Also coffee with only half and half. Good stuff!!
I was just talking about this the other day with my coach. When I stopped eating sugar I was having horrible headaches like constantly. Sugar is truly an addiction and struggle. Thanks for the good video😉
If you have a craving, just eat some fatty meat. You need to replace sugar and carbs with FAT, to be used as energy!
Yes, it is well known that eating loads of sugar and carbs has made all the Kenyan and Ethiopians seriously ill and overweight. I think if we got them all on a western diet and sent a few Big Macs over that they might have a few elite athletes one day
@@freedomination2 thanks... I had cake last week the first time in 14 months. Bad dream...
I was addicted to energy drinks for years! It takes a lot of disciple to quit and it's an everyday struggle. Great job lowering your sugar intake, I need to work on that next.
Well, did you have an idea that carbs (and especially sugar) are literally brain food. So by cutting it off you are depriving your brain from it's only energy source. You 2kg brain eats up 60-80% of the carbs that your 70+ kg body digests.
When I eat sugar, it becomes a battle just to get out of bed. When my body is running on ketones, the moment I open my eyes, I get up in 2 seconds. I'm loving this new lifestyle.
Stress hormones Will do that
There ya' go. I love hearing people say that ! 🤓
I agree, this is me. My kids are up at 5am and after I cut out sugar and did intermittent fasting, I could literally open my eyes and get on with my morning.
Suddenly so many random thing happening to my body in the past few weeks makes sense. I knew my diet had been utterly terrible recently but I didn’t know the nitty gritty about what I’ve been doing to my body, I’ve just been focusing on my weight. Thank you for this
You're very welcome. Glad you found the video helpful.
It is encouraging to know that we can reverse all these serious consequences of consuming rubbish quite quickly. I see it as a sign that our bodies want to be well.
I’m a sugar addict. I MUST avoid it.
Keto and IF 18/6 has given me new life. This was an excellent video full of new stuff to me. Thank you Dr. Berg. My go-to source for everything.
@@timdehaan843 go for it. I'll visit your grave.
@@timdehaan843 yeah idk why he diednt tall about eating organic fruit. Cause theres so much natural growing fruit in this world. Are we not suppose to eat what is here for us? Im sure its not bad if its from fruit. But if its from carbs and processed sugar then i can see why it is bad
Milk kefir can stop sugar cravings by altering your gut biome. Give it a try it worked wonders for me and my clients
@@timdehaan843 You dont know what you are talking about, Dr. Tim. Eating sugar produces cravings that cause an increase in consumption just like a drug addict. Avoiding sugar completely eradicates those cravings. Instead of lusting for ice cream you will find out it is a very repulsive substance.
@@timdehaan843 I assumed he was speaking about added/processed sugar in particular; he should have made that distinction. But yeah I'm a total sugar addict too. I get straight up irritable when craving a cookie -- but I gotta train myself to reach for berries or something.
I began this experiment three years ago. It took about a year to really get the sugar down, so I've had about two years of properly really low sugar, and every physical marker is better. Every single one. What I hadn't expected was for my asthma to go away.
Wow well done what is your diet like any advice for new beginners who fall back into the trap every now and then
amazing!
@@lacerav5818 1. Think in the really long term. There is no rush, you have your entire life to figure this out. Years, not months. 2. Focus on eating real, whole foods and avoiding ultra-processed foods. If you can get UPFoods out of your diet, which includes sugar but also canola oil, junk food, even diet soda etc, it will all feel better. 3. If you have to eat sugar, only do it after eating protein and fat. Avoid at all costs eating the muffin at 10am by itself. 4. Don't drink calories, even smoothies. If you want fruit eat fruit. Keep at it.
👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
This is the video that made me stop taking sugar 2 months ago and am loving it
i’m sooo thankful for finding your channel
As an older adult on keto and IF, I stopped consuming sugar for quite a while ago. I do eat beets to help my heart. I no longer crave sugar at all. Thank you Dr Berg for another great video.
I started the same last summer..going well. Off Metformin and have lost 28 pounds.
@@Momtocam1997 wow! Good job!
🤔 Interesting, so eating beets made you not crave sugar? I don't like beets though 😔😢.
Thankfully I'm not diabetic, but I've been craving sugar lately which I NEVER used to! I believe it was one of Dr. Berg videos that stated women who are going through menopause start craving sugar and can become diabetic 😔😳😢.
Which is what happened to me I started craving it when I started having menopause symptoms.
Does anyone know how to stop this?
I do IF and have for years and usually only eat one meal a day.
I am willing to try to eat beets (raw...cause I prefer my veggies raw 😊) again even though I HATE them if it truly will help me not have surgery cravings.
Thanks for sharing and I wish you continued success!!!😊
@@maryannmd8331
I see that it's a Lady (named Gloria).
Yes ma'am I know she's on the keto diet. And I re-read it and saw where she eats beets to help her heart. I just thought maybe it helped her not crave sugar and so since just recently I started craving it (as I stated I NEVER use to till I started having menopause symptoms) I was willing to force myself to try to eat raw beets if that helped her to not have surgery cravings.
I don't nor have I ever been one to drink sugar filled drinks (except flavored cream in my coffee 1 cup in morning).
So I hope Dr. Berg will help me or maybe someone else who has had the same experience happen to them ALL the sudden just like I have so I can get the urge to go away. I don't eat or drink lots of sugar like you think I am.
I just hope I don't have pre diabetes because I have asked my doctor and she doesn't seem to think so, but I don't want to end up with it.
AGAIN I DON'T eat or drink lots of sugar foods or drinks like your suggesting I do!!! I just don't understand why my body has started having such urges for sweets.
And I was hoping to hear from Gloria who posted.
I hope you understand that I do know not to eat junk or trash foods.
And as I stated I have done IF for years and I usually only eat one meal a day. Have a good day
@@pamelatimbush3762 No Pamela...beets have nothing to do with cravings. I mean that beets are almost the only things that I eat that have sugar, but I eat them daily because they are good for heart health.
I keep my sugar intake to a minimum. What bugs me the most is those "hidden" sugars that are bulked into processed foods. That has done a lot of damage to unsuspecting people.
It's in everything. Was trying to find some beans to eat and they all have added sugar except one brand and even then it naturally has 2g of sugar but better than added sugar.

@@chrissyellem7397 God bless you &thank you very much sincerely, for your wondrous enlightenment
The good thing about that is that it should promote eating fresh food instead of processed….we should really limit the amount of processed, chemically enhanced fake food..besides sugar, they have tons of other dangerous chemicals
Yep, they put it in things like gravy, tomato sauce and even spices. You really have to be careful to avoid it when doing a strict no-sugar plan.
This discussion about AIC is very helpful Doc🙏🙏.i had just told my daughter last night to check her sugar level and I can’t explain it why.?definitely i will share her,my family,friends this important information!God bless you Doc always!No wonder you have millions of followers!!your videos helped me a lot…!You’re such a blessings to us!!♥️🙏😇
My experience with sugar caused me to become confused and I began to blurt out certain phrases that were a surprise to myself and other around me... Not only have I removed sugar from my body, I plead with people to GIVE IT UP COMPLETELY before causing issues at work, home, and even a bit liken to blurting out words I did not recognize! I beg people to remove sugar from your diets!!! God Bless you!!

Im going to watch this now..and mayb this can give me a wake up call and keep me at my goal..
Me too!
I'm reducing sugar and carbs intake; while increasing protein, fat and vegetables (fiber) and do some fasting. I definitely feel less hungry without eating too much carbs and feel more healthy. Thanks for the informative videos Dr. Berg!
Having less appetite is a sign of slower metabolism.
@@gabrielacsinte9849 If you ever try fasting you’ll notice a loss of appetite because your body becomes used to eating at certain times.
@@David-vf7if Yes, you become used to it. It's like saying that if you will start being a construction worker, you will feel pain in the beggining but you will get used to it. True, but it doesn't mean that you will not have back and joint issues later in life. You just become adapted to a stressed situation, but that stress still damages you.
Same with fasting, cortisol arises, inhibits appetite and you adapt to it, but your body will still consume muscles and tissues during fasting. That's what cortisol does, it's catabolic and pro-aging. Why do you think bodybuilders that are natural and do not overtrain, live longer? They keep themselves in an anabolic state, eating every 2 hours so they minimize catabolism. Some of them even wake up during the night to eat something light. These people become stress resilient, they have deep sleep and they have high energy levels, because the body always has fuel from food.
@@David-vf7if I forgot to say that the only benefit of fasting, which is pretty huge, is that decreases endotoxin. Endotoxin is known to be the cause of most diseases. It also antagonist of the dopamine receptors, so that's why depressed people usually have bowel issues. In that case you could cure that by reducing endotoxin or by enhancing dopamine production.
But what if i wanna be hungry and gain weight/muscle? My problem is that i'm not eating enough.
You covered more crucial material in this one video than I ever got in two days of lectures during nursing school ( and no test) ! I'm really trying to eliminate carbs and doing I F as well. I hope my A1C is down at my next appt. This video should be mandatory viewing at all health related institutions ! I even passed it around to family and friends. Thanks again Doc !!! 👍👍👍
If u find hard to cut it off. . Try electrolite powder. . . all ur craving for carb n sugar will gone. . . also it helps u so much of u are going to water fasting for 7 days or more. . . . Easy peasy
😍
Research Allulose
It wouldn’t be wise to eliminate carbs straight up you have to learn to choose the right carbs and how much of it you’re consuming. Sweet potato, Oatmeal, Wild Rice and buckwheat are all examples of good carbs the body needs. I would eliminate white bread, or any starchy processed food that contains artificial ingredients
Watch Pradip Jamnadis! He has great fasting videos and paleo videos. I e lost 10 pounds and A1C went from 5.8 to 5.7 my goal is 5.5.
I'm already 45 days off sugar.
Initial days I had no craving for sugar but after 40 days craving is very strong.
Excellent lessons. Thank you Dr Erick
Been sugar free ever since the age of 16, I'm 19 now - an athlete!
You are very wise!!!
OMG. That was really scary. And I thought just because my sugar levels were normal I could keep binging on sugars. Opened my eyes to the dangers. Thank you Dr Berg. Marvellous advice and video
I haven't eaten sugar since the April 2022. I was getting border line diabetes and that was it for me. May sugar levels are now normal, I lost 26 points and my blood cholesterol went down. Don't think just cause you went off of sugar that you get over the cravings cause when you look at a beautiful desert or a hot dinner roll you really need to control yourself.
The thing is with sugar
Is that the fibre inherent in a fruit if eaten whole is bound with the sugar releasing it slowly fruit is ok if eaten whole
The whole thing against sugar is that it has been refined... if your familar with the distillation process, its been concentrated so when taken sugar is a raw hit increasing insulin like nothing causing regulator factors to come in and cause unbalance, do this enough and your body just says, sigh whatever and gives up THEREFORE when you are addicted to the whole up down swing of hormones this becomes a new normal and any variation can cause withdrawals
all my life I’ve had issues being tired all the time. I wouldn’t say it was on the extreme end of being chronically tired but it was definitely noticeable even when I get a good amount of sleep. I’m going to take up this challenge and if I notice a change in my energy levels, I’m going to make a commitment to never go back.
I’ll be back in two weeks with an update
So how was it? Any difference?
