Stopping suger has been expensive to me. I lost so much of myself. I lost 25 lbs, I lost painful joints, I lost my depression, I lost my diabetes, It ruined my brand new leather belt, it now has several more holes in it. A good life is expensive, but I am so grateful for finding Dr. Berry.
I was a sugar addict eg. 8 teaspoon of sugar in my coffee and had sore joints, overweight, lots of cavities and feeling miserable. Quit cold turkey upon listening to your videos on Keto diet. Never had sugar at all since Oct 1. Was 274 lbs and this morning Nov 18 I’m 239 lbs and feel like I’m 20 at 56. If it wasn’t for your informative videos, I would still be in pain and miserable. Thanks Dr Berry
8 teaspoons? Hell I wish that was all I was doing. I used to turn the sugar container on its side and just push a ton in the huge yeti cup. A 3 day water/salt fast broke my sugar cravings.
Still struggling myself. I have a bad, bad sugar jones. I even did the 3 day water fast and ate sugar immediately after. Went without sugar for 3 months and fell off again. It makes me depressed. I'm still trying, but I'm set up for failure at work with all the sweets around. Good thing we're moving soon. Ironically, I seem to be in pretty good health. Normal BMI, low blood pressure, no real health problems. But I know this is a problem. I don't want to rot from the inside out. But I would eat a donut right now if it was available to me. :/
For me the thing I noticed most when I cut out sugar was an extreme reduction in joint pain. So I would think inflammation should be on this list too. JMO.
I have to tell you Dr. that I’m in a nursing home and when I went on Keto, I couldn’t believe the garbage like sugar, grains, dairy, fructose,pasta, breads, sweets, etc., etc., etc., they were giving me. They even have a Dietician lol, that’s suppose to be making sure we eat right What a laugh!!! Keep us here to get their money and watch us die. You have to really be sharp to exist in a place like this. Well, Keto is for me and it only took a few days to get off all this junk!!! Thanks Dr. Berry!!!
Pandemic of our times is obesity (some people are skinny on the out side, fat in the inside). And I'm just amazed at how ignorant some people are, not those who dont know, I was one of them 6 months ago, but those who knowingly try to cover up the benefits of keto & IF. You are doing a wonderfull job Dr. Berry, may further success follow you in your efforts.
I like how this guy gets right to business in the video. other people would have made this a 30 min video talking about themselves. Thanks for just the facts.
Dr. Berry, I was prescribed medication for anxiety. It was out of control. Quite worse than I ever imagine anxiety to ever be. I read somewhere that a high fat, high protein diet can reduce anxiety. I decided to research that specific topic and I landed on this channel. It’s been 3 months of a carnivore diet and I have almost zero anxiety and I am freed from medication. I feel and look better than ever and my health is overall 10x it was in a matter of a few months. Thank you.
In late July you issued a challenge to eat only beef, butter, bacon, and liver for 30 days. I took the challenge. I am now at day 110 without carbs (except raisins, sorry, could not resist), down from 262 to 228 (without exercise), and will get my bloodwork done soon. So, you asked how many symptoms I have now, NONE! How many did I have before accepting your challenge, 4 out of 11.
Thirst. irritable bowel. Frequent urination not so much. Depression not so much any more, but anxiety. Blood pressure. Cavities. Have changed to keto carnivore, but still snack refined carbs and sugar. Arthritic pain in some joints, sometimes. Sweet taste I think is the main reason, and savory taste. Thank you, this information filled in the blanks on why keto carnivore was not quiet doing enough for me, clearly was my snacking that did not allow Keto carnivore to be fully effective on me. Never thought of boiled eggs for snacking when it strikes, been trying to use Sardines and pilchards, but I always use to love boiled eggs by itself.
You used to get an amount of endorfins from both smoking and carbohydrates. You stopped smoking and want to get the same amount endorphins consuming other stuff, sugar for example. So you just exchange one consuming addiction to another. Try to get endorphins from activity, not from consuming. Play some sports. Football, tennis, basketball, whatever you like.
2 years of struggle 4 me 2 stop eating sugar/carbs. my body is now going back in time 2 health/strength i had 25 years ago & keeps on getting better & better
I had to cut out sugar completely because I kept getting bacteria infections and urinary tract infections and yeast infections and it was starting to interfere with my sex life LOL and since I cut out sugar, I feel so much better and I'm not having any bladder issues or infections at all !!!! Thank you Dr Ken Berry for showing me the proper way to take care of my body! Love you bunches
Angular cheilitis and excessive sweating. I suffered ftom that for years, i started watching your vedios, i stopped all sugars and refined carbs, immediately, started eating keto and naturally produced foods, plants and animal products , in just over one month, all my symptoms disappeared, i lost weight, which wasn't on my lust, because i wasn't overweight, but i was ok with that, my belky Bloating disappeared, migraines are less frequent and joint pain is more manageable. I feel wonderful at 56. I'm surprised when I tried eating sugars again, i felt like it was drilling a hole in my tongue. I have no cravings and feeling like a new person. Thank you tremendously, much of the refards from 🇨🇦 Toronto.
mine hurt so much, that i was prescribed and took Mexthyl Trexate and Zorprin 800mg dailey, It stopped when I quit drinking alcohol. (i was a heavy drinker.)
Omg!!! Some of these I never knew!! I’ve been doing Keto since last year, but yesterday was my birthday so I got off to celebrate. I had Potatoes both sweet potatoes and white potatoes with my meal, and cake... I didn’t know why I couldn’t sleep last night. Too much sugar and carbs... don’t worry I’m back on target today!! Thanks Dr Ken!! 🙂
That is amazing! congrats, I had hypertention too, now its in high normals with a loss of 35+ kgs, and many many other benefits also. Its wonderful seeing people find their health! :)
I have never liked sugar or sweet things and don't/didn't eat them. People tell me I look like I'm in my 40s but , I'm in my 60s. However, I did eat homemade bread that is probably where my tooth problems came from. Thank you Dr Barry for the wonderful videos
I've been following the Keto diet consistently for four months. I've lost nearly 40 lbs and my A1C has dropped from 9.8 in June to 5.9 mid November. Thank you!😃
Thank you for this video.. tomorrow water fast... I have been eating a incredible amount of sugar for a couple weeks, an incredible amount and I normally all my life DONT eat sweets, I like food but for two week I have consumed a large amt . Been alone and so I’ve really needed these two videos the last couple of days. Thank you very much for being here for us.
Thank you Dr. Berry! I found you and your wife 6 wks ago and have been on keto for 5wks now. -10lbs and my cycles have returned, they where absent from my PCOS. God bless you and your cute family 💖
Getting off opiates sucks balls. But it’s easier to stay off them if you don’t have access to them anymore. It’s easy to just go to the store for any food you want! Time has gone by and I still think about the pills I used to take. Not going through getting off them again though.
@@PumaPete you are right, I’m not ever going to the street for the pills, so that’s it, cold turkey. But mashed potatoes, Italian bread, a big plate of spaghetti, pizza, curry WITH rice are perfectly legal and right around the corner!
Good Morning Dr.Ken! We need a video on Bone Broth for Cancer patients! So many times i hear of friends with cancer and appetite loss and turn to comfort foods that aggravate inflammation. Love and light to you and yours from Winnipeg, Canada ♡
my face gets puffy - like slightly swollen eyelids. It was my birthday this weekend so I just ate all the cakes. I usually keto or at least do a say 16h fast if I overshoot my carb target for a meal. But I felt horrible after a weekend of junk - glad to be back to my usual routine again
10 months ago, I struggled sleeping, had bowel issues, my skin changed and my sugar was 29.7, my Hba1c was 16.4. I now can testy, I sleep better and my overall health uas improved. My Hba1c is now 5.2. Praise God
No sugar 2.4 years now, I don't miss that Poison at all. It still amazes me how sweet everything tastes when you cut sugar out. Thank you for sharing this important information with us all. Take care, stay safe & Happy Christmas everybody. 🎅❤🙂🐶
That’s amazing, well done for cutting it out. I totally agree with you about how sweet it does taste once you have eliminated a lot of it out of your diet. Such an addictive poison if that makes any sense. :-). I hope you are keeping well.
@@BlindGirlVlogs Thank you, & Well done to you, if you've already eliminated it from your diet, or are working towards that. It takes time, took about a month for me. Course there's going to be natural sugars in things, but they just need to be eaten rarely & in small doses. Lol. It's sneakily in so many things too, & it has loads of different names, you have to get good at reading labels. Addictive Poison makes sense to me. I hope your keeping well too. Take care & Stay healthy Blind Girl Vlogs. 🎅❤🙂🐶
Following Dr. B’s keto then carnivore reset advice for two months now. Down a solid 20lbs. I no longer have the 5lb. weight swings as before. Also able to test out my food sensitivities now that I’ve eliminated all the unnecessary junk. I’m more lactose intolerant than I ever imagined. I have been losing from the inside out. Only just beginning to have lose clothes, but I’m glad because maybe this means my organs are healing first?
I am 64 high Blood Pressure. 152 / 82. Lot of bread and potatoes, 0%milk,.UTIs I pass a lot of kidney stones They're small. And that elevates my sugar also.went from 416 to 367 1/30/24, Started my Carnivore Diet 9 days ago, Due to my A1C going from 6.0 too 8.3, Could 99% of the bread out, Eat a small baked potato twice a day,with my meat And I drink 0% milk From drinking whole and 2%. I know I'm starting to feel my own self. Doing this diet. Thank you for the 11 I'm 3 of those. Thank you DR.
Hi Doctor, greetings to you,n everyone on your team, just wanna say I can't find enough words to say how much I appreciate your advice and caution to us about our health, thanks 👍 sooooo much, I greatly appreciate your kindness my the god of heaven Bless you n all other's on this channel ❤
I’m currently pregnant and still doing a ketovore diet. I’ve tried multiple times to incorporate fruit and every time I experience swelling in my feet/hands, body aches, and excessive thirst. However, raw milk doesn’t seem to bother me.
I've been doing keto since January. My skin responded after several months by becoming less dry and less itchy. I'm also not constantly hungry now. But my blood sugar is still high.
@@_Mikekkk Not necessarily. It may also mean he's eating too much protein and not enough fat. The body will break down the protein into glucose. Look up gluconeogenesis.
Sportys Business As far as I know, body makes only as much of glucose from protein as it needs. Not all of protein. I eat a lot of protein and very little of carbs, and my blood glucose goes down constantly. My morning glucose went from 6 to 5, sometimes even to 4.6 on keto diet. And after a high protein food during the day it also going down, I check it 2 hours after - and it is always lower than before meal.
Dr. Berry, thank you for your informative videos. I have learned a lot about how the body works. I am a 66 yr old diabetic. I have high BP and high cholesterol. My last A1c was 6.0, which is the lowest it has been since I was diagnosed almost 12 years ago. My highest was 7.1. I take Metformin and since it was in good control, I didn't care what I ate. I am addicted to dark chocolate and I give in to my craving whenever it hits. Then a couple weeks ago, I checked my fasting BS and it was over 150. About that time I found your videos and started watching them. I decided to eliminate carbs altogether. Then I read about how Metformin can actually make T2 worse, so last night I decided to see what happened if I did not take it. My BS was 97 when I went to bed last night and this morning it was 112. Normally I range from 100-115 in the morning. In the 7 days since I started, I have lost over 4 pounds. My skin does not keep me awake with intense itching now and when I got up this morning I was not so stiff and I could walk a lot easier. Since 2017, I have basically lived in my power chair and it has been getting harder to stand while cook or clean afterwards. This is not going to heal my lumbar DDD nor will it replace the cartilage in my hip, but I am hoping this new way of life will eliminate some of my pain. I tried KETO once but it didn't last. This time I am eating protein and fat and eliminating plants from my diet. I truly think that because I am allergic to many plants, that I should not eat any plant based food. Thank you!!
Been doing keto/carnevour now about two years. Occasional sugar treats for me sometimes result in hangover type headaches. But something weird happened just recently. While I was sick for a couple days with a sinus issue I was miserable. Fever, weak, tired, aching head. I was craving nothing but heavily buttered toast. After having some (and no other foods because everything else was unappetizing) I was very quickly relaxed and able to get quality sleep. I'm well now. I'm a huge believer in keto/carnevour and the proper human diet. I plan on continuing for life but I'm sharing the above experience of mine to show that in a strange way maybe there is a place and a use for bread.
I don't have any of those signs while I'm IF and keto but I can seem to adopt the lifestyle full-time. I always go back for at least a while. Birthdays and holidays especially. I'm afraid I'll never completely quit sugar. Here lately I've been doing IF and keto through the week and going plum crazy on the weekends but I maintain that way at least.
Unfortunately I'm a sugar addict and I have most of the symptoms described above including type 2 diabetes and ED.....I struggle to get off sugar, it's worse than alcohol addiction because there's no shame in overeating sugar.
you might want to give a try to the carnivore diet, at least for a year or so. Think about it alcoholics are not told to limit their alcohol consumption, they're told to remove all alcohol. Even on a low carb diet you still are eating carbs and triggering cravings, removing all carbs on a carnivore diet is easier than trying to balance a bit of carbs but not too many. If it doesn't work for you long term do it for 6 months only it should at least allow you to reset your gut microbiome and taste buds and this will help with cravings. If your gut microbiome is made of bacteria that feeds on carbs those bacteria can trigger cravings to be fed, removing them removes that part of the cravings. If your taste buds get used to no sweet taste it becomes harder to eat those very sweet foods.
Purge your home of sugar. Everything that has sugar in it, including the bread, toss it into a large garbage bag and take that to the dump. If it is not in your home, less temptation.
I have older looking skin, depression and high blood pressure. After finding your channel a couple weeks ago and reducing my carbs and eliminating most sugars, my mood is noticeably better and my blood pressure is lower. I plan to continue working on it. Thank you for the valuable info!
I have High Blood pressure , belly fat and anxiety. I started drinking more water and Substitute Sugar for Honey for my tea. Thank you for sharing this important facts about sugar.
I have several of the conditions you mentioned. I eat too much wheat bread, peanut butter, don't really eat things like candy or pastries. I recently had blood taken and Dr. advised caution, I have gained weight. I'm 74, retired, and don't get enough exercise. Have had heart surgery 1/23/23. I have gone to natural peanut butter which has no sugar, so I have started to adjust.
I have most of them... but the good news is that I am transitioning to an antiinflammatory/keto-vore diet. In the last several weeks, weight has started dropping off of me, my abdomen is much flatter, the outward signs of inflammation (psoriasis) have reduced, and I expect more good things to come! I have metabolic syndrome, fibromyalgia, two coronary artery blockages, super high cholesterol, osteo and psoriatic arthritis... oh, and 20 years of subsisting on pain meds, because I had no idea there was a better way! So I am very hopeful.
Rosacea and inability to stay asleep are gone! Thx to eliminating all sugars both processed and natural and way lowering my carb intake! No more meds for Rosacea in my life now! After 30 years on them. 👍
Appreciate the info - I have 4 of the symptoms you mentioned. Weight gain (20 lbs in a year) older looking skin, feeling depressed , and insomnia. In second week of Keto- feeling absolutely giddy in the am and most of the day. Is there a such thing as a “Keto high”?😂 if so I think I have discovered it!!!!!
thankfully I never had a sweet tooth but was weak for melons and most fruits. Now no more of that, except berries and in moderation, my whole body is slowly saying thank you.
Today I am one month low carb and no sugar. I am 7kgs lighter. I sleep better.. I immediately noticed better bowel movements. I miss eating lots of fruit, but the super steaks taste so much sweeter without the chips. The best thing is that I feel that I have seized back control of my body. I know that more weight will go, so I am being patient for that.
Nice comments and video. I gave up sugar and now no longer have tooth pain, my asthma has improved and best of all, I don't have those horrible mood/hunger swings throughout the day. But to do this properly I take my glasses with me when I shop and read labels (which I did not used to do!) Fructose, artificial sweeteners etc are even worse than natural sugar. I had to educate myself about these things because food companies disguise them. I try to avoid anything processed - just eat natural. If it's in plastic it's probably not without added ingredients.
Thanks so much for all your input, Dr. Berry. I have 8 of these, but have started cutting carbs and have already dropped some weight. There is so much confusion out there and I now listen to you and Dr. Westman and I am reversing all the harm done to myself over the decades. Having FH, I did the "low fat" eating for decades and nothing improved. Then I developed diabetes thanks to statins and things steadily got worse until I came across your videos (and Dr. Westman's) and I have been doing a LOT of listening since then. Once one knows what to do, it becomes so much easier. I want to get off a bunch of meds I am on and have already stopped two of them. Seeing some signs of improvement, but it's still early days for me. Your videos are life-saving. Blessings on you.
Gave up sugar 2-1/2 years ago when I went ‘keto’..... horrible withdrawal for a good solid week.... but well with it!!! (Just shared this with a few people I know have sugar issues)
I definitely relate with withdrawal symptoms from sugar. Oh goodness me, it’s awful. The damage it does to the body is just shocking. Sounds like you are doing great, so keep it up. Keep safe and well
I've been on Keto for two weeks now and I swear it has already cleared up a skin problem I had. I also eat only twice a day now sometimes once a day. I did weight 185, now I weight 170. Did I mention I'm 68. I'm very active because I live in Colorado and love the outdoors. No I'll effects at all.
Sugar is really difficult to stop, but I've noticed as I have decreased over the past few years, it doesn't taste that great anymore and I actually get mouth ulcers and little blisters on my lips if I eat added sugar crap carb foods. I'm a recovering carb/sugar holic as most people are!! And these symptoms are more what happens now since reducing my intake. You would think this should make it easy to give up, but I'm human and unfortunately relapse 🙈but taking each day as they come, and I know I've changed so much with my good choices in the last 4years so that's a plus 😊 Thank you always for your content ❤
I had 10 of those signs before they diagnosed me. Complained for years. They upped the dose of xanax for the anxiety. Bloodwork showed for 4 years I was a raging diabetic. I talked to the dietician and thought you know what, you are out of your mind. Thank you VA for being COMPLETELY WRONG AGAIN! Down to 25 carbs a day, lost near 30 lbs, blood pressure back to normal, off two of the three meds for diabetes and then I ate shrimp tonight dipped in cocktail sauce, SPIKE. That's off the list, hidden sugar. I'll toss the rest of the shrimp in olive oil, garlic and lemon juice tomorrow. Backing off the xanax gradually, sleep better than I have in years.
I started the keto diet in August, with it turning into carnivore/ketovore after a few weeks. I had weaned myself off of sugar with different sweeteners like monkfruit, xylitol, or erythritol. I only had it once a day in my coffee. When toying with the idea of fasting, I decided to give up the sweeteners as well. Within TWO DAYS, the "eczema" on my hands was gone! No more inflammation or cracked skin! My husband experiments with ancient grain flours sometimes for baking, but one day we chose something else the local grocer had in stock. Bad idea. Inflammed skin. Enkhorn flour doesn't seem to bother me. So I don't have eczema, I have a reaction to a plant based food. I can't wait to tell my doctor! 🤣
I keep waking up in the night, and I was thinking it was due to anxiety/depression, but after seeing this video, I can now see the writing on the wall. After another night of waking up from just a few hours of sleep, I came across this video. The doctor revealed a shocking side effect I didn’t suspect until now…my chronic thirst, which feels like a chronic sore throat. For decades, I’d treat my sore throats with cough drops…which contain sugar! A catch-22, for sure. And once I go down that rabbit hole of consuming sugar…my body wants more sugar!
I have at least 8 of these. I’m addicted to sweet tea and Dr Pepper. I am desperately trying to find my will power to go keto. 🙏 Thank you, Dr. Berry, fir all your helpful and encouraging videos. They give me so much hope!
Have none of these anymore. Didn’t think about acne/breakouts, but it has definitely been over a year for me. It’s crazy how just about everything is related to sugar.
Hi, I just thought I'd share this. Almost all brands of toothpaste and mouthwash contain sugar in the form of Sucralose. Which is listed on ingredients of the product. I put this to the test recently using the Listerine 10 in 1 Zero alcohol mouthwash. I fasted for 36 hours then consumed 100ml of the mouthwash (I don't recommend people do this). The results on my blood glucose was almost identical to the diabetes blood glucose 2 hour test!
I have left sugar permanently since 2012, and I do not drink gas and energy. Believe me, I have not been sick since then, and I feel that my immune system has increased and many other changes have occurred in my body, so I will never allow myself to return to sugar again
I have a few of these! I was very surprised by some such as it causing high blood pressure, as you say I avoid adding salt to anything for that reason but am guilty of having a sweet tooth! Thanks for the video 🙂
Thank you for your wise words. The question in regards to which symptoms I have, I have experienced all of them just not at the same time. How long does it take to rid your body from the craving sugar?
I have none of the symptoms. Diagnosed T2 in May with 12.3 A1C. Down to 5.3 A1C by August. I went low carb (under 30 grams per day), no sugar. Down over35 lbs. On Metformin only, now.

It was easier for me with quitting smoking than quitting carbs. I used to smoke 2 packs a day.
OMG! Same here. I thought I would never beat the nicotine, but I did. This sugar addiction is a different type of beast.
Oh crap 🤷♀️ I am just the opposite 😅
Omg, me too! Had more issues with carbs then quitting smoking.
You used to get an amount of endorfins from both smoking and carbohydrates.

When I eat sugar my joints hurt.
the inside of my mouth just starts peeling off and I start itching. This happens even with some fruits, really weird.
yup that's the glycation overload in order.
mine hurt so much, that i was prescribed and took Mexthyl Trexate and Zorprin 800mg dailey, It stopped when I quit drinking alcohol. (i was a heavy drinker.)
@@rappatenebrense I thought I was the only one where my ears itch when I eat cantaloupe, it is really weird!
I've noticed this too. Arthritus in my fingers hurt soon after.
Omg!!! Some of these I never knew!! I’ve been doing Keto since last year, but yesterday was my birthday so I got off to celebrate. I had Potatoes both sweet potatoes and white potatoes with my meal, and cake... I didn’t know why I couldn’t sleep last night. Too much sugar and carbs... don’t worry I’m back on target today!!
Thanks Dr Ken!! 🙂
Dr Berry. thanks to you and my persistent Sister, I have none of these any longer. I started Keto Sept. 27th, have lost 23 lbs since.
You’re doing great Cin!!!
Hypertension and ED. I'm 62 and been on hybrid keto for 4 months. Dropped 30#'s like a bad habit. Continuing my journey to more weight loss.
That is amazing! congrats, I had hypertention too, now its in high normals with a loss of 35+ kgs, and many many other benefits also. Its wonderful seeing people find their health! :)
I have never liked sugar or sweet things and don't/didn't eat them. People tell me I look like I'm in my 40s but , I'm in my 60s. However, I did eat homemade bread that is probably where my tooth problems came from. Thank you Dr Barry for the wonderful videos
I've been following the Keto diet consistently for four months. I've lost nearly 40 lbs and my A1C has dropped from 9.8 in June to 5.9 mid November. Thank you!😃
Thank you for this video.. tomorrow water fast... I have been eating a incredible amount of sugar for a couple weeks, an incredible amount and I normally all my life DONT eat sweets, I like food but for two week I have consumed a large amt . Been alone and so I’ve really needed these two videos the last couple of days. Thank you very much for being here for us.
Going on 2 years and I'm still down 125 lbs. I owe you so much more than thank you Dr Ken D Berry You saved my life!
Thank you Dr. Berry! I found you and your wife 6 wks ago and have been on keto for 5wks now. -10lbs and my cycles have returned, they where absent from my PCOS. God bless you and your cute family 💖
@Ms. Elizabeth so much less, not gone but way less pain!
I had a easier time getting off opiates. Carbs and sugar is so much harder. Thank you for your channel.
I don’t know, opiates are pretty hard but I agree, I really miss bread and pasta. Fuck.
Got that right!
Getting off opiates sucks balls. But it’s easier to stay off them if you don’t have access to them anymore. It’s easy to just go to the store for any food you want! Time has gone by and I still think about the pills I used to take. Not going through getting off them again though.
@@thedata831 That's all I know!!!
@@PumaPete you are right, I’m not ever going to the street for the pills, so that’s it, cold turkey. But mashed potatoes, Italian bread, a big plate of spaghetti, pizza, curry WITH rice are perfectly legal and right around the corner!
I also have more aches and pains when I eat too much sugar. Or really, any sugar at all.
100% agree with added inflammation and pain after eating too much sugar/carbs
Since being on Keto and cut out all sugar , my Bacne cleared up! I struggled with Bacne since a teen! Now it’s gone!
Same!!!
Good Morning Dr.Ken! We need a video on Bone Broth for Cancer patients! So many times i hear of friends with cancer and appetite loss and turn to comfort foods that aggravate inflammation.
Love and light to you and yours from Winnipeg, Canada ♡
my face gets puffy - like slightly swollen eyelids. It was my birthday this weekend so I just ate all the cakes. I usually keto or at least do a say 16h fast if I overshoot my carb target for a meal. But I felt horrible after a weekend of junk - glad to be back to my usual routine again
Exactly my symptom
10 months ago, I struggled sleeping, had bowel issues, my skin changed and my sugar was 29.7, my Hba1c was 16.4. I now can testy, I sleep better and my overall health uas improved. My Hba1c is now 5.2. Praise God
No sugar 2.4 years now, I don't miss that Poison at all.
It still amazes me how sweet everything tastes when you cut sugar out.
Thank you for sharing this important information with us all.
Take care, stay safe & Happy Christmas everybody. 🎅❤🙂🐶
That’s amazing, well done for cutting it out. I totally agree with you about how sweet it does taste once you have eliminated a lot of it out of your diet. Such an addictive poison if that makes any sense. :-). I hope you are keeping well.
@@BlindGirlVlogs Thank you, & Well done to you, if you've already eliminated it from your diet, or are working towards that. It takes time, took about a month for me. Course there's going to be natural sugars in things, but they just need to be eaten rarely & in small doses. Lol. It's sneakily in so many things too, & it has loads of different names, you have to get good at reading labels. Addictive Poison makes sense to me. I hope your keeping well too. Take care & Stay healthy Blind Girl Vlogs. 🎅❤🙂🐶
Great!!👍👍👍best wishes!!
@@uaebifvideo5472 Best Wishes to you too UAEBIF VIDEO. 👍🎅❤🙂🐶
@@maxibake9323 🙏🙏🙏🌹Thank you!!.
After watching this I stopped eating tons of sugar for like three weeks and now I'm healthier, and before all of this I had 7 of those symptoms 😬😬😬
Following Dr. B’s keto then carnivore reset advice for two months now. Down a solid 20lbs. I no longer have the 5lb. weight swings as before. Also able to test out my food sensitivities now that I’ve eliminated all the unnecessary junk. I’m more lactose intolerant than I ever imagined. I have been losing from the inside out. Only just beginning to have lose clothes, but I’m glad because maybe this means my organs are healing first?
Try goat's milk, it tastes sweet and it has no hormones or antibiotics
I am 64 high Blood Pressure.
152 / 82. Lot of bread and potatoes, 0%milk,.UTIs I pass a lot of kidney stones They're small. And that elevates my sugar also.went from 416 to 367 1/30/24, Started my Carnivore Diet 9 days ago, Due to my A1C going from 6.0 too 8.3, Could 99% of the bread out, Eat a small baked potato twice a day,with my meat And I drink 0% milk From drinking whole and 2%. I know I'm starting to feel my own self.
Doing this diet.
Thank you for the 11 I'm 3 of those.
Thank you DR.
I have been suffering from IBS for years and thought it’s due to my stress... thank you for linking IBS to sugar... I will watch my diet from now on
Hi Doctor, greetings to you,n everyone on your team, just wanna say I can't find enough words to say how much I appreciate your advice and caution to us about our health, thanks 👍 sooooo much, I greatly appreciate your kindness my the god of heaven Bless you n all other's on this channel ❤
I’m currently pregnant and still doing a ketovore diet. I’ve tried multiple times to incorporate fruit and every time I experience swelling in my feet/hands, body aches, and excessive thirst. However, raw milk doesn’t seem to bother me.
I have dm2 n ibs. On a Keto diet reduced my ibs symptoms a lot!
EXCELLENT VIDEO Dr. Berry!! GREAT information!
Sugar kills
I've been doing keto since January. My skin responded after several months by becoming less dry and less itchy. I'm also not constantly hungry now. But my blood sugar is still high.
KJ, add intermittent fasting. Eat your keto diet within 4 to 6 hours per day. Fast 18 to 20 hrs per day.
If your daily blood sugar is high - that means you still eat some carbs or hidden sugars.
@@_Mikekkk Not necessarily. It may also mean he's eating too much protein and not enough fat. The body will break down the protein into glucose. Look up gluconeogenesis.
Sportys Business As far as I know, body makes only as much of glucose from protein as it needs. Not all of protein. I eat a lot of protein and very little of carbs, and my blood glucose goes down constantly. My morning glucose went from 6 to 5, sometimes even to 4.6 on keto diet. And after a high protein food during the day it also going down, I check it 2 hours after - and it is always lower than before meal.
Dr. Berry, thank you for your informative videos. I have learned a lot about how the body works. I am a 66 yr old diabetic. I have high BP and high cholesterol. My last A1c was 6.0, which is the lowest it has been since I was diagnosed almost 12 years ago. My highest was 7.1. I take Metformin and since it was in good control, I didn't care what I ate. I am addicted to dark chocolate and I give in to my craving whenever it hits. Then a couple weeks ago, I checked my fasting BS and it was over 150. About that time I found your videos and started watching them. I decided to eliminate carbs altogether. Then I read about how Metformin can actually make T2 worse, so last night I decided to see what happened if I did not take it. My BS was 97 when I went to bed last night and this morning it was 112. Normally I range from 100-115 in the morning. In the 7 days since I started, I have lost over 4 pounds. My skin does not keep me awake with intense itching now and when I got up this morning I was not so stiff and I could walk a lot easier. Since 2017, I have basically lived in my power chair and it has been getting harder to stand while cook or clean afterwards. This is not going to heal my lumbar DDD nor will it replace the cartilage in my hip, but I am hoping this new way of life will eliminate some of my pain. I tried KETO once but it didn't last. This time I am eating protein and fat and eliminating plants from my diet. I truly think that because I am allergic to many plants, that I should not eat any plant based food. Thank you!!
Hello and thank you.
here is the list:
intestinal cramps
anxiety, mood change
sleep disorder
skin wrinkles
frequent urination
Been doing keto/carnevour now about two years.
Occasional sugar treats for me sometimes result in hangover type headaches.
But something weird happened just recently. While I was sick for a couple days with a sinus issue I was miserable. Fever, weak, tired, aching head. I was craving nothing but heavily buttered toast. After having some (and no other foods because everything else was unappetizing) I was very quickly relaxed and able to get quality sleep. I'm well now.
I'm a huge believer in keto/carnevour and the proper human diet. I plan on continuing for life but I'm sharing the above experience of mine to show that in a strange way maybe there is a place and a use for bread.
I. Ever tire of reviewing your videos and I being a sugar addict these ones are at my most reviewed! Thanks Dr Ken!
I don't have any of those signs while I'm IF and keto but I can seem to adopt the lifestyle full-time. I always go back for at least a while. Birthdays and holidays especially. I'm afraid I'll never completely quit sugar. Here lately I've been doing IF and keto through the week and going plum crazy on the weekends but I maintain that way at least.
Dr Ken Please make a video about Iron deficiency and Anemia. What is your advice
Unfortunately I'm a sugar addict and I have most of the symptoms described above including type 2 diabetes and ED.....I struggle to get off sugar, it's worse than alcohol addiction because there's no shame in overeating sugar.
you might want to give a try to the carnivore diet, at least for a year or so. Think about it alcoholics are not told to limit their alcohol consumption, they're told to remove all alcohol.
Even on a low carb diet you still are eating carbs and triggering cravings, removing all carbs on a carnivore diet is easier than trying to balance a bit of carbs but not too many.
If it doesn't work for you long term do it for 6 months only it should at least allow you to reset your gut microbiome and taste buds and this will help with cravings.
If your gut microbiome is made of bacteria that feeds on carbs those bacteria can trigger cravings to be fed, removing them removes that part of the cravings.
If your taste buds get used to no sweet taste it becomes harder to eat those very sweet foods.
Purge your home of sugar. Everything that has sugar in it, including the bread, toss it into a large garbage bag and take that to the dump. If it is not in your home, less temptation.
Plus... sometimes it is hard to avoid. They mask it and put it in just about EVERYTHING!!
@@mscorliss1 Hence, purge it all, go to the store and by the basic ingredients and make your food yourself. Heck, even yogurt has added sugar.
Replace sugar with stevia. I drink tea and coffee with stevia and make ice cream with it. It works fine for me.
I have older looking skin, depression and high blood pressure. After finding your channel a couple weeks ago and reducing my carbs and eliminating most sugars, my mood is noticeably better and my blood pressure is lower. I plan to continue working on it. Thank you for the valuable info!
The absolute best Keto/Carnivore doctor on the Internet!
I have High Blood pressure , belly fat and anxiety. I started drinking more water and Substitute Sugar for Honey for my tea. Thank you for sharing this important facts about sugar.
I have several of the conditions you mentioned. I eat too much wheat bread, peanut butter, don't really eat things like candy or pastries. I recently had blood taken and Dr. advised caution, I have gained weight. I'm 74, retired, and don't get enough exercise. Have had heart surgery 1/23/23. I have gone to natural peanut butter which has no sugar, so I have started to adjust.
Wow! I have something to share again to Philippines and Hong Kong folks! Thanks Doc😇💕
I have most of them... but the good news is that I am transitioning to an antiinflammatory/keto-vore diet. In the last several weeks, weight has started dropping off of me, my abdomen is much flatter, the outward signs of inflammation (psoriasis) have reduced, and I expect more good things to come! I have metabolic syndrome, fibromyalgia, two coronary artery blockages, super high cholesterol, osteo and psoriatic arthritis... oh, and 20 years of subsisting on pain meds, because I had no idea there was a better way! So I am very hopeful.
Rosacea and inability to stay asleep are gone! Thx to eliminating all sugars both processed and natural and way lowering my carb intake! No more meds for Rosacea in my life now! After 30 years on them. 👍
Appreciate the info - I have 4 of the symptoms you mentioned. Weight gain (20 lbs in a year) older looking skin, feeling depressed , and insomnia. In second week of Keto- feeling absolutely giddy in the am and most of the day. Is there a such thing as a “Keto high”?😂 if so I think I have discovered it!!!!!
thankfully I never had a sweet tooth but was weak for melons and most fruits. Now no more of that, except berries and in moderation, my whole body is slowly saying thank you.
Today I am one month low carb and no sugar. I am 7kgs lighter. I sleep better.. I immediately noticed better bowel movements. I miss eating lots of fruit, but the super steaks taste so much sweeter without the chips. The best thing is that I feel that I have seized back control of my body. I know that more weight will go, so I am being patient for that.
Nice comments and video. I gave up sugar and now no longer have tooth pain, my asthma has improved and best of all, I don't have those horrible mood/hunger swings throughout the day. But to do this properly I take my glasses with me when I shop and read labels (which I did not used to do!) Fructose, artificial sweeteners etc are even worse than natural sugar. I had to educate myself about these things because food companies disguise them. I try to avoid anything processed - just eat natural. If it's in plastic it's probably not without added ingredients.
always a great video, you are the perfect combination of solid information, while yet presenting it in a way we can all understand. ;)
Thanks so much for all your input, Dr. Berry. I have 8 of these, but have started cutting carbs and have already dropped some weight. There is so much confusion out there and I now listen to you and Dr. Westman and I am reversing all the harm done to myself over the decades. Having FH, I did the "low fat" eating for decades and nothing improved. Then I developed diabetes thanks to statins and things steadily got worse until I came across your videos (and Dr. Westman's) and I have been doing a LOT of listening since then. Once one knows what to do, it becomes so much easier. I want to get off a bunch of meds I am on and have already stopped two of them. Seeing some signs of improvement, but it's still early days for me. Your videos are life-saving. Blessings on you.
Gave up sugar 2-1/2 years ago when I went ‘keto’..... horrible withdrawal for a good solid week.... but well with it!!! (Just shared this with a few people I know have sugar issues)
I definitely relate with withdrawal symptoms from sugar. Oh goodness me, it’s awful. The damage it does to the body is just shocking. Sounds like you are doing great, so keep it up. Keep safe and well
Yay! New video!! Much love to you and your family!
Still loving you in Shreveport.
Thank you for all you do!
I've been on Keto for two weeks now and I swear it has already cleared up a skin problem I had. I also eat only twice a day now sometimes once a day. I did weight 185, now I weight 170. Did I mention I'm 68. I'm very active because I live in Colorado and love the outdoors. No I'll effects at all.
I love your content, it has helped me over the past two year's.
I used to have these isues before. But now after Keto and Fasting getting recovered. Great video Sir.
Thanks for this video. Have a blessed Thanksgiving and Christmas
I had them all. I am Carnivore, zero sugar and carbs now. Life is better.
Thank you for getting to the point...11 fast and quick. None of the above
Wow great informative tips thank you
Six months now without sugar in any form and my morning woodie is back.
TMI ☺️
Sugar is really difficult to stop, but I've noticed as I have decreased over the past few years, it doesn't taste that great anymore and I actually get mouth ulcers and little blisters on my lips if I eat added sugar crap carb foods. I'm a recovering carb/sugar holic as most people are!! And these symptoms are more what happens now since reducing my intake. You would think this should make it easy to give up, but I'm human and unfortunately relapse 🙈but taking each day as they come, and I know I've changed so much with my good choices in the last 4years so that's a plus 😊
Thank you always for your content ❤
Thank you Doctor. I have downloaded it to share.
I had 10 of those signs before they diagnosed me. Complained for years. They upped the dose of xanax for the anxiety. Bloodwork showed for 4 years I was a raging diabetic. I talked to the dietician and thought you know what, you are out of your mind. Thank you VA for being COMPLETELY WRONG AGAIN! Down to 25 carbs a day, lost near 30 lbs, blood pressure back to normal, off two of the three meds for diabetes and then I ate shrimp tonight dipped in cocktail sauce, SPIKE. That's off the list, hidden sugar. I'll toss the rest of the shrimp in olive oil, garlic and lemon juice tomorrow. Backing off the xanax gradually, sleep better than I have in years.
Acne,Fat, depressions/Anxiety, Sleep probably, Sickness
Thank you for all the wonderful information. I love your videos!! Keep up the great work 👍
I started the keto diet in August, with it turning into carnivore/ketovore after a few weeks. I had weaned myself off of sugar with different sweeteners like monkfruit, xylitol, or erythritol. I only had it once a day in my coffee. When toying with the idea of fasting, I decided to give up the sweeteners as well. Within TWO DAYS, the "eczema" on my hands was gone! No more inflammation or cracked skin! My husband experiments with ancient grain flours sometimes for baking, but one day we chose something else the local grocer had in stock. Bad idea. Inflammed skin. Enkhorn flour doesn't seem to bother me. So I don't have eczema, I have a reaction to a plant based food. I can't wait to tell my doctor! 🤣
Thank you Doctor...
I keep waking up in the night, and I was thinking it was due to anxiety/depression, but after seeing this video, I can now see the writing on the wall. After another night of waking up from just a few hours of sleep, I came across this video. The doctor revealed a shocking side effect I didn’t suspect until now…my chronic thirst, which feels like a chronic sore throat. For decades, I’d treat my sore throats with cough drops…which contain sugar! A catch-22, for sure. And once I go down that rabbit hole of consuming sugar…my body wants more sugar!
I have at least 8 of these. I’m addicted to sweet tea and Dr Pepper. I am desperately trying to find my will power to go keto. 🙏 Thank you, Dr. Berry, fir all your helpful and encouraging videos. They give me so much hope!
Have none of these anymore. Didn’t think about acne/breakouts, but it has definitely been over a year for me. It’s crazy how just about everything is related to sugar.
Hi, I just thought I'd share this.
Almost all brands of toothpaste and mouthwash contain sugar in the form of Sucralose.
Which is listed on ingredients of the product.
I put this to the test recently using the Listerine 10 in 1 Zero alcohol mouthwash.
I fasted for 36 hours then consumed 100ml of the mouthwash (I don't recommend people do this).
The results on my blood glucose was almost identical to the diabetes blood glucose 2 hour test!
Thanks for this
Unfortunately i have almost all symptoms Dr Berry, thank you for all the information you give us, really appreciate it 😊
Love your videos Dr Berry! Keep up the good work!!
Thank you,Doctor!!!
I have left sugar permanently since 2012, and I do not drink gas and energy. Believe me, I have not been sick since then, and I feel that my immune system has increased and many other changes have occurred in my body, so I will never allow myself to return to sugar again
_"..., I do not drink gas and energy."_ What?
@@KenJackson_US I mean Pepsi and Coca-cola, and energy drinks
Wow! I have insomnia, diarrhea and frequent thirst. I'm doing like my dog and going grain and sugar free. I had no clue..
Hi. Yes, sugar free and grain free!!! Good job. Eat meat and fat with less than 20g total carbs per day. You can do it!
Yes I experienced all of these
These are all so true! Would you be able to put your videos on Rumble as well as UA-cam?
Never heard of "Rumble."
I have a few of these! I was very surprised by some such as it causing high blood pressure, as you say I avoid adding salt to anything for that reason but am guilty of having a sweet tooth! Thanks for the video 🙂
Thank you for your wise words. The question in regards to which symptoms I have, I have experienced all of them just not at the same time. How long does it take to rid your body from the craving sugar?
Thank you Doctor my A1C is 5.0 dr. Told me good job in taking ur metformin I said I never did it's all fasting and keto
I have none of the symptoms. Diagnosed T2 in May with 12.3 A1C. Down to 5.3 A1C by August. I went low carb (under 30 grams per day), no sugar. Down over35 lbs. On Metformin only, now.
Consult your doc, I don't think now you need metformin.
