We all know sugar is everywhere and in almost everything. We know it’s not the best for us, we know we probably consume too much of it.
But what if you broke your addiction? What if you no longer NEEDED that piece of cake or felt bad after having some chocolate?
In this video, I want to share my sugar journey and how I haven’t been addicted to refined sugars for almost 10 years.
It’s a pretty sweet life 🌈

I love your balanced approach to living "sugar-free". It's not all or nothing. It's more about health and self love, than restricting yourself. The point you made at the end is really important. You can have a little refined sugar from time to time. The body can definitely handle it. In my opinion UPF is more evil to the health of the human body, than a little table sugar. Good on you!!!

Wtf ? Fruit Sugar is good it's fructose which is good for health and body needs it where added sugar or refined sugar are not needed for body, but too much of anything is bad so no over eating

@belendelrocio9598 2 года назад

@@LearningNew365 I agree with you, everything should be done in moderation. The problem with fructose is, (not only the GI is high) for people trying to lose weight or control their levels of insulin, that only the liver can process fructose, no other cell in your body will help to process fructose, so it lingers in the liver until the liver can process it. And only when your liver is deprive of all sugars will start producing it own insulin and burning your own fat as fuel. So, in small amounts, to a person that doesn't need to lose weight or is not sick, sure, is ok, like you said. Moderation is the key. thank you for your reply.

I’m on day 6 of no sugar and it’s KILLING ME!!! I want cookie dough, ice cream, Oreos, and pancakes, so so badly. I had to look away from the screen in the beginning. It’s crazy how addictive it is. Edit: the foods she showed to swap out also have sugar in them ☹️ Edit Day 9: The intro didn't faze me. I found recipes really low in sugar so maybe it's cheating? The added sugar is 1 teaspoon of honey and a little bit of almond butter... Overall like 7 grams of added sugar in this dessert- the rest is banana and some other things. I don't crave things as much as I used to but I'm scared that's because of the extra little splash of sugar I mentioned Edit: day 11 I think I broke. I had bread that has sugar in it. No regrets. Oh and I made my own pasta sauce!! 10/10

@@leahdudash9421 i first started by going from hummingbird drinking a 6 pack a day on average of Mountain Dew. I quit drinking soda by reducing it little by little with club soda until it was hardly any Mountain Dew then found some inexpensive real lime flavored seltzer water and started drinking that instead. Then recently i had been moving twords a much more healthy diet because over the years i am seeing symptoms of pre diabetis as well as high blood pressure, getting around 200 lbs, etc Well to make this a long story i told my cousin once when she was going to the dentist, that if we only ate good vegetables and meat like nature intended we wouldnt have dental problems. That remark kept sticking in my head for the last 5 years. So when i got my most recent dog i decided i was going to feed him as nature intended by making his dog food with 90 percent meat, bones, skin and organs and very little vegetables at all. So to finish the point i was coming up on an annual physical and decided it was time for a lifestyle change. On October 11th a monday morning i started the program. Coffee with heavy cream 8 grams of 80% cacao chocolate, followed by 60 minutes of cardio 5 days a week. No breakfast big lunch primarily a steak, half avocado, sauerkraut, baby green salad with red onion, pepperocini peppers, fetta an an olive oil or avocado oil base dressing. Then for dinner early evening before 7 pm, a light meal like a piece of raw salmon. If i snack its small handful of brazil, macadamia nuts, pumpkin seeds, pickles or green olives. Do this program 5 days a week then eat pretty light on the week ends. So far its worked well lost around 16 lbs in a month and off my blood pressure meds. Im no longer hungry and like that tiny bit of chocolate in am i could do without its not important in terms of the sweetness, its about the anti oxidant properties and i burn it immediately with exercise. Fact is everything that has sugar or tends to be sweet is sickly sweet now. Doesn’t taste good anymore.

@GregariousAntithesis 2 года назад

@@leahdudash9421 i forgot my point about making my own dog food. He is 2 years old and his teeth are spotless, no brushing required. His breath never stinks and his poop is small and compact and not smelly, it dries up white as snow and disintegrates within a few days during the summer. I add canned pumpkin, turnip and mustard greens, kelp and some blue berries to the food i make for him out of 90% chicken leg quarters, livers, hearts and gizzards as well as some green beef tripe and s half of a sockeye salmon. I grind it all up in a meat grinder skin, bones and meat and blend it together by hand then stuff it into sausage chubs and freeze it then cut it into 4 oz servings with a band saw. I also smoke pork neck bones for him and cut up pig heads into chunks for him with the band saw. Oh snd he gets a chicken foot for breakfast every morning. It sounds rather involved but i make enough ground food to last my 20 lb dog 6 months and cutting up a frozen pigs head with a band saw is relatively quick. To get to the point the garbage they use to make dry dog food is 70% plant based and only 30% protein max. Dogs are largely carnivorous but can tolerate some vegetables from adapting to living with humans. Bottom line is they were never meant to eat 70% plant based diets and look what it does to them. The same issues it does to us. Rots their teeth, makes them fat and unhealthy and im willing to bet, a lot of the diseases they face like cancers, etc are completely diet related. So we shall see if i am correct in that this is the first dog i have never fed dog food to that i have owned. He is the second of the same breed and his predecessor lived to 13 until his back hips quit working. Im betting this dog will live to at least 15 without health issues. Will be interesting to see and it directly relates to the carnivore/keto diet we are doing.

@spirals73 5 месяцев назад

I think it's important to note that for all intents and purposes, at least in my case, all starch is sugar as well. It affects my pancreas the same way and I'm in danger of type 2 diabetes. So not only do I have to severely limit my sugar consumption, but I have to do it as a whole along with any kind of starch. That's especially hard. My mom has type 2 and has medications that artificially keep her glucose in check so she eats whatever she wants. She'll never stop trying to satisfy that sweet tooth and meanwhile, milk and avocadoes taste sweet to me now because of the restriction. It makes for a difficult situation, being around her many sweets. Right now there is a huge slab of chocolate cake and two giant pastries that if laid side to side, are a foot wide. That's in addition to all the cake mixes and cans of frosting, many varieties of white bread, several boxes of cookies, and on and on. Truly some sugar addicts in my house while I'm trying to avoid not only it, but all the white flour they eat. It's maddening but I'm hesitant to move because I'm heading toward being Mom's caregiver when this finally catches up with her. Oh, and edited to add: there are 14 candy dishes in our house. Fourteen. That's my brother's doing.

the whole idea is impressive but all the swaps are also containing sugar, which means it's not a cold Turkey quitting, it's just the change of source, actually I implemented similar swap choices when I was a teen and wound up consuming more sugar. because I assumed that natural and unprocessed sugar isn't sugar. but 100 gram honey alone contains 1.5 times more sugar than the same amount of processed milk chocolate . and although they all say honey contains a bulk of antioxidants, its sugar can still affect the body in all ways that processed sugar will. Besides, as I hadn't completely cut out sugar with these kinds of snacks being part of my diet I still had my cravings and insulin tolerance. sometimes I used to over snack and with every relapse on my diet I would over indulge sugary products.

@SannaJankarin Год назад

First of all, fruit is OK because it digested differently due to it's nutrițional content. Honey and other syrups are mostly the same to sugar. But using low amount of natural sweeteners (Stevia rebaudiana, monkfruit, Yacon syrup and erythytol) is OK and some cases, somewhat beneficial (in the case of monkfruit and Yacon syrup). Because they have the glycemic index of zero.

Thank you for this video! im trying to leave my sugar addiction... i have stopped with soft drinks but its been really hard for me to cut foods that im used to like chocolate milk, chocolate portions after a meal or cookies... Anyway, do you think stopping eating sugar could be also affecting your mental health positively?

@lauren_hogg 3 года назад

Hey Milena! I think it has helped my mental health for two main reasons: 1. I don't experience sugar crashes or big lapses in energy that come with refined sugar and, 2. I don't feel guilty about eating sugar or not as, as I have broken the addiction, I don't crave it and therefore won't binge or, when I do have it, I only have the amount I want and that's enough. I wish you all the best and remember to be kind to yourself on this. It's a really difficult thing to do, but something I feel is very worthwhile and I really hope you can experience that too!

@jocelynreyes4005 3 года назад

Hi excellent video thank you for sharing, how often do you find yourself eating sugar now ?

@lauren_hogg 3 года назад

Hey Jocelyn 😊 I have some dark chocolate every night and then only really on special occasions (birthday's, Christmas, Easter, date nights etc). When my period is coming, I always crave heaps of chocolate and many some lollies or biscuits so I'll have some of those too every month or so 😊

I have dealt with extreme insulin resistance thank god it didn’t turn to diabetes even though I’m severely underweight…so I decided to go completely cold turkey on sugar not take it in moderation but erase it from my life I swear I’ve never been so calm and happy and not addicted to the dopamine rush….to be boldly honest sugar is a substance with a HIGH addictive side….a very high one too…if we are eating it since we are children we no longer recognize the normal…. I’ll never feed my children any thing related to an addictive compound in the first years of their development

@jeffreymichael540 2 года назад

I tried quitting sugar then within a week I had severe headache. Happened a few times in the office annd while I was far from home at a bank. It scared the living crap outta me and I never tried again. I want to quit sugar but that nausia/ headache thing is my biggest fear, still trying to build courage through some sugar quitting videos.

@tigerlily5416 2 года назад

Yes such is normal. Your body is showing withdrawal symptoms and so you start to have headaches and feel tired and all those other things but I promise if you are able to overcome that hurdle and persist after that time then you would find yourself feeling much better at the end of the day. If you are scared of feeling that way then I think you should look for a time where you are less busy I won't be going out as much as often so that if anything happens you would be at home to rest

You probably need to toughen up. Try a crippling migraine for 3 days every month for 25 years. Puking so hard you can't hold down water much less medication. Thats just called PMS.

@scottt5570 8 месяцев назад

Hey, sorry to be the bearer of bad news but fruit juice you squeezed yourself contains sugar, so does honey, maple syrup, bread, fruit, pasta, yogurt, any carbs etc. You have not given up sugar as the title suggests. You have supplemented your refined sugar for natural sugars. It's nice to be positive and provide well meaning content but it's not factual. Next video is how I gave up using my phone but still film my videos on my phone and email from it, also research and fact check on my phone and also message or call friends and family but have given up using my phone. Next video, why I would never smoke but here's a tip, try burning tobacco leaves in a small room and breathing deep, traditional pipes make giving up smoking easy and hookah cafes for the win, insert other silly examples etc etc etc 😢

@clacicle Год назад

This is great and I’ve also started breaking this addiction. However, it’s important to know that our bodies don’t distinguish between natural sugar, fruit sugar, refined sugar. Fructose the sugar in fruit is actually worse for us because it goes straight to our liver and is stored as fat. This is why fruit juice is so terrible. Honey, maple syrup, etc are all sugar. That said, consuming moderate amounts of fruit and things like honey etc is fine for most of us, but we need to be very careful. I used to consume massive amounts of fruit thinking it was healthy, but ended up with early stages of fatty liver disease. I’ve cut back dramatically. Bread and other starches are also problematic when consumed in large quantities because the once we eat them they’re converted into sugar as well. This was my problem as well.

Sugar is very difficult to quit. I turned to home baking rather than store-bought. At last that way I know exactly what’s going into what I eat. I also quit UPF about 6 months ago - the best decision I ever made.
