How to BREAK Sugar Addiction: Tips To Help You Lose Weight and Belly Fat Fast 

Long story short, I came from a large family. 9 children and there was very little food to feed us. Went to bed hungry most nights. So when I grew up, I decided that I didn’t want to be hungry any longer. I had my own money and I began to eat all the food I wanted and all the food I had been deprived of. No more hunger. So in the meantime, I gained 100 pounds over a few years and developed diabetes. I said enough is enough and took hold of the situation and now I am down to a normal weight and I maintain it. I omitted all the sugar and junk food. By the way, I battled a brain tumor during this time. I realized that if I can get thru a brain tumor removal, I can do anything. Thank you Jesus.

I was 340 lbs. I lost 120lbs. I had high blood pressure and was not feeling good at all. I had an encounter with the Lord Jesus and it changed everything. I workout regularly riding my bike or jogging, and try not to eat fast food or processed foods as well. I also do fasting which helps me tremendously. I am on a 40 day fast of no food just water. I'm on day 33 right now and I've lost another 48lbs so far. Eating fresh organic foods is the best thing for us. Here in the United States the food is meant to slowly kill us and keep big pharma companies rich off us being sick from the fake food we eat. It's terrible when you actually see the truth behind it.

I have to loose 90 lbs. I just found your channel, I’m going to start making the food you make on here. I NEED to change everything. Thank you for this video.

I was diagnosed borderline diabetic/ insulin resistant a few months ago. You and your channel have been an inspiration to me and has helped me lose 35+ pounds in just 3 short months. My goal is to lose another 40. I have reversed my high blood pressure, my bad cholesterol, and my blood sugar levels are getting back to normal again.This channel has helped me find foods i really enjoy that i can actually eat, so thank you from the bottom of my heart.

Hit my highest weight (rock bottom) at 377 4 months ago! Since, I have lost 58 lbs. and feel amazing! I still have ways to go but I am so motivated! I have changed my diet (intermittent fasting, low carb, high protein diet), exercise (walking daily), and consistent sleep schedule. Your videos are such an inspiration! Thank you so much!

It took me 2 years to go from 275 lbs to 188lbs. I still have 20 lbs to go. I am a sugar addict. It doesn't go away, I had to severely reduce it. Ice cream is a trigger food for me. Everyday is one step forward. It's a lifelong process. I'm 40 and I wish I had done this earlier in life.

It took me until I was in my 60’s to finally get real about my obesity and health. I have lost 90 pounds in the last 2 years. I’ve got 50 more to go. As a child of alcoholics I was/ am addicted to sugar. I still cannot kick the cravings completely. For me it has to be all or nothing. Even one little sweet treat can send me spiraling out of control. On the back of Primal Kitchen products the found says” eat like your life depends on it” I love that quote, it is so true. My other mantra ( although I don’t always abide by it) is, you can’t eat it if you don’t bring it in the house. Good luck everyone. It takes a lot of strength and dedication.

I stopped the sugar and lost over a hundred pounds , I weighed 359 now i'm 250 & i feel so much better now! I love your videos / Have A HAPPY & HEALTHY NEW YEAR

I lost 90 lbs in less than 5 months!! Quit all sugar, I’m keeping to a low carb diet, no junk food and walking 2-3 hrs a day 6 days a week. Still have another 100 lbs to go but I’m really glad I found your channel cuz I freakin LOVE pizza and can’t wait to try your recipes

Yep, THAT PICTURE 👀when I stopped eating processed foods my hotflashes stopped and my sinus cleared totally I couldn't believe it.

You are amazing! I feel like I have zero control over my sugar addiction. I need to lose 50 lbs, it is overwhelming. Thank you for being so inspiring ❤

I'm addicted to sugar.

You described the Standard American diet. I’m Mexican American as well so I grew up eating beans and rice and hearty, healthy food when my mom was off of work and then fending for myself the days she worked which were a lot. So she stocked us up with stuff that was easy for us to make (boxed Mac & Cheese, canned soups, frozen burritos, pizzas, etc) my whole life I’ve been trying to overcome those habits and food addictions. It’s hard!!

My wake up call was being diagnosed with Non Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease. On July 1, 2023 I started a low carb diet. I was 268lbs that day. Today, 12/27/23, I weighed in at 190lbs. I've still got some pounds to go, but the journey has been incredible, and rewarding. I've gone from a 2XL shirt to a large. My liver function blood tests are normal. I had microscopic blood in my urine for 10+ years. It's gone. Blood pressure medication for 15+ years. Gone. Erectile Disfunction. Gone. Sleep apnea. Gone! And you're 100% correct. The cravings stop. I was walking by Christmas snacks all week at work. Never felt the desire to have one. You can actually beat the food processors. And it feels great.

I lost 32 lbs doing a low carb diet and lifting weights. My one tip that really has been my go to is making a bigger dinner so that you have lunch for tomorrow! Each and every day. This helped on those days where I’m heavy in work meetings and the last thing I want to do is figure out what to make for lunch. I already know what’s for lunch and it’s not going to ruin my eating plan!

I've been on my own journey dealing with sugar addiction and weight gain, so stumbling upon Myra's story was eye-opening. Her openness about her struggles and practical tips, like focusing on healthier foods and understanding triggers, shed light on the Aspect Health in managing weight and addiction.

I just found this Bible Proverb. Proverb 27:7 A satisfied soul loathes the honeycomb, but to a hungry soul every bitter thing is sweet. Your soul is your mind your will and your emotions. This proverb has changed my heart and my sugar addition. God bless!

I have struggled all my life with my weight, and I am addicted to sugar. I am now in my late 60"s and yes I still struggle. Hearing you talk about sugar was like a eye opener!! I eat sugar all day, will even eat sugary things over real food. I will start today (again on this journey) thank you so much!! Lynn

I love the way you just decided “ this is the day “ and really changed your eating routine.

I lost 110 pounds in 10 months ..kept it off for 4 years. Then covid hit...gained about 20...then my beautiful mom got sick and being her caregiver and watching her suffer daily took its toll. When she passed away unexpectedly I went into a rabbit hole of grief and depression and gained at least 50 more. But, grief and sadness aren't excuses to neglect yourself and your goals and your temple. My turning point was going to the store and not being able to fit some 'baggy' size 16 jeans. I didn't harp on myself. I gave myself grace and love and understanding. Bought the jeans and decided right there in that dressing room that I owed it to myself to be my best. To get back to discipline and being proud of my reflection. I'm back on this horse like I never left and I feel great. To anyone reading this, you can do it. You have control of yourself. You are powerful beyond belief. Just do it. Sent with love.

Hi Myra!! I want to start of by saying, I love your content. You are one of my favorite Instagram pages. I was addicted to sugar and processed foods. I decided to make a lifestyle change 01/05/2021 to quit sugar and eat keto. I found out I have hyperthyroidism and My weight was 286. My 3 year anniversary of keto/no sugar is coming up. I’ve lost 135 pounds and kicked my sugar/processed food addiction. I’m so proud of myself. Thank you for sharing your story ❤❤❤

I do so relate to your story!! I’m 51 yo and have been overweight for over 30 years. Hit 280lbs but didn’t feel it. Just like you I knew I was overweight but that didn’t really bothered me. I didn’t own a scale so I really didn’t know I was so heavy. Until one day I went into my son’s room and he had bought a scale for himself and I decided to weigh myself…what a shock!! 280lbs!!!! I felt something click and right there and then I decided that I needed to do something or else…that was August/23. Today, 12/27/23 I hit 230lbs so, 50lbs less and I know I still have that much to loose…but I’m not doing any crazy diets I’m just trying to reeducate myself and trying to better my relationship with food. It’s a fight! A hard one at that! But I know I can do it!!! I’m doing it!!

I like how honest and genuine you are. You're so relatable.

Your story sounds incredibly similar to mine! Sugar was my addiction. A graduation picture was my sobering moment. I cried looking at the person I saw! Now, > 60Ibs lost and over 1 year later, I’m still triggered by cake. I legit get depressed when the serving size is over and struggle with sugar for days after I eat it. Thank you bc now know I need to avoid it no matter the occasion & swap it instead. I’d never thought of it how you explained it. I thank God for your channel! Keep em coming and God bless ❤

You are not alone in your story as it is mine as well. I really feel my terrible food choices caused so much angst in my life, caused me to be hypothyroid, but finally I’m following low carb and it’s working! I love your honesty and your willingness to share your great recipes and tips with us!

I relate so much to you! Most of my weight gain is from childhood and my diet was absolutely the same as you as a child. Luckily today (31 years old) I am still overweight but I was able to transform most of my fat weight into muscle weight and my diet has dramatically changed, I focus on what gut needs (polyphenols, and everything gut needs to be in optimal shape).I still have some sugar addiction but it has nothing to do with where I used to be. I feel I am making small changes every single day. You inspire me SO much!

I’ve been struggling to lose the last 10-15 lbs of baby weight and I’ve decided it time to make some changes. I’ve been calorie counting regularly, I did a sugar detox, I cook most of my food, and I’m focusing on protein, fiber, and healthy fats. I’ stop eating after dinner. I’m starting to lose weight and I feel great! I initially did this for weight loss but I love how avoiding most processed foods and eating more clean ingredients is improving my gut health, I have less headaches, more stable energy, less bloating, clearer skin and even stronger thicker nails. In 10 days I’ve lost 2 lbs and I know more is to come. I know if I can make this a lifestyle I will get the physique and health I want.

This is a really good sit down conversation, Myra. Love this type of content from you. ❤️

I’m 42 and just diagnosed with Diabetes type 2. I’m so ready to make that turn around. This is an extremely inspiring video. I think I’ve always been so confident In myself I’ve been in denial of a reason to change. This diagnosis and my chronic lack of energy are what’s really pushing me to flip the switch. Can’t wait to watch more.

Thank you your story is inspiring. I’ve had a weight problem most of my life. I’ve listened to 60 lbs in 2016 and feeling great!!! My husband retired in 2018 and ALL my weight is back on 😢 what a struggle it is for me. I need to get motivated again!!

I have about 65 lbs to lose overall and down 10 so far. I am almost 45 and it is harder than it used to be but I am making a small dent in it so far. Hearing your story is great as most, were never really “obese” and just had a little weight to lose to be healthier. Thanks for sharing.

no carbs and sugar has helped me out so much !! i was having stomach pains headaches heart burn joint pain and it’s all gone after cutting out auger and carbs and read your ingredients

LOVE everything about this video!!! The vibe, the music, you look amazing and what a great message! It's so cool how you came to the conclusion YOURSELF and made it happen YOURSELF! No parents or bully pressure to do it! Girl you have a lot of willpower! Love you M!!!

I must tell you, you've done an amazing job!! I'm def addicted to sugar and have been fighting it for MANY years!! I have Hypothyroidism. I've been on keto for the last 3 years and it's helped me a lot.

I am 5' 3" have a small frame and recently saw that I was about to be over 200 lbs. I steadily gained over the course of 4 pregnancies, and found myself not caring about food choices or exercise because childcare took precedence over every aspect of my life. I recently have cut out all sugar and junk food, going on two months now, and like you said, not eating the sugar takes away the cravings for sugar. I saw your recipes online years ago, you make some amazing snacks and meals. Looking forward to taking all of my excess weight off. Thanks for sharing your story.

Thanks for all your help and honesty. I cut out sugar and it does a world of a difference. You feel so much better and less fatigue it’s crazy how great you feel when you eliminate sugar and carbs. Thank you so much!!

Thanks for the great videos. I've sent people here for sometime now. Hopefully, my story will help others. I'm 80, male, 5'6 and have weighed 195 for years. In spite of being that heavy my health is good for an 80 year old. Other than when the temp is below 55, I ride a bike daily 25 miles. I wasn't losing any weight. A friend of mine unable to get out of her wheelchair had lost 100# over 3 years. That motivated me to get with it. I went low carb and a modified Keto diet and skip breakfast and lunch. What people don't realize is that your body/brain will fight you. I didn't lose a pound for 2 weeks, then I lost 4 and a plateau. After a few days 5 more and another plateau. After about 6 months I'm plateaued at 25# , heading for 30-35#. I found that you are surprisingly not hungry skipping the 2 meals. It's too cold to ride the bike for a month or so now. I'm lazy so I'm not exercising which might explain the 25# plateau. IMO the trick is to stick with it and accept the fact that it will take time. If I "need" a snack, I eat olives, a hard boiled egg or Pecans. Your recipes really help for variety. I'm down two pant sizes, and my blood work is better than it has been in 20 years. Obviously, when you hit your planned weight you CAN NOT go back to your old habits. I hope that at some point your brain will adapt to your new weight and not be fighting you. I have found that you can cheat a little, as like going out to eat, and some alcohol. Congrats on your mission. Just remember a 25 miles walk starts with 1 step.

I really needed this video today! I just had my appointment today to follow up on blood test results and I am borderline diabetic so time is now to make these lifestyle changes for me and my son!

Ordered the DS-01 Daily Synbiotic. You sold it for me throughout different videos, so my family and I will try it. Thanks for the plug and the discount🙏.

Wow, I have listened to so many podcasts, fitness coaches, and more and this was honestly the most helpful and real honest thing I have seen. Thank you for this video.

Out of all the people I've watched and followed you ARE the most non judgemental & relatable person. Deeply appreciated!!! Eating disorders beginning the mind!! Hugs!! I used to weigh 360, down to 275. Many food allergies & mostly vegetarian with fish! Sometimes I want animal protein yet after awhile I get burned out. The struggle will be conquered!!! Mostly doing LCHF:) MUAH❤

Thank you! I’ve been struggling to lose my last 10 lbs since July and needed to hear this! the information you gave on trigger foods is so real and i never looked at it this way. i currently have an online trainer who provides meals and a lot have a little bit of sweets to help with cravings, but sugar really is a trigger food for me. i completely binge and not just sugar. i love snacking and need to just completely stay away from anything in a bag!!

My change moment happened a couple of weeks ago. I’m a singer and the doctor told me acid reflux is hurting my voice. I have been tracking my symptoms and noticed that heavy carbs esp before bed trigger it. I have known for years that I feel best on low carb but now I finally have the will to change and sought you out, you’re so inspiring and beautiful!

Great video Mayra. Sugar and carb addiction is literally the devil. Its a hard habit to break for sure. I've kept 70 pounds off. But once I start on the keto treats and chips, its hard to stop those too. I don' t deny myself anything but I keep it to a minimum as most processed foods inflame my body. My weight is now good, but I want to lose 5 more pounds and it is a struggle for sure. Have a happy New Years.

You're such an inspiration ..love all your recipes n videos lost 86 lbs following keto n low carb n yes once u cut sugar u stop craving let me know where I can share my before and after pic

I lost 60 pounds. I am diabetic with thyroid. You are a inspiration ❤🥰😍😘

You are so helpful! I started watching you in 2021 when I started KETO it came so easy to me! I loved all your recipes . I dropped 15 lbs. that put me at 115 I was euphoric. I moved , got a new job, got engaged it was a dream! Now 2 years later I stoped KETO and gained 22 lbs. I have never experienced being overweight until now . I am 60 years old. This video is just what I needed to see today thank you for your testimony. I am getting control of my eating behaviors today! Praise God. The goal is to be back to myself by January 29 th 2024my 2 nd year wedding anniversary It’s December 27 th.2023 ❤ your videos!

How refreshing to hear your honest journey. I’m 56 years old and have been diagnosed with fatty liver. I almost never eat processed food but I do love bread ( and tortillas, I’m Mexican ). I loved your line ‘avoid your triggers’. Could you make a video letting us know what you did whenever you felt the ‘urge’ to have something sweet? This happens to me late in the evening, and although I don’t have any sugar or sugary treats in the house, I find myself eating cherry tomatoes or a couple of pieces of fruit even when I know I am not hungry and it is just my body falling into all patterns. Thank you for your honesty and keep the videos coming please!

In 2016, I had my ah-ha moment. At that time, I weighed 298 pounds - the most I had ever weighed. My niece was visiting me and said "Let's do your eyebrows. They look better if they're filled in - they make you look younger." That was it. That was all that it took. The bell went off in my head and I thought, "She CARES. She cares about how I look". I started my change that day. Over the next two years, I lost 120 pounds. Now, it's 3 more years and I've gained back 82. I had allowed myself to have one onion ring. Then two, then more and more. I stopped tracking my food and thought that I could maintain... I stopped exercising as frequently (we moved and I didn't have a gym). I've had a lot of physical issues in the past 3 years and I've used them as excuses. But I am finally motivated again to get back on the wagon. I'm 53 and have had a hysterectomy, so I'm not sure how "easily" the pounds will come off, but I know that I will FEEL better. Thank you for the advice!

Really good video Myra. Please share any tips and tricks on how to get back on track when you fall out of ketosis. If you measured macros or weight during your personal weight loss journey or since it’s been so long what would you do if you started today. Thanks so much ! 🙏🏽 ❤

You are so right about identifying those trigger foods, and then avoiding them!

I'm SO GLAD you touched on the mental aspects of gaining/losing weight. Sugar is definitely an addiction. I cut sugar 2 years ago due to being diagnosed as type 2 diabetic. My A1C was 10.9 and it was the only advice my doctor gave me. He put me on Metformin and it made me feel like absolute garbage. Within 2 weeks I was back in his office trying to go over other options. He told me he didn't feel comfortable taking me off the medication, but I told him I wasn't going to take it, so why bother prescribing it? I would NOT suggest to anyone to stop doing what their doctor's tell them. I just knew, for myself, that this was not the option that made me feel good. I cut out sugars and processed foods. I ate whole foods and salads. I brought my A1C to a 7 in 3 months and then to 5.6 in another 3 months. So, I went from an A1C of 10.9 to 5.6 in 6 months by cutting sugars and processed foods. After almost a year of eating healthy, I fell off the wagon. I call it a "relapse." Holidays were here and there's so many cookies, pastries, pies, and snacks. There's mac and cheese, cornbread, and tons of processed foods. I'll never forget the day it happened. "Just one cookie," I thought to myself. One cookie turned into a huge downward spiral, because then it was another, and another, and before I knew it I was in a Dunkin' Donuts drivethru ordering donuts. Once I realized what was happening, I felt so defeated. I felt like I deserved to be overweight. I deserved to be disgusted with my body. After all, it was MY fault. So again, THANK YOU for talking about the mental aspects of this. I believe everyone has their vices. Mine happens to be food. I'm thankful I know this about myself now. I'm very thankful I found your channel. I'm here to support you and others battle this addiction and be free from it. I'm here to learn some tasty recipes. I also struggle with portion control, so the better the food, the better it is for me in the long run. Doing the keto diet caused a spike in my cholesterol levels. Being diabetic, I worry about the effects of food on my heart. I'm interested in all things recipe, the mental health part of it, and to get an idea of new things I'd like to try. I can't do almond milk. Almonds tend to mess with my stomach. I also have to be careful of my fat intake because I no longer have a gallbladder to process it. My goal is to lose 140 lbs. I've already lost 100 in the last couple years. I can do this! Thanks again for your help. I'm so thankful I found your channel!

I would love to know details on your bloodwork. I lost 30 pounds and you definitely helped me on some guidelines on better gut health choices. I am getting bloodwork done early January and would love to hear what your results are. Thank you for taking the time to discuss sugar and how you took steps toward leaving sugar! ❤

I would love to see you create a step by step course to walk us all through the process of changing our diets. Just full on information on how our bodies process things, the WHY behind it, encouragement videos along the way, recipes for making comfort food healthy so we don't feel like we're missing out, etc.

Thank you so much!! This was lovely! And love ld the shout out to your family. Very sweet.

I have been Whole Foods all year and lost 40 lbs I am going for abs at 53 this next year/January 2024! I have decided to quit sugar completely for 31 days. The last 3 minutes of your video was very helpful. The mental is real. Thanks for sharing. Happy New Year!

This video has been the MOST helpful. I was down almost 50 lbs. I was feeling good and then Thanksgiving came. I thought I was mentally prepared to "eat" with the family but... I haven't really stopped eating since then. I have fallen right back into the same pattern and I fought so hard to get out of since April. Now I'm 7 lbs. heavier and hating myself for letting myself get into this rut again. I don't feel any motivation like I had just a month ago. Please help!

The honesty in photos can be very powerful. Before I even started Kindergarten I was gnawing on my fingernails. To the nub. In my senior year of high school, people started bringing cameras and taking pics. When I later saw me in them, in all of them my hands were fists. Lovely. And just like that I realized I was ashamed of my ugly nubby nails. With that realization, I quit. I can easily relate to your story at 17. They say photos add 10 pounds. I say photos as brutally honest. Thank you for sharing some of your journey. I would be interested in hearing more about your blood work.

Youre a natural coach. You have a gift. Thank you for your time, experiences and knowledge.

SO helpful!! Thank you for sharing!! This made my day!

I would love to see a video of what to look for in getting blood work done. Thanks! 🌹

Photos are very revealing! I've been there. I'm on my weight loss journey, it's very slow bc I have PCOS. I've found cutting sugar & carbs was the start. Next was intermittent fasting and OMAD, regular ppl get incredible results- I didn't bc hormones. Adding the right supplements: Berberine, Inositol, ChromiumPic, LCartinine, NAC, Magnesium, GreenTea. Lastly, exercise- a simple 30+ min walk/hike. Get that sweat in has made a difference for me! I'm down 15lbs in three months, 50lbs to go. I want to get below 200lbs! I'm 35, Adrenal body type (weight all in belly).

I wish I knew where to start with this comment. Thank you for being out there. I’m nearly 70 years old and lost the baby fat after my first child at 60 I lost 60 pounds and looked great. It wasn’t all I needed to lose, but 75% of it. Then I gained it all back. It took three years to put it all on but by golly, I did it!😢 A year ago I knew I could do it again so I started the low-carb lifestyle once again, got back to the gym, and lost 40 pounds. Unfortunately, I put it back on and a little more. I need to get back in line to feel better and to be more confident. I guess this is mostly true confession for me right now, but I thank you for being out there because you have good ideas and have a compassion for those of us that have the problem. I know I am sugar and carb dependent and am addicted like you once I start , I can’t stop. I have to stop.

I was doing okay and gave up sugar a while ago but now menopause has increased my sugar cravings. I really need to make a change!

Yes, mine was terrible before I got a wake up call with a 6.5 A1C. Chef boyardee, fast food every day, processed junk. I got up to 333, last weigh in was 240 😁 Never going back to the way I used to eat. I’m going after my final 50lbs now 🙏🏽💪🏽 A1C was 5.4 as of November 2023. All labs improved. Grateful!!

I love this! I needed this right now the Holidays are hard this year, last year wasn’t hard I was still so focused I had lost 30 pounds but I love food! I’ll get back on track though I hate even gaining 10 pounds!

I lost 40lbs 2 years ago, and I have gained about 18lbs back! I’m starting again with Keto. It really works as long as you don’t fall off and begin consuming carbs and sugar. This time it is for keeps. I sure appreciate you sharing your journey and your thoughts regarding weight loss. God Bless you!❤️🌹❤️

What a mature decision you made at such a young age. You had a determination that was way beyond your years. It's no wonder you have made such a success in your life You're an inspiration to all of us, and the work you do in tweaking recipes to make them healthier, delicious, and lower carb is just priceless. I'm lucky in that I've never been really overweight, but I do have high cholesterol, which runs in my family, and I'm really trying to reach a place in my diet where I can stop taking statins. Keep up the great work, and I wish you and your family a happy and healthy New Year😀

Please talk more about triggers and how to overcome it beckoning you for days!

If I do order pizza I have to get a small or I’ll struggle to not eat the whole medium. Whenever I eat cereal I would have it for dessert and end up eating 2 bowls every time. I ate everything you ate as a kid. I recently got the biggest I’ve ever got then randomly started getting suggestions for fasting videos, and herbal teas, and healthy recipes. I knew that was a sign. This is the best thing I’ve ever started and glad to have lost my 1st 20 pounds thank you Jesus 😭

So glad to come across your video as I stopped eating sugar at the beginning of the year and I’ve lost 14 pounds! I find that the weight is coming off slowly and it doesn’t spike up or down by much. I don’t feel like I have to put something in my mouth every 10 minutes like I used to!! I feel so much better and if I want something sweet, I use good sweeteners like agave or honey monk fruit I’ll make an oatmeal dessert lots of videos on RU-vid! I have more control over my portions. I eat chickpea pasta most times oatmeal for breakfast loaded up with Chia seeds, ground flaxseed, almond milk Raisins for lunch a big salad with a quarter cup of black beans, olive oil vinegar and then for dinner I’ll have a good car and my snack is maybe a rice cake with a little nut butter banana fruit I don’t like broccoli and the cruciferous vegetables don’t seem to agree with me

I love your channel and recipes. I'm 58 and live without a thyroid. I was fit, exercised regularly, and had our last child when I was 39. I began to feel exhausted. It took 18 months for thyroid cancer to be discovered and then my thyroid was completely removed. I gained 30 pounds and was too weak to exercise. I have kept from gaining more weight, but can't seem to lose the original gained weight. Even with thyroid meds it's difficult to always feel my best. Your low carb recipes are especially helpful. Thanks for sharing your story.

I lost 35 pounds and then gained it all back over tge past year. It was a stressful year and we'll. Now I'm starting over...

Thank you for this reminder ! I’m struggling, I’ve been ideal weight for many years . Covid years (last 3) I’ve gained 30 pounds and I’m trying to lose 25-30 pounds and I’m trying to incorporate your meals and also fasting. But I don’t have the same metabolism and it’s so frustrating to not see results . I don’t know how to break my fast with easy healthy meals

My diet was exactly like yours. It didn’t hit me until I was in my 30’s. I do believe it is a junk food addiction not just a sugar addiction. I crave chips just as much as sugar.

I had the same thing happen to me I went from “im never going to loose weight” to waking up one day and cutting out sugar and carbs. Your video about the 5 foods to change when you’re starting off came up on my you tube and I just took it from there. Managed to loose 5lbs in 2 weeks. I’m 5.2” 158lbs now I’m 153. Thank you! When you say it’s a mental battle it is!!!

Please keep sharing...sugar makes me eat more sugar. I learned trying keto months ago, if I eat more protein and veggies, the craving for sugar greatly reduces.

I am 61 years old. I lost 125# on Atkins back in 2013. Now I shudder to recall how much I cried cheese. lol. Btw I’m also a flexitarian. For the most part I choose a plant based diet. Rarely I eat carnivore. I regained all the weight. In 2011 I lost weight with calorie restriction. In 2018 I did Weight Watchers and lost 80+ pounds. Circa 2023 I learned to replace my favorite flavors and tastes with lower carb and calorie alternatives. I’m down 103# and feeling like this is a forever eating plan. I’m hoping to eat this way forever. I’m thankful for content providers like yourself for providing not only your story but tips, recipes and trials that have affected your journey.

Thanks! Really enjoyed this.

Thanks for sharing! 🫶🏼

I’m diabetic and recently got serious about my health. Kicked sugar out of my diet about 3 months ago. I’m down 25 lbs. I have about another 50 to go. It’s amazing how much sugar is in everything! Thanks for your videos!

I used to diet for vanity, now I'm dieting for health. I've gone up and down with my weight for years. I would eat dessert instead of the main meal. But after finding your channel, and after my doctor told me I'm pre diabetic something clicked. I'm losing weight now for the right reasons (respecting and taking care of my body) not just to look good in my clothes. This LIFESTYLE, because that's what it is for me now, will work for me because now I'm approaching this weight struggle for the right reasons. Both my husband and I are getting back to a healthy weight. We've both lost about 20 lbs each in the last 3 weeks. Thank you Myra for sharing your journey. Many of us don't comment but still appreciate you and your good work

I completely understand, my sister was showing me recent photos from a wedding, I said "who are these people " she said that's YOU and YOUR HUSBAND! I almost fell off my chair! Since then I've been living a clean lifestyle! Love you!❤

You are amazing! Sharing your journey will help sooo many people! Keep helping people. You give people hope😊

i have fatty liver, I am currently on a Mediterranean diet. This is not just for a small amount of time, it’s my lifestyle change. I am losing weight slowly but surely.

Such a great story of strength and self love, Mayra. So proud of you. ❤❤

You are such an inspiration! Thank you for sharing your story and the helpful tips that we can use as well.

I changed my whole way of eating, no sugar, no soda, no junk and walked everyday for 3 months and my cravings never went away.

Oh my gosh!!! I seriously cried watching this video! I am struggling so hard right now to lose this weight. I am at 340 lbs and have struggled with weight most of my life. I am currently doing the low carb and trying to make it my way of life...not just a diet! i have been doing it for a few years now and I was doing really well.....lost over 60 lbs..but seem to be slowly gaining it back....now I am dealing with the more mental part of losing weight. to me the Diet is easy....you get to eat so many great things....but i just want to keep falling back into my old habits...sugar mostly and eating when i am not hungry....sorry to be writing so much here....i am just excited to find someone who has been there ....i am going to check out your other videos as i just now found your channel....this is the first video iv'e watched......thank you for this video...

Good Morning! I've been following you for a little over a year now on here and on IG. Thank you for the inspiration and transparency. You're helping so many people. You always answer my questions without knowing. Lol I'm sure we all feel that way. Many blessings to you and Happy New Year! ❤

This was incredibly relatable to me. I'm interested in the panels you had and what we should be looking for. I had some done a few years back, was told numbers were ok, but symptoms remain. Thanks for your honesty and transparency ❤

Berberine is a game changer too!!

I have 70 to lose. I did keto a few years ago and lost about 25 and just stopped. I gave in to ALL THE SUGAR and food. My addiction to sugar has ruled my food intake and thoughts for so long. I’m back now and see now how addictive sugar and food in general has been for me, I love this video because you talk about ALL the things, not just “work out, eat better, lose weight!” It’s just so much more than that. I have lost 10lbs this last month. I focused my thinking of one month, one week, one day, one meal at a time. Baby steps. I’m healing my mind and thoughts. I’m also watching what comes out of my mouth towards myself, that positive self talk is a real thing. I love your channel so much, thank you for continuing to share your story and encouragement ❤❤❤

This is me .. i’m 35 and def have a sugar addiction … not even food but sugar! i won’t eat meals but snack on anything w sugar! and i am def having gut issues so i am trying so hard to kick the habit 😢 new subbie here hoping to finally break this addiction … God bless 😊 and you look absolutely amazing!

I have lost 80 lbs have 33 left. Just found your channel have made some of the food you have made on your channel..delicious! Thank you. Congratulations on the weight loss and maintaining it.

Thank you so much for posting this. I feel like a total freak because I work out so consistently and so hard… I do CrossFit 4-5x a week!! But even still, I can’t get my eating habits under control. It’s definitely a sugar addiction, but also junk foods are my triggers and my portion control is so out of whack. It’s like if I have a little taste of something, I can’t stop. I am probably 20-30lbs overweight, which might not seem like much, but my habits are bad and they give me anxiety. I feel like I’m harming my body by pumping so much junk/sugar into it. I’m going to bring it up to my doctor after seeing this video. Thank you!

I definitely have a sugar addiction. What is the best way to cut out those foods? What do you think are the top 10 foods to avoid when trying to stop a sugar addiction? Thank you. You give me hope.

Ooh chile! I need this so much🙏🏽 thank you❤❤

I appreciate you saying you need to do the opposite of what you’re eating…. That was an important point. I’m going to work on a plan tonight. Thank you!

I actually ate more veggies and protein and slowly I stopped obsessing over sugary products. The more you eat sugar the more your body will crave because it's not getting all of the vitamins & nutrients. You truly have to trick your brain by eating more veggies, all veggies all the colors it doesn't matter if you only have just broccoli or lettuce for a while either. It doesn't have to be expensive. We're made to eat goir our health. It's kinda like fancy makeup lines in those fancy bottles it looks so good but when you apply to yoir face it's really just cheap chemicals.
