I love how honest you are about the snacks slip-ups. And I agree with you that cutting sugar out completely will lead us to having really bad craving and a higher chance to Bing later .
can't speak for anyone else but when I don't eat sugar (I regularly cut out all refined sugar for about a month at a time) I find that I stop craving sugar after a few days and start craving fruit or other natural sugars instead. It's only when I start eating sugar again that I start craving it
Your dad has some mad skills! I avoided sugar for years. My tastebuds really did change to the point where things such as grapefruit taste overly sweet. It isn't difficult in terms of being tempting but the problem is it really limits life. Because sugar happens and life is more fun when you can participate. No sugar really does make for a dull gal. Also, I experience a lot of bloating so sugar has nothing to do with it. I think there is too much concern about food. Far healthier to have a relaxed attitude about food. You seem to have a healthy approach to food. Keep eating sugar because you are fine as you are. Actually, you help me have a better relationship with food.
After this week I totally realised life is TOOOOO short, you only get one life to live so why worry about what you are eating, YOLOOOO and all that (but also eat your fruits and veggies kids, and drink water)
I totally agree with you! I was very restrictive with food for awhile, trying so hard to avoid things "unhealthy", and especially sugar. That lead to me having to spend sooo much time thinking about it, always bringing a snack of my own in my bag, and being the one eating a banana, or a raw bar when my friends ate ice creams. Now, I'm trying to eat what I feel like, and I've com to remember how much I love food?! Like it's so much more tastier? So really, I think having a healthy relationship with food really isn't about cutting out sugar, but just about eating and enjoying it :)
True, true. being healthy does not mean `Dont eat sugar at all` You can have it once in a while, not every day, but you can have days where you need to enjoy life and eat a little sugar or your fave foods, junk food once in a while is also ok, dont be to restrictive:)!
seriously... I cut down on sugar and after a week I actually cut it out of all my drinks and minimized my sugary treats to at least 70% less than before and I honestly haven't seen a bigger change on my body than with cutting out sugar. my body and my face and every part of my body has de-bloated so so much. I haven't lost weight, but I seem like I have lost about 10kg. and that's just from cutting down on sugar and having a quite healthy diet. I haven't stopped eating junk, just minimized the amount. I haven't stopped eating desserts, just minimized it. I tried to get used to putting no kind of sweetener in my drinks for almost a month so that my body can get used to the taste. it was kinda hard but not really. after that month I started using stevia or honey and some drinks I keep drinking them black. it's not THAT difficult to cut it out of your diet. and take that from a person who used to put 4-5 tablespoons of sugar in their hot CHOCOLATE (not cocoa. CHOCOLATE!).
Thank you for your honesty. (0.0) I'm trying to watch how much sugar I consume right now; but if I wasn't, I would totally be trying that hot chocolate idea. Lol
@@redf7209 there are some that have sugar and some that dont. But because I don't really trust what's inside, I try to use honey if I REALLY want to make my drink or whatever sweeter.
@@absilentgamer hahahaha! Yeah! It used to taste pretty good! Now, I can't stand it! (Sorry for the late reply. I'm not used to replying to RU-vid comments... No idea how to work them 🤷♀️)
Your skin probably got worse from all of the crisps. Lots of oil/fat in them. I’m diabetic so have to keep sugar to about 5 grams per serving. One good thing I have found is a protein bar with only 1 gram of sugar. Still tastes sweet, but really healthy
Weethetniet Albert Heijn has chia seeds or Ekoplaza. If you like gooey food you should try, if you do not then do not waste your money on it. It gets gooey and sticky.
I’m litterally binge watching all your videos atm, I only found you about a month ago. I litterally love your personality haha your so uplifting and positive. And coming from someone who used to have a very disordered relationship with food, you have no idea how helpful and how much your helping people with their relationship with food. An idea what to try next maybe... that I think would be quite insightful is to track how many calories you have everyday for a week? Xxx
I'm getting into editing and just wondering what software you use. I love how the letters write themselves individually! I've also tried going sugar free for a week and it was hard but rewarding!
@@sophiecarter4555 Its unhealthy when you're body cant digest it properly like with a lot of people. Lol I'm both dairy free and gluten free and it is so hard
I’m currently on a no sugar no flour diet. Which is really difficult. I find sugar is one of the hardest things to cut out of your diet. Mainly due to the addition of it. 1 year ago I went on a completely raw food diet without any processed sugar, just natural sugars from fruit and I did include dates and honey which is better for the body and helped put my sugar cravings at bay. The first 2 weeks of giving up sugar though, I went through a detox and had what you are describing, lots of uncomfortable symptoms and lack of sleep etc. Once that passed I felt amazing and had much better skin and energy. It’s just getting through those initial weeks. Great video and good on you for trying 💖
This is so funny because i've been sugar-free since i was born thanks to my parents, i tried different bars with sugars and still eat sugar when i go out, but in my every-day life i'm vegan and sugar-free! And it's funny because it takes no effort to me: like for breakfast i can have vegan yogurt (there are plenty of them without sugar) with fruits and cinnamon, or make oatmeal with oats, plantbased milk (plenty without sugar too), fruits, raisins, dates, nuts, peanutbutter, jelly (a lot of them are sugar free actually!), or even bread with jam. For lunch i just make big salads (lot of different vegetables) with rice-cakes/bread/quinoa/potatoes and for dinner legumes, a type of complex carb and cooked vegetables. As for snacks i go for fruits, homemade cakes or biscuits but at the supermarket and at the organic shop there are plenty of sugar-free bars, sugar-free cookies, sugar-free cereals even if you can make your own ones which is much cheaper and store them for the entire week! Then i also think that to see the positive effect you should go longer without sugar: body and mind take longer to detoxify from loads of bad food! If you eat tons of crisps it won't work that much for sure!
Try it for a month In such a short time it doesn't really do anything especially with your skin In such short time your skin is gonna get worse but if you keep it going for longer it will get better Not only your skin
@@vickishaw6053 not sure where you're getting that info. Nuts of course are high in fat, but fat is not evil. You need a good balance of fats, protein and carbs for healthy brain function. Getting your fats from quality sources such as nuts, seeds, avocado etc is much healthier than opting for packets of crisps that are high in saturated fats. I recommend speaking to a nutritionist or looking up some academic resources to check your understanding.
@@Jaypat74 oh my word ty for fixing that. I just about had a conniption fit when I read that comment 😂 nuts are obviously healthy! Why does everyone want to label EVERYTHING as bad for you? What do they want us to eat?? Sorry- rant over. I'll show myself out.
Jaypat74 You don't need carbs at all, they don't contribute to good health. I recommend looking up some academic resources to check your understanding. ;)
Super interesting thanks. I think the bread causes the bloating and possibly yeast in things. Although it suprised me a lot you weren't less bloated. Are you type O blood?
Alright, for everyone in the comments saying fruit is high in sugar so it's bad for you: listen up. Fruit is a complex carb. The sugar is naturally occurring, not added, and is paired with fiber which helps take the sugar through your system. Fruit is also high in vitamins and antioxidants, which are both obviously good for you. It is also a great way to cut processed sugar and still satisfy your sweet tooth cravings! I cut all processed sugar and sugar substitutes for two months and ate fruit and veggies instead and *lost weight* and had higher energy. Felt great. EVERYTHING IN MODERATION EVERYONE! Cutting out an entire food group isnt healthy despite the fad diet's claims.
No, the hunger is real, but it's from sugar. U should maybe try eating more fiber along with protein, that should probably fill you up more than crisps.
I literally loved this video!! Shows a true representation of how these weeks go! A week worth of workouts would be so good to watch!! Like follow a yt video workout!
Whenever I babysit kids the parents always tell me that the kid is only allowed one pack of raisins because they will poop too much if they have 2 packs, im legit the same as a 4 year old...
I did a 30 day Daniel fast where we couldn't eat sugar meat and basically, anything processed or with preservatives. And like you the first week i felt absolutely terrible. But it takes you body at least like 2 weeks to fully detox all the sugar and things on the inside. But after the first week i felt a lot better. You did really well tho for the five days you did with out sugar considering every five seconds you eat dairy-free white chocolate! I love your videos and great job trying to go nonsugar for 5 days. 😍💓
I'm wondering if you've tried or you'd be up to trying low FODMAP for your gut issues? I used to have really bad gas and bloating but doing the low FODMAP diet helped me work out my triggers and get it under control.
I did a week long sugar free diet, and the only thing I really noticed was my mood. I totally went through withdrawal and then life just felt so much better I was so happy, but I went right back on to the sugar. Proved I could do it and then went back.
Former sugar-addict....now 2 years completely sugar-free (no honey, agave, maple syrup, stevia, dried fruit etc either) and LOVE it!! No more blood sugar spikes/ hypos, no upset tummy, no kidney pain, no brain fog....boosting with energy, my body works like a clock. And it's not as difficult as you may think, really. Am I dull because I skip the cake? Quite frankly, I don't give a damn- my health comes FIRST! ;-)
Love how honest this was. I could give you loads of "advise" abiut hiw to do it from a disordered eating perspective but where is the fun in that. You're amazing for just being normal natural human being so keep doing what you're doing and enjoy life :)
P.S. i'm sure in a few years time there will be some new research to show sugar is actually good but eg sea weed is bad. Kind of what happened with fats during 2000s where everything was fat free but now fat is good blabla. Same happened with potatoes, milk, tuna and so many other foods that it seems people are overcomplicating such a basic need.
I did 5 years of less than 15g of carbs (which is also sugar). You get really used to meat and cheese. I ate a lot of "dips" as meals. Like I had a green chili chicken enchilada dip a lot. It's definitely something you have to commit to. You get used to making bigger portions so you can have left overs through the work week.
Grapes are _very_ high in sugar, as are pears and peaches. Carrots have a bit of sugar in them both as it comes and glucose chained into starch but not a lot so that's good, olives are low sugar and salad leaves, the amount of dressing that we add to salads doesn't bring much sugar either, crisps are almost entirely glucose (sugar) chained into starch. Corn cakes are mostly glucose chained into starch.
Some artificial sweeteners are converted into glucose but the trick is _how many grams_ to get the same satisfaction. As an example Stevia gives your body glucose (one of three basic sugars our body gets a lot of, the others being fructose and galactose, there are lots of less basic sugars that are made of those three), but you only need about 1/300th as much stevia vs glucose to get the same sweetness - which is part of getting satisfaction - so stevia is a way to reduce sugar. Erythritol is famous now for not being converted into a sugar by your body but it also seems to do some weird things in my experience - it's often mixed with stevia to improve the flavour and so you get a spoon-for-spoon replacement for table sugar.
Seaweed is amazing! Good call! But some of them are sticky with sugar or syrup or other forms of sugar - you have to check the packet and look for coded names for sugar.
Stevia doesn't react in the body as much as normal sugar. Everything spikes glucose but some more then others so its impossible to do no sugar... only low sugar.
This was my life for a few months as I was on Atkins/low carbs so I was eating under 15g of carbs a day lol. Ilyyyy, great video as per even tho I’m only like 3 mins in x x
Oh my gosh what a tramautic diet?! Why would anyone put themselves through that?!! Im glad you aren't doing that anymore hahah, CARBS ARE MY BEST FRIENDx
Grackle hahah some people 100% swear by it n its their lifestyle but I couldn’t personally lmao& I did loose 2 stone it was completely my choice but I wasn’t starving myself! It’s great if you love eggs, stir fries, burgers (with no bun lol) full English as it’s like 100% meat based but I didn’t enjoy stir fries or salads n things so I ended up just not doing it & I just go to the gym now & slowly loosing weight (: xx
I really appreciate the idea and effort but honestly to feel the true effects of no sugar it takes more than a week. As someone who did Whole 30 (no sugar, no grains, no soy, no dairy), I can attest that the first 3-5 days are the absolute worst because your body is completely readjusting but after that period was over, I truly never wanted to go back. I realized sugar was making me feel sluggish and that my life was better off with it being less prominent in my diet. Hope this helped! Love your videos❤️
pancakes are substantially glucose chained into starch because of the wheat flower. I assume it's made with milk which is high in lactose (which is a low-sweetness sugar made of galactose and glucose basic sugars).
Don'tlet them bug you. You're doing greatamd it is fun watching you. Since I livedin the 49s and 50s it is interesting to see how far removed you young people feel about what is normal to me.
