Mark Hyman, MD | How to Eliminate Sugar Cravings 

Mark Hyman is one of the truly genuine health experts. So blessed that he shares the way he does.

When I was a kid, my mom would never let us have sugar or any junk food. She would cook and we sat down to eat together. We also had to eat everything on our dinner plate, which included vegetables. I was NEVER sick or overweight.

Lifetime Sugar Addiction had to be conquered before I could successfully intermittently fast. That took many years, beginning with eliminating Coke, then eliminating other sugary beverages, even orange juice, then replacing all sugary fruit juices with RO water at room temperature. Then I learned to identify and eliminate added sugar Refined Foods. Then after much struggle I gave up candy, then all refined sugar and refined flour products. Now intermittent fasting is a breeze. I can achieve any weight / BMI I desire to be at any time with intermittent fasting.

I am Polish, I chose to make my sour kraut with organic ingredients and I have been cancer free for 15 years, sour kraut and fermented vegetables have more pre and probiotics than any store bought capsule. Thank you for saying it, when they come here, they stop eating sour kraut. We all need to go back to cooking at home and using einkorn flour, fermenting foods, preserving our own tomatoes and vegetables, all the boxed and canned foods in the stores are killing us. The reason they start getting cancer when they come to America, is because they switch from the wholesome, natural, nutrient rich foods they eat in EU, to the SAD diet. The fast food, the processed foods, the quick to heat in the microwave foods and that is making everyone sick in our United States. Watch "GMO revealed", or "GMO people as lab rats". The quality of ingredients you chose for cooking and baking, and even preserving, plays a key role. I love making my own treats and wonderful colorful dishes, at least I know I use high quality vegetables, spices and everything else.

Wow, thank you, Dr. Hyman. Many years ago, I found I didnt do well without some meat, and I knew Dr. Hyman was a vegetarian, so I didn’t follow him. I stumbled on this today, and I love how honest he is about changing his diet. Lots of good stuff here.

Thank you Dr. Hyman. Great information. I have been doing IF for almost a year now. Once I started to incorporate Keto my sugar cravings has decreased. Love Low Carb living.

Thank you Dr Hyman for your determination on bringing food and quality of it, or not, to all of us. ❤️

Absolutely adore the Good Doctor!

This was a terrific interview, thank you for sharing. I hope Dr Hyman interviews Dr Aseem Malhotra again now in September 2019.

Love Mark Hyman interviews!☺

38:37 Dr Hyman giving the best advice to parents : Tell your kids , when it comes to food at home, there is no menu but only 2 choices : 1. Take it or 2. Leave it. *Your kids will thank you when they grow up.*

I found this video exceptionally helpful. Thank you for recording it and publishing it.

This is fantastic information! Thank you. I need to hear this, I am seriously addicted to sugar and I hate it.

Love the to the point answers...

His reaction to dates and figs shocked me, I love dried apricots and figs... I also really love sweet things but now I don’t eat many processed foods.

Simple to understand by everyone

Finally a doctor who knows what he’s talking about.

My mom is a type 2 diabetic as well. Great post!

Dr. Hyman, you are awesome! I really enjoy listening and learning from you!

“The Food Pyramid should be called the Food Tombstone”, lol, love it.

Let food be thy medicine and medicine be that food. So much of what I teach my client is about this very thing, and yet the mindset to switch away from what they have been told is monumental. One person at a time, it will get better!

so many topics covered in just one video. Awesome

Wow. I really like Dr. Hyman. I wish there was a good place to go to learn more about nutritional medicine.

I'm a little bit late but this was eye-opening! Thanks for the uploading

They know that you will eat more, if they add a bit of sugar. That's why there is sugar in everything.

I love this dr!! THANK YOU!!✨🔥🙌🙌✨✨

Information is power!

Dr Hyman you rock! Thank you!

Wish we had doctors like him in Ireland.... 👌👌👌

Electrolytes- fresh coconut water and celery .. instead of energy drinks or powders??

Thanks for all this valuable information Doctor!!! ❤️

I have an intolerance to corn (Corn Starch , High Fructose Corn Syrup). My intolerance caused me to be addicted to any food with corn. Most foods in the supermarket have corn (many additives are made from corn). When I cut down on corn , the cravings went away.

I'd also suggest you also watch Dr. John Bergman's videos on youtube ~

Thank God I live in Europe and have access to organic food really cheap like the strawberry's you talk about :)

Thank you again for the good information 👍

HOW TO eliminate Carb Cravings??..... I don't have a sweet tooth but have experienced massive carb cravings; bread, potatoes, chips, etc. Can you pls do a vid on this, please?

Thank you for bringing up formula!!

I would like to know what Dr. Hyman eats for breakfast, lunch and dinner, one day only, please. Thank you for the great information.

35:00 DR Hyman was vegetarian for ten years, in pictures he said he looked scrawny. Now he looks healthier and stronger. You need protein and fat to build muscle.

Thank you Dr. Hyman. I appreciate your nutritional information and expertise. I wish I had found your books and videos a long time ago.

Thanks for the great tips!

Ohhh, I remember Sugar Crisps. You can only get those in Canada now. And they are not on Amazon so of I ever go to Canada watch out!

I put cc on so that helps your brain too.

I'm a child abuse survivor and advocate now for many many years which my channel has my journey on as well as therapies and remedies for issues that I've had or have. One series is called The Dynamics of Abuse, my theory on how violation works... The other is Therapies for a Better Me... the reason being I have multiple mental conditions but for the past 10 years allergic to formaldehyde which is now being put into many laundry detergents and products. I also suffered from crepitus, which I've cured myself... In my videos I talk about the plans I've made to be the best I can be optimally and in my research it comes down to nutrition, or rather lack thereof. I've never seen this video before but it is EXACTLY what I've been saying all along. Thank you Dr. Hyman for confirming what I'm thought all along...

When I was in the hospital for colitis. The main things I was given were jello, sprite, juice and some broth. Most of that was in no way helping my gut.

Lovely interview, Mark’s always full of great knowledge, but enough with the fruit fear, already!

Great information. Thanks.

CocaCola is the most famous brand in the world. As more people know the danger of sugar, Coke will be like Sears. The sound of this video is too low compared to most videos.

Most of Dr. Hyman is saying make a lot of sense I was helped by a very healthy metabolism. It did help until I hit menopause, after, I started to gain weight, mostly belly fat. I never followed a diet, and even though my doctor says that I'm not overweight, I know she is wrong. This past year, during the pandemic, I gained about 5 lbs, now I desperately needs to lose 15 lbs. I'm an European immigrant, my diet is fairly good, and I don't crave for sugars, yet at 77, I find very difficult to lose the weight. HELP!

Years on a low-fat diet in the 1990’s made me pre diabetic and I became Type 2 diabetic in 2008

I'm 8 days without sugar,mood swings getting better, arthritis slowly getting better.I did Atkins back in 2000 and lost 47 lbs stopped because my family thought I would have heart problems from doing Atkins but I had my blood work checked and it was fine. I'm thinking about doing Keto, arthritis in my hands is really painful that's why I'm stopping sugar again. Great video thanks for all this information

Can we drink hot tea instead of coffee?

I suffer from sugar cravings when I was in high school!

It’s tough when both spouses don’t agree

I really suffer from sugar cravings too. I have had Candida overgrowth and it was at its worse then. I am working on the Candida with Biocidin LSF and the craving is better....but I still have it. I am in the AIP/Paleo Protocol.

FASTING / VERSUS CALORIE RESTRICTION INTERMITTENT FASTING : 30:32

I was on a mission to go to the USDA site to voice my opinion, but I see it is too late...I will try anyway. I may not have even been aware of Dr. Hyman 2 months ago.

Technically there is only two things you love. Dopamine and serotonin. Sugar gives you a high hit of both so yes it acts like a drug in your brain. 🤓

6 years ago I stopped sugar 95% The first week was torture. Gradually got easier and by week 3, I could manage. Just got thermography and at age 70 I have only minimal inflammation in low risk category.

I wish I had a doctor with Dr. Hyman's sense of humor.

How does someone stop eating sugar, what has sugar and what does not!! And what is food like ingredients!!!!

Just been into the garden to eat some strawberries 🍓

For years I have drank soda. 2 two liters a day sometimes more. Luckily I grew up on a farm. I probably would've been bigger than I am. I also am lucky to show no signs of diabetes. I went down to 3 cans a week and went from a size 20 to a size 11. I walked 1 mile a day and lifted weights 3 times a week. Fighting the soda desire is hard. I crave it constantly.

Why doesn’t docteur Hyman have à RU-vid channel

I have PCOS, and had fertility issues. I quit sugar and cow milk switched to unsweetened almond milk, ate only fruit and veggies and had meat here and there, didn’t lose any weight (like most doctors tell you to when you have PCOS) and got pregnant within 6 months of making the lifestyle changes.

SNACK IDEAS : 43:14

Did he answer the question on how to stop the sugar cravings?

Did anyone else have to skip through 5 sets of ads within the first 20 mins? It made it difficult to watch the video

Where is the part about how to eliminate CRAVINGS for sugar?

Very educational. But why he talks to the camera not to the interviewer?🧐 Too much noise from the microphone 🥸

I agree sugar and sweets are habit forming and can turn into dependency, but the withdrawal is not as bad as alcohol and drugs. When I quit sugar, most of the day I was fine until late afternoon night when I normally would start snacking on sugar, the behavior of eating it and than missing it was more than physical symptoms. I do feel better overall not having it. The similarities with drug addiction and alcohol addiction and habits is not going into boredom , overwhelm and tiredness. I agree healing the brain with nutrition and supplements, and keep active in healthy ways. A 12 step program for sugar? Idk if one exists, but habits form and the psychological effects from addiction needs to be addressed for any long term success. Even then a relapse can happen. An alcoholic stays away from bars, sugar addicts got it hard, every party has dessert after dinner birthdays bakery hidden sugars in most restaurant food when you think not having bread and dessert. Very difficult. I like all these videos on the subject, helps to reinforce not having a cookie or 5 at night .

When I changed to keto, I found I didn't crave sweets. I could walk through the bakery section without stopping to even look at the goodies! Ice cream? It's a long time between a serving these days.

17:00 -- kids food is too much sugar. They do much better in school and life, when switched to healthy food. Keto - good for certain people Q+A 19:00

Hi Dr Hyman Could you please tell me if plant based diet can dissolved gallbladder stone. Thank you so much for your video.

Very helpful

You can make a salad so yummy that you won't need dressing, add veggies, 🥦🥒🍌🍓🥗 mix well !

Can we eat green peas ? Is it food for health ? Will it raise my sugar levels ?

I use an intermittent fasting protocol. I try to eat zero sugar but the problem is "hidden sugar"! It is difficult to avoid in a multitude of foods. How can we easily avoid this dangerous product?

Interviewer looks at Mark Hyman and makes a comment and prompts a response from him. Mark Hyman responds to the camera.

What's your position on coffee and whether it's good/ok to drink or not?

Is my computer messed up or is there a sound issue, I can't hardly hear you.

What fruits should diabetics avoid?

I love Hymen

What about monk fruit. Is it a good replacement for sugar or just another artificial sweeteners?

Thank

My grandson was born yesterday with low glucose. They have him on a glucose iv What is this from. How’s should he be treated? Ty.

Bottom line: Don't eat sugar!

What foods should I eat to increase fat

Great tips.

I really wanted to hear this can barely hear her whisper can't understand what she's saying they need to turn up the volume some kind of way he hasn't spoken yet but I'll see I hope it's better

Don’t believe in evolution... God creator, made mankind in his image...

This is epic! Link to study mentioned? Or name?

Not for nothing, but whenever I listen to similar videos regarding sugars, carbohydrates and keto my head wants to explode. I am simply overwhelmed. Our government and the major food producers and the marketing industry are conspired to create health-killing readily accessible foods. And the purveyors of so-called healthy foods do the same. Clean eating, whatever that is.... how to make the transition, who knows how that is achieved?

How to safely break fast?

how should i buy flax? Heard so many controversial things?

Of course, my two favorite fruit (pineapple and bananas) are the worst ones...

Can we eat rice in diet?

Sugar and cocaine. I don't see a big difference.

What is the electrolyte substitute Dr. Hyman talks about? I would love to try it!
