Sugar addiction is a serious problem. It prevents millions of people from moving towards their health and happiness goals. Big-food and big-pharma would love for you to believe there is no such thing as sugar addiction. But, after watching this video, you will see sugar addiction in yourself, or a loved one.
Improving your diet is the foundation of improving health. But, it is impossible to do if you are addicted to foods full of sugar. Sugar addiction makes you eat sweets & chips & breads & pasta, and drink soft drinks & fruit juices & fruit smoothies. All of these foods break down into the same sugars, and stimulate dopamine release in the pleasure-centers of your brain.
Sugar addiction is important to recognize and important to break if you are ever to enjoy the good health you crave.

I worked hard raising a large family and loved yard work, gardening, landscaping etc. Little did I know then, it would backfire on me with extreme Hyper-insulinism, excessive weightgain and very poor health. The bromelain alone almost destroyed my thyroid gland. I think these soft drinks are a tool of Satan to slowly destroy us. Sugar and really everything we shove into our mouths done in excess, is poison to our bodies. Thankfully there are good Docs like Dr. Berry to teach us a way out.

My two grandmothers were Victorian and Edwardian ladies living in the North East of England - they both knew that bread, biscuits, cakes and chocolate made you fat and were to be eaten as rare treats - to stay lean you ate meat and two veg and never eat late at night - both lived into their 90’s and were slim and healthy right up to the last two weeks of their lives. Why have we forgotten what they took for granted as common knowledge?

@carolv676 2 года назад

@@Peachy10236 I grew up in a home where we were directly taught that white bread was food for the ducks. We lived close to a lake and fed the ducks white bread. My mother sought out every health food store and local vendor of things such as goat’s milk. At best we had lemon or orange Gatorade, never Pepsi nor Coke. Oh, that reminds me that we did have ginseng soda. Not a great substitute but close enough. When I was a teen, I practically lived at my friend’s house one summer and I literally ate half a bag of Wonder Bread by sliding out a few pieces, mashed up in my sugar loving fist, and scarfed it down in the restroom right off of her kitchen. With the increased independence that came with hanging out with her, the proximity of a convenience store in walking distance, and a few bucks from my mom, I sure enough used that money to satisfy my sugar addiction, buying French onion dip and Ruffles, soda and cookies and candy. I’m not saying don’t try to keep your kids from sugar. Just keep my experience in mind. I grew up surrounded by the best possible foods and mindset. Looking back, I think the pattern was I turned to food when I was in emotional pain. My dad died when I was six and I still remember marveling at my bad choices a year or two later, age 7-11, going to the fridge to get a tub of margarine, a butter knife, and a sleeve of saltines to eat in my room while reading a book; 😂 we didn’t have cookies, chips, nor ice cream in the house so that was the closest thing. I can’t blame my mom. She did her very best to train us to eat properly. It’s the world. You can’t avoid these things. Your kids will eventually get introduced to something sweet or starchy or comfortingly carby and depending on a kid’s emotional issues and physiology or whatever other issues affect one’s propensity toward sugar addiction, that kid will have to walk a hard road until they’re finally sick and tired of being sick and tired. That is me at age 54. Just know you did your best and that kid’s addiction or lack thereof is not necessarily all under your control.

@cindymckown9827 5 лет назад

I am a recovering sugar addict. I never had a problem with breads, chips, pasta etc, it was always the sweet stuff. I hid candy, cookies, cupcakes, stole candy from my kids at Halloween, I would go to a cupcake place and pay cash just in case my husband looked at our account online. I totally had the obsessive thoughts about sugar, thinking about getting my next fix. By the grace of God I never weighed 300lbs. I’ve gone cold turkey off of sweets a few times and every time I did, for the first couple days I would break out in a cold sweat a few times each day and would get dizzy, and I also had horrible headaches for about 4-5 days. I did keto for a few months but still struggled with my sugar addiction, it wasn’t until I went carnivore that my obsessive thoughts about sugar went away. I certainly don’t struggle with it now like I used to, however now, if I eat something sweet, even just a bite, my brain freaks out and wants to eat the whole container of whatever sweets I just ate. The struggle and the addiction to sugar is so real!!

@APisMe 5 лет назад

Getting over my sugar addiction was/is super hard. I would feel extremely hungry, shaky and desperate for food. Rather than give in to my sweet cravings, I would shove a slice of turkey and cheese into my mouth, or eat some steak, or eggs. I was having to eat sooooo often to keep the feeling of starvation down, and to keep myself from feeling like I was starving, but within a week or so, that starts to go away. Suddenly I'm able to fast for 20h a day and feel great, sleep like a baby, have a ton of energy, never think of sweets, or very rarely and not crave them, even thinking about them would make me feel sick. During the worst of it, I would definitely hide sweets, or eat them quickly before anyone else came home, or go to the drugstore for a few things I needed and come out with a pile of sweets I swear I don't even remember picking up. People laugh when I tell them I have a problem with it. They literally laugh in my face. Few people think this is an actual problem because it's "socially acceptable", unlike doing a big line of cocaine at work, or something. I struggle to keep it going for long periods of time, though. I will do well or a month or two and then I find myself making an excuse to eat it. Oh my coworkers baked something or oooh this thing I love is on sale for so cheap. I had a rough week and weekend and have spent the day back at square one feeling like crap, feeling starving, constantly shoving healthy snacks into my mouth to distract myself and kicking myself for ruining the excellent streak I was on. I think part of that comes from seeing the lbs melt away when I first stop and after a few weeks, or a month or so, it plateaus and my mind automatically thinks - Well if I'm eating healthy and exercising but no more weight is coming off, I may as well eat whatever I want. I need to work on that but since no one thinks it's a thing, it's very hard to find support when you're struggling. Drugs and alcohol, even shopping, no problem, there are a million rehab facilities and programs designed to help. Sugar - You're on your own

It may be an addiction if you say I can quit it any time I like, but I choose not to. The addiction will give you all sorts of reasons to not stop it's use. The state of denial is large and powerful. I quit alcohol in 1978, tobacco in 1988, sugar in 2018. I have no regrets about stopping any of it.

Heres some sticker shock for ya: I didnt believe I was a sugar addict until last night when I went to make a giant salad. There was fructose (and soy oil) in the pickle relish, canned tomatos, yogurt dressing, and even the balsamic vinegar! All these years, I casually assumed that sugar was NOT my problem. It was a REVELATION.

Withdrawal symptoms start at 10:00. Dealing with a sugar addiction starts at 12:00. Step 1: Know you have an addiction, know how much sugar and carbs foods have Step 2: Stay full, ie satiated on protein and healthy fats. Eat a LCHF or keto or carnivore diet. Step 3: Do things that stimulate dopamine production in your brain. Run, sex, walk, hug Step 4: Clean out your kitchen. Get rid of all the sweets and high or processed carbs. Even milk. Step 5: Admit you are a sugar addict to others. Get them to help, don't bring me pie, cake, etc. Step 6: Make a plan to cut your sugar consumption. Do better today than you did yesterday. Step 7: Get plenty of sun and sleep. Step 8: Deal with other addictions too - smoking, alcohol, etc.

Hi! My name is Janice and I am a sugar addict! I got control of it by cutting out large groups of no-no foods at a time. Like anything with white flour in it, was thrown out and not brought back into the house. I didn't know what I was doing. I just knew that the more I tried to lose weight, the more I gained. I knew white flour was bad. The thing was, I didn't substitute the thrown out stuff with a bread made out of something "healthier" than white flour. Doing that stopped the weight increase and I saw a little decrease in weight. It did take about a month to get a grip on not having white flour. Then I gave up my soda pop, Pepsi, Sprite, whatever you want to call it. It was always "diet" "zero calorie" but I knew I was addicted to it so out that went and I lost more weight. Then I tackled fruits and veggies, condiments. I got better educated by these videos and other information and ended up losing 100 pounds, 12 more to go. I also quit smoking 6 years ago. I know I get easily addicted to just about anything so I'm taking better care of myself.

I am 100% an addict. I used to pride myself on the fact that I have no addictions (smoking, alcohol, drugs, etc.) That went out the window in the recent past when I recognized my inability to forgo the chips, pasta, and candy (and rice, and potatoes, and corn, and beans, and...). Even now, being keto for months, I still cling to having 'keto breaks' scheduled out into the future to get past the weak moments. Testing helps me. It takes DAYS to get back to the numbers I want after just one cheat. It's frustrating. So when I feel myself wanting to give in, I pull up that feeling of frustration as a deterrent.

I know why this happens I know how to prevent it and I KNOW how easy it is to stay off but once I'm in the sugar train it's like my body is saying not a single F is given just eat away. Your video happened to come out on the first day of my return to keto and IF and it's just the kick in the nads I need to remind myself why I'm doing this.

I would "drink" pancake syrup, or honey, or eat frosting out of the little round tubs plain, with no cake or anything to put it on. It didn't make me hyper, or happy, or tired; it just nunbed me to all the bad stuff in my life. Now, I eat one square of dark chocolate (80% cacao or more) a day, and maybe some Halo (high protein) ice cream once or twice a week, and that's it. Premium Protein shakes have also been a blessing. 30 grams of protein and only 1 gram of sugar. Everyone is different. Find what works for you. Never give up. Keep trying. Every day is a fresh start.
