Hey, nerd family! In this video, we’re going to be talking about how to break sugar addiction and the 7 steps to help you stop eating sugar!
At the end, we will also discuss honey, agave, and artificial sweeteners.
Sugar is a substance extracted from plants like cane and sugar beet which is refined into a white crystalline substance.
Since their effect on the blood stream, insulin, and brain are virtually the same, they are both considered sugar in the context of this video.
www.health.harvard.edu/diseases-and-conditions/glycemic_index_and_glycemic_load_for_100_foods?
Sugars are addictive because they cause a supernatural release of dopamine in the brain.
www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/pii/S0149763407000589
Dopamine is the primary neurotransmitter involved in addiction.
In fact, multiple studies have now revealed that sugar and sweet rewards can not only substitute to addictive drugs, like cocaine but can even be more rewarding and attractive
www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/23719144
www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2235907/
The brain chemistry of those addicted to drugs and those addicted to sugar are virtually identical.
7-Step Process to Breaking Sugar Addiction:
#1. Realize what’s going on with your brain your body, sugar, and flour.
People often stop consuming obvious sugar culprits like sodas and candy bars and trade them for bread and pasta.
As previously discussed, those breads and pastas cause the same problems as sugar.
#2. Understand levels of addiction
Not everyone who drinks becomes an alcoholic.
The same way not everyone who eats dessert becomes a sugar addict.
We are individuals with different brain chemistry and the important thing is recognizing your own personal level of addiction.
If just thinking about giving up sugar seems like a bleak, dark, and unhappy world, understand this is uniquely similar to how addicts feel about substances they abuse. You may be VERY addicted to sugar.
#3. Detox
You need to spend a period of time completely away from sugar and those dopamine spikes to break the addiction.
This will often lead to an initial period of headaches, hormonal fluctuations, and just feeling like poop for a little while.
The detox process can last from anywhere from 3 to 21 days.
However, on the other side of breaking any addiction is a much healthier place.
#4. Become a nutrition label ninja.
Sugar is often hiding in places you don’t expect. Yogurt, pasta sauce, are protein bars often have TONS of added sugar
You need to become a PRO a reading nutrition labels and feel free to check out my older video on the topic.
#5. Balance blood sugar levels by eating balanced meals
During the detox process, you need to focus on having balanced meals to keep your blood sugar levels steady to prevent crashes.
You do this by eating meals that combine protein, fiber, and healthy fats.
Whole egg omelets with lots of veggies, Chicken salads with olive oil dressing, and a grass fed beef stew are great examples of this.
Protein, fiber, and healthy fat at every meal.
#6. Heal you gut
In an interesting study in Switzerland, men who were separated into two group based on chocolate cravings.
www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2007/10/12/AR2007101200019.html
You do this by eating balanced meals as listed above, avoiding sugar and processed foods, and getting healthy probiotics into your diet.
What about honey and agave nectar?
Because of how the brain works the more you eat sugar, the more you crave.
The more you stimulate supernatural sensations in the brain and taste buds, the more it’s going to want and need.
While these sugars do have mild health benefits, if you are struggling with even a mild sugar addiction, you need to cut these things out.
Sooooo what about artificial sweeteners like Stevia?
While previous correlated evidence told us that artificial sweeteners caused additional sugar cravings and even cancer, better studies have shown us otherwise.
www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2892765/
Randomized double blind studies - aka the gold standard in scientific research - report that artificial sweeteners help us becomes less hungry, consume fewer calories, and don’t stimulate additional sugar consumption.

www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/12324283
www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/2008866
www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/22093544
The conclusion on the research as of now points to these sweeteners being ok in mild doses when trying to break a sugar addiction.

SUGAR. i gained way too much weight and decided to detox. first i told my mom not to buy any sugar when grocery shopping. it worked. then, when i go out, i don't bring any money with myself because i know i'll spend it on food. that worked too. now i'm 2 weeks clean and it has been HARD. i've had some serious headaches but i feel like it's getting better. i'm really proud of myself. also, after about 10 days you will stop craving sweets that much and it'll be easier to detox after that.

    I broke what I call my added sugar addiction by slowly transitioning to healthy snacks that such as fruit and other natural whole foods and overtime I lost my addiction to candy, pop, and junk food. By doing this I lost almost 50 pounds in a matter of months and I have kept off the weight for over 18 months and in fact on the 1st of January 2018 will be my second year of going clean.

    I'm sorry it's such a struggle, I suppose all I can say is you need to speak to a doctor/professional because you are clearly aware that you have a real problem. I know it's easier said than done, but is there something you could do/have as an alternative like no sugar sweets or fruit? You said that you have to walk for an hour to buy chocolate.... so you can at least go SOME small time without having it. Have you thought about maybe going away to visit family/friends in another place to take you out of the situation? Maybe you could explain that you are trying to deal with sugar addiction and you want to have NO ACCESS to sugar/sweets for a few days to try and break the cycle? I think you need to build a support network to try and deal with this because otherwise you might end up with health problems like diabetes etc etc. Good luck!! :) :)

    Smoothies really help the cravings for sugar. Fruit in general is a good substitute. When you get the craving just have an apple, banana, berries, etc. Best advice is to not buy the bad food in the first place. You can't eat it if it's not in your cupboard/fridge.

    An addition to #6. There have been studies that have shown that the gut has a direct link to the brain. Because of this connection, microbes in your gut can make you crave certain foods. The way to change these cravings is changing what microbes call you home. You crave sugar because the microbes rely on sugar to survive. If you start eating lots of fiber, you will starve the sugar loving bacteria and promote the growth of fiber loving microbes. The healthy beneficial microbes we often talk about often consume fiber as their main source of food. Because you have a lot of fiber loving bacteria, they will make you crave fiber rich foods like leafy greens.

    For those of you struggling with fighting the cravings, I HIGHLY recommend fresh organically grown Green Grapes. When freshly storebought, they are so crunchy, juicy, watery, and naturally have a mild sweetness that really helps quell the cravings! I have small intestine issues that are exacerbated by sugar, and having a handful of grapes first thing in the morning or late at night has truly helped me suppress the desire to have a setback with cookies and other sweets. Good luck! You are all stronger than you know!

    Bhavika Aswani It's difficult to get rid of this drug because, you know, it's difficult to not eating, like it's difficult to not drinking water or breathing. It's difficult to not live. Because sugar, flour, etc. is food, food is necessary to live. Cocaine is not food. So calling some type of food worse then cocaine is stupid. Eating too much sugar is bad. Drinking too much water is bad. Eating too many fruits is bad. But it's stupid to say that food cause addiction like a drug.

Balanced meals for balanced sugar levels -Balanced meals should include: protein, healthy fat, and fiber -Examples: whole egg omeletes with veggies, chicken salad with olive oil dressing, grassfed beef stew 6. Heal your gut -Eat balanced meals -Avoid sugar and processed foods -Consume healthy probiotics 7. Other sugars such as honey, agave nectar are still as bad -Fruit sugars and artificial sweeteners such as stevia are generally safe to consume

    I've tried a detox w/ fruit and had to abandon it. It started off ok but I eventually got to where I was eating 20 pieces of fruit a day to get my sugar fix from the fructose. I lost weight at first but then ended up gaining more than I lost. I can go cold turkey, but my brain just shuts down and I can't focus at work which is bad, because I have to do daily problem solving and thousands of mathematical calculations. What I've been doing recently is eating honey roasted nuts, figuring that way at least I'm getting a lot of fiber and protein with the honey. I've only recently accepted that I have a sugar addiction and have probably had it my entire life. It's actually more of a relief than a let-down. Now I can finally start tackling the problem more effectively.

Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy and my burden is light.” ROMANS 10:9-11 “If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are saved. As Scripture says, “Anyone who believes in him will never be put to shame” “For the Son of Man came to seek and to save the lost.”” ‭‭Luke‬ ‭19:10‬ ‭ God wants us to believe in His One and Only Son, Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior, who died for our sins :D When we truly believe in our hearts that Jesus is the Son of God, who died for our sins so we could have eternal life with God, we are saved, and have life in Jesus Christ 💗 Jesus genuinely loves you, and always waits for you to come to Him 🕊💕 May God bless you all ❤

    Finally our breaking sugar addiction video is ready! Sorry for the delay on this one :( We should (fingers crossed) be back on track for weekly videos. Let's jam about some stuff: I want to clarify a point made in the video about artificial sweeteners - The data is not conclusive YET. Yes, when breaking a sugar addiction, a moderate amount of stevia is ok to liven bland foods up... But this does not mean you should running an IV of artificial sweeteners into your blood stream. The negative studies on artificial sweeteners did show some problems with healthy gut bacteria and I am very wary of giving them The Health Nerd stamp of approval. In summary: If you can break your sugar addiction without them, do it. That being said, a couple packets of stevia a day and you will probably be fine. Use Stevia over anything else. Check out our free video on the steps for fat weight loss here: fatlossnerds.com/ Leave comments, questions, or video suggestions in the section below. Much love nerd family. Cheers!

    If you appreciated this video, you may also want to know that while marketing makes you think brown sugar is more natural than white sugar, the only difference is that brown sugar is turned to white sugar by adding phosphate! And when it comes to gut health, brown and white sugar have similar effects!

    I get that sugar addiction is similar to being addicted to drugs, but here's my problem with it: with cigarettes for example, you could say "I will never smoke again" and just cut them out of your life (not saying it's easy, but you get what I'm saying), but with food you can't say "I will never eat again" right? And I know what you're thinking: you could just cut the sugar and still eat tons of food, but the issue here is that you still have to think of an affordable meal (that everyone in your household likes), you have to go buy the ingredients (in a store filled with sugary stuff) and you have to prepare your meal before you can eat it. I often eat sugar, because it's just easier to not think about it too much and grab cheap tomato sauce and pasta. I think we often spiral down: we feel tired and depressed, and because of our lack of energy we get something quick and simple to eat. This makes us feel even more tired and depressed and so on... Does anyone else recognise this? Would be nice to hear how you broke out of this habit!

    Yes, and while you're paying for your groceries, since they know most people have an addiction to sugar, they make sure to add the most unhealthy things near the cash registers while waiting in line. It might be time to start ordering food online. lol I went to the store the other day and they had moved the candy aisle right beside the health food. It's by design. If we stay sick, they earn more $$$ when we go to the doctor.

    The thing is that you don't have to avoid ALL sugar to be healthy, only the added sugar. Fruits and milk (also cheese, natural yogurt, etc. Lactose!) have sugar and they can still be a good thing to eat (always with responsability!). I am trying to avoid sugar right and it can feel a bit difficult at the start (especially when everybody around you is enjoying something sweet!). But it also makes you fell good when at the end of the day you can think about how much sugar you have avoid today and how that will have a possitive effect in your health in the future (if you continue like this) :)

    Can't really prevent loose skin after a huge weight loss. It's not realistic thinking. You can try to minimize the loose skin as much as possible by loosing weight at a slower pace so the skin has time to tighten in between loosing the weight. But not having loose skin after a big weight loss or even after a smaller weight loss is not possible. It depends a lot in your biology as well. Some will have more loose skin than others, because of genetics.

    I recently got diagnosed with diabetes at 26. I used to be addicted to sugar and carbs. Anything highly processed. However, the diagnosis was a wake up call for me. I quit sugar cold turkey, and the major carbs i eat are whole wheat chapatis and bran bread as well as oatmeal. The doctor told me to cut all fruit except apples, and I'm pleased to report that it's not the end of the world! I had given up drinking chai, because i couldnt imagine drinking sugar free chai, but the nicotine withdrawal on top of the sugar withdrawal was bad enough. Now i tolerate sugar free chai. I haven't bothered to replace that sugar with honey or artificial sweeteners yet because i wanted to give it a fair shot. I still crave a lot of junk food, and my go-to junk food in times of extreme cravings (after fighting off for days), is kfc fried chicken. Moving towards airfried versions for the sake of my health. Wish me luck.

    I am extremely addicted to sugar. Since 2015 I've had it quite stressful, and so, my solution became food. I've always been addicted to light soda (like Cola Zero and now; Pepsi Max), but it's evolved to the extreme since october 2016 and I feel sluggish, tired and sick every single day because of my sugar addiction. When I try to eat healthier and avoid gluten or carbs (pasta, rice, bread, potatoes) I get physically ill after a short amount of time. It's even worse when I try to stop drinking soda all the time. I get dizzy, feel nausious, I get the worst headache and it feels as if my body won't work. I also get easily distracted and can't focus when I am like this, and I get easily irritated. I know people who have been addicted to drugs of which I'd think would've been worse than just sugar, and I feel as though they were better than me overcoming THEIR addiction, than what I am with my sugar intake. It stresses me out to the extreme, and if I could afford it, I would get a personal trainer and nutritionist to help me out. I actually WISH there were some sort of course or bootcamp where I live to break sugar addiction and overweight and stuff. The fun part is that I'm tall, so I'm not SICKLY overweight just yet, but I HAVE gained over 20 pounds in under a year, which isn't really good. i've gained about 60 pounds in 3 years, but I WAS struggling with depression and eating disorder three years ago, but have had a normal weight until last year. Thanks for this video! Hopefully, I'll get through this and lose weight and be healthy again!

    You are never suppose to restrict carbs 100% because it’s the main way to get glucose to your brain UNLESS you are on Keto. It takes a few days for your body to switch from getting energy from carbs into getting it from fat and protein. Just track your macros. There’s tons of macro calculators online. Depending on your weight, you can still have those things as long as the quantity you are having doesn’t derail you.

    Hoping this works. I’m still coming to terms with my stress-eating habits. And I am realizing that I am in fact pretty obsessed with sugary foods when I’m stressed and “feeling hungry.” I’ve been fighting with stress eating only recently though. So I know I have a long way to go... But the struggles are real. I’m not the kind of person who can actually meditate. And in the hustle and bustle of my schedule, it’s REALLY hard to slow down and breathe for a couple hours. The fact that I get distracted easily doesn’t help either. I think the reason I eat really is just becuase I channel my stress into my food. The more he better. The sweeter, saltier, or overall unhealthier it is, the more GREAT i feel after eating until my stomach aches and I need to lie down to regroup. Thanks for the advice! I’ll do my best!

Here's something many of us don't know about how harmful sugar can be. A doctor recently explained to me that sugar is the absolute worst food to consume if you have any form of cancer. He said sugar is the food of choice for cancerous cells and allows cancer to spread more rapidly.

    A lot of things mentioned here are the same things people like myself learn when diagnosed with diabetes. Quitting or reducing your sugar/carbs sucks donkey poo, but when your future health and life depend on it you find your way. However, I personally don’t agree about artificial sweeteners. There still seems to be an ongoing debate about that no matter how many studies are done. And us diabetics are taught that the artificial stuff is processed by our bodies the same way as regular refined sugar and even turbinado or natural cane sugar. For those who want or need to kick sugar, may the odds forever be in your favor. For those who aren’t ready or don’t want to... have a cookie for me 😊

I found this notion ridiculous, because these fruits pack a ton of nutrients as long as you eat them in moderation - as everything should be eaten in moderation. My question is, are these nutritionists right about these types of fruits?? Could you do a video on different types of fruits and how they affect weight loss?
