It is a drug. I'd argue it's even more dangerous because many people don't look at it that way. At least with alcohol, cigarettes, etc people acknowledge it.

So many 'I quit sugar' videos focus on the weight, and it's great that you focused on the other markers/numbers. Weight is just another marker, like cholesterol, inflammation, etc. It all matters.

I started keto on may 9th 2023 and dropped 18 lbs (its 7/30/2023) and I feel amazing. Prior, I was feeling depressed, anxious, and lethargic. I'm at 229 lbs now. In 2020, I started keto the first time when I was 276 and dropped 70 lbs, then maintained it on no added sugar and mostly low carb, but not keto and not processed. Then, in late 2022, I got depressed and binged again and gained 40 lbs back, but then in may I decided to make a change and have been nearly 3 months keto (but I get lots of fiber, and low carb veggies like turnips and greens). I feel great and in 2020 when I did this the first time, my doctor who told me to do it, she took labs every three months and they improved more and more until the labs showed I looked no longer pre-diabetic/insulin resistant.

With the glucose monitors, it is important to know that it only measures glucose levels in the blood, NOT fructose, which is only processed by the liver, nor lactose from milk. Sucrose is half glucose and half fructose. High fructose corn syrup is 55% fructose and 45% glucose. Obviously, fruit is fructose, which is normally not problematic, unless your system is already sugar overloaded. The glucose monitor is NOT the whole story. Important to remember.

You do realize your sugar is not "spiking" because your body produces a huge amount of insulin to keep it down. Long term it's a recipe for insulin resistance even if your blood glucose levels look normal.

Not quite. The glucose spike is what triggers insulin production. You can pretty much correlation rate of change of glucose levels with insulin production.

You just quit added sugars… quitting sugar is different. Thats why you didn’t get results.

Didn't realise you made a video on sugar. I am trying with my friend to stay off of added sugars in food products for 2 weeks, so it's nice to see a video by someone who I enjoy watching! We're doing no added sugars as best as we can, but not 0 sugar, as we both still rely on our parents to cook our food lol, so we have no say in that. Otherwise, no ice cream, no nutella, no jams, no soda, no chips, but we do allow fruits. Can't wait to see the results

Grain makes insulin spike, even when it is "healthy' grain. Elevated glucose causes elevated insulin levels. Insulin is a fat storing hormone that also makes you retain water. If you can, cut the sugar, and cut the carbs. It is not easy, but very beneficial.

In contrast, stevia can disrupt the microbiome and reduce 'good' bacteria (e.g bad for you).

Did you equate calories before and after?

Are all sugars created equal yes?

You look like jim croce. Nice video.

A lot of those “Keto” products, aren’t actually Keto, Keto means low to no sugar at all, added or not. That’s why certain fruits with high sugar like bananas are not allowed. So you’re still getting a sugar fix with a lot of those “Keto” products and banana. Certain fruits like berries are better because they are lower on sugar and the fiber slows down the sugar digestion, leading to less of a insulin spike.

Get a Ninja Cremi. I make very low cal, no sugar, no fats, high protein ice cream; use protein powder of your choice, whey or beef, flavorings like cocoa powder (low carb naturally), stevia, water flavorings (I like cherry drink mix plus vanilla powder = cherry vanilla) and a T or so of sugar free pudding mix to thicken. Freeze for 24 hours, process twice to go from a powdery icy product to creamy. You can have a full pint for around 150 calories.

Oats if not organically grown contain an extreme amount of pesticides.

I quit sugar for a year and it changed me for years since. I still cannot fully enjoy overly sweet food.

That's cool thx for the video 🙂

Focusing solely on sugar doesn't really give a full pictures of the macros in these foods, which includes lots of processed fats as well. There's proof that diabetes can be reversed with a high carb low fat, whole foods plant based diet. Combining high fat and sugar is the recipe for diabetes, excess fat blocks insulin receptors, get rid of excess fat in the diet, reverse insulin resistance. A high fat diet doesn't address insulin resistance.

All the junk food you described as high sugar had more calories from fat...

Once you're hooked on the "keto" products, you've already lost the diet.

I’m always baffled by how much more sugar is being added to food in the US compared to everywhere else. The same exact oatly milk has like 2-3g of total sugar per 100ml in Germany for comparison. Can’t imagine how sweet your oat milk must taste 😂

No added sugar... but alcohol is ok?? I think you might want to take a class on nutrition
