Hello. I'm from Mauritius 🇲🇺. 56 yrs old. Here we grow sugar cane. Recently I saw a post by Jessie Inchauspe, biochemist, super interesting. Thus I can comment on ur post. U were right to quit sugar. Sweet things give us a feeling of satisfaction

@moosballysultanah1014

Sorry. Continuing... So I realized excess of sugar affects ALL organs from brain, heart, liver, eyes to skin. We get sugar from sugar cane, beetroot, etc. Starch is a kind of sugar from rice, potatoes, pasta, roti, flour etc. Too much carbs mean excess sugar. Fructose is sugar from fruits. So too ripe fruits not good. Next juice in canned fruit or fruit juice on bricks is bad for health. So sugar , once taken, created an addiction and causes ur brain to want more. But excess makes us feel tired, irritating, etc Thx

If you eat a sweet treat again, you will notice it is sickly sweet and you won’t sleep well that night. Sugar is a horrible drug and the food industry wants everyone addicted to it.

One benefit I noticed from quitting sugar that I did not expect was: I felt this sense of freedom. I started feeling more free from myself rather than being constantly in need of something, that something being sugar. I started feeling like I could do anything, go anywhere, rather than being a slave to my cravings. This freedom, and what I would say is true freedom, is something that everyone should experience, cause it is an incredible thing that makes life feel like you're living it.

This becoming a real discussion is very encouraging . I quit sugar 11 years ago. No one was talking about it then, and I lived in a town famous for making chocolate, and was married to someone who worked for the company. Candy was a daily staple in our house. So it took a fair amount of resolve. But I had developed several health conditions related to weight and stress and I was scared. Within a year of quitting I was healthy, fit and more serene. I'm not even going to say how much weight naturally came off because that wasn't the original goal. I'm now a retired person and I look and think much younger than most of my peers. For anyone who's tried and failed, don't give up. If I can do it anyone can! PS it's true that sweet becomes almost sickening. I eat fruit instead and it's just right

After seeing such a tremendous health results, I cut on my sugar intake too. I wish I could tell everyone about this.

I have reduced the intake of sugars and carbs like baked goods. I rarely drink any fizzy drinks or fruit juices or eat boxed cereals. Instead I add a slice lemon to my plain or carbonated spring water. For breakfast I eat poached eggs, avocados, sweet potatoes with grilled tomatoes and some cheese. Other times I will cook organic oatmeal cereal and add berries and nuts and fat reduced milk. On rare days occasions I will eat fried eggs with toast or make pancakes. For lunch I eat grilled chicken with stir fried vegetables or grilled fish with either steamed or sautéed vegetables. I eat lots of different fresh fruits and vegetables. For snacks I eat mixed nuts or bite of chocolate or rarely serving of ice cream or a cookie. I avoid fried and salty snacks like chips. I don’t go to the gym or run. I just do a brisk walk daily of 5-10km depending on the weather. I try to walk everywhere rather than drive. With this simple routine of eating well, moderate exercise and enjoying simple pleasures of life has helped me maintain my bmi, blood sugars, cholesterol and blood pressure.

Ladies, start quitting sugar on your period or right after because you are more prone to sticking with your new good habits during your follicular phase. Luteal phase is the worst to build new habits and particularly those that involve not eating the delicious sugar you crave so much before your period (been tracking my cycles for the last 9 years) Also, not eating sugar really helps diminishing cramps and swelling during your period. :)

Thank you for sharing your experience pros & cons through the process. It helps me understand about the crashes & effects I've been having. Now I am more encouraged to attempt one day at a time quitting sugar. I know it won't be easy but it's necessary to the quality of my life.

as someone who rarely will eat candy bars, cakes, etc. I notice that when I do have a slice when offered, that I want it again the next day. It takes me maybe two days only though before it's out of my system and I don't "crave" it....while when I've gone through periods of time where pies and cookies were the norm, it took me much longer to "withdraw".

I used to love sweets a lot and I gave them up for few weeks and now I don’t even have a wish or a need to eat them. But one thing is important, sugar is in everything processed. That’s why I’m 90% of the day eating only fresh or frozen veggies and fruits.

I walk through the Aldi grocery store now and see the brightly colored packages holding all the processed poison I used to crave. It's a shame it took me decades to figure it out. Thank God for the internet and the ability for folks like you to get a message out beyond the stranglehold of the old guard media, government, and corporations.

Good for you! The social aspect is very challenging and that is when the will power gets to be insane. Happy for you!

Thank you for sharing your experience. I've been thinking about doing this. It's time. You and others sharing removes any hesitation from it!

I am Italian and I lived for 2 years in Latin America and spent a few months in the States. When I was living on the other side of the ocean, I noticed that food tasted much sweeter than in Europe. Even desserts were too sweet for my taste. I have also realized that most people don't read food labels, while in Europe is pretty common...plus I think the European regulations on food production are stricter.

Basically no added sugar but even before added sugar was quite low. My HgA1c dropped from 7.9% to 5.5% in 4 months which mean I managed to reverse my diabetes .

A few years ago I met a 75 year old who had given up sugar a few years previously. I discovered this after asking his age and being amazed, since he looked MUCH younger and, moved like a young person and was very energetic, I asked him what his secret was. He told me that since he gave up sugar, he has boundless energy. He was very inspirational.

Ok but did you eat fruits and how many per day?

I tried cutting out sugar 100% by going cold turkey. I kept failing multiple times. Then I devised another game plan. I would eat sugar on one day and the next day no sugar. A month later I did eat sugar one day and then two days of no sugar. About two months later I did one day eat sugar then the next three days no sugar. In about four months on my sugar day I cut the sugar content by 50%. In the fifth month I was completely off of sugar. 100% off from sugar, one of the best decisions in my life!

Me and my son stopped eating added sugars or white processed sugar and white flour for 4 months now! We feel great! We have more energy, think more clearly, my sons knees don’t hurt, and we have lost unwanted body fat.

The mental change is amazing. Before I stopped sugar, I never knew that I felt a constant low level of anxiety. And mood swings felt normal, too. Without sugar I feel much better, and when I stop both sugar and wheat I actually feel genuinely content and completely calm. It's the best feeling in the world!

a good trick for sugar lovers is giving yourself realistic timming, like 2 weeks without sugar, when these 2 weeks pass, you add few more days or another week, and keep posponing it. Its easier for your brain to proceed 2 weeks without sugar than a whole year, it looks more realistic for most of the people who have big sugar problems and at some point you just don't want it anymore

I am 66 years old. Up to age 63, I ate a lot of sweets, even if it was just a few squares of chocolate at the end of the day. But then an unrelated serious health matter came up, which caused me to visit an acupuncturist. He had me totally overhaul my eating habits, which included not eating any added sugar. My appearance really improved. My skin looked better and I dropped quite a bit of weight. Because I saw such dramatic benefits, I have stayed with it.

I quit sugar for 3 months in 2021 and it was really an amazing experience. I'm determined to start back on the no added sugar diet soon. I really am tired of always feeling so lethargic as well.

Thank you for your video! I quit sugar, sugar substitutes, all bread and pasta (anything that converts to sugar) and diet soda a week ago and I have had migraine headaches for the last three days. I have had really bad body aches and pains. I have been very irritable, Ive had hot sweat flashes, I have had cold flashes and lots of trouble sleeping.. I cannot wait until this is passed and I am looking forward to all those benefits you have mentioned..

Im on month 4 and I feel amazing, I Had a headache for 5 days the first few weeks, got cranky and felt pretty crappy..... But it was so worth it. I sleep so good now, have energy all day, workout daily and its been a game changer. and let me tell you I was a sweet tooth junkie... If i can do it anyone can...

As an Australian I notice that a lot of foods that come from America are really sweet. Things like bread, or beetroot (which we have pickled).

it's no mistake that the foods from the States are sweeter. I believe part of it is because a lot of marketing research goes into taste testing prepared foods and results indicate prepared food products have a better chance of selling if they are sweet. There was an excellent BBC documentary entitled something like the Truth About Sugar that touched on this. So yes, Sam Day, it does seem that it's even harder now to avoid sugar if one eats processed food. I never used to cook, but now I make the effort. Even cooking simply has been a game changer for me.

EKN, I agree. We have noticed, when you change your eating/cooking habits new realisations occur. We have developed new cooking skills and favourite recipes (esp when we are feeling lazy or arrive at dinner time late, and have alternatives to take away food). Realisations like that you can eat zucchini raw, you don’t need to cook it until it waves a white flag. We eat a lot more raw foods, like salads as a main (hearty or decadent salads) as a main, like Thai beef salad, or salads with nuts, seeds, meats or cheeses added. Raw veg is unprocessed goodness, and we feel better after meals for it. If you’re still hungry, eat some fruit!

I've been sugar free for years now. After you get used to it, you get to notice how things like bread & pasta start affecting you just like sugar did. So, if you really want to quit sugar (as your body sees it) you also need to quit products made with ultra-refined flour and soy, which turn into glucose within minutes in your stomach (just like sugar). These include pasta, bread, savory biscuits and cakes etc.

Thanks for sharing this amazing journey, challenge, lifestyle, etc. One thing you mentioned about how your skin seemed to become thicker surprised me because lately I’ve been wanting my skin to be thicker because it’s seems like I have sensitive or weak skin. Like in the summer if I sweat to much and something very blunt scrapes against my skin it easily peel is like onion or something without me feeling it. Also I was always thinking that thicker skin was symbolic to having juicy youthful skin s dry thin skin. But everything else you talked about are all the things I really want to enjoy for the rest of my life. I really just think something is secretly scary about how sugar is everything. Especially in things you don’t really think about it being in. I always found that to be sneaky and bothersome. For a very long time I always think about going on a sugarless or limited diet. I’m gunna do it soon.

Awesome video! I’ve been cutting down on sugar by splitting things like a candy bar or small soda over the span of three day, that way I consume less but I still fulfill my craving. I will continue cutting down after seeing this and your benefits!

Early humans didn't have fruits as sugary as nowadays, they're a product of more than 10000 years of intentional breeding. This lack of sugar in nature would among other things explain why our sugar reception is so naturally sensitive. "original" fruits are estimated to be much more similar to vegetables than they are to modern fruits.

Thats just not true. There is still a bunch of types of fruits that are conidered "wild". I live in a rural area and close to wildernes. Wild berries are less sweat, but still sweat.

@@woozie3241 well even berries were domesticated but yes they are sweeter than wild large fruit would be, assuming that they really are wild then they are sweet at a sufficient amount to encourage birds to eat them, take into consideration that berries are much smaller fruits so naturally it's far less costly for the plant to make them sweet, but wild berries are also quite scarce in nature, certainly not enough to occupy a significant calorie percentage if you also realize that humans lived in groups and would divide the food. So even with sweet berries we would still only get miniscule amounts of sugar into our system.

@@noam_segal nah bro, nut just berries. The wilderness i go to and find these wild trees and bushes is a place where no civilization ever cultivated it, so its 100% not touched by humans. There are apples, pears, berries, strawberries, cherries... And all of them are sweet. Just speaking from personal experience

how can you find out if a fruit is wild like just because they are picked from the tree doesn’t mean they are wild look at a banana for example original wild bananas have seeds in them but when you pick them from a tree they don’t, probably because they were domesticated but how can you find a wild fruit I feel like nowadays in the modern ages it’s very difficult

Whew, I hung on until the end. Your testimony was encouraging. Thanks.

I'm currently at 2 months with no added sugars. I feel like a million bucks. I already believe I'm not going to go back. The physical and mental changes have been incredible.

We like how informative your videos! No drama!

I'm sober from caffeine for almost one week and start to feel the benefits. It feels like becoming a human again, hard to explain. Now I'm cutting off refined sugar. Kinda hyped.

I have been off processed/added sugar food for about a month. Been off caffeine, Tea/coffee/coke etc for years now. I needed motivation for my early morning walk so had a large mug of coffee, what a high I got, still get an obvious hit every morning for the last week and that is just one mug each morning, powerful stuff.

I did this for 2 years without even like trying. I was in a phase where I'd rather eat watermelon than candy. Everybody in my life noticed the difference and so did I soon enough

I went without sugar in my life a long time ago after having my first child. My life was so phenomenal. I went back to it after my second child and gave in to the social norm. I have been trying to be alcohol, sugar and caffeine free for the last 3 years. I am getting there and back on track. I appreciate you helping me on this journey! I need this reminder while my brain is not clear yet.

awesome stuff brother!! Great inspiration

Quit eating sugar and artificial sugar 2 years ago. It's so freeing to be rid of the addiction. Thank you for promoting a healthier lifestyle, and exposing the fake food industry.

I am in awe of your willpower! I've tried to quit sugar so many times now but I always cave at one point. You have inspired me to try again though and hopefully succeed this time!

That's really great! An encouragement to try it for sure! Thank you!
