    It’s horrible. I am 10 years clean from alcohol and a couple of other outside issues. I just got over withdrawal from sugar and refined carbs, and believe me, I had withdrawals. Maybe because of my past opioid use, but it was close to that withdrawal. Whole body pain, insomnia, you name it. Doing much better now and I feel so much better! My brain functions are back after damn near dementia, and I have more stamina, and can feel joy for a change.😂 Plus I’m skinny again. I highly recommend quitting.

    Thank you for your posting! I have insomnia, severe short term memory loss that’s scaring me and whole body pain that I couldn’t relate to any particular activity. My doctor ordered bloodwork that didn’t reveal a cause. But sugar addiction screams loud and clear. I am a sugar addict but I didn’t realize what I was experiencing was from sugar. Certainly makes sense now. This very day, April 14, 2024 is the first day of my going off sugar and with the Lord’s grace being successful!

    He is telling you what you want to hear. Unfortunately that is far removed from the truth. Are you so dumb to think sugar is more responsible than other foods for so many overweight people? You don't believe cheeseburgers without the bun,, pepperoni cauliflower crust pizza, chicken wings, bacon and eggs, keto ice scream, T-bone steaks, and fried chicken won't make you fat? C'mon use your brain. Sugar consumption has declined significantly in the USA in the last twenty years. Obesity has kept going up at the same rate.

    Dr Lustig is very passionate about human anatomy and public health. What *is* surprising is his admission about caffeine - as it's a cerebral vasoconstrictor and considering how important white brain matter is, you would think he might eschew it in that regard. I imagine most things in moderation are equally helpful.

    I would like to see more (ANY) studies done to test how reducing sugar can help fight cancer. Without going into detail... I was diagnosed with an aggressive cancer, was at stage 4. The DNA testing on the tumor estimated a 5 year life expectancy. I followed the recommended life extension treatments. I ALSO eliminated ALL sugar sources from my diet. NOW, I am testing as cancer free in under one year! AND I lost over 80 pounds and feel great. No longer on blood pressure pills. In my opinion, if your Doctor / Nutritionist do not recommend on every visit that you switch to a LOW sugar or Sugar Free Diet, you need to take action for yourself and even look for another health care practitioner.

    Dr Lustig makes a point that fructose is the addictive substance, in contrast to glucose. I can think of lots of counter examples. I loved to eat macaroni. As I understand, that's not fructose. It breaks down to glucose. Also I ate potatoes. I don't eat them now, because I am diabetic now. I used to eat bread and butter.

    I went keto then did meditation bought nothing in a packet except for deliberately allowing myself chocolate at weekends. Cold turkey is easier if you learn how to do total fasting. I found out that bread was deal breaker. I could not just have one slice. Chocolate was different somehow. So the trigger for me is bread and must be totally avoided in my case. I fast at least eighteen hours most days and then total fast for 36 hours once o'er week. Eating fat like butter or lard and not being afraid of it has helped me escape the sugar trap.

I had been on a normal American diet, sugar and fast food. I went on a low carb and high fat diet. Carnivore with low carbs. Went I had my latest blood work after 4 months, my glucose went up from 92 to 108. Fasting insulin was 10. Fatty liver test went from 26 to 32. Uric acid was 7.8. How can my metabolic health get worse when I cut out 90% of the junk I was eating? I’m at a loss and I’m worried about my uric acid and sugar. I was eating everything and tons of sugar and cookies and my blood work was better. Hope you can help me

    HiJim: those numbers are puzzling. I have a few thoughts : did you gain any weight because the body can make its own sugar ( gluconeogenesis) from protein and fats especially if the calories count is too high. Are you eating large amounts of fruit? The body cannon ert excess fructose to glucose. What are you drinking? Both soda and fruit juice are literally liquid sugar and can mess with your metabolism. Sports drinks are often high in sugar. One of Dr. Lustigs videos mentioned an athlete whose performance was deteriorating, he was as prediabetic and had to quit his sports drink. Also you said you quit 90 % of the junk food you were eating . This implies you are still eating some junk food.i suggest testing suspicious items with a glucometer to see which foods are spikingyour sugar. You could also test blood sugar one hour after a meal.

    I used to regularly get myself 2 candy bars whenever I went to the store, and really enjoy them. (plus other stuff) The way I backed off of them was by sensing what I was able to put off or say no to at the moment, realizing I didn't want to sneak or shame myself or hide, but I just kind of was my friend and said no to what I could, without being punitive. I changed my habits over time. So I don't know if that story is any good for you, I'm just thinkin' about what you're sayin'.

Because its not same if person eats 25 grams of sugar in single meal, or divided in 3 meals with several hours apart, then absorption is more balanced, even if person eats 40 grams is in my opinion better then its divided in 4 meals than 25 grams in single meal

    Healthy eating starts with healthy shopping. It helps to know that the grocery industry only gives you the illusion of choice. In reality they want to control everything you eat. I only buy single ingredient foods and I do all my food preparation myself. Well, OK, I allow myself some splurges but, for the most part, I never buy processed foods or even foods with more than one ingredient. The quickest easiest way to improve your shopping health is to avoid anything in a brightly coloured package.

    Simple way is to not eat any sugar. Once you quit, after a while you get used to it and you won't miss the sugar. Sugar is terrible for you, so unhealthy for the body. Sugar from fruits isn't bad, plus it's not added sugar.

    Going cold turkey is a recipe for failure/depression considering the nag of withdraw. I accidently started juicing a year prior to limiting sugar (then wheat, corn, rice and soybean oil). Now I blend for the fiber and nutrients. Nutritional saturation is needed to build willpower to resist the call of the nag, pretending to be hunger. Sugar robs a homie of nutrition. After decades of sweet and sour pork over rice, eating bok choy, onion and garlic stir fry seems remote. It was a lot easier to limit sugar AND wheat after building up nutrition. Especially on Friday nights when reasoning tries to convince you, you deserve a pizza for being so good.

    About 3 weeks ago I stopped eating sugar, or most of it. I have used a spritz of maple syrup once or twice. I've only eaten whole food, real food, no meat. I stopped because I realized I was getting the jitters from sugar related hunger pangs and glucose spikes. It's working! I'm 75, and I've abused my body for a long time. It's never too late to learn or to change. in fact, change is guaranteed. With regard to withdrawal, I ate fruit instead, along with my rice, beans, greens and grains. I've tempered the fruit some now.

    Its not only sugar, its where sugar is formed. Red beet salad has sugar and its sweet, but after you eat like 100-150 grams you dont get cravings or eat 500 grams. While Coca Cola has also sugar, but most of people wont be satisfied by drinking only 1 glass, there are many cases where people drink 2 litres of it daily.

    Required for what? Carbohydrate, including sugar, is the only macronutrient not needed from an external source, as the body will create the glucose it needs through a process called gluconeogenesis. There are many people who have started eating a carnivore diet in which they eat zero carbohydrate, and some have been doing it for 40-50+ years without any problem. In fact, many say that eating no carbs is healthy and can reverse many issues, including autoimmune, skin, gastrointestinal and mental health issues.

There's really no study to prove anything to anyone. Just observe someone that does the aforementioned properly and see the results and there's your study. People, even in their 80's, that do this reduce immensely or even get off all medications and drop weight to a normal level with this lifestyle.

    My father was a sugar addicted led to diabetes and he had bleeding toes , even pictures of me as a new born baby in the mid 80’s , I never had healthy parents. My younger brother and I have struggled with weight on off all our lives . I am trying to be as carnivore as I possibly can. Thyroid problems, adrenal fatigue , perimenopause, think close to menopause. My mother and father diabetic,father ended up with cancer died 2005, brain cancer, now my mom has heart problems after diabetes diagnosis, 2 years ago April almost died from high blood sugar, now WAY UNDER CONTROL were it should be, now has heart issues *** Yes heart problems in her family side *** my younger brother had a heart murmur as a child. Baby pictures with my dad he was overweight not obese but overweight. He died 2 months shy of my 20 birthday……I was 19. Not yet 20. Now I am almost 39 and I have almost lost my mother a few times in the last few years …..diabetes diagnosis changed her diet huge her blood sugar is down to almost normal on Berberine. And had a major heart scare in the last year and a half almost killing me , under tremendous stress from it has led to adrenal fatigue, my blood pressure drops very low at night. I actually fainted a month ago. Now I keep a blood pressure cuff in my bed at night…..the battery operated ones and sea salt 🧂 available at bedside . I also bought Sea salt capsules I have extreme dizziness at night. Adrenals are bad. I would be dead if my father lived and taken care of 2 sick parents. All my life taken care of parents being unwell. From a child. I saw my parents in and out of hospital. Traumatic to say the least. I felt often from a child would I be orphaned.

Hormone problems which I got too. Adrenals weak all my life leading to chronic health problems like allergies etc……allergies to food etc…..all stem from weak adrenals.

    Thanks for the information. I definitely agree with the idea that you need to be consuming mostly unprocessed/minimally processed foods while getting a sufficient amount of fiber.

    The fiber doesn’t go away in then blender. No different than your molars grinding it up. Blender just pre-starts the digestive process. Blender isn’t juicing. Everything you put in is still there. If you’re still worried about the fiber, throw a few hemp/ chia/flax seeds in.

Whenever I ate dessert that's all I would it. I quit using sugar in my tea and coffee years ago. So I don't understand the addiction part. And food breaks down to sugar anyway.
