Oh my gosh. That happened to me! For 33 years I struggled with terrible breath no matter what I did. I brushed 3 times a day, frosted every day, did not use mouthwashes with alcohol and I would still have such bad breath that people would back away from me while I talked. I got to where I stopped hanging out with people because of the struggle with my death breath. It smelt like really strong poop. I would brush my tongue very well to wear it would look healthy and pink and even when I'd just drink water 30 minutes after, it would get white stuff all on it again. I went to a dentist for help and he recommended using a neti pot. I did so and it did nothing. My dad used to always pick on me and tell me how awful my breath was. He would say it outsold infront of people. That's when I realized how bad it was. When I would go on dates, I would have to carry a toothbrush and Toothpaste in my pocket and excuse myself every 30 minutes to go brush my teeth in secret. I also used a water flosser and a dentists hook every single day. STILL had poop breath. Well, I have been sugar and flour free for 58 days now and a miracle happened. For the first time in 33 years, my tongue is not developing white stuff and I don't even really need to brush my teeth anymore. I still do it because I like to, but my mouth feels clean even when I don't brush. Sometimes I even forget I didn't brush before I left the house. And my teeth always feels so smooth. I've been on the carnivore diet and it had helped my breath tremendously.

DR…… I suffered severe gout for 9 years … you have literally saved my live Sir! After listening and taking notes on most of your amazing videos I have completely cured myself of gout and lost 96 lbs.

Tough times don’t last, but tough people do. You cannot change the past, and the future has not come. All you have control over is the current moment. And in this moment, you have a choice: to be better, or bitter. It’s may be tough, but this heat and pressure will turn you into a diamond. You’re okay with who you are, and now all you have left to go it up. You’ll meet your goals. With consistency and patience, you can achieve anything!

Since I stopped sugar about 2 months ago including all normal carbohydrate from rice, grain, flour... I lost 10 lbs and I am not even overweight, and my body been feeling so good, feel light, and blood pressure been stabilizing normal 110/65. I just follow your advice of beginner keto, and did it. Having my meal twice a day, with lots of varieties green, vegies, and then avocado, eggs, meat, and seafood, berries for fruits. When I discover I have hypertension, I told my Doctor instead of taking medication, let me try a different diet to help my condition first, and I am glad I did. Thank you so much

I remember eating a ton of sugar through cereal, candy, pastry and pretty much everything that has added sugar in it back when i was a kid. Didn’t have any problems until i was 17, and started having bleeding gums, lethargy, joint pain, low cognitive function, dry corners of the mouth and etc. Discovered fasting and Dr Berg’s channel. Total game changer. I still have my pastry here and there, but thanks to this channel, my awareness doesn’t allow me to overdo it.

One of the best, simplistic informational videos that I have seen to date on sugar consumption. I had a terrible habit of consuming candy and saturated foods late at night, which had an adverse effect on my body. Although I would work out on a frequent basis, I suffered from frequent headaches and anxiety attacks. I didn't realize the level of my sugar addiction until my immune system became compromised and I would battle frequent viruses. Since eliminating candy and other processed sugars, I've increased my daily functional strength, added additional mental clarity, and sustain a healthier approach to life in general!

I maintained it for quite awhile but then in 2018 my husband passed away and I ballooned back up to 320lbs by April 2022. I stopped all sodas. Drank lots of water. Did nothing else and in 6 months dropped 65lbs. Now here I am 16 months later and have lost 90lbs... My goal is another 50-55 lbs away...

Doctor Berg you are absolutely right. I've been listening for years and finally got off sugar and everything you say is a 100% true.

I’ve been off sugar for 11 weeks, been following your vid’s and a clean keto diet and I’m down 27 lbs. I’m off my Prilosec after 25 years(my dr said I’d be on it my entire life) almost off my BO meds completely (only taking a 1/4 of my regular dose ) and off my antidepressants completely!

Thank you Dr. Berg for all of your wealth of information. I’m very thankful and now I have to retrain myself on my eating habits. I’m not bad and I’m not overweight & that’s sometimes the thing that keeps me stringing the sugar along. I need to get serious and do what is best for my body. I’m bad about overeating…I just keep eating…waiting till I’m full & then overfill hits me & I’m mad at myself. I’m 63 and I know how beneficial this advice can be for my body & brain! 😊 🙏🏻

You are amazing and I'm so happy to see you talking about this. So much that's gone wrong with my body was fixed by attending to it with your wisdom.

I really love Dr Berg's approach in every video. It usually seems to go something like: 1) Here's what the mechanism of action is 2) Here's what the end result is 3) I'm not gonna tell you to not/never eat that, but now at least you know what the issues are 4) Here's what you can do to mitigate the damage

Since going Keto in February, I've lost 25 pounds, my blood pressure is down from 145/90 avg to 112/72 avg. My last glucose test was 81. I have more energy than I have in the last several years. I went on a field trip to an amusement park with my 18 year old daughter and her friends. They all crashed by 4:30 pm, but I kept going. I managed to conquer every roller coaster in the park, and thst was after hiking 5 miles the night before. If I do get a sweet craving, I have one square of 90% cacao chocolate with a little butter or a handful of berries and I'm good. Thanks to Dr. Berg and Dr. Berry for turning me on to this diet.

Dear Dr. Berg, thank you sincerely for the comprehensible and fantastic content. I'm really glad I've found your channel. I've instantly subscribed. Greetings, Patrick

It was really difficult for me to quit sugar 1 year ago, but I built up a habit of only consuming sugar 3 times a week and then twice a week to once a week. And I personally recommend this technique if it’s really difficult for you to quit sugar. But I now only eat sugar once a week and workout often ’cause I can’t really quit sugar completely.

Started Keto and stopped abusing sugar October 2022. Dropped 35 pounds! All associated ailments disappeared like inflammation, sleepiness, GURD, etc. Now it's a lifestyle and I know I am doing the right thing and feel better for it.

I was not given sweet treats as a child and I never developed a sweet tooth.

How I WISH that was my story. I wasn't allowed to have so now... I want it... HOW did y'all get rid of your cravings for sugar????

brother. this is a clear and concise representation of what i know from living in my own body. .... replacing bread and sugar with meats and produce will change your life!!

It has been 2 years since I stopped consuming sugar, and the effects on my body have been incredibly positive. However, the beginning was very challenging. The first day without sugar was still okay, but by the second and third day, cravings for something sweet started to emerge. From day 4 to a week later, I experienced intense cravings, as if I really needed and wanted to eat something sweet. After getting through this withdrawal phase, everything gradually improved, and I noticed some significant changes in my body. I now feel full for a longer time, experience less fatigue from my daily job activities, and my mood has improved. Additionally, I have noticed that my skin is brighter (all the ladies will love this, lol). So, yeah, that's what happened to me, but it's important to note that the impact can vary from person to person.

Excellent video. When I was a schoolboy in 1967, I read an article in the magazine Scientific American entitled 'The Sugar Hazard' by John Yudkin. In 1972 I read his book 'Pure, White and Deadly'. His research stretches back to (at least) the late fifties. Robert Lustig refers at length to Yudkin. How could it be that the findings and advice have been smothered for the intervening decades?!

Thank you Dr. Berg for another great video. I avoid sugar like it is poison. I read every label and avoid it. Of course I buy very, very little packaged products. But thank you for being one of the best sources for keeping us healthy. I thank God for providing you in our lives and keeping us all informed/ healthy, safe. You truly are a blessing to all of us.

Thank you, Dr. Berg, for shedding light on the hidden dangers of sugar. It's eye-opening to realize how much hidden sugar lurks in our everyday food. Many processed foods, condiments, and even seemingly healthy options can be loaded with hidden sugars, contributing to various health issues. It's important to read food labels carefully and be mindful of ingredients like high fructose corn syrup, dextrose, or maltose. Educating ourselves about hidden sugars empowers us to make healthier choices. Your videos are truly enlightening and have been instrumental in improving my understanding of nutrition. Thank you for your invaluable insights!

@@tela2171 Thank you for your comment, Tela. We understand your perspective that sugar itself may not be dangerous in moderation, and it's indeed true that moderation plays a crucial role in our overall health. However, Dr. Berg's videos and the studies we have followed present the hidden dangers of excessive sugar consumption in our modern diet. While natural sugars found in whole fruits are accompanied by fiber and other beneficial nutrients, it's important to note that excessive consumption of even natural sugars can also have negative health effects. Dr. Berg's emphasis on reducing overall sugar intake, including both added and natural sugars, aligns with the goal of optimizing our health and preventing various health conditions. By raising awareness about the hidden sugars in our everyday food and encouraging mindful consumption, we aim to empower individuals to make informed choices for their well-being. It's always wise to consider the comprehensive body of evidence and expert opinions to make educated decisions about our health. Thank you for engaging in this important discussion, and we appreciate your openness to considering different perspectives. Let's continue to learn and grow together toward better health. 😀

Out here in LA theres this Korean BBQ chain called GENx i have been there long before subscribing to your channel like 2 years ago and those all you can eat buffet that’s alot of meat to batter the kidneys and liver.

Now I look and feel amazing thanks to all your diligent informative life changing case studies and analysis.

I did a three day fast and felt amazing! A month prior I’d been on a carnivore diet. And felt better then ever! I just broke my fast today with half a steak and 2 eggs. I put salt and butter on it and it made me feel even better. I will forever advocate for the carnivore diet and eating Whole Foods.

When I went back to my usual intake to test how my body reacts, oh wow- acne reappears, stress reaction exacerbates, crazy cravings went up like sugar drug and my digestive system was not happy. I still eat natural sugar that’s in like honey and fruits. I do feel free and my cravings when going to grocery stores are well managed like when I’m hungry, I just want fruits & veggies and water only… I also found out that I’m low on zinc so I’m working on that.
