30 Days Of Sugar: How I Lost 12 Pounds In One Month

[@BriannaSantoyo-c2w]

I have been waiting what feels like YEARS for you to release this video. Reminds me of the hustle you put in during the Big Mac challenge. Love you man and the work you do. I’m a big big fan of all your channels, especially your podcast. Thanks Jordan!

[@jordansyatt]

Thank you so much!

[@shawnajones9287]

Stopping this video (@ 35:45) because I’m in TEARS, actual REAL effin tears!! I’m a T1D, have been since 2006, I’m 42 years old, mother of 2, wife of 20 years…& this was ME- EVERY. DAMN. DAY.-prior to getting my insulin pump & CGM!! The slurring my speech, the EXTREME exhaustion, the headaches…2 extremely CLOSE calls while driving….this is RAW & REAL! I STILL struggle with my weight & need to lose about 25 more lbs…but I’m so GLAD to have found you & this video! Way to bring awareness to everyone using CGM’s & NOT NEEDING them -along with ozempic & mounjaro, etc for “weight loss” - I’ve got a long way to go but my A1c’s have been under 6 for years because of being able to monitor my sugars with the CGM & pump! Keep doing YOU! You are a HUGE help to me! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻

[@hotlatte3230]

The whole part of being a little hungry resonates so much. I picked up a nasty habit of snacking at night and middle of the night when I gave birth 3 years ago. I just have accomplished 3 days no snacking after 8pm until breakfast! 🎉 I made myself some tea, filled up ice and water, journaled, watch some videos, got up walked around, and told my brain its okay we do not need food to get back to sleep! I have felt so much better, less bloated, I got more sleep, less insomnia! I know alot is stress related so I'm taking baths, making sure I excercise and get my steps in, eating breakfast not skipping meals, getting more protein and fiber!

[@ggmcsassy]

I've been waiting for this one! Thank you for doing this and showing the importance of just plain 'ol calorie deficit! I am having weight loss success for the first time ever without trying to cut out some favorite food group and just working with a calorie deficit. Cutting out carbs ALWAYS worked but I was NEVER able to sustain it longer than a couple of weeks, and I always gained the weight back and more. Because of that I have just avoided trying to lose weight even though I desperately need to for my health. Something clicked back in August and I realized that all of the calorie deficit talk might actually be the solution and I could still have a regular sandwich with actual bread! So, I'm 10 pounds down and am waking up each day knowing that it IS possible to lose weight if I am just consistent with my calorie deficit. Whew, who knew just eating less (regular foods) would cause weight loss? 🤦‍♀ Thank you for the common sense!

[@tobiecharles4212]

The oatmeal spike really resonated with me! I have gestational diabetes and it's been mind boggling trying to discover what is going to spike my blood sugar. I found I could eat a mcdonalds breakfast meal with hashbrown and full fat cappuccino and get no spike at all, yet my oats with nuts, blueberries, chia seeds and cinnamon gave me a spike. It's really interesting but stressful! Your video has come at a great time for me so thank you!

[@MichelleBlackChannel]

yes it's very interesting I agree.

[@waffle_chair9269]

Grains can cause sugar spikes, because they converted as carbs into usable energy just like sugar. Makes sense. Fibre can slow it down. I wonder if you ate nuts half hour before the oats , or a cup of drinkable fibre, if it would change the oat effects.

[@minimalea]

I love porridge but ima hungry shortly after.. could binge 1kg without feeling full

[@stephanie8699]

Much Respect on the amount of time and effort you put into this! awesome info. I would love to see this same experiment in a perimenopausal/menopausal person. That group is the one most susceptible to diet fads and misinformation. I feel like adding hormones into the game would yield different results, but I could be wrong!

[@lina_useche]

Jordan, you're amazing! I spent all my early 20s worrying about not being able to lose weight because of my insulin resistance, and I swear to you a video like this one would've saved me so many awful days of battling with my own body. This is very very needed, keep up the good work!

[@ajoykhaund8299]

Moderation is the key word. Just love the way you explain everything in such a lucid way. Thanks. Always keep looking forward for your 'weird' stuff.

[@jordansyatt]

Thank you so much!

[@diamondvikingcrypto5369]

True, but the less sugar I consume. The less I crave it and to binge eat. And low sugar and carbs makes intermittent fasting a lot easier for me.

[@DanyelleMullins]

@@lynxsphynx9787 I hope you believe that all children are innocent.

[@goduxunike]

Nowadays I just avoid sugar most days because the spikes and drops feel horrible and mess with my productivity. But on the weekend I might get the occasional pastry or so. There are ways to live with sugar without being a slave of it

[@april4657]

I love this video. We went from the 2000s low fat era to the 2020s high fat era. It's time for variety, moderation, and figuring out what works for you as an individual.

[@AmeeraG242]

This channel helped me alot at the beginning of my 1 year journey of losing weight. I had insulin resistance after pregnancy I gained about 85 lbs with two pregnancies. Previously I had never been over weight so it was really hard for me and I didn't know what to do. I also had Insane amounts of anxiety that I battled almost daily for 10 years ! I have now lost a total of 67 lbs ❤!! I did actually have to stop eating sugar for most of this time because I noticed it was a huge factor in sparking my anxiety. Even things like rice and more sugary fruits were giving me huge amounts of anxiety with very physical symptoms , like neck muscles tightening, dizziness even a vertigo like feeling, sweating, high adrenaline and extreme fear almost immediately after eating something like that ( unrelated to stress). I counted calories for the first half of the journey and then switched to fasting and low carb high protein moderate fat with alot of walking and eventually lifting weights 4 days a week and the weight is falling off !! I didn't find I need to track my calories as much as I knew what amounts looked like and I knew I wasn't eating as much especially including fasting. It's just what worked for me and where I feel the best physically and mentally. I have occasionally had pizza and ice cream and some alcohol but I just kept going and I continued to lose weight or rather fat as he mentions. Definitely a focus on nutrient dense foods is the best solution.

[@connielindeman5202]

Jordan! Once again bringing us the truths about health, weight loss and a healthy relationship with food and exercise!!! I love your passion to help others who struggle with all of the above or are buried deep in all the bull shit and lies forced down their throats by scammers, crooks and influencers who care about one thing only…money! Keep up the good work my friend…you are needed and your mission and passion are blessed by God!

[@MarkyV83]

So, to sum up, it's time to stop believing all the BS online, and if you want to lose weight, you have to be in a steady calorie deficit. None processed foods keep you full for longer. Processed food is ok but not nutritional dense and will make your weight loss goals harder because you'll be hungrier.

[@nataliaspinelli9747]

Yes!!!!❤❤❤❤

[@Thistooshallpass2]

It really is that simple .. people just need to be accountable and be real with themselves and keep it simple!

Hi. I told you in the last video That I was going to get on track today and get my steps in Proud to say between walking dogs housework and some shopping I’ve racked up nearly six thousand steps Paying for it now with my foot pain and back but Determined to keep going Thank you for happening along my KZbin page 😊

[@chelseawicklund2206]

This experiment and video is AMAZING. Thank you for taking the time to do this. Also, as a Type 1 Diabetic- I am pretty jealous of your minor blood sugar spikes after eating bread and Frappuccinos 🤣 you are inspiring Jordan, thank you again.

[@stepherssays]

Your message needs to go far and wide. Everyone needs to see and hear this. Such great information! Thank you!

[@adish2191]

I followed your progress with this on Instagram and have been WAITING for this video to come out. I have a friend who tried to tell me glucose spikes would stop me from losing weight. They would not listen when I said calories are KING when trying to lose fat and I can't wait to show them this video. Thank you, Jordan, for always putting out good information and showing me I can eat my favorite foods and still lose weight.

[@Ironclad6661]

I concur I did keto for a year. I bought into the whole EAT as much as you want just cut carbs under 20g a day. That was shitty advice. I lost 30 pounds and it stalled CICO still is a thing. I went to Snake Diet and lost 20 pounds in the first 10 days (why because I wasn't eating calories except 500 calorie refeeds every 2-3 days) When my results start to stall on low carb refeeds I'll give this a shot but my results are 1-2 pounds a day right now so hard to justify a change until those results slow down.

[@Djk8263]

I was OMAD for 4+ years. The last 4 of which I was regularly burning 4500-5000/day at work. I was eating 800-1200cals. I barely lost weight. If anything it just made it easier to maintain. I have now switched jobs. And while my body comp has def changed, for the worse, I've only gained 3 lbs. I decided to talk to a nutritionist about what I need to change. I logged my food and activities. She told me I wasn't eating enough. So I have begun aiming to eat 1660cals per day based on my 175 lbs weight. I've done that for 2 months now, measuring everything food wise by weight and logging it. Most days I have to force myself to reach that number. I haven't lost or gained any weight, or seen any difference in my body comp, while still feeling like I'm force feeding myself. I workout and hike regularly. I'm 'trusting the process' of reverse dieting. But my mind still can't wrap itself around how this is even possible. If I am still under eating, and was severely under eating before, how do I still maintain the high body weight. I know people say I must not be truthful about what I'm eating and how much I'm active...but I am!!! I really am. I want to fix this but can't seem to get my weight to budge. I got off birth control and that hasn't made a difference either. I'm baffled. And I haven't had anyone that can figure it out. I seriously don't know what else to do.

[@Graulau2010]

Get some bloodwork and hormone testing done.

[@davidiglesias9549]

Unless u are an olympic athlete I doubt you were burning 4500 calories at work.... that's equivalent to walking 45 miles

[@Djk8263]

@@davidiglesias9549haha what? I hike on steep slopes all day, 10hr days, with 50-75lbs of gear, swing an axe all day too. My coworkers burn more calories, so much so that they keep a meal on their nightstand for when they wake up in the middle of the night due to hunger. My VO2 max is that of an elite athlete.

Currently monitoring mine due to VSG surgery and even though saw every IG post, keen to watch! Want to walk into the Endo with knowledge 👍

[@raindopsonros3s]

I love this video. Solid arguments against multiple fear mongering tactics on social media. I appreciate the section on hunger. For a long time I thought that calorie dense foods are too hard to fit in because of hunger which led to avoidance and a poor relationship with food and a diet hamster wheel. But I’ve recognized it’s not that I can’t fit anything I just can’t eat like I used to where the majority of foods are low nutrient calorie dense foods. Including favorites is key to sticking with the cut but majoring in nutrition is key to staying in a deficit.

[@Kimeikus]

Dr. Jason Fung is punching the air right now. 😂 If you don’t know who he is: He’s so dogmatic about how “calorie deficits are useless” and that all you have to do to lose fat is to stop eating sugar.

Lol!

Thanks to Jason Fung I learned I can eat 100,000 calories every day and still drop fat because I avoid sugar! Thanks Jason! /s

I’ve loved following along this experiment on Instagram and this is also such a great video. I admire your dedication to these videos and find them fascinating . I do wonder if the effects would be different on a female doing this experiment too though. Been listening to Dr. Mindy Pelz a lot lately and she goes on and on about blood sugar and how bad it is for female hormones. ( also states wearing a CGM being the only way to know about blood sugar spikes and we should all be testing ourselves to know if we are breaking our fasts correctly). Would be so curious to see a woman do this, especially a 30+ one.

[@Vendettabot23]

I really appreciate how thoughtfully and carefully you have approached this experiment and the amount of time and research you've invested to help clear up some of the myths around fat loss and blood sugar that have been floating around. As always, excellent content!

I find this so interesting, seeing what does (oatmeal) and doesn't spike blood sugar. I think it's really valuable illustration of how one component (sugar) doesn't give you the full picture, and demonising one macronutrient or food group is ultimately so counterproductive!

[@jojobetho.9180]

Would be good to know how the sugar crashes would effect a less insulin sensitive person. Keto definitely stops hunger and cravings and would like to know if that’s due to the high protein or the lack of sugars in a normal less IS person (since most people trying to lose weight are heavier and less fit and thus more insulin resistant)

[@ashleighblasey2262]

I'm curious if you checked the accuracy of your CGM. With the Freestyle Libre 2, you can't calibrate it, and I've found that it's been off by 40 MG per DL. While your spikes may be tracked, your actual baseline may be inaccurate. I do agree that if you don't have a blood sugar problem, then you don't need one of these, but I do feel that they can be beneficial for those who may wonder how certain foods may react to their specific body, and how well their own system handle spikes. I have to add that you're also showing that you're an active person. If you work out before or after eating, your spikes will be blunted. Even a short walk blunts a spike.

[@waffle_chair9269]

I think this is a great exercise/video, but many folk will be insulin resistant, and just won’t have the metabolic flexibility and recover like you do from the sugar spiking. Try this with people in early stage of insulin resistance and see if they lose weight, I doubt this would work as well. But it could reduce cortisol levels and a great method to transition people over to healthier eating which in turn over time can improve their insulin resistance. Weight is complex and other factors such as hormones and microbiome diversity can play large and important roles in weight . Calorie deficit only works so long, before the body adapts, hence why many hit a plateau of weight loss after a period.

[@Graulau2010]

Well said. My sentiments EXACTLY !

[@KimJilene]

I was thinking the same. I am a sedentary 40+ year old obese woman (over 120lbs overweight) with hormonal issues (PMDD and possibly peri menopausal). There is a history of diabetes in my family, and due to being severely overweight, I am clearly insulin resistant. I highly doubt this experiment would have the same results on me. But I am at a point where I am willing to try anything to get my health back. Let’s see if a consistent calorie deficit of 500-600 cals/day will work on me - might as well put this experiment to test for someone that actually needs to lose a significant amount of fat.

I just have one question: being a man who practices BJJ every day + goes to the gym + hits his steps every day + has a decent amount of muscle, shouldn't your maintenance calories be much higher than 2100? According to most TDEE calculators online, 2100 is my maintenance, but I'm a small female. Do you think most TDEE calculators are overestimating my required calories?

[@cindyputnam550]

[@ven412]

HUGE, HUGE YMMV on how high blood sugar impacts individuals when it comes to mental and emotional issues. Everyone process it differently even if you aren't diagnosed with an issue. You might react better than Jordan or significantly worse. When I was IF way back when and regularly running, I went to the hospital for a routine procedure (unrelated) that required me to be fasted for 24 hours and they clocked my blood sugar in the 60s and I felt 100% fine and still very active (I took the dogs on a long walk the morning of the procedure). I assume this is because my body had become accustomed to my blood sugar levels. Others may be passing out at that blood sugar level. Same goes on the high end. When I was very obese and first started losing weight, my blood sugars were borderline diabetic and I brought them down to normal-high levels and I had all the classic symptoms of low blood sugar even though i was no where close to that number. Calories In vs Calories Out works for weight loss/gain, but it does NOT work for anything past wight loss/gain.

Awesome topic and a very well done, professional and level-headed video. I followed your blood sugar spike journey on Instagram and found it very educational. Thanks so much for all of the free, educational and informative content you provide.
