Once a pain or discomfort is relieved, it's amazing how quickly you tend to forget about it. I've found it helpful to compile a list of everything, from itchy eyes and scalp and runny nose to nerve and joint pain. It's great to look back and see all those symptoms eliminated!

When we say we won't eat sugar, does this include dried fruit and fresh fruit?

[@PWL104]

@jagoffCitizen - spot-on! The memory of the mental agitation and irritability plus gut discomfort that follows consumption of candies or chocolate, quickly fades. When the inevitable craving returns we can only think of the pleasure we feel when eating that sugar. Seems to me to be a strong characteristic of drug addiction…?

Dr Sten your video nailed it. I turned 45 this week and as a prediabetic my goal this year is to quit all sugar & snacks and eat more real food. Thank you

[@angelfriend3710]

Good morning Dr. Ekberg! I love this video! I've been "off" sugar for 3 1/2 years now, and you mentioned that your energy will increase. I can attest to that! Growing up, I always wanted a nap after eating, and especially sugary foods and drinks! Without sugar, I wake up without hitting the snooze on the alarm, I don't have an afternoon "slump" (craving a nap), and I just always feel so much better without eating sugar! Thank you for putting this out there! It's so good to know what is going on in the body when you stop sugar! Hope you have a Fri-yay and a great weekend!😊

[@angelfriend3710]

I eat about 1/4 cup of blueberries regularly. They are full of polyphenols, and are a super food for your brain! A 1/4 cup serving only has 4 carbs. I like getting 1 cup of grass fed Greek yogurt. I spit it in half... opposite sides of the bowl. And 1 side I shake lots of cayenne pepper...then mix it in. The other side I mix in turmeric and a bunch of black pepper. The cayenne pepper helps open your blood vessels, and promote blood flow to the brain. The turmeric helps fight inflammation...pepper helps the body absorb the turmeric. Next, sprinkle chia seeds on both sides, then put about 1/4 cup of pumpkin seeds on, then sprinkle with pistachios...last but not least is the 1/4 cup of blueberries. The spices make it all taste AMAZING(!), and it is all ridiculously good for you!

I have stopped all sugar even plant sugar, grains, and fruit sugar. I started 30 days ago and now have a lot of energy. I am Insulin Resistant so I can’t wait to see decrease in weight but I am focusing breaking the addiction of sugar and food that turns into sugar.

[@KeysmanJax]

Insulin resistance sneaks up on you for years and years until one wakes up type 2. Kudos to you for quitting not only sugar but all carbs as well - stick to it and you will become fat adapted and start using your own body fat as energy. If you implement walking daily 7-10k steps, you will be golden. The body will become more and more insulin resistant, blood pressure will go down, kidneys will function better, better sleep and so on. Bravo 👏👏👏

Instead of quiting for x days try reducing certain sugary foods at a time. I did that by stopping first all kinds of bread, cakes and biscuits and later all highly processed food , and then other forms such as sodas, fruit juices, pasta, pizza, ice cream and other desserts.

[@ciaranirvine]

As an old smoker, sugar cravings are almost as bad as nicotine cravings, it's _really_ hard to quit that stuff. Like Dennis said, take it easy and gradually cut out sugar/processed stuff over time - going cold turkey probably won't work. Stop taking sugar in coffee/tea, then cut down on bread, etc - it's a marathon not a sprint

1. Improved Energy Levels: Quitting sugar stabilizes energy, leading to increased vitality and alertness. 2. Enhanced Mental Clarity: Reducing sugar intake can alleviate brain fog, improving focus and decision-making. 3. Reduced Cravings: Cutting sugar recalibrates taste buds, leading to preference for whole, nutritious foods. 4. Better Sleep Quality: Lower sugar consumption leads to more stable cortisol levels, facilitating restful sleep. 5. Less Bloating: Eliminating sugar can balance gut bacteria, reducing bloating and digestive discomfort. 6. Healthier Skin: Quitting sugar reduces inflammation, contributing to clearer skin. 7. Weight Loss Initiation: The body begins to shed water weight and recalibrates hunger hormones, aiding in weight loss.

They did a study on rats with sugar and cocaine. After introducing both substances over a few weeks, they put cocaine on one side of the cage and to reach it the rats would have to walk over an electrified walkway. Eventually, they stop crossing over the wire walkway for the cocaine. When they did the same thing with sugar, the rats did not care about the electrified walkway. It would still go after the sugar.

[@julijakeit]

11 months added sugar/sweeteners free, except occasional organic raw honey with tea during cold months. Never felt better but I do miss some sweets sometimes. Also, I can feel how sweet natural cream or even milk is and fruits! Mmmmm natural sweetness.

[@SalahRezkTV]

Thank you 🙏 Doc. You’re amazing 🫡🫡🫡❤️

[@ninjafury5374]

I haven't cut out sugar completely but I started ADF two weeks ago and have experienced most of these benefits. I'm hoping that over time I'll be able to let go of it completely.

[@carolelabrecque2799]

My God 😱 Luv ya! You’re so good. It’s a real pleasure watching your videos and learning easily from them! ❤❤❤❤❤

I used to think that metabolism and metabolic hormones are something you are born with, your destiny that you cannot choose or change. Of course, I did not come to this conclusion on my own; I was "educated" this way. For over 30 years I was mildly obese, and I was overweight for ten years before that, and I was persuaded to believe that it was my own fault. About 3 years ago, KZbin randomly suggested me one of Dr. Ekberg's videos. Then I watched more of his videos and videos of other doctors. I decided to try to reduce carbs and increase saturated fats, and also to increase the minimum interval between the last meal yesterday and the first meal today to 16-18 hours. My body mass gradually reduced to normal, my health improved. Thank you, Dr. Ekberg. P.S. My profile picture is from the times when I was obese. I keep it as a reminder to myself.

I just cut out processed food and refined sugar. I only eat real food, including brown rice, sweet potatoes, steel cut oats and organic fruit. Lost 20 pounds in 7 months.

[@scottg3110]

Carbohydrates are completely unnecessary and in many case detrimental.

[@perserverance333]

In moderate amounts, 50 to 100 grams, they are absolutely necessary for those like me who expect muscle gains in the weight room. Maybe not necessary for existence, true, but neither is animal protein. Whether something is necessary or not depends on one's goals.

[@scottg3110]

@ Carbs CAN BE helpful for somebody trying to build mass in the gym, but no, they are not necessary. They certainly will allow you to gain mass quicker, but the quality of that muscle is better obtained and sustained by high amounts of protein rich red meat while utilizing energy needs from the high fat content. Just my opinion....and no, I am not a bodybuilder of any sort.

[@CatsLilaSalem]

I am very sensitive to sugar addiciton and got recently a fall back into it. But am planning to stop sugar again after today, so nice timing to improve motivation in that sense! I am not sensitive to addiction to other subsances like alcohol, but sugar is my ultimate weak point. Also does not help i was raised as a obese child by a obese mother who also loves sugar. But i did get on good diet a few times in the past, and managed to hold on for good amount of times so i can do it again.

Sugar and metabolism are quickly becoming the main interest areas for health information. Insulin resistance and its incipient problems is one of the biggest dangers to billions of people. Even now, I'm resisting the sugar cravings by drinking peppermint tea instead.

[@aliensuperweapon]

Thank you for explaining each detail so comprehensively in a manageable length of video. ^^ Thanks to the right level of detail i could connect some dots in n my own issues despite the influence of sugar was not obvious beforehand. It appears that almost all my current problems, from RA to adhd and depression, would considerably benefit from cutting out sugar. After hearing your explanation about the transmitters, I wonder, whether my brain, being in a toxic relationship with Dopamine and always requesting happiness stuff, could maybe calm down, once the addiction and mood instabilities diminish.

[@alexskitman2413]

I stoped eat sugar and I'm 107 years old now, but I no happy without my lovely sugar ((

[@evuful2v]

I'm on my 6th day without sugar, and the sinus inflammation has gone away, and today the nasal discharge and throat discharge have also gone away. I'm incredibly happy. Thank you dr. Ekberg❤ edit: The nasal discharge was almost constantly present, and I was rinsing with salt water, sometimes twice a day, also because of the congestion. I no longer feel the need to.

[@anns8998]

I've just experienced #6, no more cravings. It's unbelievable how your system changes

[@kantinenfeedori3089]

You are the very best ❤❤❤❤

[@JohnGriffith-w2w]

Imagine actually knowing HOW to quit sugar for even one day? Everything that is available is LOADED with sugar ! As a diabetic I could walk past a bakery on the other side of the street and easily gain 15 pounds ! 😮😮😮😮

[@Campbell4Remission]

I'm on estrogen blockers and can do the same, hehe😅

[@filips.sevels2568]

Look up carnivore diet

[@JohnGriffith-w2w]

@ There’s an interesting idea 💡 !

[@Trthsker24]

No, it triggers the mental cravings, leading to self soothing behaviors like downing a dozen donuts😊

[@JohnGriffith-w2w]

@ I would go into diabetic shock so that is definitely not the case for me and neuropathy that night would brutal! No Thanks !

[@isabelaepifani3222]

Thanks doctor..👌

[@davidmccarthy6061]

Thanks! Yes, less craving of sugar now after about two weeks of Keto. We were half way there anyway with fish, meat, veggies and really just needed to stop buying junk food. As a bonus, just having the Keto meal planning puts better food choices in the house to benefit everyone. And there are a thousand keto alternative recipes so never feel limited like most other diets.
