UPDATE Oct 2023: It's been 6 months since I gave up added sugar. I'm still clean and I feel great. Cravings are mostly gone, although there are days when I can feel the ice getting thin. I know I will always have a history with my sugar addiction and I'll never be neutral towards sugar. However, what helps me stay away is remembering the feeling of losing control, having to eat sweets although I really don't want to. Remembering how miserable this makes me feel, is my magic superpower that allowed me do the right thing every time over the past half year. How are you doing?

I enjoyed that👍🇬🇧

[@vongunten]

Thanks. Made my day.

[@Mav0585]

If I looked like that guy - I wouldn’t mind the sugar!

[@vongunten]

Looks can be deceiving... 😀

[@Drehead]

Bold to put spotlight on you publicly man. I should think a guy like you knows about sugar cause of your nutritionist job. 😂 Greetings from the south.

[@vongunten]

Knowing and doing are two separate things... :)

[@Drehead]

​​@@vongunten yeah brother, most definitely. I don't see them separate, but breaking the patterns is the work and comes through actions, most of the times. We learn through experience mostly. While knowledge delivers us reasons why to change.

[@davidnaef]

Biggest crux is the added sugar. It‘s alsmost virtually in each and everything like sauces, cereal and stuff 🙈

[@vongunten]

It's EVERYWHERE. Here in the US it can also be found in toothpaste, medication and envelope sealer...

[@davidnaef]

PS: A follow up video about sugar substitutes and their effect on the guts / body might be interesting. I‘m looking at you, coke zero 😉

[@vongunten]

Great idea.

[@Danthehag]

I ate Muslex with a banana while watching this. Instead of a bowl of sugar cercal. I actually an learning to like it. My new normal. As long as there are Rasins in it. That is sweet enough for me these days.

[@vongunten]

I do plain jogurt with berries. My new go-to pleasure food.

[@carinafischer4426]

Hey nice video, I really enjoyed it! 😊 Did you eat fruits during the challenge? And if yes, which ones would you recommend? :) Best wishes from Germany 🇩🇪

[@vongunten]

Thanks for your feedback, Carina. Ja, whenever I feel like I want something "sweet", I have a plain whole milk yogurt with berries or fruit. Fruit I like are pineapple, melon, mango and persimmon. At a later time, I will do a Keto-Challenge, and then hi-sugar fruit like the one I mentioned will be out. Stay tuned...😀

1. you keep doing it. HABIT Which is the easy part to fix. goes away in a few weeks to month depending on how long you've been doing it. This is the easy part. control yourself and stop. yes easier said then done. but, simple. #2. eating in secret you are ashamed which can be very detrimental to you self-image and therefore your personal power will be 0. quuestion are you living for others? you are if you feel guilty. not living for yourself is worst and you know this which is why you are hiding. but, not able to hide from yourself. (scary)this can go both ways. #3 extreme effort to get it is part of your denial. this is not normal but, you say it is which is a lye. The more you lye to yourself the worst you feel about yourself - personal power to 0 again. P.s. Alcohol turns into sugar. Sugar makes you depressed is right OMG talk about hell. Here is a tip. replace it with something healthy. fill the space with something good instead. I drink massive amounts of water now instead of beer. One day at a time buddy. I can't tell you how many times I started over. "there no reward" oh no no no you will never make it with that adatude. Yes there is. you are freeing yourself from sugar and all the shity feelings. And there is not supose to be a reward. your not some kid who gets a sucker for being good anymore. Sorry but this is the grow up part. And why people look down on addicts. you did loose you daily driver, this is great. now find one which is healthy for you. Or just be- which is tough. Paul is 100% right and a must in my book. It a weapons list I called it. Which was all your reason to say no. Make it as long as you can, you'll need all of them. When you have craving, break it out and read it. Your attitude will change to motivate fast. I know this game all to well. I know you can do it.

[@vongunten]

Great feedback. Thanks for sharing. 100% agree with writing down the initial reason for doing it. Creating a weapons list. Remembering will not work when you reach out for the thing. You need to have a list you can briefly read through. THX
