As a type 1 diabetic I frequently get asked if I can have pizza or coke or stuff like that. Sure I can but I try to avoid as it is hard to control my bloodsugar afterwards. But what most people forget is that this is stressful for every body. It is as hard for your body as for a diabetic to control your insulin and bloodsugar levels. Eating whole foods and exercise is helping your body a lot in doing this important job.

No one is telling you to avoid sweets all together. A cookie every now and then in addition to a well-balanced diet and exercise is fine. Some sugar incorporated in your diet won’t spike your sugar levels that much and your body has systems in place too. Everything in moderation, that’s the key.

I drink a cup of green tea every day as well as half a vitamin C tablet for my skin! Its been helping a lot. Especially the vitamin c tablet oddly enough. Would love if you could do a video on supplements and if they're fact or fiction!

[@luckychonk9527]

@@TheeWatchWoman Note: only drink half because 1 tablet of VitC has 1000mg of VitC (at least my tablet does). Your body doesn't really need that much. On average a human body needs 250mg a day to function, 1/4 of a VitC tablet. Drinking half a tabelt (500mg) ensures that im ingesting more than normal so my skin can benefit but not so much that its excessive. Anecdotally it's been working v well.

[@luckychonk9527]

@A/X The problem with that is that you are essentially wasting 3/4 of the tablet. Pouring dollars down the drain (though VitC tablets arent that expensive)

There was some bad theories (saturated fat clogs your skin) but the sugar-theory caught on. The first time I tried a low-glycemic diet (suggested on these forums) the effect was magical.

Hi i had the worst acne until I cuted sugar and my horrible cystic acne gone and the fatty cheeks I used to have disappeared within 5 days. I feel more peaceful. I'm from Belgium. Good luck everyone. This is what I was doing: -Eating full of protein (eggs, chicken, tono) with no limit. - along with vegetables ( preferably green) - a glass of full fat milk everyday or when i had sugar craving - my plate was 50% vegetables 40% proteins and 10 % fat ( cheese, oil) And I want to continue because I feel mentally better. I saw on a report that sugar is actually worst than any other drugs. I didn't know govt was hiding us that sugar were a legal drug. Good luck everyone one i strongly not recommend fake sugar such as aspartame and others they are just worst than original sugar. If you are really craving sugar eat fruits with limit like 2 maximum or a big banana but full fat milk definitely stop the craving. Good luck all.❤️

Have you considered monkfruit?

[@sable7114]

I like cinnamon and some type of fruit mixed in my oatmeal and that seems to be sweet enough for me, either raisins or blueberries or strawberries lay down. I find that the seasoning cloves makes things seeing even sweeter like when I put it in my tea.

Don’t think of it for a single meal, think of it for the entire day. One TBSP of maple syrup in your oatmeal is NOT a bad thing. If you are having that, along with candy, cake, processed sugary white breads, high sugar pastas sauces etc. a lot throughout the day then you need to cut back. A little is ok, it’s when you overdo it that’s a problem.

@@Strega_del_Corvo thank you! That's truly helpful.

[@amycortez3289]

Maybe try dates? I use 1-2 dates per bowl of oatmeal. I chop them up (I buy pitted dates, usually around the produce section) and put them in the water while it’s boiling. By the time my oatmeal is done, the dates just blend right in and sweeten it nicely.

[@Ther473n]

I used to didn’t have a sweet tooth until I landed a job at a gelato shop last year. My life / skin has been downhill ever since. I was eating gelato like every two days. Plus the stress at work has really ruined my skin. My self esteem is at rock bottom.

[@beverlynelson599]

Your hair looks great up in a bun! I like the way you give information, how it can effect our lives, that we have the choice to make healthy changes, and then in turn these changes may encourage us to make more healthy changes. Good video. Good psych method.

[@morganmackenziemarta]

What are your thoughts on Sucralose and the skin? Is it okay to add sugar free vanilla to coffee? Thank you!

[@Apeculiarone]

I’ve drastically reduced my sugar intake, it’s worth it

[@HansensUniverseT-A]

The one major difference i noticed was my energy levels, nearly completely quitting consuming processed sugars gave me an insane energy boost that would last all day, i had to completely quit coffee, the amount of contrast is strictly speaking absurd, i went from sleeping 10 to 12 hours a day when i could, to just 7 while being more awake then I've ever been since i was a kid...I used to feel incredibly fatigued no matter how much i slept, in fact it felt like i never had enough sleep, sugar turns your body to shit point and simple i used to be the guy who ate and drank whatever i wanted but i didn't even realize the difference it could make until i quit.

[@DrRygface]

How you describe that you used to feel....is how I currently feel....every. damn. day. 😩😩. I need to at least drastically decrease my sugar intake but I don't know how or where to start

[@AmbientAuteur]

"Ripple changes/Butterfly effect" --- love it! You could write a book on that!

[@TiffTheTyrant]

Oh man. 😬 the video that I looked away at in my feed lol then came back to it because I need to hear it. UGH

[@ThePomponnette]

I didn’t have this problem but when I had a baby 🍼 ! BOY O BOY I’ve become a sugar monster.
