Thank you for this conversation. As a pre med student , Harvard, I met with the department head of Nutrition at the School of Medicine, telling him that it was a conflict of interest that he was the head of the department, yet was also on the sugar board. I was promptly asked to leave his office. That eye opening meeting resulted in my life-long dedication to educating others of how to achieve vitality and health radiance through diet and lifestyle. The next year I started a health teaching museum with other talented professionals who believed that young children were the target audience for health information. I am pleased to see that I have lived long enough to see an entire generation of health professionals who are brave and audacious enough to whistle blow in response to food crimes against humanity.

Few would argue with limiting excessive amounts of refined carbohydrates to realize better health, at any age. But, some people can tolerate them better than I, and not everybody eats them to excess. There are lazy, overweight couch potatoes who eat junk food several times a week who have better blood sugar numbers than I do. It isn't fair. Diabetes is a complex, multifactorial health condition that should never be blamed solely on eating this or that.

Hi. Have you been on on a keto diet? It is the easiest diet I ever went on. It means you can give yourself treats, like strawberries dipped in very dark chocolate and whipped cream. You need never be hungry. Eventually, it will become a way of life.

[@KatJaguar1122]

The comment above mine is one way to address things. Another is to go full carnivore, eating fatty beef everyday kills all cravings , and in time carnivore changes the hunger signal, your brain gets the message to come out of survival mode. some folks have difficulty with such a big change all at once, Howe for some it is necessary to stop the addiction. Either way, you need to nourish the brain with quality animal fats and amino acids, and get a good mineral and electrolyte supplement like what keto chow has (don’t get any of their stuff with Splenda or sucralose in it). Doing these things will really help the PHYSIOLOGY of sugar addiction. It’s not just a willpower thing. If you do check out the carnivore route, you can get support and coaching from the “steak and butter gang” . You don’t have to do it forever, just do it long enough to heal and get your control back.

I kid you not you guys it’s only be about 12 days of 0 added sugar and only low glycemic foods (although I will have potatoes & sourdough (not fried) after a veggie starter) I have lost 10 pounds, feel satiated with my meals (big focus on protein and veggies), feel energized, I have been SUPER regular, my skin is already glowing, and I don’t even crave sugar! Sweet things don’t even really look like real food anymore! I will indulge in watermelon, or make a Greek yogurt bowl with berries and almond butter and coconut flakes and it all tastes so SWEET with no added sugar at all! I am NEVER going back. After years of struggling with body image, disordered eating, and my relationship with food, I finally feel free! To anybody else out there struggling with these things, I promise there is a light on the other side of the tunnel, but so long as you consume added sugar and these high glycemic index and hyperpalatable foods, the proverbial shades will block out that light and keep you in a negative feedback loop. Never forget that a sick individual is the easiest person to be commodified, so there is literally every incentive in the world in a capitalistic society to keep you sick. My heart goes out to anybody struggling with this addiction, my agnostic self truly prays for everyone afflicted, and I’m grateful to this doctor for being courageous in the face of so many institutions who would be very eager to shut him up.

[@UnovianPrincess]

how did you get through any withdraw symptoms with no surgar?

[@debbieshank1766]

Well said

[@Heyheywereallfriendshere]

@@UnovianPrincess well I did a 36 hour fast in the beginning which I think mitigated a lot of the withdrawal symptoms! Initially I also had a little bit of added sugar in like 85% dark chocolate etc. that maybe helped with the withdrawal? The cravings were really intense at first but I would just give myself an apple and some string cheese and almonds etc. until I just couldn’t eat anymore and that really helped!

[@UnovianPrincess]

@@Heyheywereallfriendshere thank you. I did keto and IF before for 2.5 weeks and I felt the best I’ve felt in years. But it didn’t last long because I went on vacation and people couldn’t stand that I didn’t want to eat absolute trash so I caved and have been on the keto wagon since. It is so hard for me to cut carbs. It’s like I get sick until I eat them every damn time I try to quit it

[@Heyheywereallfriendshere]

@@UnovianPrincess one thing I’m implementing for sustainability is a hard “not in my kitchen” policy when it comes to these types of foods. I will not buy any of these items, but occasionally I will have them with other people, and only a little! One thing that helps I’ve noticed too is not telling people 😂 people sort of, I’ve noticed, push you to consume these products to justify their own consumption, like when an alcoholic tells you they don’t want to drink alone. If it seems like you just don’t want it in that moment, it’s easier to sort of fly under the radar. Also not beating yourself up if you cave in at any point. Just start fresh the next meal/day! Nobody has to live in your body but you, the good feeling only gets better I promise you!

[@ww1andww2history]

isn't ketovore just the same thing as paleo?

[@vSwampFox]

@@ww1andww2history There is surely someone who will disagree b/c so many of these diet routines have been given names. Many or similar. In my opinion, and from what I see, Paleo allows for carb consumption b/c its central focus is not to eliminate carbs. Where as any version of keto is focused on minimal carb consumption as possible. Ketovore diet fans, want to eat majority meat, fat and fiber. No carbs outside of that. Traditional KETO allows for 10% or less of your daily intake to be carbs of any kind.
