THIS HAPPENS IF YOU STOP EATING SUGAR FOR 15 days - Dr Carlos

I took the 15 day challenge and it was amazing. I stopped eating processed foods with hidden sugars (which is everything commercial almost). I liked a scone or cookie with my coffee. Most of my snacking was processed, so I thought out substitutes (like blueberries -- sweet, but low glycemic). I ate avocadoes, walnuts, an egg, an apple or a piece of steak or salmon when I needed something! Instead of ice cream I ate frozen blueberries (low glycemic & cold!) I made stir-fry suppers with frozen veggies (for convenience), olive oil and a good protein, instead of a quick processed meal. No french fries (starchy sugars). Here were the benefits. Insomnia went away. I literally sleep through the night. I truy had more energy. Brain fog is 90% gone. I added another 2 weeks and decided I did not want to go back to sugar. I want good health and it was up to me. My skin stopped itching and just looked better. After 7 months a "sun spot:" on my face disappeared. My stomach started getting flatter (a sign of a healthier liver). Inflammation and aches went away. I can lift my legs to get into pants (balance better). Walked 2-3x/week (to my ability). I know my immune system is stronger. I feel 10 years younger and am not suffering, so this has become a life style. I feel better. At 7 months, I have lost 49 lbs. I am much healthier. Try it for 2 weeks to get past the cravings and think ahead on hunger/snack substitutes. Not that hard! I kept my coffee! I'm not going back. Wish you well and better health!

I’m 45 and have terrible memory, joint popping, and gastrointestinal bloating so I started to cut out sugar and caffeine. I can tell you that this doctor is right. 1st couple of days I was sluggish. And had to pee a lot. I couldn’t even sleep! However, I did notice no more gassy tummy. I’m now on day 7 and I can sleep. My focus at work is way better and so is my memory. I have more energy and fruits and veggies taste better! I drink tea now and eat fruit for energy. I’ve had to prepare my meals so I can actually control sugar. I still have cravings but I just tell myself I can have it tomorrow, then I forget about whatever I was craving.

I still function but with a certain amount of severe RA. Am a cancer survivor. Still live alone in my home and gardens. Doing quite well. Very small and weigh around 95 lbs. My mentality is still sharp,. I still do artwork and hobbies. Who needs sugar? I did not like sugar as a child.

I quit sugar and other simple carbs a while ago. When I walked by a bakery, I felt like a shark smelling blood. The smell of pastries caused an insane urge.

Good for you

[@Simon-pl2zi]

@joan-lisa-smith I come from a long line of sleep apnea sufferers. My father has it, my sister is on a CPAP. I eventually started getting symptoms, and it was destroying my health. The reason why a whole food diet fixed my sleep apnea is that it prevents inflammation. Most sleep apnea is primarily caused by being over weight and inflammation. Please don’t be concerned about eating sweet fruit, the fructose is bound in the fiber and ensures slow release into the intestines. Fruit juice causes inflammation, whole fruit doesn’t. Avoid all alcohol, all baked goods, all refined sugar and all other processed foods, including gluten free options. It will mean preparing your meals by hand. I also added daily walking. I can assure you, you will lose the extra pounds and your sleep will gradually improve until the sleep apnea is completely gone. Good luck!

Even tobacco has been easier to stay off. I can't say how much better I feel in just 2 weeks. It's so sad that we buy chocs for people as a present, when it is just going to damage them so much.

Sugar is like alcohol. You will always be addicted to sugar. I agree with everything you say, except that you will be able to still enjoy sugar once in a while. It’s the same as alcohol. If you eat sugar, it won’t take very long to quickly begin to eat more and more and more of it you’ll be back in the same boat that you were. We don’t need sugar and if a person is addicted, they will always want sugar. It is a matter of what do you want more. Do you want to live with all the inflammation with the weight with mood swings, etc. Or do you want to feel better be more healthy be happier because you’re not giving into an addiction. It is very worth it to stop eating sugar in so many ways.

[@sable7114]

I worry about the sugar because of what it does to your skin but never knew about it possibly causing cardiovascular problems. I tell everyone I'm addicted but I will not make a trip to the store at weird hours of the morning if there's nothing sweet in the house which is often. I think that when I have something sweet, I have a tendency to eat it all right on that day like the four slices of cake someone gave me to take home that was gone by the end of the day and then I have nothing more until the next time I encounter something sweet or have to go to my Pharmacy which is oddly placed right next to the bakery at the grocery store which gets me into trouble. So maybe I am not addicted as I believed but maybe I'm a binge eater and then I'm done for a while. That would be one reason why someone might not have withdrawal symptoms I would think unless there is so much hidden sugar and all of the other foods I eat that I'm really not off of it at all.

[@sable7114]

Pamela I posted 2 weeks ago and unless it's hidden sugar and I'm checking things and it only has a little sugar, if I eliminate everything that has hidden sugar I won't have anything to eat except fruits and vegetables . Anyway I haven't had any withdrawal symptoms either and I didn't feel the urge to buy a slice of cake that was on sale at the grocery store a couple of days ago. They had candy all over the kitchen table at work like someone had just hit a pinata, I don't know what kind of Decor that was, but I didn't touch not one piece.

The ideal meal is half a plate of vegetables, quarter protein with a little fat & quarter low carb. With intermitten fasting, the body will burn fat for energy, and the weight will come off. You start with 3 meals a day, then 2, then 1. That may take 3 to 4 weeks. I didn't hurry, so my body adjusted to it and didn't have many cravings. Now I eat once a day within 3 hours, then fast. Eating healthy fats with the meal keeps you satisfied, and you can go without food for longer. However, during fasting, you can snack on vegetables, avocado, some nuts, and berries. It's also good to have a blood test to see the condition of your body, liver, kidneys, etc, for necessary vitamins and minerals, and more importantly, daily electrolytes. I start the day with lemon water, and sometimes water with a little apple cider vinegar. I tried for years to lose weight, and was eating less & less, but nothing worked 🙃. Insulin sensitivity and intermittent fasting did it for me. If you add exercise, it can be done in less time. Give it a try, slowly if you need to. Planning is another good tip. Good luck 👍

I was a sugar addict. I tried to tape her off by using Stevia during four months on keto. It wasn’t until I went carnivore that I lost all urges for sugar. That was 18 months ago. I agree with everything. This doctor said except that I believe my skin got better because I consciously gave up all seed oils.

[@LauraB.335]

I love what you say here about not quitting it forever. I have definitely had my ups and downs with sugar. Recently, I went 18 days without sugar, then on the 19th day, I gave myself permission to eat sugar. Not only did I find I didn’t want to buy as much in the first place, but I ended up throwing stuff away, because I didn’t want to eat it all. I also realized it really wasn’t enjoyable. I made a story up in my mind that it would be so much fun, but it really wasn’t. Then, I ended up with phlegm that I haven’t had in days, a headache that I haven’t had in weeks, and acid reflux. I have started again, and plan to go at least two months without it, at which point I’ll be at Disney World, so we’ll see what happens. Most people I listen to think of sugar as the devil and that it isn’t good to eat it ever, but I’m starting to realize I don’t really feel that way and don’t want to feel that way. I definitely want to go back to eating the way I did when I was younger. I’d eat a piece of cake while out to eat, and never felt as though I couldn’t stop or that I wanted to eat sweets day after day.

I call myself a “reformed sugar addict.” I gave up all my sugary junk food and desserts in December 2021. I felt really grumpy the first 7-10 days as I was detoxing off sugar, but then it passed. I do not drink alcohol, no coffee, not even tea. I actually enjoy drinking water. I do enjoy fresh fruit as a treat. I also love dried fruit like dates, but have to be careful with those because they are so high in sugar. I am mostly gluten-free too. Happy to say I don’t miss my old sugary binge foods. I know I can’t eat just one bite or just one piece. The addiction will kick in again and it’s not worth playing that game. Thank you for talking about how important it is to get off sugar. Truth!

[@Shuukuriimudaisuki-sama]

I actually decided to quit all refined/added sugars since February of this year, so 9 months ago as of this comment, and I can personally attest that everything on here is true. One day I was just thinking about something fairly simple I could change in my diet for the better and thought, why not try to give up sugar for a while as a start? But as all the positive changes started manifesting and I shockingly had no cravings or negative side-effects, I decided to swear it off for good. The only sugars I get are the natural ones in fruits and vegetables, and I've felt fantastic ever since making the choice. It's a bit difficult to manage at first, because SO MANY things have added sugars, even stuff you wouldn't normally think of, but avoiding these things becomes second nature after a while. I would really recommend trying to kick sugar for a while at least and see the difference for yourself.

[@Myork2014]

How did you do it? It’s very hard to give up sugar😢

[@Shuukuriimudaisuki-sama]

@@Myork2014 It actually wasn't hard for me, by some miracle. I know a lot of people have withdrawals or cravings, but I never really did. I basically managed through sheer stubbornness and willpower lol. I told myself I would stop, and I did. But I don't expect that's going to work for everyone, of course, or no one would have to face the problem. It's worth trying at least. You might be surprised by what can you can accomplish!

[@cindyfoley1675]

This is so true, almost 3 weeks and Im so happy , lost 4lbs already!!!

[@Red-gv9mu]

I have tried to do the keto diet several times, and could not because I felt too whacked out going off all carbs at once. However, I still want to drop some weight. So, I decided to quit sugar in all of its forms. I was eating something with sugar in it all day long; muffins, granola bars, chocolate candy, and even ice cream. I have to say that quitting sugar was very easy, and I did not feel any "addiction" or "withdrawal" in the days following my quitting of sugar. Now, I did feel a little low energy the afternoon of the second and third day. I guess my body was used to getting its energy more quickly when I was eating sugar. But still it was no real problem. So, if you are afraid to quit sugar, don't be. I think this "sugar addiction" talk is just hype. Your body will adjust. Just realize that you have to eat enough other foods to satisfy your hunger. Now that I am off sugar completely, I will start gradually eating lower on the glycemic index scale. I am making small changes one at a time to make my life more healthy.

[@wonderfulworld7414]

I quit eating sugar for 8 months, now I'm not having sugar cravings anymore, I got my energy back, not feeling exhausted anymore and my skin looks so shiny.

I also feel how crazy sweet all the things are, and how bad some taste in reality, cause my taste became more sensitive.

Sir, everything you have said I can fully relate to. Your points are so spot on! I gave up coke 1.5 yrs now and have experienced the benefits. My next challenge is to completely give up artificial sweetened beverages like Pepsi Max. It took me 28 days to be completely free of real coke and I'm expecting Pepsi Max will be easier. Bad Habits are hard to beat. Can I say this, the taste bud also changes its perception to saltiness. I usually like chicken salt with chips, but after being free of Pepsi Max for 4 days, I am not liking the saltiness anymore. Just my observation. Thanks for an amazing presentation. Note: I do enjoy fruit more now but I don't go overboard...10 grapes, or 10 cheeries. No tiredness after or joint pain.

I've avoided sugar for around a year now. The results have been nothing short of incredible: From 377 lb to 263 lb. Its insane. I feel better of course - my knees no longer ache from hauling too much weight around, I no longer get winded going up the stairs, I don't wake up in the morning with a splitting headache...and the most important thing: the 'fog' I would find myself in mid afternoons just no longer happens. It also makes me less hungry, and I usually skip breakfast now - seems unthinkable, but its now normal for me. On the weekends, I'll also skip lunch if I'm too busy to eat - again hard to believe. I don't consider it a 'diet'. Its more an attitude to make better decisions. If you walk into a gas station, you are surrounded by sugar - you just have to decide "not today". And the reason its not a diet: if somebody offers me a piece of birthday cake, for example, I'll ask for a small piece and eat it...and I haven't 'broken a diet'. Its just a rare treat.
