I'm addicted to the word sugar rather to the actual object. We like words rather than what they actually are without thinking of the object without a name.

[@alessandromariani3015]

You need to specify more frequently that the abuse of sugar is unhealthy, from refined sugar. Becouse there is some guy out of here that has some low sugar problem in his brain... they think that all sugar is bad, so the fruit too . Just watching your video.. they come up with those ideas. lol

[@myfairhands]

Yes I'm an addict, but not to sugar on its own. I dont think anyone would crave a big bowl of sugar. The addiction is to a carb/fat combination. Then once in the system the sugar does its harm. Either that or put it in liquid form like smoothies or fizzy drinks

I dumped sugar 2 months ago, and the difference is drastic...no more joint pain, no more swollen feet/ankles, no more sinus headaches, no more constant fatigue--a new person! The best part is the relief from constant cravings--pie/coffee cake/ dinner rolls/ filled donuts/sweet tea, etc. I look so much better, smaller nicer clothes that fit right, and more energy and positivity..

This man is the boss. I kicked sugar a year ago. I’ll never go back. Trying to lose weight on sugar diet was near impossible. On keto I dropped weight and kept it off. I’m not a fitness exercise fanatic (I do enough walking and cycling) but it was hard work to keep weight down while addicted to sugar even walking and cycling 17 miles per day. Now my weight stays off. It was a small and initially uncomfortable transition but after my body adjusted to it, the benefits became immediately apparent.

[@justrusty]

I used to be addicted to sugar. The joke at work was that whenever someone retired, I always got a corner piece of the cake with diabetic coma frosting, including the colored frosting flower, and the leftover ring of frosting around the outside of where the cake was. Now I watch videos like this over and over in order to ensure that I don't have a relapse. Triglycerides have started to go down a little, LDL remains higher than I'd like it, but HDL is higher than it has ever been (even including those unfortunate 10 years I was taking satans to lower cholesterol - a whole 'nother story as they say), and hba1c has dropped from 5.9 to 5.1. The best time to give up sugar is 20 years ago. The second best time is now.

Caries - cavities in the teeth START from the inside not outside... see #2 mineral depletion.

Maybe osteoporosis is bcz of excessive sugar & grain, not just inadequate intake of calcium.

[@iamlight1]

True. I had a huge health scare and I had to finally change my habits. If you purchase anything packaged, look at the labels. Almost everything that comes in a box or packaged, has sugar and often as a second ingredient. People think that sugar is just scrose (table sugar) but sugars are also: fructose, lactose, and others. And fructose is even more harmful than dextrose (not so abundant). Sugar is also: maple syrup, honey, fruit sweeteners. Sugar is being linked to inflammation, cardiovascular disease, dementia, hypertension and almost all things.

I believe moderation is key. I have cut out all added sugar, sweets and junk foods, but enjoy berries, dark (85% cocoa) chocolate, occasional fruit. I don´t strive to put my body into ketosis, as I am not personally convinced that is good (many conflicting opionions from health experts), but I do try to keep my carbs on the lower side. Feeling great so far.

[@barchetta575m]

In one video, Dr. Ekberg explains how there are levels of ketosis. It's not an on or off switch. What level of ketosis you are at, depends on the number of net carbs you are consuming and when you are consuming them. Some individuals benefit from a high level of ketosis, such as those with severe diabetes. Others who have always had a relatively healthy life (those who have never smoked, drank sodas/energy drinks, rarely consume fast food), do not need to cut carbs as much. However, Dr. Ekberg does remind us in that same video, that for thousands of years our ancestors would primarily consume a diet of high fat and moderate protein. It's not until the past 1,000 years, and especially the past 100 years, that technology has allowed humans to create carb-rich foods.

Growing up in an extremely ignorant family my diet has been disastrous all the way up to my mid teens when I started informing myself a little bit. I could easily drink 2-4 glasses of Coca Cola everyday when I was an early teenager. And I used to eat all kinds of garbage fast food and processed stuff a lot. I'm currently 20 and have quitted sugar entirely and also started fasting for all its incredible benefits. But I'm still a long way to feel truly good since I've suffered from all sorts of pains and lack of energy my whole life. I truly don't know how I didn't become obese, I was always skinny fat somehow. I wouldn't be surprised if that aberration of a diet that I had pretty much almost all my life caused some permanent damage in my body. Anyway, thank you so much for everything you do Dr. You are literally saving lives with all this vast amount of precious information.

Absolutely mind blowing how terrible sugar is im a fit-nut but I've fallen off a little thank you for this video and getting me back on track I'm very lucky to have found your channel

Brilliant video - so full of info! Thanks Dr Ekberg!

After going for Keto diet and OMAD and eliminate 95% of sugary foods...my washer turn weird... seems like it enlarged my clothing months after months 😅🙃...

[@TuubiMun]

Absolutely top-class ! Radically eye-opening. Today I walked through a grocery store with this mindset...If you'd clean up all the sugar and carbs what would be left ? Not much...I love following your presentations and as your english is so good I´ve started to use your speeches as english lessons as well !

My father smoked a pack or more a day from 14 to 67, ate grapenut flakes with 2 table spoons of sugar for breakfast every morning, made pies and cakes all the time.....sugar, sugar, sugar.....he lived 79 years....died of prostate cancer......guess he might of made 100 if he would have cut out the sugar.

So does eliminating sugar help the body make collagen or how does that work?

[@zyciewameryce820]

Love this explanation! I knew that, well ... the most. I need to listen to this every single day! To remind me which way is good which is wrong, and to avoid temptations (which are everyday and everywhere!!!!) thx💞

Best videos on health issues on the net.. thanks a lot, you do a phenomenal piece of work here on KZbin !!!!

[@loveisthething]

This is a high quality channel. Thanks Doc.

[@zadockkipchumba9397]

The best way of controlling sugar consumption is through instituting a paradigm shift, a cultural change. Closing down all sugar companies and teaching kids to eat sugarless food from early stages can do a lot in saving lives

[@izzy4660]

Dr. Ekberg, I’m amused that you give us a lot of information about health issues with clear explanation which I cannot find from other KZbin videos. I wish you would public books about these topics.

[@jimbobber758]

This is currently my favourite video and Dr Ekberg rocks.. this is all so true, i fasted for 3 days, and have been low carb since and already my wife says I'm looking lean after just a few weeks.

[@kathleenreyes4345]

I just love Dr. Ekberg’s explanations because they flow logically and this all makes sense!! Thank you for this!!

[@SparkyWaxAll]

Exactly!

[@anabrightlight]

I've got the addiction bad! I'm hoping to stay strong in a house full of fellow sugar addicted individuals influencing my food choices.. I wish there was some kind of treatment for sugar addicts to teach us how to overcome the addiction. I will still try my best on my own though. I want to be as healthy as possible!

I m ur fan. I stopped having sugar but used to share1 sip of tea from my spouse. He said today goodbye to sugar af listening to U. Thank you for awesome explanation doctor 💕💕

Hi dr Ekberg I almost never eat sugar, because I don't like sweet food, and I know sugar is poisson for the body It's also bad for skin But I do eat other carbohydrates such as bread rice and wheat. I am a bit underweight, so I eat these things. My question, is eating these carbohydrates the same for the body as eating sugar?

[@drekberg]

Thank you Sabrina D. If you are underweight, the carbs per se are not a huge issue. You need to be concerned with possible/probable immune reaction, and make sure that the food is as little processed as possible.

[@sabrinad839]

@@drekberg Ok thank you😊 I almost never eat processed food I was a bit concerned about the carbohydrates I eat because I once heared that they have the same bad influence on the body as sugar

[@vanzeca]

@@sabrinad839 Sugar IS a carbohydrate (glucose+fructose), and all carbohydrates cause the problems Dr. Ekberg described. The only difference between them is the glycemic index, wich is how long it takes for your body to turn that carbohydrate into blood glucose, but all carbohydrates will raise your insulin levels and eventualy, if eaten too much and frequently, will lead to insulin resistance. I always had difficulty in gaining weight, you and me are probably very insulin sensitive, so we can eat more carbohydrates (maybe 50g-100g/day) without any long term problems. Still, if you're eating it, better choose the ones that are more nutrient dense, like brown rice and whole flour, since they have more vitamins, minerals and fiber. White rice and flour is pure carbohydrate, so, just "empty calories".

[@sabrinad839]

Sabrina D Remember that wheat is GMO. You are eating weed killer. Even Quaker Oats oatmeal has been found with this weed killer. The population is being force fed poison.

Thank you SO much for your videos. They are really eye-opening. I have been struggling for a while to change my lifestyle and eating habits, and it really helps that you explain how the body works, what foods to eat and what to avoid and specially what the consequences of eating sugar are. I have watched about 20 of your videos so far and I want to watch them all! Thank you

Agreed, I dumped sugar recently, now what do I eat? I am prediabetic. I choose to diet over drugs. So frustrating!
