It’s horrible. I am 10 years clean from alcohol and a couple of other outside issues. I just got over withdrawal from sugar and refined carbs, and believe me, I had withdrawals. Maybe because of my past opioid use, but it was close to that withdrawal. Whole body pain, insomnia, you name it. Doing much better now and I feel so much better! My brain functions are back after damn near dementia, and I have more stamina, and can feel joy for a change.😂 Plus I’m skinny again. I highly recommend quitting.

Thank you for your posting! I have insomnia, severe short term memory loss that’s scaring me and whole body pain that I couldn’t relate to any particular activity. My doctor ordered bloodwork that didn’t reveal a cause. But sugar addiction screams loud and clear. I am a sugar addict but I didn’t realize what I was experiencing was from sugar. Certainly makes sense now. This very day, April 14, 2024 is the first day of my going off sugar and with the Lord’s grace being successful!

[@donwinston]

He is telling you what you want to hear. Unfortunately that is far removed from the truth. Are you so dumb to think sugar is more responsible than other foods for so many overweight people? You don't believe cheeseburgers without the bun,, pepperoni cauliflower crust pizza, chicken wings, bacon and eggs, keto ice scream, T-bone steaks, and fried chicken won't make you fat? C'mon use your brain. Sugar consumption has declined significantly in the USA in the last twenty years. Obesity has kept going up at the same rate.

[@mark-ish]

Dr Lustig is very passionate about human anatomy and public health. What *is* surprising is his admission about caffeine - as it's a cerebral vasoconstrictor and considering how important white brain matter is, you would think he might eschew it in that regard. I imagine most things in moderation are equally helpful.

I went keto then did meditation bought nothing in a packet except for deliberately allowing myself chocolate at weekends. Cold turkey is easier if you learn how to do total fasting. I found out that bread was deal breaker. I could not just have one slice. Chocolate was different somehow. So the trigger for me is bread and must be totally avoided in my case. I fast at least eighteen hours most days and then total fast for 36 hours once o'er week. Eating fat like butter or lard and not being afraid of it has helped me escape the sugar trap.

[@shanebolerhunting]

When I quit eating sugar, I have severe insomnia, very irritable, tired, can’t function at work until I eat sugar again. I’ve tried to quit but can’t due to how bad it affects me at work. I’m an addict!! Sugar absolutely has withdrawal. I was addicted to opiates. It has very similar withdrawal symptoms. Insomnia being one that is horrible. Irritability, nausea, sweating. It absolutely produces withdrawals

[@Lisarata]

I used to regularly get myself 2 candy bars whenever I went to the store, and really enjoy them. (plus other stuff) The way I backed off of them was by sensing what I was able to put off or say no to at the moment, realizing I didn't want to sneak or shame myself or hide, but I just kind of was my friend and said no to what I could, without being punitive. I changed my habits over time. So I don't know if that story is any good for you, I'm just thinkin' about what you're sayin'.

My sister had to let go slowly. Now, she's fine without sugar. Slowly switching from things like chocolate to fruit might help as a first step. Insomnia is awful! I hope you can get over the addiction! :-)

[@blahblah6725]

Dr Lustig makes a point that fructose is the addictive substance, in contrast to glucose. I can think of lots of counter examples. I loved to eat macaroni. As I understand, that's not fructose. It breaks down to glucose. Also I ate potatoes. I don't eat them now, because I am diabetic now. I used to eat bread and butter.

So, I'm glad I have improved my overall habits, and the sweets I was eating were going to make me sick in the near future. The cookie was not so super delicious to me, either. I will watch this all the way through. Plus I had stress over political watching and a thing I said about my sister.

I’m hoping you can give me some advice because I’m running out of hope on this issue. 4 months ago I got a kidney stone, I’m 54 and never had one. They did surgery and removed the stone. I had been on a normal American diet, sugar and fast food. I went on a low carb and high fat diet. Carnivore with low carbs. Went I had my latest blood work after 4 months, my glucose went up from 92 to 108. Fasting insulin was 10. Fatty liver test went from 26 to 32. Uric acid was 7.8. How can my metabolic health get worse when I cut out 90% of the junk I was eating? I’m at a loss and I’m worried about my uric acid and sugar. I was eating everything and tons of sugar and cookies and my blood work was better. Hope you can help me

[@emh8861]

Maybe you’re eating to much protein.

[@lindajones4849]

HiJim: those numbers are puzzling. I have a few thoughts : did you gain any weight because the body can make its own sugar ( gluconeogenesis) from protein and fats especially if the calories count is too high. Are you eating large amounts of fruit? The body cannon ert excess fructose to glucose. What are you drinking? Both soda and fruit juice are literally liquid sugar and can mess with your metabolism. Sports drinks are often high in sugar. One of Dr. Lustigs videos mentioned an athlete whose performance was deteriorating, he was as prediabetic and had to quit his sports drink. Also you said you quit 90 % of the junk food you were eating . This implies you are still eating some junk food.i suggest testing suspicious items with a glucometer to see which foods are spikingyour sugar. You could also test blood sugar one hour after a meal.

About 3 weeks ago I stopped eating sugar, or most of it. I have used a spritz of maple syrup once or twice. I've only eaten whole food, real food, no meat. I stopped because I realized I was getting the jitters from sugar related hunger pangs and glucose spikes. It's working! I'm 75, and I've abused my body for a long time. It's never too late to learn or to change. in fact, change is guaranteed. With regard to withdrawal, I ate fruit instead, along with my rice, beans, greens and grains. I've tempered the fruit some now.

Surger is converted to glucose in the body, fruits, carbs are also ultimately converted to glucose, sugar is a concentrated form of glucose, moderation based on personal activity, is the key , the difficulty is requiring lots of energy while young due to higher activity, this is learned and habitual, later in life you tend to slow down like the guy started with shovel is now managing others with shovels , eats just as before but not spending the same amount of energy, result a slow insidious gain with justification, denial, I know for I am living it, even zero sugar low carb doesn't compare to the demands the brain imposes with signals to subvert your understanding

[@SWLion26]

Thanks for the information. I definitely agree with the idea that you need to be consuming mostly unprocessed/minimally processed foods while getting a sufficient amount of fiber. As far as fruit smoothies, I think you’re still getting a good amount of fiber, but not as much as if you eat the fruit whole.

[@Isaac5123]

Compete nonsense. There are no fibre in smoothies. And besides that fibre is indigestible that's why you have big poops

[@user-nf2th3bn5t]

The fiber doesn’t go away in then blender. No different than your molars grinding it up. Blender just pre-starts the digestive process. Blender isn’t juicing. Everything you put in is still there. If you’re still worried about the fiber, throw a few hemp/ chia/flax seeds in.

[@LauraB.335]

Required for what? Carbohydrate, including sugar, is the only macronutrient not needed from an external source, as the body will create the glucose it needs through a process called gluconeogenesis. There are many people who have started eating a carnivore diet in which they eat zero carbohydrate, and some have been doing it for 40-50+ years without any problem. In fact, many say that eating no carbs is healthy and can reverse many issues, including autoimmune, skin, gastrointestinal and mental health issues.

There's really no study to prove anything to anyone. Just observe someone that does the aforementioned properly and see the results and there's your study. People, even in their 80's, that do this reduce immensely or even get off all medications and drop weight to a normal level with this lifestyle.

Limit added sugar to

[@SpearChuck777]

Going cold turkey is a recipe for failure/depression considering the nag of withdraw. I accidently started juicing a year prior to limiting sugar (then wheat, corn, rice and soybean oil). Now I blend for the fiber and nutrients. Nutritional saturation is needed to build willpower to resist the call of the nag, pretending to be hunger. Sugar robs a homie of nutrition. After decades of sweet and sour pork over rice, eating bok choy, onion and garlic stir fry seems remote. It was a lot easier to limit sugar AND wheat after building up nutrition. Especially on Friday nights when reasoning tries to convince you, you deserve a pizza for being so good.

Every single time I watch videos on this topic I see a verry common question: " are there studies to support this "? Do you actually think this man can talk like this for an hour or 2 at a time and just make this up??? LOL. This guy knows EXACTLY what he's talking about due to "studies" for years. If he posted the medical studies he's been observing for years do you think people would actually read them and retain?? We live in a society where people form opinions based on a couple sentences they read on Facebook and create enemies with someone because they were too lazy to research what the truth may have been. What makes anyone think someone would read medical research where they can't pronounce the words anyway?? Just LISTEN to what he recommends and see how healthy you get. It's hard to swap to this lifestyle like this but you CAN if you try hard enough. That will be the "study" people are looking for 😊 I personally think when people ask this question, some not all, are basically saying this man is talking out of his a** and they want to read the medical data that proves this when they damn sure will not. If you are one of those people, ask the food industry to provide medical data showing that cheerios reduces cholesterol and that Nutella is a fine way to start your kids nutritional day off with a big 30 oz cup of sunny delight and then eat healthy fruit snacks out of a bag 3 times a day.

Older generation helping younger? How are we supposed to do this when long term care is $5,000 - $7,000 a month? Save your pennies boomers or move in and live with your kids.

Fruit has been genetically modified to have a more sweet taste! No fruit for me! Fructose is very bad for our bodies.

If you are sensitive to innulin you should stay away from it. Otherwise innulin is ok 🎉

I hope I'm not off point by saying this. I am not a sugar addict, but I do like the taste of an occasional cookie or bite of chocolate. Let's say I decided to eat zero sugar for 100 days. The idea that I'd experience these awful, horrible withdrawal effects is laughable. I might miss the fleeting pleasure of chewing up a chocolate chip cookie, but I'm not going to experience several days of misery!!!!

Why not to say it in 5 minutes

Its the devil !

[@nicholaspostlethwaite9554]

Nothing wrong with sugar. We run on it. Just bear in mind not over eating, anything. Getting overweight is the real main health issue.
