I did the 30 day challenge. No breads, no white sugar, no rice. I lowered my carbs to less than 30g daily. And I did intermittent fasting with some OMAD. I lost 18 pounds so far, my skin is clearer and I'm not as itchy(as funny as that sounds). After 3 days, I had NO appetite. I have so much less pain, stiffness and I don't get so sleepy after a meal. I have been walking about 3 miles a week as well. I drive a truck so there are real challenges at the truck stop coffee station. Never a lack of donuts, cakes or sweets. But I did it and I feel great. If I can do it, I know you can too.

I will share my experience that is similar. I had to be on a special medical diet related to iodine. This test required that my blood urine iodine level be very low. To facilitate this I was required to abstain from ANY processed foods because the salt used could not be verified as non-iodine. It was supposed to last one week but due to a mix up, I had not been using the correct non-iodized salt on my food it went on for a month+. I had always thought I was eating a fairly good diet but one week in I was craving foods I was accustomed to. So much so I could say the food most of us eat today is a drug. Truly if not for the incentive I would have gone back to the way I was eating. But shortly thereafter that craving faded away. I had begun losing weight and until it was all said and done I had lost 30 pounds and dropped a pants size. I was not thinking about food and became satisfied eating two meals a day because I was not hungry. I felt better and honestly realized what I stated earlier to compare our food as a drug. I learned that I just did not want to eat like I had because I felt sluggish afterward. I was very disappointed yet actually came to know what feeling good really felt like. Yes, I have slipped a bit but at least I have a reference to base what it takes to truly be good to my body. I will add that I was amazed at how much salt is in the foods we eat. I was urged to buy meats from a butcher shop because fresh meats that are prepackaged contain salt. I learned a lot from having to read labels.

I quit sugar, alcohol and carbs a year ago. At first I added in a ton of veggies but developed some bad sensitivities (oxalates, salicylates, histamine) leading to diarrhea, nausea, eczema…. Now, I’m mainly eating protein and fat. I’m at my ideal weight, working out, no cravings, rarely hungry, mentally clear and happy. This is so easy, spent 60 years learning how to feel good and now wish someone had told me to watch your KZbin channel back in the 1970s. Young people are lucky to have access to you!!

Same thing happened to me. I now realize that Keto is a lifestyle and not just a temporary duty to loose weight. I hate sugary foods now and been near carnivore for almost 60 days I feel great and my recent blood work was way better than before. No cholesterol issues, my testosterone went up and I have energy as I did in my early 30s. ( Doubt I'll ever have the energy I had in my early 20s, that would be amazing) But the best thing is I am looking forward to aging healthy instead of a decrepit old man

The reality is that falling off the wagon is not unusual, and in fact its a good idea to give yourself permission to have a 'break' every once in a while, like 2 weeks, monthly, etc. When I do mine, I go for quality over quantity, as in my favorite Burrito Gordo carne asada with rice and beans vs candy and snacks. The next day, usually Sunday I just don't eat anything or just meat and vegetables to compensate a little and within 2 days I'm back in ketosis. And thats coming from a borderline T2 diabetic, and even with those breaks my quarterly A1C is always coming back at just below T2 at per-diabetic level. Instead of living with the stress of doing without, refocus it as x days until my next reward.

My worst time was diagnosed T2B when I weighed 95 kg, with an A1C of 9% . I knew I had to make a change, so I made two life-altering decisions. First, I quit my office job and left the confines of the office chair. I took up a role in the warehouse-what I like to call my employer-paid gym membership. Now, I get a solid 7 hours of exercise every day, and I get paid for it. The second decision was even tougher-I cut out sugar and drastically reduced carbs. On the weekend, I go hiking & kayaking. This also give me an opportunity to benefit from sunlight. The results have been incredible. My weight has dropped to 70 kg, and my A1C is now a steady 5.6%. Best of all, I no longer need insulin. This journey taught me that we all have the power to change our lives. But the key is to start today.

I've been on Keto for 7 months now and today I reached a 50 pound weight loss, yay me! We had two get togethers this weekend and I fell off the wagon big time. The cravings came back with a vengeance; it took a couple days to reset. Not having any "bad" food in the house is key for me. Understanding what happens when we eat sugars was what got me going in this direction. Your videos along with Dr Westman's imparted on me the dangers of sugar. I don't want diabetes. I have friends with diabetes. While on medication they all still drink soda and eat candy. I want them to watch your videos.

We got back into cycling and now we live where we can bicycle year round. Our daughter lost over 100 lbs and is keeping it off and has finally seen what health “looks like” and “feels like” . She bicycles and is now in our gym lots. IT’s beautiful to see. She has turned completely away from ANY sugars, carbs and starches and is excelling now. Now we have graduated I think to Carnivore OMAD, and it’s even better, and no more beer, as I can actually stay in KETOSIS. IT’s fantastic for us all.

Whats funny when trying to explain Keto to people is how they give you the sideways stink-eye when you tell them you really don't get 'hungry' like you used to. At least for me, when I'm in Ketosis, if I have a big breakfast 3-4 eggs, 6-7oz bacon/sausage, 1 slice of rye bread for my 18g carbs and 6 PM rolls around and I'm not hungry though I sort of feel just the faintest inkling that maybe I could/should eat something. A number of times I'll just eat some cream cheese or similar and it can be days before I realize I'm having a hard time forcing myself to eat even the 1700-1800 calories at deficit. All sorts of back/musco-skeletal pain is 90-95% gone, not sure if its the 30-40# or a big drop in diet related inflammation.

My A1C result registered at 6.6 and was diagnosed as diabetic last July 3rd, 2024. My doctor gave me 6 months to lose weight before giving me medication. I was 202lbs, BMI was at 32.6 (obese). So the next day, I started quitting added sugar and minimal carbs. I was able to skip breakfast altogether because luckily, I'm used to it anyways. Lunch was the biggest meal for me, with a big bowl of blanched or sauteed veggies, humus or baba ganoush dip, sprinkled with chia and flax seeds, and a small serving of meat or fish. I also followed Glucose Revolution's suggestion to eat fiber first, then protein, then carbs last (minimal to none for me). When I felt hungry, I ate a handful of blueberries, sometines with greek yogurt, or nuts (cashews or almonds) and water. I also found a flourless cookie recipe which is peanut butter, eggs, baking soda and stevia, (88% dark chocolate optional). Same thing for dinner but less meat if I can manage. I also ate baked tofu with spices as a substitute. Also did some exercise like walking atleast 5,000 steps 3- 5 times a week. In only a few weeks time I was able to cut out added carbs completely. I also realized I'm getting less and less hungry, so I refined my diet even more by eating more veggies and fruits with low GI and less meat (substituted with tofu). Two months to this day I've lost 22lbs, my BMI at 29.0 (from obese to overweight), BP hasn't spiked since and overall, I feel great, and will keep on going!

Yes, stopped them! 4 months into keto I'm off all bp meds, no more arthritis inflammation, energy for days, and my blood work is great! You think it's going to be more expensive to eat keto, but once you cut out all the snack foods and constant eating because the empty carbs and it's cheaper.

Had a sweet tooth all my life, now in my 60’s. Last year, after hearing that sugar feeds cancer, I stopped eating sugary things and drastically lowered my carb intake. This also included beer, hard for some people to hear I’m sure. Twelve months later I can confirm that everything in this video is true for me. I feel like I’ve wound back the clock 25 years, I now actually want to exercise more, and have reached the optimal weight for my height. As long as I’m not hit by a bus, or similar, I feel like I could live forever. Not actually possible, of course, but I’m happy to take 100.

In 2024, my non-fasting blood glucose was 103 and my hA1C was 5.3. I believe I on the right track now. On a side note, my IBS chronic diarrhea of many years went away after three months on a low carbohydrate diet.

I quit sugar and all the other bad things in this video over two months ago. As discussed, I have had nearly all the benefits here. No joint pains at all, weight loss, better skin, no cravings, solid and comfortable gums and teeth. The best part though, is that I was told I had the beginnings of macular degeneration and blindness because there were drusen appearing on one retina. Six weeks after dropping all this bad food, including seed oils, I went for another exam and the ophthalmologist said the drusen were gone and both retinas were normal. Amazing!

I stopped metformin, stopped insulin, stopped even Ozempic pills ( Rybelsus). I lost 9 Lb and my pants went down a size from 36 to 32. this is only 3 weeks.... but I also do Intermittent fasting. I had some days of craving, but its over. I start with a coffee in the morning, (cut down to 1 Splenda from 2) no soda, I only drink water. I have my 1st meal around 10:30 in the morning , sometimes 12:30 , depends. and then I have as a snack some nuts, pistachios, then I have an early dinner and thats it. IT WORKS and I dont think of food anymore..... no carbs, no sugar. I want to reverse my diabetis.

I was diagnosed with PCOS in January 2024. I watched many of your videos and they helped me stay focused and stick to a low carb diet. I also walk a lot. While my diet isn’t perfect, I have cheat days, I cut back on carbs and sugar considerably. Stevia and erythritol are my best friends. Whole foods became my staple foods. I learned a lot from your videos so I’d like to thank you for your hard work. Since January I’ve lost 16 kg which is mind blowing. It’s likely that I reversed my insulin resistance, too (but I have to be tested on that). My weight loss has been slow and consistent (losing 1-2 kg a month maximum) but now my BMI is normal. I was nearly obese.

You can do anything for thirty days. 😊 At first your brain tries to convince you that you're missing out on something but that's the sugar gremlin whispering in your ear. If you can increase protein healthy fats and veggies that keep you fuller longer and it can help with cravings. I can tell when I've been consuming too much sugar and sugar substitutes. It's summer time and I love peaches and strawberries but I was eating too many and it has been causing cravings, mood swings and aching in the joints of my fingers. Your body doesn't look at the sugars found in fruit differently than refined sugar even sugar substitutes can stimulate insulin response (maybe not for everyone but for me they do). A year ago I began with cutting back and cutting out sugary drinks and sweets really junk food in general. After a while I was able to even taste the sweetness in red wine vinegar. The benefit for me drastically reducing sugar as well as bread,pasta and rice. In about 6-8 months went from a size 20 to a size 14 and at the one year mark, the weight so far is staying off. A reframe might be to think of introducing sugar to your diet like sprinkling poison on your food. What ever works for you you can do it. 👍

When we talk about 'quitting sugar', what does that actually entail? Since lots of things we eat contain sugar - not to state the obvious ones, but even tomato sauce (ketchup) has sugar in it. Fruit does. Even the soy milk I have in my coffee contains 1.6g/100ml. So when the challenge is to quit sugar for 30 days, does it mean to strictly remove all those things from my diet? Even my oats with fruit, chia, nuts I have for breakfast? Or in other words, what would a strictly sugar free diet look like? Essentially no carbs at all?

Good day good souls! I recently finished reading Robin Sharma's newest book "the wealth money can't buy" And in one of the chapters he issued a 30day sugar free challenge. My 30days sugar free ended on August 22nd and I've decided to just keep on with the fast. Along with intermittent fasting and two workouts a day, sometimes adding a hike on top of that I have lost 23lbs. Delicious snacks abound in the apartment, do to my roomate, but I have lost all the cravings for them. When I first began I did have to pick up the bag of chips or lemon biscottis, from time to time, read the ingredients say my little mantra "I deserve better". Another auto suggestion that helped me is "I've had it before". I look forward to seeing what I can achieve in a year with this level of discipline. God bless.

At start of pandemic, February 2020, I stumbled across this channel and started transitioning my diet. Over about 2-3 months, I went from 3-4 meals a day plus 3-6 snacks, changed nothing, just ate all the snacks until they were gone, then didn't replace them. Next, ate one meal less every 2-3 days, for about 2 weeks. So after about 6-8 weeks, I was down to one meal a day. I didn't really change what I ate or how much in total, except I cut out all sugar, honey, jelly, processed snacks, and added extra butter, olive oil, coconut oil, and reduced pasta and rice a bit. Ate more eggs. 3 important changes occured by 6 months. I had lost about 30% of my body weight, from 210 to 150-ish (I have a disability with low muscle mass thus lower weight), my weight in my youth had been 120-130, thus my “ideal”. The second thing was that my “high” cholesterol, for which I had been prescribed a statin but only taken for a week or two, came down all by itself. The third thing, for the past 4 years, I have not once been sick, except sneeze here or there, one or two mild fevers, one or two sore throats. No ailment lasting more than about 6 hours or so, or less, and so minor as not to be noticeable. I still eat rice or pasta daily, as I feel violently unwell without some. I could optimize further, but being poor and on fixed income and food benefits, I can't afford full keto, so I must rely on cheap rice or pasta or potatos as fillers to keep me feeling satiated but also from feeling unwell. It makes it impossible to lose the final 20-30 pounds. But I can still have cake and ice cream once a month or so, maintain weight, accept a few days of cravings and sore neck lymph nodes as a result of the sugar hit. Not the best but way better than I was doing. Less mood eating as well, so much less. I eat when hungry, I eat to restore energy and maintain body.

I'm similar in that I 'need' a slice of toast (Rye) with breakfast. So thats my 18g of carbs for the day. That cheap rice, pasta and potatoes are probably whats keeping you plateud(sp). Swap those out with low starch vegetables, which should be lower carb and cost same or less. Are you sure your in ketosis, and not just on a low carb diet? Daily rice/pasta/potatoes, unless we're talking spoonfuls, are 16-20 carbs for about 2 teaspoonsful.

I told him this was going to be an experimental and educational year for me, for my health and lifestyle. As soon as he saw the results I was getting, he jumped on board. After quite some time, I did learn to make chocolate donuts from an avocado and cake from a zucchini using Stevia ( be careful of the ingredients, NO maltodextrin) because I felt like I was ready to try a snack just to see if my cravings would return. They didn't and it's enjoyable to be able to have a treat once a month or so. I'm glad you're getting healthier! And I hope your husband would be willing to try some no carb treats. I did find some pure stevia "syrups" that we add to bubble water, also as an occasional treat. It can be a bit expensive so that also keeps us mindful that it is not meant to enjoyed on a daily basis. Just please research all artificial sweeteners before you buy or consume them. Many will shoot your insulin through the roof. Of course, Dr Ekberg has very informative videos on those as well. I watched them and then started my research on the internet. I've learned to read nutrition labels and then ingredients...and now my husband does too. I wish you all the best and I hope your husband joins you in your new healthier lifestyle☺

I stopped eating sugar and refined carbs 28 days ago and have had the following results, i wasnt diabetic or pre-diabetic but did have an enlarged liver and am obese. I'm 57 years old, menopausal not on hrt. Skin definitely improved, less dry and itchy, hair thicker and fresh growth! and nails are stronger, eyesight improved to where i can read larger writing on bottles in shower without glasses, no IBS, no bloating, onsiderable liver shrinkage, no indigestion, solid sleep and less tired in the day, more energy, clearer head more focus at work and no brain fog, waking up with fresher breath, coping better with stress and no anxiety, feeling happier and lost 9 inches around the waist and 26lbs. I found i was peeing a lot overnight for 7 days rather than 1 but imagine that was due to obesity and shedding a lot of fluid weight. I dropped 10lbs in week 1.

I went on a restrictive diet of only lean proteins and low-carb veggies for 6 weeks. So far, I have lost 25 pounds, my hidradenitis suppurativa has drastically improved (severe acne), and my fasting insulin has gone from 18 to 9. I'm working with a local weight loss clinic for this, but these videos helped inform my decision to go with this plan, and I'm thrilled that I've cut my fasting insulin in half already!

I did this almost three years ago , long before seeing this video just today. I had standard blood work done for an annual check up. I shared the results with an old friend, a pharmacist, who laid it on the line and told me if I wanted to see my grandkids grow up I'd better 1. cut sugar out 2. cut carbs to LOW LOW LOW 3. eat more butter and avocados. I did that, starting the next day. The result? in three months my blood work was NORMAL. My body aches, pains and stiffness were gone. I was sleeping better than I had in many years. My asthma disappeared. My gout disappeared. Now , if I''m away from home for a week and "forced" to eat breads, etc I can feel it in my joints..... Not fun. Thirty days is doable, treat yourself to a better life and leave sugar/wheat behind.

All watermelon has been genetically modified to be sweeter and less pips. The fructose (sugar) in watermelon is high and raises insulin just like sugar... Prof Ben Bikman is a good resource to explain all this.

If you’re eating a big piece of nice cold watermelon, you still don’t understand the exercise of this video. A watermelon is water and sugar, and the fructose in the sugar has to be pulled out via the liver, you’re making your liver fat like an alcoholic cirrhosis with the liver. No Sugar

I'm 56 years old and weighed almost 190 lbs at 5'9" tall. I quit sugar/carbs for the past 6 weeks and started working out with weights daily as well as cardio (mountain biking every other day). I'm now 167 lbs and have abs again. Anyone can do this!...you just have to want to be healthy. I still eat low carb greek yogurt, and occasional jasmine rice. I also eat organic fruits like blueberries, raspberrries and kiwi with breakfast. I haven't felt this energetic, pain free and mentally clear since I was in my 20s. No bread, no granular sugar, no packaged foods.

I’m 48, Carnivore diet for last 6 months…2nd day into no sugar/carbs I cried. I lay back in my bed and realized I had a feeling that I had not known in my body since I was a little kid! I did not know how badly I was feeling until I suddenly felt good. You will not know how badly you have become until you stop sugar. I actually felt whole in my body again…that constant buzzing, electric feeling was gone. That inflammation feeling has not come back. I have lost 40 lbs, endless energy, leap out of bed in the morning, no 2 pm urge to nap, and Everyone that has not seen me for a while make loud noises expressing how impressed they are. They recoil in horror, though when I tell them that it is zero sugar. They almost always respond with, “oh, my chocolate, oh my wine, oh my pastries, etc. I could never give that up!!” Then a change in subject or more excuses using words and phrases like “moderation” and “you don’t want to throw the baby out with the bath water”. I think one main problem is that sugar=magic, Christmas, birthdays, grandma’s cookies, parties, dessert, night out with the girls, etc. Well played, Big Sugar, well played. Crack/ meth would love such loving associations. As a home care nurse, I wish I could instead show my pictures of all the leg ulcers, colostomies, and neuropathic injuries that are made worse with every stubbed toe on their wheel chairs… and associate sugar with this!

You’re right the association with sugar is magical. People think a birthday or celebration without cake or sweets is sacrilege. Good on you for quitting. We need to promote the downsides of sugar more. I’m a week late reading this, but I’m still going to do the challenge. Currently the only sugar I’m having is fruit! It’s been the last of my sugars to go, but I must do it, because even some fruit is too much for me. Going carnivore now!
