Stopped all sugar, vege oils and alcohol 8 months ago, focused on 75% carnivore, 4 to 6 eggs a day, beef, salmon, chicken and some pickled veg. Heavy cream, butter, tallow. Lost 12kg, no more gout, no more joint pain. Better mental clarity, mood. Those "reward" foods and most "recipes" are KILLING you folks! Literally. Just eat real food!

Oh my gosh. That happened to me! For 33 years I struggled with terrible breath no matter what I did. I brushed 3 times a day, frosted every day, did not use mouthwashes with alcohol and I would still have such bad breath that people would back away from me while I talked. I got to where I stopped hanging out with people because of the struggle with my death breath. It smelt like really strong poop. I would brush my tongue very well to wear it would look healthy and pink and even when I'd just drink water 30 minutes after, it would get white stuff all on it again. I went to a dentist for help and he recommended using a neti pot. I did so and it did nothing. My dad used to always pick on me and tell me how awful my breath was. He would say it outsold infront of people. That's when I realized how bad it was. When I would go on dates, I would have to carry a toothbrush and Toothpaste in my pocket and excuse myself every 30 minutes to go brush my teeth in secret. I also used a water flosser and a dentists hook every single day. STILL had poop breath. Well, I have been sugar and flour free for 58 days now and a miracle happened. For the first time in 33 years, my tongue is not developing white stuff and I don't even really need to brush my teeth anymore. I still do it because I like to, but my mouth feels clean even when I don't brush. Sometimes I even forget I didn't brush before I left the house. And my teeth always feels so smooth. I've been on the carnivore diet and it had helped my breath tremendously.

Many processed foods, condiments, and even seemingly healthy options can be loaded with hidden sugars, contributing to various health issues. It's important to read food labels carefully and be mindful of ingredients like high fructose corn syrup, dextrose, or maltose. Educating ourselves about hidden sugars empowers us to make healthier choices. Your videos are truly enlightening and have been instrumental in improving my understanding of nutrition.

We understand your perspective that sugar itself may not be dangerous in moderation, and it's indeed true that moderation plays a crucial role in our overall health. However, Dr. Berg's videos and the studies we have followed present the hidden dangers of excessive sugar consumption in our modern diet. While natural sugars found in whole fruits are accompanied by fiber and other beneficial nutrients, it's important to note that excessive consumption of even natural sugars can also have negative health effects. Dr. Berg's emphasis on reducing overall sugar intake, including both added and natural sugars, aligns with the goal of optimizing our health and preventing various health conditions. By raising awareness about the hidden sugars in our everyday food and encouraging mindful consumption, we aim to empower individuals to make informed choices for their well-being.

It has been 2 years since I stopped consuming sugar, and the effects on my body have been incredibly positive. However, the beginning was very challenging. The first day without sugar was still okay, but by the second and third day, cravings for something sweet started to emerge. From day 4 to a week later, I experienced intense cravings, as if I really needed and wanted to eat something sweet. After getting through this withdrawal phase, everything gradually improved, and I noticed some significant changes in my body. I now feel full for a longer time, experience less fatigue from my daily job activities, and my mood has improved. Additionally, I have noticed that my skin is brighter (all the ladies will love this, lol).

Driven by meticulous research and a passion for health education, it sheds light on how excessive sugar intake damages mitochondria, leading to a cascade of health issues from diabetes to cancer. The presenter's clear and engaging style not only educates but empowers viewers to take control of their health. By advocating for a low-carb, ketogenic diet and highlighting the benefits of exercise and nutrient-rich foods, this video offers practical solutions to enhance mitochondrial function and overall well-being. It's a must-watch for anyone seeking to understand the profound connection between diet, cellular health, and disease prevention.

And those times that you did eat sugar. What did you eat? And how much sugar did it have?

[@SpamMouse]

Glad you mentioned the ancient Egyptian mummies, not only is the teeth a problem, because of the fine-sand content in ground wheat flour used for their staple bread they also suffered blood-vessel damage because of the high carbohydrate diet and not high-meat diets as was originally thought when the first studies were carried out. The blood-vessel damage also occurred in lower caste bodies that had been mummified. Keto will save you, a pyramid will not. 🤔

Thank you Dr. Berg I feel like sugar is poison to my body. Whenever I consume sugar, my body turns into terrible pain!!! Dr. Berg is 🌟AWESOME🌟

You are amazing and I'm so happy to see you talking about this. So much that's gone wrong with my body was fixed by attending to it with your wisdom.

As a former big time sugar addict, i think it isn‘t so much about lack of knowledge and awareness anymore but a lack of knowing how to get away from sugar without going crazy. Because cutting out the sugar without actually taking additional measurements to stabilize your blood sugar is going to drive you up the walls. It takes inhuman amounts of self discipline to not cave and thus the slightest hardship (like getting sick or bad news) will throw you off easily. Learning how to eat for optimal blood sugar is what finally made it a walk in the park to not feel the slightest desire to go back to sugar again. Just yesterday i was at a bday party and it was simply amazing how the whole dessert buffet did not tempt me at all. I was still comfortably satiated from lunch. I will forever be grateful i got away from that habit for good❤

What specifically would you recommend to stabilise blood sugar?

[@88Gemma]

@@ThePlaygroundEarth I’ve been following the methods and tipps as recommended by jessie inchauspé, but they are basically the same as what everyone recommends that talks about this topic. She recs things like switching to a savory breakfast - starting every meal with veggies/salad - if you are going to eat starches/sugar, eat them last after fiber/protein/fat - never eat plain starches/sugar, pair them with fiber/protein/fat - go for a walk/move after eating to flatten the curve - have vinegar (personally i just put it in the dressing for the appetizer salad, instead of drinking it like many people do) before a meal, have cinnamon with your meals, etc. I’ve only been doing this for three weeks and i already have notices huge benefits, like no more PMS, no more cravings to snack in between meal, my acne has cleared up, my insomnia has improved massively which means my energy and mood is way better. I honestly wish i would have realized the huge impact blood sugar has on everything much sooner😅
