0:00 Introduction: What would happen if you gave up sugar?
0:10 #1 Your face and midsection will change
0:52 #2 Improves eyes, brain, arteries, and kidneys
4:19 #3 Decreases urination at night
5:00 #4 More energy
6:35 #5 Cravings between meals go away
8:57 #6 Less stiffness, pain, and inflammation
9:57 #7 You'll lose weight
11:32 #8 Better skin
11:50 #9 Improves insulin resistance
Let's talk about what would happen if you gave up sugar for just two weeks.
1. Changes in your face and midsection
Your face would become slimmer, and you would lose weight in your midsection because your liver is releasing fat.
2. Improvements in your eyes, brain, arteries, and kidneys
You'll experience a lot of benefits and potential improvements in these four areas of the body when you cut out sugar.
3. Decreased urination at night
You'll get up less at night to urinate because water follows sugar. Consuming sugar triggers urination, especially at night.
4. More energy
Your body is forced to run on fat fuel instead of sugar fuel. Your body has more calories from stored fat to use as fuel, giving you more energy.
5. Cravings between meals go away
Your cravings and appetite will go away between meals because even though you're not eating, your body is satisfied by your own fat.
6. Less stiffness, pain, and inflammation
These issues can start to improve when you stop consuming sugar, and you may notice less of a need for certain medications.
7. Weight loss
You're going to lose water weight as well as actual fat. Many different health benefits also come with losing weight.
8. Better skin
You may notice improvements in your skin because of a drop in inflammation.
9. Improves insulin resistance
Insulin resistance is at the heart of many health conditions. But, when you give up sugar, you can start to improve insulin resistance.

đđââđđâ Grrrrreat Video...! âDr Berg tells the Truth...đâđ§I've been on a Water only Fast for 2 wks today and my Face and Belly have shrunk just like Dr Burg said in this video!đ I am taking Vitamins/Minerals and 90 grams of Coconut oil per day so my D3 vitamin will absorb properly. Also drinking 2 liters of water per day and add to it the electrolytes Pink Himalayan Sea Salt and Potassium(Using "No Salt" brand from grocery store)....
yeea you bet I did alot reading on how it does the body and restricts bood flow I remember my pants used get tighter after drinking one of those drinks with high sugar I think it was the blood vessals constricting and pressing the blood outward from inside ,I got into a conversation with a fellow at GNC and he knows some nutrition when I didnt know at the time and he said it probly was blood being forced from the intestings to where forces fluid outward its because of the high sugar causing it people really need know that its dangerous and it cant be good for organs like the heart and such.
Can you make a book/list of things to eat that do not contain sugar or that are not as loaded with a ton of sugar because everything has sugar in it nowadays?

Iâve been sugar free since I woke up this morning. No sugar in my coffee, then I saw those freshly baked cookies on the stove, calling my name. I looked away, but they pulled me back. No, I thought, yes they said. Iâll try again tomorrow. Stay tuned.
Update? Battle of the cookies? Whoâs winning?
how it going big dawg?
Story of my lifeđ
Just don't put sugar in your cookies, simple as that. There are many natural sweeteners that will not affect your body like sugar will.

Iâm 48 and have been into body building for 30 years. I studied nutrition extensively. I had never been overweight, but ate tremendous amounts of sugar, thinking it was burning it off. I was wrong. This video probably saved my life because I was going pre-diabetic with elevated triglycerides, massive fatigue, shooting, throbbing pain, vision loss and debilitating lethargy. After two months cutting all additional sugar Iâm feeling like Iâm 25 again hitting the gym 5 days a week with endless energy. God bless you and screw the corrupt pill pushersâŚ
I'm beginner gym rat, if I want to go sugar free do I need to cut whey protein?
@@XenoXviWhey protein is fine as long as you keep your overall carbs/added sugar as low as possible
@@BaltazarRules8đâş THANK-YOU VERY MUCH too...đđđ
What a great video and post. I am 46 and always been into weightlifting/body building. I am becoming more educated on nutrition (I eat fairly clean) but want to dive in further and this Doctor's videos are so helpful and I can totally relate to your post!!!
The reward centers in the brain, 5-7 of them, light up with sugar, refined carbs, and ultra processed foods. beware
I watched this video 9 months ago and decided to give it a try. I went from 190lbs. back in march, to 155lbs today. And i ONLY gave up sugar! Never again
So nothing with added sugar? Iâm struggling with nightly dessertâŚ
@missyrachy I've developed a new appreciation for fresh fruit. It sounds silly, but after a week of no sugar, a tangerine will taste like candy.
@@massivepassiveIâve cut out almost all carbs but after dinner Iâve been having dark chocolate. I know I have insulin resistance and high blood pressure. I need to take the step to rid sugar.
@missyrachy it's a huge step, but definitely worth it. I'm not exactly the pinnacle of self discipline, and have failed many diets in the past. I view this more as a lifestyle change and that seems to have helped.
Have you been able to keep off the weight?
There's something strange happened to me when i cut sugar six months ago , I've been suffering from depression since i was 18 believe it or not nothing helped not a therapy not anything but strange enough to say since i cut sugar out of my life I've been feeling better and better every day ... Started feeling like a whole brand new person
Wow
I may have to seriously try this.
I too believe sugar can mess with your mental health!
Sugar & Carbs & Not getting enough Vitamin D â¤
Thank you so much for sharing your experience. Sugar + ultra processed foods most DEFINITELY affect metal health, as depression is an inflammation in the brain. Sugar drives inflammation throughout the body. Itâs definitely connected. Hoping this information will help so many more people. PSAđŁď¸ traditional medicine doctors are NOT going to tell you this.. remember theyâre in bed with big pharma..
I am on day 4 of no sugar, bad carbs and alcohol. I feel like total crap. But I am going to keep going.
Hi howâs it going? Iâve heard the 1st week is the worst. Be strong â¤
Stick with it. Youâll never regret it. You just have to go through the misery but itâs SO worth it.
I suggest you look up Allen Carr Bad Sugar, Good Sugar. Total craving killer
There are no "bad carbs." Cutting out sugar is not necessary at all.
You'll feel better.
Everytime I watch a video of yours, I feel like I'm attending a school that I wish I had attended a long time ago. Dr. Berg University offers the best health education you can get, better than any state college. Thank you.
And this university is also free. Thank you.

@Eternal Atake not sure what you mean
When I was diagnosed with cancer, I stopped sugar I lost 30 pounds and all my levels in my body dropped to normal! When I stopped the sugar, this was the reason thereâs been no chemo or radiation! I went back to EATING from the ground and not eating from the animal! â¤
Thatâs very smart, I wish you luck, and a healthy recovery.
Cancer feeds on sugar you essentially starved out your cancer cells
I did the chemo and radiation and now Iâm Trying to rebuild my body kidney problems uti infection. leaky heart valves. Iâm hoping this diet will help me rebuild my heart health in general.
If you can make it three days without sugar you can do anything. Itâs amazing how the cravings get less and less. Donât beat yourself up if you cheat. Just keep going and donât give up! Itâs so worth it. Thank you Dr. Berg for keeping us all motivated!!!!
I started Monday. Today, Wednesday, I walked into a store to buy some more protein foods and decided, screw it I am buying some Hershey's Milk Chocolate candy. Thanks to them over charging for candy this week I was able to say screw it and walked out without that candy.
Facts. I have a diagnosis of alcohol use disorder, moderate. Medical detox was harsh and and my body went through it during my first nine months of being sober. Guess what? I found that cravings for food products with processed sugar were more frequent and intense than those for alcohol. But, withdrawal from processed sugar was not near as difficult as I anticipated. Processed sugar is insanely addictive. I'm glad I quit.
Isnât that amazing? The cravings really do stop. I buy dark chocolate without any sugar added and I find having a small piece of it is all I need should I want a little treat. I was at my mothers and I had a piece of dark chocolate of hers and all I tasted was sugar.. I love being sugar-free.
Cut carbs and sugars about 6
Months ago. Everything Dr Berg has said I have noticed first hand. All while losing 75 pounds and continuing to lose more. I feel better than I ever have at 41 years old. Thank you for these videos Dr Berg!!
what do you eat if you don't eat sugar or carbs?
Carbs are everywhere I don t think you cut it completely
@@TrueShoot1000 no I know fruit vegetables suppose the aim is to reduce it a lot but then I don't understand these other videos that say eat carbs to lose weight đ

Its called whole foods. From the earth . Think veggies, fruit, pure protein such as fish, pure meat (not sausage meat , bacon, or things like lunch meat), all whole eggs are fine. Quit the bread, sugar, candy, anything in a box or a can
Think salad, veggies etc.
Cheat meal : rottiserie chicken breast only
SalaD, or veggies.
No potatoes !!
No sugary drinks, try water with lemon
No soda.
Coffee is fine. No sugar
Fat isn't bad if it's.natural. avocado is fine.
Where as sunflower, cottonseed, man made oil is out. Look to olive instead.
No to sweets/candy.
Research Atkins diet/also keto.
Say no to peanut butter/white bread/white pasta, rice, potato.
You get rid of sugar cravings : by no sugar for three days !
Minimise sugar in coffee slowly until none at all.
Quit juice especially!!! (Just eat a piece of fruit instead. FYI it takes 20 oranges to make one glass ! And yet no one would eat that much fruit at once !)
For those who are still skeptical, i started this prosses a while ago ( about 4 months ago ) and didn't change anything else in my diet. i went from 240 pounds to 180 in 4 months. I'm just saying this isn't bullshit i'm living it right now and its so worth it!! Its day and night how much better you feel!!!
Tf u eat? Everything has sugar
When you say no sugar does that include not eating fruit??

I gave up sugar three months ago and lost almost 30 pounds doing no physical exertion, I couldnât believe it.
When you say , you gave up sugar, you mean fruit and dark chocolate as well?
Did you give up all sugar, or just added sugar?
Thatâs amazing!! Did you still eat bread and pasta ? Or did you cut those out to?
Did you give up ALL sugar? Even the sugar in certain vegetables and fruit? I eat very little refined sugars bit I eat okinawa sweet potatoes and berries
Do you have to give up fruits and honey?
I came off sugars 7 weeks ago. It was the best decision ever!!!!
Did your face get less bloated ?
When you say you can off sugar, did you stop eating natural sugars as well? Did you completely cut out fruit??
I've been sugar free for 2 hours. I'll come back with updates if I'm strong enough to go longer. UPDATE: I've caved a few times in the past month, but for the most part I've stayed away from all sources of added sugar. my double chin is almost gone and my torso is slimmer. My energy levels are better. Next I'm cutting out the things that turn into sugar in the body.

Hey are you still alive?
I am 63 and had a serious sugar addiction. I literally ate my way to diabetes. Now, I am on a keto diet and do intermittent fasting for 16 -20 hours a day.

@@vhilton40000 donât give up! The results are real! Throw some walking in there too. It helps you even more.
đŻ FACTS!!!
Iâve tried this healthy Keto before for up to 3 months straight, I lost 8 pounds in 2 weeks going from 128 to 120 lbs. the first week was really hard the 2nd week was better after that I was definitely less hungry and my clothes were fitting better, but I didnât experience more energy which I was really looking forward to and my mood wasnât better at all ;it was worse) I had to eat by myself because seeing my family eating carbs and sweets was definitely hard, I went back to my old way of eating, I felt like I couldnât go to any family gatherings I couldnât go to eat out with my family because most places donât have this healthy food đ
I stopped eating sugar just over I was 1 year ago (in July) & it is the single best health decision Iâve ever made. I use raw honey in my coffee & it tasted so much better. I lost 40 lbs in 5 months of cutting sugar. I then removed all white food from my diet; starched, bleached foods. That took me down another 15 lbs. I was up to 205 lbs & am now 150 at age 50. Iâve never felt better. My knees work again & I donât huff & puff. Itâs all about what you put into your body. â¤
Edit since people donât know the difference. Sugar has refined sugar that is MUCH more unhealthy than honey. I didnât think Iâd have to put âI stopped eating refined sugarâ but I guess I do since there are so many dense know it alls in the comments.
"my knees work again"

Whenever I willingly binge out on sugar for a weekend, my right knee flares up for about 3 days. I limp. I literally cut the sugar. And presto, right back to sprinting. Same thing happens after an alcohol binge.
Listen to your body.
How do u do it? I'm mean I'm struggling to control my emotion and my addiction to sugar but I always fail.

Yeah it works, congrats takes much discipline.
Iâm fit, and run between 5-12km a day. The issue is, Iâve started my masterâs program and have lost time for myself. Sugar is the number 1 craving I get when I feel stressed, bored, or tired (of which I am in a constant state of since prepping for my MA and working 5 days a week through this summer).
I am going to start day 1 of my sugar fast tomorrow, and will give updates if anyone wants any at the end of the two weeks. This video provided all the incentives I needed to push myself past that sugar addiction in order to unlock my full athletic and intellectual capabilities! Wish me luck! đĽ

Just cut sugar out 3 days because I was doing a candida cleanse. Everything you said in this video is 100% true.. Iâve lost 4 lbs surprisingly and couldnât understand why. Thank you so much for all information given in this clip and all your videos. At first I was only thinking about doing the cleanse but now with all the results Iâm seeing and after watching this, Iâm cutting out sugar and carbs. The results are almost immediate and my pain and inflammation is slowly disappearing. Had no idea sugar and carbs were contributing to it all. â¤ď¸â¤ď¸â¤ď¸
Me too. I actually lost 40 lbs in a month from doing eric berg keto idea and intermittent fasting. I was mind blown. I actually got too skinny then had to go back up 10 lbs.
Me tooo I love dr. Berg's video very informative and all the time it's true in just one week of cutting completely sugar I lost 2 kg naturally forst I had headaches and all I was lil numb lazy don't knkw why lack of energy but then I was surprised by looking at my weight
I stopped eating sugar 1 year and 4 months ago and Iâve never gone back. I was in chronic pain and took max doses of oxycodone for over 10 years. I always felt awful and I covered it up with opioids. When my doctor told me I was pre-diabetic and wanted to put me on meds I decided to change my diet. I had no idea that quitting sugar iwould affect me like it has. I lost 50 lbs, I look and feel 20 years younger, Iâm no longer pre-diabetic, no brain fog, I am so happy I went on this journey. I donât take pain medication at all and I have no pain! Thank you Dr Berg.
I was a sugarholic. Tried this challenge 3 weeks ago and within days felt a big improvement. Lost weight, dont feel bloated, feel younger, more energy. There's been such an improvement, I'm continuing the IF and holding off the sugar as I really dont want to go back to feeling so unwell. Many thanks Dr Berg, for this video.
Excellent. Glad you tried it. Keep up the good work!

Hey I have a question.. when you cut out sugar did you only cut out refined sugar and ate things like fruits? Or did you not have any sugar at all?
@@charliiiiii.1448 good question
I cut the sugar out a couple of years ago. In my own personal experience, none of these things happened in the first two weeks. To be clear, all of these things absolutely happened, just not as quickly.
The first week was hell on earth. I couldn't focus, my memory was screwy, I got irritated much easier, I constantly felt hungry, and I was exhausted. The one thing not mentioned enough here is that our bodies are physically addicted to sugar, so when we cut it out, we go through withdraw. There's a lot of similarity with drug addicts. Our drug is sugar.
If any of you are thinking about doing this, just stick with it through the first week or two. Once your body gets through the withdraw, all of the items on this list kick in and you will feel better than you have ever felt. The weight falls off, your mind clears, your energy returns, foods you never thought would fill you up will make you full. It's 100% worth it. I dropped 50 pounds in less than a year, I started writing again, and I was just happier with my life.
Just know you have to get through that physical withdraw first. Nothing worth doing is ever easy.
Did you have to stop eating fruits or did you just give up processed sugar?
Do you have a page? Or any videos of what you eat? I'm just thinking đ¤ would your diet just be plant based? Sorry for the ingnorance.
@@Lucia-nu2ks well obviously natural sugars is necessary to your diet and healthy as it's eaten with fibre, sugar is a must for your diet but 'artificial' or processed sugar is not
Actually, when I tried it the first time I also felt really bad, I was fatigued and couldn't concentrate from the first day so I stopped. What I noticed was that I was doing it the wrong way. I thought the reason it didn't work for me is because I have 2 autoimmune diseases which are Hashimoto's and Graves disease. I was wrong and the reason why It didn't work for me the first time was because I wasn't drinking any electrolytes during the day. I made sure that I had a total of around 2,000 mg - 2,500 mg of Himalayan sea salt or real salt per day which is equal to 1 tea spoon a day. My current weight is 139 and my height is 5.3 feet so I feel fine with this sodium amount but much taller people who weigh more need 1-3 teaspoons a day. I also made sure I was eating 3,000 - 4,700 mg of potassium per day from veggies and protein and make sure to take a minimum of 400 mg of magnesium per day. If anyone starts doing this from the first day doing keto you won't experience any side effects. Also, make sure you're eating the correct calories and macros for your weight and height. I was overeating and adding too much butter to my food and noticed that butter made me feel worst so I had to replace butter with guee the second time and now I feel amazing and have no more fatigue or lack of concentration. Before I had to sleep 10 - 12 hours to feel I had had some sleep and now only sleep 7 hours and feel energized.
Thanks for sharing your experience. What foods do you mostly eat nowadays? I'm looking to cut out sugar as well. Thanks.
The thing I love and appreciate most is that you are the "proof" because you went through this journey yourself, and this is encouraging for everyone to visibly "see" what this has done for you! God bless you!
I stumbled upon your channel in search of a low carb no sugar diet and you are a lifesaver. your videos keep me motivated to stick with keto, which I only just recently started. I always feel very hopeful and excited for my future health after watching your channel.

I had a major sugar addiction but now quit sugar in both tea and coffee and
Stopped eating tons of biscuits too, I lost 28LBS and feel so much better.
I did this and still drink beer sometimes and have lost 58 pounds since February (7 months). I was 258 now 200 (6 foot tall). Mainly just drink black coffee and water. Cut out a lot of bread and no more sweets or creamer. My blood pressure is way down - 115/78 instead of 140 to 150 over 90 to 100. My heart rate is also a lot lower - 60 resting. I feel way better. I am a lot less hungry too. I still eat carbs sometimes, but not nearly as much and focus more on vegetables and meat and have a low carb nut bar for breakfast usually or eggs. Cutting out the sweets and carbs does wonders. Iâve always worked out, but never had the results until I lowered the carbs. I now fit into large shirts and maybe am a 32 waist instead of 36. I am lucky this video was suggested to me by CZcams. This video changed my life and I canât thank Eric Berg enough for making this video.
My jaw dropped at every number on this list that you mentioned. Long story short, I had let my health get to a very scary point recently. Went to a new doctor a few weeks ago on September 11 and got some blood work done. I knew I needed to lose weight and knew that my numbers were probably not going to be good because of my horrible diet.
The numbers came back extremely bad like I thought they would and Monday, September 11 I started a whole new eating plan and completely got rid of sugar and processed foods.
Iâm currently on week three of changing my life for the better and everything you have described on this list I have felt personally. I too was waking up probably eight times a night going to the bathroom. I appreciate this video so much because it makes me realize that I am finally doing the right thing and Iâm listening to my body so much. currently have a weight loss goal of 178 pounds and I was able to drop 8 pounds that first week by those simple changes. Looking forward to watching some more of your videos. Thanks for the great info.
Great job! Howâs it going?

Amazing!! đ
Regarding urine, it's been three months ago since I almost completely stopped eating stuff with sugar. I'm a truck driver here in Texas. I drive from Austin to Houston on a daily basis. Before I stopped eating all kinds of food with sugar and drinking Dr. Pepper, I would stop at least two to three times to urinate at gas stations or truck stops. But now that I almost completely stop eating and drinking sugar, I can actually drive to Houston or return to Austin without stopping two or three times to urinate. Yes, my face is a lot slimmer and my gut is almost gone. Went from a size 36 to 34 on the first month, second month, down to a size 32, and now I'm a size 31. I have more mental focus, more energetic, and my fingers on my feet and hands no longer feel numb. My doctor was very impressed since the last time I saw her for my yearly visit. Thanks for your CZcams channel, I almost feel like a teenager. Much success and blessings in everything you do Dr. Berg. Cheers from Austin Texas.
GOOD JOB DRIVER!!!
Thatâs awesome thanks for your testimony, it really gives me encouragement to start my sugar-less journey.

Or just no junk food & soda?
what did you eat since you cant eat carbs or sugar? only salads and fish for omega fatty acids etc?
i realy wanna test it out. thing is i cant watch out for every thing since i stil live with my parents haha.
so i eat what i get
It's been around 50 days since I drastically reduced my sugar intake by 95%. I've been power walking about 3 to 4 miles every day and doing some moderate weight lifting for 15 minutes or so and I've managed to lose around 40 pounds so far! If I can do it, anyone can. JUST DO IT! We really have no other choice.
You are doing great. Keep it up!
@@Drberg Thank you, doctor. Guess what? I had my first cheat days yesterday and the day before. After experiencing how my body reacted to processed carbs, I don't think I can ever go back to including them in my diet. I felt quite uncomfortable the next day, but I persevered and still went about my daily routine. Luckily, I live in Colombia where organic foods are readily available. My wife's family is quite large, so we are always receiving fruits and veggies from their land. During my walks, I come across 15 or more different types of fruits and veggies growing, wildly, in the parks and along the way. Eating healthier has also made me a more patient person, improved my clarity of thought, and other cool stuff. Thank you for all the good, info. Keep up the good work. Have a good day.
Today is my 3rd day of intermittent fasting. I'm feeling the difference in my brain and my mood.. I cut out sugar and reduced carbs. Day 1 I had 2 meals, 12 noon and at 6. Day 2 I had my meal at 12 noon, then at 6 I wasn't hungry, and I had 2 slices of watermelon. This is day 3 and I ate at 12 noon.. stay tuned.
This is such valuable information, thank you, Dr. Berg. I wish I could share this information with everyone I know, but most people don't really want to hear it. Recently an associate of mine died at the age of 64 from cirrhosis of the liver, it is tragic, I see so many people who could benefit from this.
I've quit sugar about 5 years ago. Didn't gain a single pound in weight since. My teeth are in their best condition in forever and I'm literally never tired. Would recommend.
This is so true. I lost 60 pounds in four months by cutting out my soda addiction and fast food. Haven't caved, still going strong six years later.
that's awesome!
I've been working on my soda addiction by trying to limit it to a window of time in the afternoon and slowly shinking it. Right now, I have it 12pm-6pm, but my end goal is 2-4 pm. I've tried cold turkey before but always failed.
Not me. Stopped all soda. Lost nothing. Fast food at most once in a month, lost nothing.

For years I've been working out off and on but not seeing the results in my mid section as I've been wanting. Right about 1 month ago I saw this video , I completely stopped consuming products with added sugar,alcohol, flour , rice and starchy foods. For the first time as an adult I've seen such a huge difference in my body. I lost more weight with this diet without working out than when I was. I got so excited that I started working out again because I feel encouraged. This experience, worked so rapid I thought my old scale was acting up, so I ordered a new one... turns out the old scale was right.
I started at 194lbs now I'm at 183lbs and looking better and feel way more energetic. There is no turning back, this is my new lifestyle. Thank you Doctor Berg for your life changing advice!!
You're a blessing to everyone that hears you Dr Berg. I am going to listen to this over & over again. (Especially at night When I want to order a pizza! Or right before going out playing gig's in bars! đľđť đŹđ¸) Thank you a million times over. No, Thank you infinityđ Dr. Berg!
I followed this 2 months before my daughters wedding. I was a hefty 252 pound former athlete. I cut out sugar, bread, and pasta. No sodas, no juices. Basically, almost anything that was processed because there is so much added sugar in processed food. I dropped 33 pounds in the 2 months! Granted, the first 2 weeks are tough but you just need to be strong and tell yourself that it is over in 2 months. I look and feel great! I sleep better and I don't get sleepy during the mid-afternoon. Now, I don't want to go back to my bad eating habits.
33 pounds, dam
I bet you looked like a million bucks đ
Yeah you lost mostly water weight because you cut carbohydrates which hold water. Keto diet essentially...
Ok
I was diagnosed as pre-diabetic and after cutting of sugar completely, I dropped 28lbs.
I stopped consuming foods with added sugars about a year ago (Iâm 19) and it has profoundly helped me. Many people around me at home and in my workplace condemn me due to my aptitude of living a healthy lifestyle. Rather peculiar.
I just wanted to share that it is oddly common to receive criticism from others merely by bettering yourself.
Moreover, itâs so worth it!
This is very funny to read. Iâve experienced the same in my life as well. All you need to do is stick to maintaining your great health while others complain and wonder why youâre doing so well. Keep at it!
Misery loves company. Keep doing you!
This is SO true. So many people look down on me when I turn down food at workâŚlike I think Iâm better than them or something.
Iâm not trying to be mean about it. I just prefer to eat the food I prepare myself and doesnât have a bunch of preservatives in it. đ¤ˇââď¸
19, wise and well spoken. Best to you!
People don't actually like to see other people succeed - they are envious or jealous and will do whatever they can to make you fail and drag you down to their level. Happens all of the time...
Iâve given it up for so many years and I can tell you 10 years later Iâm very thankful I did! I feel great, aging well, I donât get sick but every few years and Iâve instead consumed nutritious foods and been low carb keto for a long time. My energy is great. Life is great without sugar!
Hi Dr.
Thanks to you Iâve now been sugar and flour free for 6 weeks. Iâve noticed all the changes as per this video.
My GP is not going to recognise me, upon my next visit/blood test đ.
Thank you so much!

Excerpts:
What would happen if you gave up sugar for just two weeks.
1. Changes in your face and midsection
Your face would become slimmer, and you would lose weight in your midsection because your liver is releasing fat.
2. Improvements in your eyes, brain, arteries, and kidneys
You'll experience a lot of benefits and potential improvements in these four areas of the body when you cut out sugar.
3. Decreased urination at night
You'll get up less at night to urinate because water follows sugar. Consuming sugar triggers urination, especially at night.
4. More energy
Your body is forced to run on fat fuel instead of sugar fuel. Your body has more calories from stored fat to use as fuel, giving you more energy.
5. Cravings between meals go away
Your cravings and appetite will go away between meals because even though you're not eating, your body is satisfied by your own fat.
6. Less stiffness, pain, and inflammation
These issues can start to improve when you stop consuming sugar, and you may notice less of a need for certain medications.
7. Weight loss
You're going to lose water weight as well as actual fat. Many different health benefits also come with losing weight.
8. Better skin
You may notice improvements in your skin because of a drop in inflammation.
9. Improves insulin resistance
Insulin resistance is at the heart of many health conditions. But, when you give up sugar, you can start to improve insulin resistance.

What a fantastic video! I am currently on Whole30, which allows for no added sugar, no refined carbs, no processed food, and no dairy. I am one week in and my skin is starting to clear up, and has a glow. I have done Whole30 for a month in the past, but slowly started back eating junk food and lots of sugars. This time around, I am becoming more aware of the many recipes I can make, as well as healthy desserts! This video is good motivation to never go back to eating sugar and processed junk. There are too many health benefits for cutting out the unnecessary sugar in our lives. Thanks.
Iâm day 10 into this and have already started noticing improvements even just with my skin! Extremely keen to see more progress
Wonderful. Keep up the good work!
After hearing this, I feel like sugar should be in the same category as hard drugs and be banned! At this point it might be the be only way to quit! It's even more difficult to get away from because it's hidden in everything!!!! Lord help me!!
agreed but we can live it without it forever unless we think we can
I think the issue is that sugar is so embedded into everything and too political to just go away. And the fake sugars all taste so gross.

@@Drberg When your body has no sugar to burn it doesnât go after the fat, it goes after the carbs, hence the low/no carb diets. Carbs = Glycogen. Glycogen = fuel stored in your body/liver/brain. Until youâre depleted of carbs only then can you start burning fat.

By sugar free you mean 0 sugar added (so you can still eat fruits) or completely 0 sugars?

Thank you for this video. I started cutting all sugar from my diet two days ago and am committed to a sugar free diet. I noticed a loss of energy over time and my wife has complained about my mood swings for a while. I've never had a doctor advise me to give up sugar.They always stressed diet and exercise, but I was constantly losing then eventually regaining what I'd lost. The results you state would be a god-send as I'm usually too tired or don't have any desire to do anything. Also, if I could stop having to take BP medicine would be great.
I canât believe how amazing my body has been to me even though Iâve put it through he77 the last 2 decades! I have to show my body more appreciation
I am dealing with fatigue, bad skin, my face is puffy af, I'm bloated, always tired, I feel stiff and just not as limber and I KNOW it's bcuz I'm addicted to sugar.

Cutting-out all forms of sugar changed my life completely. It's insane how this molecule can cause so much damage in the body to the point where people think being sick is normal. I'll never go back to eating sugar.
What foods do you avoid to cut out sugar?
@@jaden9760 good question, Iâm curious about fruit sugar??
I respect that for sure.
What about fruits sugar??
@@rajendraawasthi7123 It is fructose sugar I think it is fine to consume. But note fruit that is juiced contains alot of fructose sugar. For example eating a whole apple takes time drinking the same apple in juice form is fast so you can get more fructose sugar in from juicing than you.
I stopped eating sugar on January 3rd 2019. i went from 189 Lbs to 155Lbs. i`m still there to this day. I intermittent fast 4 days a week and I limit my carbs to around 50 to 75 a day. I used to be on 30 total carbs in 2019. My bloodwork is perfect. My doctor is can`t believe how great my bloodwork is! He says my good cholesterol is so high it destroys my bad cholesterol . To this day my weight only changes about 2 lbs either way. I`m 63. People can`t believe I still eat the same way almost 4 years later.

Several years ago I was on keto, and messed it up on vacation. I tried to get into ketosis, and was unable. Frustrated, I gave up and continued eating whatever. On March 5, I saw a video by Ken Berry about carnivore, and did carnivore for 25 days to sort of reset my body. I then switched to healthy keto diet, and I'm now doing keto and intermittent fasting OMAD. I'm down 15lbs, and feeling much better. You and Ken Berry are saving my life. From the bottom of my heart, thank you for all you do.

Sugar is the likely the biggest reason for illness and chronic disease in our lifetime. Thanks Doc for always reminding us (your followers) what the real dietary culprit of today is
It is indeedâŚcauses inflammationâŚand inflammation begins a spiraling effect on the bodyâŚ.called DiseaseâŚ.
And seed oils
The dietary culprit of today and yesterday is mucus. Get get of the mucus that causes inflammation that causes the disease
Not really. The secret is vegetable oil (poly-unsaturated). It's truly a toxic waste product of collaboration between pharmaceutical, investors and elite politician back in the '80. Before the invention of veggies oils USA hardly ever have cancer, Alzheimer, and (diabetes is never heard of). Kaiser hospital is 2 hr drive but now Kaiser is almost as much as 7/11. My family didn't get fool by the US government big hype "alternative healthy fat" in the '90 during Democrat-Clinton's administration, especially knowingly how native Indians got treated in this country. We always cook with pork fat, butter, coconut oil and we're almost near retirement now with no health issue. I'm 55 and my cardio is equivalence to teenager. Life is good as long as you create your own path and never to follow the heard...As for sugar, it has been around the world since stone-ages. Don't forget sugar is just as good as gold back in the old day and no one every die from it. Vegetable oil, however, only begun 30+yr ago and now the whole country is collapsing from overweight.
Sugar is the biggest poison in the world..
And they keep on pushing these Sugers on our kids from an early age..
The biggest benefit from not eating sugar that I noticed was no joint pain from inflammation. I have experienced the other positives from it, but I definitely pass on my experience to others. I'm in my 50's...
I am 70, with the usual aches and such, so going forward to remove all sugar starting right now.
lets see how it goes.
I still walk 5 miles a day, with a resting heart rate about 58 bps.
but da knees, boss, da knees!
Respect for u
@@jobob47 Thanks for the reply. Sounds like you are on the right track. It wasn't overnight that I felt the difference, just rolled out of bed one morning and something was different, for the better. I was a distance runner in my youth and had a patella cracked and cartilage damage in a 2010 auto accident. So I get the knees... mine are doing great. I"m 5'11 and dropped to 160 lbs as well, from my much improved diet. Aside from sugar, I avoid processed foods as much as possible. I'm also in a profession for 30 years that keeps me active and very wary of arthritis. Dr. Berg has discussed diet extensively- I eat eggs, simple meats, vegetables, fruits, nuts, and some cheese. I've never smoked, left drinking behind before I graduated college, and don't take any sort of drugs. Perhaps I'll be able to walk 5 miles a day when I'm 70.
Good Bless you! Very very nice pcs of information đđđâ¤
The main thing that changed for me first after cutting sugar is my face was thinner and I have so much more energy
All of my menopausal symptoms stopped by cutting out as much sugar and carbs as possible. And eating more unprocessed foods. At 52 I feel so much healthier. Dr Berg's advice is worth listening to.
Thank you for this - I'm struggling myself and I need inspiration.

Workt for me cutting down on suger my menopause symptoms improved lots more energy better brain function even less hot flashes and brain fog symptoms drinking a cup of hot water in the morning after breakfasts helps to cut down on alot of my menopause symptoms for the day also helps with blood circulation Regulates the hormones
I cut out sugar this is my first week, I can def tell the withdrawals and Iâm praying my way through it.
You can do this! Willpower will prevail and the reward will be worth it!

@@bettielubbe1825 Bananas do have a lot of sugar, but try eating them when they are more green and not completely yellow, as at this early stage they do not have as much sugar. (This is according to Dr Guidry). Another point in favor of bananas is that they give us balanced magnesium and especially potassium. It is hard to get a good balance of these two nutrients from natural sources, so bananas are helpful to the body in that way. I will add that according to some nutritionists bananas should be eaten on their own, not combined with other fruits, or baked into breads and muffins. If you mash the banana and stir it vigorously into a glass of water and drink it, it has a very nourishing effect.

I stopped eating sugar on February 15th of this year. Iâm down 67 pounds as of today. Itâs very true that your face will start to lose its puffiness. I noticed that my mood has improved, I feel more level headed and focused. I cut way down on carbs too. Iâm so proud of myself! I spent so much time in and out of gyms but I was working out just so I could eat whatever I wanted to. This time around, I thought it was more important for me to fix my diet. I pay more attention to what happens to my body when I eat certain foods and thatâs why Iâve been able to keep the weight off without going to the gym. Eventually Iâll go to tone up but Iâd rather just keep the focus on what Iâm eating/not eating for right now.

That's really awesome! I get overwhelmed when I think of quitting sugar. Idk what TO eat. Especially since I'm vegetarian. But it's very commendable that you're sticking to it!
I went on a low carb low sugar diet about 6 months ago, I was an already very fit person, but I still dropped weight... feel better, get full easier, don't get hungry in between meals, ect. I just feel much healthier over all. I eating maybe 30 grams or less of carbs and far far less sugar a day.

Thanks fimor sharing doc. This is true. Quit carbs and sugar. I lost 20Kls. Feeling better now. At first its hard to adjust because we are used on carbs and sugar diet. But when we are used to it. Then all follows well. Best of luck for all of us carb at sugar quitterđ
I can't tell you how much better i feel, been watching your videos for over 3 weeks now and down 16 pounds and no pain at all, i thought wow turning 60 means pain,, nope don't have to be.... i feel better now than i did in all my 50's
I want to add that giving up sugar takes a massive commitment and initially the body craves sugar so much that you will need to be very determined and focused on your longer term goals and be able to not cave in. I have friends who say they tried it but it made them feel terrible. However it takes a while and they didnât give it long enough. Great video for those who have tried other things and have now hit rock bottom.....that was me
Yes! It's hard! It takes commitment, emotional strength, cooking more, careful shopping, and other things. And the cravings don't go away in 3 days. Maybe that's the experience for some people, but not me, and I'm sure for many others. I've read several places that it takes a week to start feeling better. It was a week for me until the intense cravings and bad moods stopped, and then after 2 weeks I finally had very little craving for sugar plus my health felt better. Every person is different.
That transition phase is where fat bombs are helpful.
agree 100 %
Specific nutrients have been identified to eliminate sugar cravings. Glutamine and omega 3s. In my opinion, both these nutrients are crucial because it comes with other nutrients in natural foods that the body requires. They are in real foods. Not processed foods, and not supplements. One is a essential fat, the other isn't essential but foods with that amino acid typically contain lots of nutrients that are essential.
Yeah, sugar is one of those things that you should not cut out cold turkey or youâll get terrible headaches. But I did his first cut out consuming sugary drinks and desserts. Once your body acclimate to that, then you can water fast or keto diet. Otherwise youâll be miserable.
I lost 20 lbs cutting out all sugars đ My husband actually told me NOT to lose any more weight. I am down to 115 lbs but I'm only 5'2"/5'3" so i actually look better than I have since I was a teenager and i also feel great. This diet is pretty amazing!

U still FAT , I SEEN U THE OTHER DAY
@@nastynate2379 I weigh 110 lbs. Lmao đ My guess would be that YOU are fat! If not fat, I know FOR CERTAIN that you are MISERABLE. If you weren't miserable, you wouldn't comment such crappy things on someone's comment. I feel sorry for. I pray that Christ softens your heart and makes you a happier individual. God bless â¤ď¸
@@annahornstra4078 just having fun on the INTERNET SWEETHEART , No hard feelings
What other sugarless foods can I eat than?
Thank you Doc God bless you, am starting this journey, am hopeful for great health and wellness
So the title should be what happens to your body when you quit sugar AND carbs. Good info thanks.
I gave up all PROCESSED sugar four years ago, and lost about 30 lbs, 140 to 110 (I'm 5'8"). I still eat healthy food with natural occurring sugar as in fruits and vegtables, and stay cognizant of carbs. I just don't overdue it.
It does make you look younger if that's what you're after. I get tired of hearing from overweight people, "you're so skinny".
Just overweight people say this to you? Interesting.. how rude!
I also hear from people bigger than me "you can't starve yourself (intermittent fasting). You can't lose weight like that". I've lost 19 lbs so far
Iâm told, âYou need to gain weight.â Iâm on keto to be healthy, not to lose weight. I am 66 and on no meds. It works.
â@@DannaK1207 Seriously how rude of U? Are U overweight? Interesting because If you were thin skinny or light weight I'm sure you'd get sick of hearing it too heck I know I'm sick of it especially from my own family. Hmm think of it, maybe not just the overweight people say it but I bet the percentages that do say it outweigh the lower weight folks. Don't hate, educate yourself especially with Dr Berg and like this video states you'll be so much more nicer and pleasant to be around
Yes its the processed food thatbis the problem. We have got to stop lumping fruit and processed sugar together. I eat about 500 grams of "sugar" from fruit every day. I would be in a diabetic coma if I ate 500 grams of processed sugar every day.
I've cut sugar almost completely and I have to say the hardest part is finding food in the US that doesn't have sugar
fruit sugar is good btw
we should ban sugar in America
Amen, everything processed is in my view optimized to become as addictive as possible.
â@Cee M cheap, bad for u and addictive, just the way God intended
Yep, same. I travel for work and everyday I wander into a gas station trying to figure out what snacks I can get that have no sugar added lol. Hard boiled eggs, beef jerky, plain nuts, fruit. New habits.
This video popped up again today. That's two of your quit sugar videos I've found today. Thank you đ
You are very welcome!
May you live forever so humanity can continue to learn from your immense knowledge
I quit sugar 3 months ago and Iâve lost 20 pounds without exercising. My face is thinner, my clothes fit looser and I feel better all around.
That's fantastic! Thank you for sharing!

My first step in quitting sugar was that I stopped adding sugar to my coffee. I hated it for the first two days, but then I noticed that coffee started to taste way better! And since I started drinking coffee without sugar, my taste changed - I never feel like eating sweets or cake, and I used to love them.
I will definitely try doing this.
So true. It is a habit we get used to. Well done you.
@@YemisiA It's a really interesting experiment. It had never occured to me before that sugar distorts the true taste of coffee!
Funny a few days without sugar, and I no longer crave sugar-it doesnât even LOOK like food anymore. â¤đthumbs up to you Dr. B
@@jillnelson8746 For me it was about 3 - 4 days and cravings were all but gone . When you start eating healthy, your tastes change . Anything with sugar in it is too sweet for me now which makes it easier to stay away from . Learn to read labels. Most of the sugar is hidden in foods that aren't even sweet.
This is a million dollar worth video for everybody.... Thanks Doctor for such a valuable information !
I have a diet plan and I named it "no excuses" .. write down the goal you want to achieve and every time you feel the urge to deviate from your plan just tell yourself "no excuses" and keep moving forward.. after 72 hours you will feel a tremendous difference in positivity and the willingness to keep going with your diet. You got this.
