No I didn’t like the episode unfortunately. This guy and 99% of the other nutrition people you’ve brought on are basically grifters and have fringe views because the truth is boring! I get it you’ve got the podcast. I’ll save everyone a lot of time. Go and watch the episode with Layne Norton. That’s the only one who is willing to be honest.
Keep bringing guests like this and watch your viewership tank. This episode is a huge L.
We love you 👍🏽🙏🏽❤️
It’s simple - eat real food; sleep; move your body; have positive social interactions; hydrate; give thanks. The end.
Is that what the video said? I don't want to sit through a 90 minute video of that is all it says. Reading a 10 second summary is more efficient.
@@audience2 Not if you want to understand how your body works and process glucose and fructose,
@@audience2if fast and summaries were efficient we would not have the health crisis we have now. Because everybody gets quick info in the internet these days, and follows it. Yet….
@0921AV fasting works perfect. Fasting isn't the issue, the issue is people actually having the discipline to do it. Big difference.
Well said!!!
A quote from Dr. Lustig that I never forgot ……
“Any food that is linked to a television commercial should not be consumed.” Brilliantly said, and a great boundary to put in place.
I absolutely agree!
Fantastic interview, thanks
100% - don't forget about "Beef. It's what's for dinner" (National Livestock and Meat Board) - "Got milk" (California Milk Processor Board) - "Pork. The other white meat" (National Pork Board) - "More to Love" (Tyson Foods)
Can I drop the link to the giant Pfizer ad during the Super Bowel here?
Another one: if it's packaged not to be eaten.
Absolutely criminal what the food industry has gotten away with and still does to this day.
You mean your government
We don’t have to buy the rubbish they want us to!! Cook everything yourself in one go & freeze it,
.Then you can have a quick meal, just prepare vegetables & get your main protein out the freezer to defrost the evening before.
I keep my weight even. Intermittent fasting is wonderful & has been such a blessing to me. I yo yo dieted for 60years, I am now feeling fitter!!
It's NOT "criminal", cawz, it's by DESIGN! FIGURE-it-out -- EVERY-one!!
Its about the flow of money. The food industry makes $$$ and creates the health issues and the pharmaceutical industry( including the diet industry) makes even more $$$$ in offering "solutions" to those same problems.
its essentially the same as the tobacco industry - but actually worse - bc school systems in usa anyway (not sure about uk, etc)....feed these industrial produced edibles for kids lunches -- that is not food - food is nutritious.
Where the hell is the health industry? They don’t care about you. They are out of business if you are healthy. Love Dr. Lustig.
Lol is a business mob. One feeds you trash, the other one supposedly treats you and you are an eternal customer
Thank you for this conversation.
As a pre med student , Harvard, I met with the department head of Nutrition at the School of Medicine, telling him that it was a conflict of interest that he was the head of the department, yet was also on the sugar board.
I was promptly asked to leave his office.
That eye opening meeting resulted in my life-long dedication to educating others of how to achieve vitality and health radiance through diet and lifestyle.
The next year I started a health teaching museum with other talented professionals who believed that young children were the target audience for health information.
I am pleased to see that I have lived long enough to see an entire generation of health professionals who are brave and audacious enough to whistle blow in response to food crimes against humanity.
Well done, gentlemen!
Impressive!
Lady barb, you have met the wall. When you hit the wall you didn’t walk or run away. You poll vaulted over that wall and made your own path, congratulations! The next would be to fight these powers and extinguish them. It’s so not fair that people who will never find there way to health truth by way of this video a friend relative, there never going to find it in education your story is case in point. If you can’t get truth in college you’re not getting it in elementary where it needs to start. Money is King.
Few would argue with limiting excessive amounts of refined carbohydrates to realize better health, at any age. But, some people can tolerate them better than I, and not everybody eats them to excess. There are lazy, overweight couch potatoes who eat junk food several times a week who have better blood sugar numbers than I do. It isn't fair. Diabetes is a complex, multifactorial health condition that should never be blamed solely on eating this or that.
Good for you 👍 👏 🙌

I am a 48 year old with Cerebral Palsy. I have been ambulatory since age 4. When I consume even the tiniest amount of sugar (less than a teaspoon), I experience paralysis. I can't move my arms or legs and my speech, which is otherwise completely normal becomes very impaired. We make all of our food from scratch now and I don't have a problem.
Fascinating! Thanks for sharing.
You're welcome!! It's so important! 😀
Thanks for sharing this info, I’m in my mid 40s and trying to be healthier.
wow!! very interesting!
Wow! You're literally allergic to sugar. It's good you know.
As a pediatric nurse, I must say this is one of the most wonderful podcasts I've ever listened to. I will definitely save it and send it to some folks.
When I was pregnant with my first child, I could not stand the smell of sugar for more than a year. I lost so much body fat and it stayed away effortlessly. The amount of food I required was less than half of what I’d normally ate. Whenever I ate something sweet, I’d take two bites and have sugar overload. It just didn’t taste good anymore. This kept up for years!
Sadly, I allowed myself to eat more sugar (oddly, for social reasons) and the weight came back. Now I’m back to square one and have to figure this out with willpower. 😔
I hear that! I often eat to be polite. To flatter someone. It's hard butnot impossible to be firm. Your real friends will understand.
Go Carni, it works
The good news is that once you get your glucose under control you lose the craving for sugar. I’ve been following the hacks in Glucose Revolution for a week. No cravings and I’ve lost 6 pounds already while eating more than ever before.
Call Bath or ice path. It only needs to be 58° in. Be up to your shoulders in it for 3 minutes. It's not that hard, you will feel so much better you will dance like.

Stephen I discovered this Doctor 3 yrs ago after my GP told me I was pre diabetic. 3 yrs on my blood levels are completely normal and everyone tells me how good I look recently. This man should be on every TV in the world but the food industry is trying to shut him up. Follow his work and you will change your life like he has changed mine. Stuart J 59 year old male uk

Beautiful! I'm glad you took charge of your life!!
Congratulations!!!! Well done.
Brillant to finally here someone speak up so clearly, fascinating explanation, thank you! In my family we've always been obsessed with our food and the cooking of it, I was taught food is our medicine for life and even under financial stress I never waiver from home cooking from scratch day in day out, and at a lesser cost. But like everything it's a discipline that pays off. All processed foods are poison as is sugar, my father taught us that from day 1, stay simple and as natural as possible.
That's fantastic 🎉
"The more pleasure you seek, the more unhappy you get". This is a testament to the fact that we live in a societal malaise.
due to the existential dread of living in a cold, uncaring universe hurtling toward oblivion...
The neurochemical basis for this blew my mind! I’ve seen people philosophize about how we’ve traded long- for short-term happiness, but hearing the causal mechanism behind it really drives it home.
"I want it all and I want it now..."
smart phones are tied in my opinion same..led to sloth of every form
It's kind of like this concept is written in a book that people around the world follow and dedicate their lives to. Mmm very interesting
This interview brought me tears. Dr. Lustig’s “why” he does what he does really moved my heart. Respect.
I have been a physician for 50 years and have dealt with weight issues as have my kids and grand kids. For my entire life I have never heard this except for a few pieces here and there. It is a tragedy that we have not heard it. It makes such sense. I stumbled onto keto diet and lost weight and am able to manage diebetes without medication. I have given this to my entire family and will read the book. Thank you.
I’m on day 114 no sugar no carbs. Now no joint pain. I almost can’t believe how I’m feeling now.
None at all, mate? How are you functioning? 😂
@@hannamaryann0705i went 6 months 0 carbs. Cured my migraines, lost weight, felt better than ever. When I started "eating normally" again my headaches came back and felt so slowed down. Then I realised keto is meant to be my lifestyle not a temporary diet. I now eat around 10g of carbs per day though.
Good for you. I can do without Sugar but not the Carbs 🤷♀️
Give yourself a year or two and see how you go with no fruit and no healthy Carbs
Your body needs complex carbs. That sounds ridiculous and unhealthy.
I had severe hives for 30-40 years on my arms. I went to many many doctors with no improvement. If I could use enough ice to prevent myself from scratching myself bloody during the day, I would do it at night. Finally, a chiropractor said that her mother had scars on her arms like mine, and that she had stopped eating sugar for a week and a half and the hives had gone away. Done! After decades and decades of going to doctors, and thousands of dollars, gone.
that chiropractor was Eric Berg lol
@@harrybilsonia Not unless he has changed his name from Erica.
I may have to try this - I also have hives that show up on my joints and it’s hard to not scratch them bloody
Hydroxyzine can stop the hives..it's a first generation antihistamine. And don't eat high histamine foods...theycause a master cell reaction
Great job to Chiropractor. Again offering simple solutions for problems
Have lost 70+ lbs following a lot of what Dr. Lustig since I got tuned onto Dr. Jason Fung a year back. Have sustainably kept it off. Just ordered Dr. Lustig's Fat Chance.
This is the most sophisticated person on topic unhealthy foods I've ever seen.
He is not afraid to say the truth about the influence of big food companies and how they alter our opinions.
God bless him for what he does!

Home cooked food is the best. Nothing tastes better than a meal you put together yourself. As a mother and wife watching my family eat a home cooked meal brings me so much joy.
Soooo true and its full of love and effort ❤
Agree! One of the things i priorities as a single working mum
I have a mat in front of my sink that says "Cooking with Love provides food for the soul." I only have myself to cook for, most of the time, but it's still a good idea, much better than eating out all the time.
Yes, you're Wright, but it is although
time consuming, especially for working parents with children. I'm a grandmother with grown up grandkids? I know how hard it is.
@@elkegreiser1799 How much more time-consuming is cooking compared to going out to a restaurant, looking at the menu, making a decision, ordering the food, waiting for the food, and God only knows what they use in the food to make it. I put together my meals in about half an hour. I'd say it was time well spent. And at least I know what's in it.
I have a PhD in Chemistry... I found the person interviewed extremely knowledgeable and the interview questions extremely relevant. Fantastic!!
A PhD in Chemistry that only just joined TH-cam 11 months ago.
@@theredboneking What's the correlation? Maybe they've been studying instead of commenting on here
Or it’s a new troll account.
You guys with your degrees are part of the problem. The past 4 years have indicated that we aren’t in a scientific era. Only manipulation. Only signal carriers for corporate determinations. We get it.
@@theredbonekinghow exactly is he trolling?
A friend of mine got pregnant when she was obese. She was concerned about losing her baby; consequently, she watched her food intake. She ate a lot of vegetables during pregnancy...beliver or not, her daughter preferred eating salads and vegetables over carbs and sweets.
My mom and my dad were really big on eating fruits, vegetables, home cooked meals and limiting our juice and pop intake. We drank a lot of water in my childhood and I’m so grateful to my parents for doing this for us. It’s crazy how much this affects us and we don’t know
Soooooo true,in Asian cultures and sub continent home cooked meals was a must Unfortunately slowly it is getting worse because of big companies have currpt the system and people are eating fast food and more desiease.
My parents pushed water too and I do with my kids. I’m grateful as well! As an adult I’m realizing how a lot of people don’t drink regular water
@@calmness956 I’m sorry to hear that. I am Black and I live in America and it is pushed on us too, especially in low income neighborhoods, but my parents didn’t care 😂 we drank more water than anything else
I grew up in a large family and there wasn't the money to buy junk foods, though we always had dessert after dinner. Our after-school snack was toast or cereal and not the sugar-coated kind. We had milk to drink, juice for breakfast. I shudder when I see people buying groceries and their children are with them and the cart is 90% junk and sugar laden products.
@mommamia9948, @descapa2440 - water's great; tap water IS NOT.
Dr. Lustig is my hero. His book Metabolical saved my life. None of the doctors told me that it was the food that I was eating. I went from 317 to 180 when I stopped eating sugar and ultra-processed foods.
Holy shit. Good job, awesome!
@@smckenz5- Thank you. I cook my food. I eat real food, nothing man-made. I don't go out to eat because I don't know exactly what I'm eating. I don't eat sugar, seed oils, or grains. I work in the yard for exercise.
Wow, congrats!! I agree, he tells it like it is, which makes it much easier to draw up an actionable plan.
Huge congratulations 👏🏽 🎉. That is an amazing achievement.
What are the main foods you consumed?
@@kimsinghrai- I eat organic beef, chicken, eggs, and seafood. I eat organic produce. I drink organic swiss water process decaf coffee. I sweeten it with allulose instead of sugar. I'm strongly considering giving up the allulose because I think that it causes an insulin response. I try to keep my insulin levels low.
I am in absolute SHOCK only 30 minutes in. This should be taught to every single individual on this planet!
Agreed, the next question is 'why'? Why is it not taught?
Share it everywhere!!
Yeah, nah.
But Fructose isn't the sugar found in fruits??? that's mean fruits are bad or I'm getting it wrong???
@@kalilabn The fruits is natural sugar. It's not added sugar and nor is it processed. The fructose in those sugar bags, sweets, bread, etc isn't natural because you are added a process, i.e. adding sugar to food that doesn't need it but because you want to feel the endorphins and cause your taste buds trained, messed up you add it. I'd even say it's a drug because people are addicted to this processed sugar.
It’s a unbelievable heartbreaking crime to feed children so much sugar. With this knowledge schools nutrition has so much sugar which causes so many serious problems and issues…should be immediately stopped!!! Every parent world wide should get this knowledge or should know…
14:09 6-9tsp/day dietary sugar (~12 grams of fructose/day without metabolic derangement) (same as 12g of EtOH/day)
We should be 25g sugar (1/2 of which is fructose).
15:31 73% of processed foods have added sugars.
16:56 children can metabolize 4-6 g of sugar.
School breakfast give 41 grams sugar/day
This is SO densely packed with information.
The problem is schools, as well the military, nursing homes etc, have to follow the dietary guidelines which don’t focus on limiting sugar, only fat. Changing the guidelines is the only way to change this whole crazy system.
@@theskyehiker and encouraging whole, real food over highly processed, highly profitable (cheap to make) corporate food.
On social media I saw the daughter of a friend give her 7 month old donuts to lick the chocolate icing off of and ice cream…I was shocked. The mother herself is heavy. The child now 18 months and so many posts are that of places they take the child which, more often than not, include sugary foods. So sad, setting that child up for a lifetime of addiction and health issues.
When I heard his lecture on TH-cam for the first time I legit listened to this statement (dopamine vs serotonin) over 50 times. I was changed forever. I'm so glad u interviewed him.
I also listened over and over to that very concept.
Dear Steven, your interviews have made a bigger impact on my health than all the doctors I've met in my 56-year life. Thanks a million.
Right?!
1967 stand up 😊
Amazing! Great endorsement!
“Pleasure is dopamine, happiness is serotonin. Dopamine is an excitable neurotransmitter, which wants you to be tickled not bludgeoned. When it’s over stimulated neurons begin to die, such as in addiction, which anything triggers in the brain that is used in excess triggering of dopamine. But Serotonin cannot be overproduced and killed off….”
This! This right here!!! Explains so much!!
There are no conclusive studies proving this.
@@shannonsieber869 A study proves nothing but to experts who spend years understanding the subject matter. You choose to believe it if you're not in that category.
Most definitely.
@@shannonsieber869studied myself and yes it's correct
No literally they have NOT proven that neurotransmitters control this. It's still theory. Sorry. Repeating the same thing over and over doesn't make it fact.
This is one of the best most comprehensive videos on sugar and how the body deals with it. Cause/effect simplified. Wow-who is this guy and why isn’t he in front of more people!! Sharing this to everyone I know
Wow, that section about diet coke made me think twice about drinking diet coke/cola zero. The fact that it still triggers an insulin response should have been obvious, but i could never lay my finger on it.
As a newly qualified doctor, what’s interesting about medical school is we get taught the several underling mechanisms Dr Lustig is talking about (e.g. Gluconeogenesis, glycogenolysis, the role of insulin in growth etc) but its never pieced together in such a way that’s makes it now seem completely obvious to me how weight gain occurs. One day I hope his work and research wins him a Nobel prize
Lustig is a charlatan
@@EVanDoren how so?
@@EVanDorenanswer to your label, how so?
@@EVanDorenI’m sure you are 400 lbs of fat and no muscle eating all that sugar 🤮
❤❤❤❤@@EVanDoren
3 years ago I stumbled upon and listened to a talk by Dr Lustig on TH-cam… changed my life. I proceeded to listen to multiple talks and interviews over a few days.Now at 77 I feel better than I have in years-no meds, no issues . I immediately cut all sugar, ultra processed foods and alcohol. This was a full stop.. no messing around! I now consume a REAL food diet, relying on lots of protein and whole fruits and vegetables. I’m never hungry and feel so drastically different. This man is impeccable in his research and has been beating the drum against the “food” industry for years. I feel so lucky and blessed that I found and listened to him and changed my ways. Bless you, Dr Lustig!!
Awesome report!
I really like your satement: "I immediately cut all sugar, processed food [square / rectangular box foods] and alcohol". I have done the same. Now I never used to drink alcohol, but I had a sweet tooth. I have gotten so so much better, and have lost 16 kilogram...
@@davidsvarrer8942 hooray! Good for YOU!! It is impossible to give up processed food..(think chicken..it is processed to be sold at the store).. it is ULTRA PROCESSED that is demon food.. with stabilizers, thickening agents and multiple kinds of sugars, coloring etc. it is amazing how it never occurs to me to even LOOK at the garbage sold as “food” any more. I know, as you continue on your journey, you will find so many ways your health improves.
Congratulations on taking the steps to save you from the industry!
Thank you so much for this. When I go without sugar or carbs I become unbearable, irritable, even aggressive. I suffer from IBS, brain fog and irregular sleep patterns. Following this, I know that I need to break the habit and reclaim my health.
The same happened to me. I can promise you this.. after about a week, something flipped inside me. Once I got through that horrible flu like feeling, suddenly I felt better than I've ever felt. I doubt I'll ever put sugar in my body again. It's like poison
Good luck 👍🏽
I went cold turkey from sugar it took me about 5 days to feel OK and after about 10 days I couldn't bare anything sweet it made me feel sick. My whole taste buds feel brand new now. Everything tastes so much nicer. Give it a go you won't look back.
What is appalling is the quantity of highly risky bariatric surgeries being carried out in the uk on morbidly obese patients - and the doctors are still saying calories in calories out and exercise more - this strategy and advice has not worked - but nobody is looking at the alternative. If Keto is mentioned the answer is - it’s too restrictive, people won’t stick to it…. But it breaks the addiction. Something extremely fishy that no one is actively investigating keto and they are still advocating carbs - even for diabetes- it’s shocking 😡
It's not shocking it's money. Follow the money. No profit in healthy people.
Dr Lustig was one of the first I came across when I needed to fix my weight. I started listening to him whilst walking. It inspired me to stay away from sugar. I lost 70lb in 5 months.
Exactly, helped my 80 yr old Mom lose 100 lbs, obesity is a killer and sugar is the bullet.
How ?
Good for you,keep at it
Congratulations 🎉
Where do I find purfact(?) Or however you spell it, to get food that is good for me in particular?
Dr Robert Lustig needs to be give Nobel Price for his work . This is pure humanitarian work for entire world.
Thank you Steve and team another great episode.
totally
After watching this video, I plan to make major changes: no Candy, less refined carbs, more exercise, very few sodas, and eat only REAL food.
Robwrt Lustig. What a heroic, honorable, and brave man you are. I wish there were better ways to show appreciation. Unfortunate, a huge thank you is the best I can do. You're amazing!
The most influential Doctor in my diabetic remission (no meds now) & loss of 112lbs weight .
Well done! Starting myself 🤞
Good on you! ❤
Every parent should watch this video. I love Dr Lustig. I am 70. I have been addicted to sugar my entire life. I am Type 2 diabetic, have HTN, had colon cancer 9 years ago, hyperccholesterol, hyper thyroid and psoriatic arthritis.I will go weeks eating right, then one slip up and go back into the old habits. Immediately, I feel inflammation in hands and joints. Are there treatment centers for sugar addicts. I love how I feel when I am eating right but hate when I lose control.
Google "behavior contract example."
Hi. Have you been on on a keto diet? It is the easiest diet I ever went on. It means you can give yourself treats, like strawberries dipped in very dark chocolate and whipped cream.
You need never be hungry. Eventually, it will become a way of life.
The comment above mine is one way to address things. Another is to go full carnivore, eating fatty beef everyday kills all cravings , and in time carnivore changes the hunger signal, your brain gets the message to come out of survival mode.
some folks have difficulty with such a big change all at once, Howe for some it is necessary to stop the addiction.
Either way, you need to nourish the brain with quality animal fats and amino acids, and get a good mineral and electrolyte supplement like what keto chow has (don’t get any of their stuff with Splenda or sucralose in it). Doing these things will really help the PHYSIOLOGY of sugar addiction. It’s not just a willpower thing.
If you do check out the carnivore route, you can get support and coaching from the “steak and butter gang” .
You don’t have to do it forever, just do it long enough to heal and get your control back.

Carnivore way of eating crushed my sugar cravings! Loosing weight, have more energy, brain feels more clear.
Loving it!
Exactly. 1 week in I lost all sugar cravings. Most of all my health issues disappeared. And still disappearing. I was sad to hear him NOT mention carnivore and insist we need fiber. Bo we don’t. My diverticulitis disappeared and haven’t had an attack since I started eating this way. Since he believes in climate change he prob wants to kill most of the cows now. Thats sad. They are putting bug powder in many foods now.
Me too, as well as alcohol. No carbs or alcohol for 9 months.
Yessss i was looking for this comment!! 🎉❤
Alcohol kills parasites and reduces stress i.e. cortisol 🤔
I'm so glad he declared that Eskimo is no longer used it's Inuit. I really appreciated that.
How does that affect your life?
Even though I used IF, KETO, KETOVORE, FASTING, to lose 90 lbs and keep it off, and still a combo of all to stay fit, I keep watching these experts. Still so much more to learn and apply. I can't stop soaking up more knowledge. Love this topic!
isn't ketovore just the same thing as paleo?
@@ww1andww2history
There is surely someone who will disagree b/c so many of these diet routines have been given names. Many or similar.
In my opinion, and from what I see, Paleo allows for carb consumption b/c its central focus is not to eliminate carbs. Where as any version of keto is focused on minimal carb consumption as possible.
Ketovore diet fans, want to eat majority meat, fat and fiber. No carbs outside of that.
Traditional KETO allows for 10% or less of your daily intake to be carbs of any kind.
@@vSwampFox yes paleo is more carb heavy though I lost weight on it easy since it is healthy carbs and also i only ate until full no overeating
Imagine just eating a normal balanced diet
@@DethrowDestruction if you’re 50+ lbs overweight, eating a balance diet will offer little to no results. Calorie restriction, at a minimum, must be achieved.
If you’re healthy. Fit. Then yes, a balanced diet is all you need.
10 out of 10 …this was the sermon on the mount of nutrition …if this was taught in schools, universities and. reflected on in life we would have a different world 👏👏👏
Food industry would lobby so hard if schools attempted to teach proper nutrition
Perhaps 👍but probably futile..they would need three essential tools , Experts , Evidence and a degree of compassion……that package will be a long time coming🫡
Yes. For one, hospitals wouldn't be full of people with lifestyle-related ailments.
We’d also need to change voters’ public opinion to overcome the influence of lobbyists in America. Unfortunately we would need laws to keep the food industry in check, but half the US voters “don’t want the government telling us what we can and can’t buy”. The food industry has convinced us it’s a question of personal responsibility, which is partly true, but how true is it when not everyone has that information or are too addicted to sugar to change? And how does that affect our mental health and self-esteem when we are convinced it’s totally our own fault? 😖
@@MM-wj4dh At the end of the day, it truly is the responsibility of each one of us to learn enough to be able to make sound decisions on our own behalf.
It's not up to our government, or a failed medical system.
It is truly up to each one of us.
Robert is wonderful. Love how he’s called out the the farcical food industry and is suing them all. Fabulous‼️Global warming has undergone the same obfuscation. That’s the only thing Robert has missed but it’s not really his department. Great job Robert 👏👏👏
The cause is mainly wheat for me. I gave up wheat and my sugar started coming down. I read that the wheat we eat today is a genetically modified in the seventies. It seems that the health issues like diabetes and fatty liver have mushroomed since then.
I can't listen anymore. Everything in the world today is so corrupt.
Everything? I think this podcast shows us the many things/people that are not.
literally everything, right??!! it's so upsetting
I quit sugar after realizing how much control I had given to this substance. No control over my appetite, insatiably hungry and never satisfied, feeling perpetually bloated, inflamed, and constipated. I kid you not you guys it’s only be about 12 days of 0 added sugar and only low glycemic foods (although I will have potatoes & sourdough (not fried) after a veggie starter) I have lost 10 pounds, feel satiated with my meals (big focus on protein and veggies), feel energized, I have been SUPER regular, my skin is already glowing, and I don’t even crave sugar! Sweet things don’t even really look like real food anymore! I will indulge in watermelon, or make a Greek yogurt bowl with berries and almond butter and coconut flakes and it all tastes so SWEET with no added sugar at all! I am NEVER going back. After years of struggling with body image, disordered eating, and my relationship with food, I finally feel free! To anybody else out there struggling with these things, I promise there is a light on the other side of the tunnel, but so long as you consume added sugar and these high glycemic index and hyperpalatable foods, the proverbial shades will block out that light and keep you in a negative feedback loop. Never forget that a sick individual is the easiest person to be commodified, so there is literally every incentive in the world in a capitalistic society to keep you sick. My heart goes out to anybody struggling with this addiction, my agnostic self truly prays for everyone afflicted, and I’m grateful to this doctor for being courageous in the face of so many institutions who would be very eager to shut him up.
how did you get through any withdraw symptoms with no surgar?
Well said
@@UnovianPrincess well I did a 36 hour fast in the beginning which I think mitigated a lot of the withdrawal symptoms! Initially I also had a little bit of added sugar in like 85% dark chocolate etc. that maybe helped with the withdrawal? The cravings were really intense at first but I would just give myself an apple and some string cheese and almonds etc. until I just couldn’t eat anymore and that really helped!
@@Heyheywereallfriendshere thank you. I did keto and IF before for 2.5 weeks and I felt the best I’ve felt in years. But it didn’t last long because I went on vacation and people couldn’t stand that I didn’t want to eat absolute trash so I caved and have been on the keto wagon since. It is so hard for me to cut carbs. It’s like I get sick until I eat them every damn time I try to quit it
@@UnovianPrincess one thing I’m implementing for sustainability is a hard “not in my kitchen” policy when it comes to these types of foods. I will not buy any of these items, but occasionally I will have them with other people, and only a little! One thing that helps I’ve noticed too is not telling people 😂 people sort of, I’ve noticed, push you to consume these products to justify their own consumption, like when an alcoholic tells you they don’t want to drink alone. If it seems like you just don’t want it in that moment, it’s easier to sort of fly under the radar. Also not beating yourself up if you cave in at any point. Just start fresh the next meal/day! Nobody has to live in your body but you, the good feeling only gets better I promise you!
“Every personal responsibility issue becomes a public health crisis .” Damn!! That is so true!! 😳🤯 I knew shaming and blaming people was the absolute wrong approach but he nailed it with that statement.
This was the scariest and most significant video I've watched on TH-cam.
I am not trying to lose weight, but do I looove listening to this man! He made me want to be healthy, regardless of how my body looks. Thank you for bringing him back!
surely not only about weight!! its a health issue, so many ppl think to diet for the way you look , even if your're not overweight you can have multiple health issues or potential ones for eating rubbish
Insulin resistance starts LONG before it becomes a crisis. Knowing this information can help every one from learning the hard way.
The doctor listed numerous problems not just being fat.
My mother was a dentist and told me 50 years ago to eat properly and no sugar. Denmark has by law reduced a lot of the issues talked about. But we can all reduce salt, sugar, chemicals and bad fats in our daily lives ❤️
La sal es necesaria. Sodio, magnesio y potasio, es el equilibrio de los electrolitos.
I wish this doctor could research and come up with an effective medicine to lose weight safely.
@@peggywilliams2461 Dr Anthony Chaffee Channel.
I’ve known most of my life that sugar is not good. My grandmother and my mother were both insulin diabetics and obese. A good read is the history of sugar in National Geographic. When sugar was first discovered it was very expensive and the rich were obese with rotten teeth. Today it’s what the poor or the ones who choose to eat sugar, suffer from obesity and tooth decay.
I wasn’t prepared for how all of this came together at the end with the amygdala, and relating personal and planetary health. And I also appreciated the nugget about the courage to be disliked. Stephen, great interview with so much value. Your questions are the best.
I done a sugar free challenge for two months and I felt amazing. My head was clear I had so much energy and my body felt so light.
Yeah, I had none January-April 2 weeks in and you start to feel MUCH happier ... I'm back on the wagon after watching this!!!🤪
It was Keto for me, the only diet that ever actually worked for me.
I sure miss feeling like that... TY for the inspiration
Why did eat sugar again then? Addicted much
@@adventureexe6032 sugar is in so many foods even smoked salmon 😮 I didn’t eat any artificial sweeteners either just natural sugar that is in food. It is difficult to sustain and yes there was an element of missing eating a Mc Donald’s or a piece of cake 😁 I’ve decided now to significantly reduce my sugar intake as it does help with energy, sleep and feeling more alert.
Sadly in many countries, including South Africa; baby formula, cereal and baby food contain sugar. Addiction to sugar begins from such a young age. Children are not able to make decisions and parents a unaware of what their children are consuming inadvertently.
And there’s talk that companies shipped formula banned in US and EU to developing nations with lower/fewer regulations.
Corporate malfeasance is imo what’s unpinning much of society…from food industry, media industry.
We seem to be woefully lacking in accountability…it’s IBG YBG
And yet we trust government when violating the Nuremberg Code.
Maize as well is pure glucose.. and some people in developing countries eat it for breakfast, lunch and supper
@bevjan yeah I am from the Caribbean and we eat that as porridge. Not everyday though.oh and we add sugar to it. Imma stop it though
I love and respect Dr Lustig! I watch him everytime he shows up on TH-cam. Today he empowered me to take positive self care action by ordering my food thru direct marketing and online with companies that I align with ! I’m single, this is almost a no brainer..when my amygdala cries out and I go into zombie mode I end up in the grocery store that I can’t seem to resist. I’m going to short circuit that event by not going into the grocery stores! Somehow I’ve had opinions about that but this is certainly worth a trial run! Cheers
Free will is not choosing what you desire but rather choosing what you actually do regardless of desire. And we absolutely have that choice. As we choose healthy choices regardless of desire, our desires actually change as well. Not 100 percent. But drastically.
There’s so much gold in this episode. “You are allowed to do what you want, but you are not allowed to want what you want” blew me away.
Man does what he wills but cannot will what he wills, aint no allowed about it
@@2o3iefu r lost, mate?
@@andrew6658 what's the question?
@@2o3iefthanks Schopenhauer 😂
Great episode, thank you! Shared with friends. ..I only wrote this simple comment yesterday but I feel much more than the sentence allows to reflect. so here is my update: I am blown away. both by the professor and by the podcast (asking the right questions, the right time, and making relevant comments while letting the guest speaker fill the airtime is really hard especially in such a complex topic, so well done on this point). It was educating and logical, and indeed, heart warming. I had to rewind a couple of times to understand and memorize but it was worth it. I will surely watch it again 💗
I have listen to Dr Lustig for at least nine years. I am so proud of us. He has shrink and so have I . Both of us are svelte. Thank…. Not a hypocrite.
When I was in grad school, I was mostly eating very healthy, I was barely drinking any alcohol or eating sugar. I had a candy dish in my office for my students who came to my office hours. Some days I would eat the candy and noticed a direct correlation with getting bad sleep that night and feeling like crap the next day. It made me stop eating the candy altogether
I cleared out our pantry while listening to this podcast and I am never going back to processed food again. My autistic son is already showing signs of withdrawal because I told him he cannot have dessert anymore. I know it's gonna be a hard road ahead but I think something in me shifted after listening to you two talk. Thank you. Your new loyal subscriber.
Watch Dr Chaffee on high carnitine diet for Autism
Good Luck, you are very brave, especially with autistic son, who doesnt necessarily understand all this.
Come back and let us know how it is going
Why don't you find some foods that you can have as healthy desserts?
Make creme brulee with allulose or egg pudding. Scramble eggs, put in blender with a little coconut milk or creme...add a zero calorie sweetener...vanilla...
blend...
refridgerate. Delish.
You can find great sugar free dessert recipes online 🥰❤
We traded happiness for pleasure. Happiness is long term, pleasure is short term.
That last question was powerful. It takes courage to be disliked and you do not have to please everyone.
Indeed. I completely I identify with mr. Lustig's answer to the last question. Wish I had known in my early twenties.
haha, some of us learned that during covid!!
@@ssp4795 agreed, I didn’t get the jab.
"There is no weight gain without insulin". What a tremendously simple statement!
Absolutely . My 12 year old is gaining weight as he has diabetic lows caused by too much insulin. We know the key is to dial in his insulin better. Easier said than done though!
But there’s weight gain from too much cortisol in the body and high stress not all weight gain is from food
Yes, this is based on Ben Bickman's research - he studies fat in his lab.
There's also no weight gain without food... you guys who are so stuck on insulin you all missed very simply biology. CALORIES in vs CALORIES OUT.
@@sarahd7716 False. Too much cortisol in your body does not give you extra calories to gain weight. You can have all the corisol in the world, but if you eat NOTHING, you will not have the Calories (Energy) nor nutrients needed to build Tissue... that includes Fat Tissue.
Any and ALL weight gain is from food... the stuff that gives you nutrients/energy. You don't just magically create Fat (Tissue) out of nothing. For F'sake people, read a basic Biology book.
I paused this video and literally poured away all the sugar in the house down the sink.
Well done🎉
Awesome! 👏👏👏
You: “I threw away all the sugar in my house”
Sugar: “😂😂😂😂😒You’ll be back”
I just poured a sweet tea to listen to this.. I may try a sugar substitute
Same!!
Love this episode. My mom and mother in law were borderline diabetic and told by doctors they would need to get on meds. They relentlessly cut sugar and amped up exercise and have had normal blood sugar levels for over a decade now.
Dr. Lustig has made an impact on me in how I practice in central Louisiana. I am indebted to that man.
"Sugar is like alcohol". I have said this for years. Sadly, I still struggle with both even though I am perceived as healthy. Dr. Lustig is amazing, and so are you! Thank you for another amazing podcast!
You are not alone 😅
I struggle with neither. Take it a step at a time
Completely agree. As someone who has cut out all sugar and alcohol, I can only advise you simply completely stop. It's the only thing that worked for me: not oh, I'll cut down slowly, or start tomorrow, you decide now.
Keep listening. Repeat constantly. We can train our brain. It may take time but keep the info filling your thoughts. Don’t give up
@@PaulSimonMcCarthy-fu6ms I’m starting to think this is the only way I can get healthy. People think I you have to make gradual changes to be able to stick to them, but since I believe I am actually addicted to sugar, I think I need to treat it like any other addiction and just cut it out altogether.
I have recently been able to get off of all my insulin with intermittent fasting and a low carb lifestyle. This was one of my favorite episodes! There's so much good information provided.
Forgive me for asking, but are you type 1? My brother is T1D and I'm desperate to find a way to fix him.
@@amandabuschT1D does not produce insulin so he will need insulin for life, unless someone came out with the cure.
I’m a 28 year old autistic woman and I struggle with binge eating. I started cutting sugar out completely and within 3 days my cravings disappeared. I haven’t binged since I stopped eating sugar and I don’t feel hungry all the time
I have never commented on any video before....this is life changing and I am grateful.
Rob is literally a brilliant mind, there's so many UTTER clowns on youtube but Robert Lustig is NOT one.
A 20 year eating disorder I couldn’t escape, this man has helped me understand what food really is, why we need what we need and why we should stay away from sugar!
Thank you sir ❤
You have given me hope, I am a sugar addict. I didn’t even know it was possible until I heard him explain the process. At 62 the damage sugar has done to my body is sickening. Thanks for sharing.
This is the kind of person we need in government dept the over look the food and health depts!!
This was great education for me. I lost my mom to T2D 12 years ago, and I was a child (in the '70's) who had ADHD. No one knew then that the sugar and carbs was the cause. Thank you Dr. Lustig.
Absolutely love how Steven conducts these interviews. He always asks the right questions, the ones I usually have on my mind right before he voices them. . I’m growing very fond of this channel. Even better in my headphones in the morning during my urban hikes.
And he does not interrupt ❤
Actually he does, but with the right questions and they're not annoying, they are relevant plus Steven has a natural charm, he's very handsome and wellspoken so when he speaks and asks a relevant question, it's a pleasure to hear.
He does do a very good job
I agree, the interviewer is rare because he actually follows the narrative and isn’t just waiting to interrupt with scripted questions that don’t pertain to what has been stated. He isn’t making the interview about himself, or making inane comments just to hear himself talk. Quite refreshing.
Yes, I'm a teacher and he is 💯% correct. The school food is nothing but SUGAR.
It prevents us from collecting pensions, as does all the aluminum particles being sprayed on us.
Retired teacher here.Students in my school received free breakfast and lunch. Only healthy food was various fruits and a side of vegetables at lunch that most of the kids wouldn't eat.Almost all of the food was pre packaged, highly processed and high in sugar.
@@anneflynn9614breakfast is not free, "we" pay taxes. And if they don't eat, they're not hungry. Schools need to do better with the food they serve our children, I agree.
I get stuff from my kids school every week.
Hotdogs Wednesday, donut Friday, ice creams monthly. It's just always garbage food and they want you to pay more, more, more!
Pepsi used to incentivize putting soda machines in schools by giving rebate checks to the school for their sales. Not sure if they still do it.
I don't eat sugar or refined carbohidrates!!! I eat vegetables, greens, eggs, salmon, some nuts and sesds, I esat good calories and count them more or less, but still have a problem of being chubing chubby!!!!! I sleep well, about 8hrs a day.
The book the Glucose Revolution is an eye opening read....as is the book Ultra Processed people... after reading I have changed my eating habits considerably... I'm eating whole foods and reduced sugar intake considerably.
One of the most valuable videos on TH-cam. Everyone needs to see this.
I didn't use to eat breakfast and I always had energy, but when I retired I started to eat porridge and berries in the morning. Result was that I felt tired and hungry all day, and slept for a couple of hours in the afternoon. I decided to skip breakfast and my energy came back, which seems to bear out the theory!
Wow!
Same with me. I was slim, no allergies and healthy until I got a personal trainer who told me to eat a lot more and breakfast. Since then I’ve struggled with allergies and gut issues.
@@JulieLloyd-if9rr at least we know why now!
Then there’s me: if I skip breakfast, I’m lightheaded until I eat something. Even if it’s an apple and a little peanut butter, that’ll take care of me until mid afternoon or so
@@May-qb3vx It just shows that we all need to listen to our bodies!
So glad you asked about knowing and still struggling with keeping g sugar under 25g a day for me as an adult woman.
Reading Dr. Lustig's book 'Metabolical' now. Amazing. Wish I knew all I know 30 years ago.
Dr Lustig has changed my life. 3 months of No added sugar - feels like I’m going through my own rebirth!! ❤ and no sugar cravings (I eat 1-2 pieces of fruit 1-2 per month and don’t feel any need to eat them more often)
His books 📚 are 💎!! 🙌❤️
Which is your favorite book? Thank you.
How are his books helpful?
@@lauramonahan9343the first that blew my mind was ‘Fat Chance The bitter truth about sugar’ - after reading this first book and watching his videos I got rid of all junk food from my cupboards, I’ve also read Glucose Revolution, Ultra Processed people, obesity code and mark hymans books and Michael’s Mosley recipe books. Metabolical is the next great book by Dr Lustig, I wish all doctors would read it!!!
I know I’m at the point of no return and in love with clean eating 🥰 ❤
@@ceeez3072he talks about things that are not advertised and why we need to stick to the way we were created by the universe/god and lean towards gods made foods rather than man made foods. Because food is our medicine with both the power to harm and heal. And of course it’s entirely up to us what we believe - McDonald’s ads with their amazing meal deals or fat free no added sugar stuff or we choose natural foods… food is not just carbs, proteins, fats it’s also consists of medicinal compounds embedded in animal foods or plants 🌱
Best interview ever! I only came for weight loss tips, but as a bonus, I received advice on how to live a good, happy life.
YES!
The grocery store is a minefield , as soon as you’ve walked in you have lost!! 🤯. 78% of the grocery store items has added sugar.
Eat real food that comes from a ground or a mother. Grocery shop on line only or only buy food from the perimeter of the grocery store. Great advice!
I've been watching your channel sporadically for the past 6 or so months and I quite frankly admit, haven't pressed that subscribed button yet. This one, wow. Subscribed.
Such a brilliant eye opening discussion. I liked the way Dr. Lustig answered the question refering to the possibility of his and others work being discredited in 10 yrs time. Loved every minute of this! 👏
I have watched numerous documentaries with Professor Lustig. Absolutely agree with him 100%!
Great Job, Steve and Robert! VERY important concepts conveyed in a very straightforward and easily accessible way. You cannot listen to this interview without having your general health perspective profoundly changed (whether you are overweight or not.) As another viewer says below, this podcast should be urgently required viewing for all, not just health professionals, policy-makers, and parents.
Thank you so much for sharing, so glad you enjoyed the episode! 🙏
@@TheDiaryOfACEO Have an issue with my phone and had to watch the introduction again, seen retrospectively the attempt to dramaticise merely trivialises the profound and fundamental importance of the information contained herein. I can also recomend John Yudkin's: 'Pure White And Deadly' for which the good professor wrote the 2012 editions foreword. Thank you and good luck. X
This is the most insightful episode i have ever watch in the podcast ! So much of information packed in 1 and half hr podcast. Hats off 🙏🏼🙏🏼🙏🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼🙌🏼
This doctor is trulybsaving lives. Great interview!
FDA is not doing their job...
well actually, they are, just ask who they are working for....
I loved this fantastic interview ❤️! My mother reversed her Type II diabetes with a whole food ketogenic diet and is now healing more and losing weight on a Carnivore diet. She had a fatty liver and was on medicine for reflux, metformin, and blood pressure. She no longer needs those medications!
Please have Dr. Ken Berry, on your show!
Never gonna happen. 🙅♀️ Steven is an ambassador for Zoe, the gut microbiome research company - they’re all about the importance of fibre. The carnivore diet is the complete opposite to that. I get it that morbidly obese people can lose weight and reverse their diabetes on keto and carnivore and therefore improve their overall health, but it’s not a long term solution. You have to feed your gut microbiome and you can only do that with plants. Dr Berry is about bacon!
@ZsuzsaKarolySmith OK, thank you for explaining his biases. It's apparent that you know nothing about the proper human diet if you think Dr. Ken Berry is ALL about bacon. 😆 I challenge anyone to read the comments and testimonials on Dr. Berry's channel. People do your own research and don't knock it until you've tried it. I don't miss the acid reflux(GERD), gas, bloating, etc. that a fiber rich diet gave me.
carnivore would not be good though since there is no fiber so she will kill her good gut bacteria, would be better ketovore
One of the best interviews I have watched...absolutely eye-opening!
THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS INFORMATION 🙏
So glad you found the episode helpful! 🙏
I have followed Dr. Lustig for many years. What an excellent speaker. What a beautiful heart. ❤️
I’ve struggled with sugar addiction & binge eating since I was 10yrs old - I’ve only recently (thanks to this podcast) been able to do a deep dive into the intersections between my brain chemistry + mental health diagnoses + relationship with food.
All that complex work has been life changing and since Feb 2024, I’ve consumed so much less sugar than ever before. I spend more time thinking about the needs of my micro biome & figuring out what I need to do to help the little guys than eating sugar.
The experts that have come on this show & shared their research have empowered me so much & I am just so excited to learn more about food and how to consume it better.
I just want to love my micro biome and give it the goodies it needs to thrive
Do 2 weeks of strict carnivore.
Zero carbs. Just read the back of the pack.
Steak & butter works. Dr Ken Berry or Dr Chaffe are good.
Incredible important information! Why isn’t this guy on tv every day educating families ❤thank you so much
There was a movie made in 2014 called That Sugar Film - it was a massive eye-opener for me in terms of sugar and it's sad to see that nearly 10 years later, not much has changed in the food industry. Thankyou so much for such an informative interview.
I kid you not today I was thinking about how nice it would be to get Robert Lustig on this and now I just looked into my notifs and BOOM! ya did it haha
Good job on the manifesting!
Google algorithm is working everywhere now...
