Can we talk about the VISUALS in this video?? All of the little clips of candy, sugar, smoothies, fruit, and baked goods 😍 Such a visually appealing video, and with so much good information! I am a dietetic student right now, and this compliments my studies so well :)
@@mikeskylark1594 I agree - at least from what I have managed to find out. Even then - it's best to use as little of these as possible and stick to fruits, vegetables and whole foods, but if you must - date sugar/syrup, molasses and erithritol (as well as Monk fruit) are your best substitutes.
Yes! My dad used to tell me growing up 'bananas are an always snack" whereas "chocolate is a sometimes snack" and it was much more helpful than the good vs bad.
What I love most about Sadia's approach to food is that she doesn't impose her views on anyone. She's always quick to suggest alternatives. She doesn't criticize other food lifestyle and habits. I'm a hardcore non vegetarian but I find her videos and recipes just as informative as anyone else and love how she makes knowledge look so easy to grasp and digest. Kudos to you Sadia. You're doing a fabulous job. Keep it up!
That’s a good idea I have sooo many questions about salt. I always thought it was bad but recently I heard some physian say that they’re actually good, but that there is also a difference between seasalt, reagular kitchen salt and himalayan salt. Whhaaaaa I am confused🥴
the way you teach, it truly makes me wanna listen and follow... and im a rebel. you have a unique way of being suggestive but not forceful. its like you showing how great life can be but youre not being aggressive about it all. i love it. youre like a peaceful guiding spirit there when we need you but totally fine with us keeping to ourselves. idk how you do it, but you do it well. x
Wow, that was so in-depth. My husband has diabetes, and at first, we were really strict, but slowly we both started giving in to sugar cravings. I feel like it's easier now with the guidance of your videos to start making homemade foods for those sweet craving moments! Thank you!
What about honey, I always thought that honey it's just like agave and other types of natural sweeteners, because our body process it the same way, even though honey tends to have much more health benefits than the others, I don't know. What do you think?
You’re right. Honey is a medicine for our tummy/body. I always add black seeds and fenugreek seeds in my daily diet along with honey. The health benefits of those seeds are endless! These 3 are essential natural medicine for our body and eliminates many diseases that lot of people can’t get cured with medicines made of chemicals.
I personally try to cut added sugar out of my diet although its hard because sugar is addictive. I originally started that because of my acne but i realized that when i eat sugar my sleep gets worse, my blood circulation is bad, i get acne as well as dandruff and i feel super depressed.
Same thing here! It's already a year and a few months now for me that I realized what sugar AND dairy do to my body, so it's a constant battle with what I crave and what I can eat to look and feel good. And on top of that most of my family members don't believe or don't want to understand that, so they are constantly criticizing my "diet" but I just try to shrug it off and keep going.
@@ilikerainydays1500 The cravings are soo bad. Once you are a few weeks sugar and dairy free its not that bad but its hard to get there. Sometimes i remember what things used to taste like eg. oreos but if i try them its disgustingly sweet because my tastebuds have changed. But the good thing is that if i feel depressed afterwards i at least know that im not ugly or dumb or that nobody loves me but that my hormones are messed up.
OMG thank you sooooo much for sharing the bloopers!!!! This is my #1 challenge as a creator and non-native speaker. I literally repeat the same paragraph like 20 times until I get it right and I always wonder how the heck others get it done. Seems like the exact same way as me, lol
Finding your channel has inspired me in so many ways. From the peaceful aesthetics of your apartment, to the lovely way you dress, to how nourishing the food you make - I'm so incredibly glad I stumbled here. Seriously you are the most "#goals" channel I have ever found.
This was a really good video. I think the more stuff we make at home, the better. I admire how much care and time you put into your food. I'm not at that level yet but I am trying to do better. Thanks Sadia.
This is great and so true! I'm hypoglycaemic so I've always been very reactive to sugar and have always had to add fat or fibre to my carbs in order to avoid a crash, including fruit, and it really makes such a difference. I also find that the worst time to eat anything with sugar is the morning, because your stomach is empty.
Great information Sadia. As someone who was once diagnosed as diabetic - and reversed it quite quickly by completely cutting out that cola everyone knows - I can confirm that after a short initial withdrawal period you no longer crave sugar, and yes your taste buds do adjust really quickly when excess sugar is out of your life. The way you detect sugar is completely recalibrated. For example, bread now tasted sweet and I could taste the natural sugar in milk back when I was drinking it. And thank you for talking about how the body processes all added sugars the same - the 'health food' industry makes me crazy in how they try to trick people with wording like 'naturally sweetened with agave syrup' for example. Some 'natural sugars' actually have more sugar than refined does, per gram. So yes, educating yourself can make a massive difference in your health.
I love I love I loooove the way you explain things! You break down complicate subjects and make them digestible for newbies.. thank you, Sadia! Much love from Italy !
I really really appreciate your take of not demonizing foods, and instead talking about topics like sugar with an open mind. I live in the States, so finding affordable foods that don't have sugar sneaked in is nearly impossible. And common dietitians in the US are very quick to put down sugar, and those who eat it, when a lot of people don't have much of a choice especially if they are food or financially insecure. I usually don't follow content by those who create videos/articles on certain foods or nutrients because of that, but I'm very glad to have found this channel and your website because I can learn about the foods I eat in a much more positive light. Additionally, I appreciate that you provide affordable recipes and alternatives with the awareness that some things may or may not be available to everyone. I didn't plan on typing something this long, but thank you!
I am so thankful I stumbled across your channel and blog this month! Every time I watch one of your videos, I not only feel inspired to live a fulfilling and healthy lifestyle, but put it into practice! Plus, your cauliflower lentil curry was a massive hit at my potluck! Keep up the great work, Sadia!
this channel changed my life and my diet completely. Thank you so much Sadia for your time and for all this information and research that you have done.
Another great and super helpful PUL video. Thanks for making this one. Your "more often/less often" as opposed to "good/bad" food labeling is brilliant. More, more, more.
sat down at my desk with my morning coffee and got this notification and immediately clicked it (there goes my procrastination)!! thank you for spending my morning coffee with me Sadia 😇 It is apparent that you put so much time into your work, keep shining on girl ✨
There's been some research that high speed blending actually breaks down the fiber lattice in fruits and veggies. This causes a quick spike in blood sugar, similar to, but not as bad as juices.
I was looking through the comments to see if anyone pointed this out. A bit disappointed that so far I only found this comment and no reply. I am really curious about this :(
Thank you so much sadia for dealing with topic like these in the most suitable ways. I remember that after watching your content, i have almost stopped eating sugar. Nonetheless i have my craving days where i treat myself but don't overindulge. Your philosophy of not being hard on yourself have made me stick to be being healthy mostly. lots of love.
i like this video out of two reasons: first best summary on the topic of sugars second inspriation on how to label stuff, the chalkboard stickers I mean... I have a spice rack with 36 spice containers where I turn the little window they have to the wall (light protection) but this way they need labels that are changeable... the bloopers make the vid even more authentic...
My goals: being like you!!! Inspiring people, being peaceful and happy. (And of course, cooking delicious and plant based dishes!) You're such an example ❤️ Thank you.
Thank you, concise and clear so easy to remember. Your recipes are excellent and for those of us brought up using butter, sugar and lots of white flour and red meat youve shown us a life-saving new way of eating. Im almost 60, very over-weight and riddled with arthritis. I believe that what Im learning from your videos is going to make my next 30 yrs really worth living. So glad you didnt become a doctor, you reach so many more people this way, and Sadia, you are doing more good for my life and body than any doctor Ive seen. Keep up the good work. A fellow Canadian from up north.
Thank you so much for another super informative and beautiful video and I just loved the bloopers 😂 You're still amazing, but it makes you seem a little more human and less of a fairy, I love your channel so much 💚💚
Eating too much added sugar can have many negative health effects. An excess of sweetened foods and beverages can lead to weight gain, blood sugar problems and an increased risk of heart disease, among other dangerous conditions. For these reasons, added sugar should be kept to a minimum whenever possible, which is easy when you follow a healthy diet based on whole foods.
Number 10: Time - It really is true. I used to crave sweet snacks a lot, but since I decreased my sugar intake and switched to mostly natural, unprocessed sugar sources, I slowly stopped wanting sugary snacks at all. I usually could just go for an apple. Last weekend, when I accepted a glass of cola from my mother-in-law, the taste of it made me sick. When you give your body what it needs an time to adjust, a healthy diet will become second nature.
I gave up regular sugar (coconut too) 7 mos ago. When I do use a sweetener as she said it is in the form of fruit, sometimes maple syrup and I have come to like dates. Use them in many ways sweet and savory as they have health benefits too. It can be done! Gave up alcohol too since that is a form of sugar. Lost 30 lbs. 60 yrs old. This information is amazing.
Lol lol love the bloopers lol Sadia I've been watching you for a few months now and am truly enjoying all your video's. I appreciate how you explain things in a way that is simple and understandable. You "Pick Up Limes" has been an incorporated part of my Holistic health Journey. So thank you for sharing all that you have learned. I just wanted to take the time to tell you thank you for educating so many of us through your video's. I have signup for the Healthy Meal Plan website and love it already. Many blessings to you and the team at Pick Up Limes :-)
"Often and less often" is such a great and non-pressure way to put it. That is also the way I see it. I actually learned that lesson about 15 years ago from my gold hamster who would happily chew up a piece of chocolate (it was diagnosed with cancer and wasn't supposed to live much longer) and after that would crunch a walnut or indulge in a piece of apple without refusing the "good but boring" food after the "bad but yummy" chocolate. I was deeply impressed then and thought my pet has really taught me a lesson. And now you, Sadia, put it into a real fact based perspective. Thank you. I would like to add that when my almost six year old daughter prepares teatime for us she places sliced up fruit (banana, apple, pear and orange) along with little pieces of chocolate and nuts in the same big Teezeit (we are Frisians) plate. It's all there to be eaten, cherished and enjoyed. :-) Thank you so much again, Sadia, for the question of "Does this nurture me?" Best advice for me in the last couple of years! :-D
I have decided to go on a 30 day no sugar. Would you suggest I give up sweet potato, beets, bananas, oranges. Things like that. I would love your perspective. Your recipes always look so amazing
You are so inspiring and as a student in dietetics, i am learning so much from you. I absolutely love the “enjoy more/less often” than “good/bad”! Its so important to have that healthy relationship with food.
Loved the bloopers! 😅 I love the philosophy of more often vs. less often. I've been trying to stay away from labeling things as good or bad, healthy or unhealthy. What a great concept! Request: I'd love to see your take on vegan, low FODMAP recipes. It can be difficult to find tasty low FODMAP recipes, and near impossible to find vegan ones.
I love your videos ! 5 years ago I lost 86 lbs and have kept it off . I have learned that when I first cut out refined sugars nothing tasted sweet enough even fruit but after a few weeks I was surprised how different food tasted to me ! It was like everything tasted different and amazing . If I do have a treat now it isn't as great as I remember it .
OK... So this just popped in my recommendations as I was debating myself to break my 3 month sugar free challenge and I think this is a sign for me to continue.. Thanks 💖 💖
I don't think that's what she's aiming for, she even saysin the video not to label foods as good or bad but often and less often, and like she says there are natural complex sugars and simple sugars
I love your channel. I'm trying to get much healthier and I have quit most sugar and cut my carbs way down. I do feel better, and more able. I've got a long way to go but I'm encouraged by all I'm learning and how I'm learning to enjoy good whole foods without feeling too deprived.
I don't know why this video doesn't have a zillion views. So many people obsess about sugar and this is a really really good source on this topic Love your videos!
Sadia this video is perfect ! you explained the whole topic in a simple yet super organized and neat way & i loved iit ! also the visuals and the way you decorate and shoot your dishes is admirable *_* loved the bloopers at the end you're so precious xD
It's still uncanny to me how your videos ALWAYS flow right along with what I'm dealing with in life. The last couple of weeks I've been brainstorming ways to cut more processed sugar sources in my diet. Great information!
Hi!!! My experience with sugar is that all starts from the morning routine and the coffee preference! If you have a low sugar breakfast then you can keep sugar levels lower the rest of the day! Also if you end up drinking your coffee without sugar you can start feeling kind of sugar free- when a sweet coffee is too much for you.
Loved the bloopers. Got a new TH-cam channel, but I always think, when I’m famous like Sadia, I will share them! Bloopers are so annoying, but when shared, hilarious !!
O M G Thank you for breaking it down with the details It took me a while to figure out where to begin on my healthy lifestyle change with nutrition. I stopped consuming sugar for one day and was amazed at how much sugar were in foods I didn’t realize. Once I conquered that area I seen my weight begin to melt off. Then my next steps were carbs and last dairy. I have slowly introduced food groups back into my diet which gave me insight on how my body reacted to the nutrition I consumed. First step is no sugar for a day. Thanks again for sharing such valuable information
This is the first video I watch on this topic which actually makes me want to reduce my sugar consumption! Not to mention the visuals... Who wouldn't want to eat healthier after that ? Thank you so much!
It is nice to see such a professional and informative video on You Tube. I watch a lot of them and your videos are at the top of the list, clear, concise, and informative.
So funny the bloopers at the end! Unexpected, haha! Thanks for your great videos. So inspiring! I'm wondering how you would sound if you speak Dutch ;-)
I think i like the fact that Sadia's videos are so well scripted and articulated and filmed that bloopers will only spoil the beauty of the video! However, it is always fun to watch them...
I’m a 19 year old guy and I just had a huge surgery done on my upper body which restrained me from working out for 1,5 month. I’m currently working on figuring out my diet and getting back into training. But I want to do it ‘the healthy way’. The fact that there are SO MANY different diets out there stresses me out. Your videos make me feel relaxed and positive about my body and my accomplishments 😌 ty!
Artificial sweeteners give me massive migraines. That’s enough for me to never ever eat those chemicals. My body knows what to do with natural sugar, and everything healthy in moderation is the key
Oh Sadia, I so appreciate you sharing the bloopers at the end! I am a new TH-camr and I find it so hard to talk sometimes. There are some people who can do an entire 30 minute video of them just talking without any cuts and I just don't know how they do it! It eases my mind knowing that you have to edit a lot too!🌺😃
Watching this video has made me realise how much I've reduced my sugar intake in the past two years! I used to eat/drink a lot of sugar, and I started to gradually make healthier choices. At first I still had a lot of sugar cravings, but they started to go away. I wish I had seen this video back then, it summarises really well what I slowly learned on my own.
Its 11.30 Pm in india. And I am watching this video to have pleasant night. Thank you Sadia. Your videos are like soft chill breeze on a sunny day. Please keep up the good work dear. P.S. I subscribed to your channel when you were @15k subs. So good to see how you have grown so beautifully. Best wishes all the way from India.
Hi Sadia - I've been veggie all my adult life, and I stopped eating/drinking dairy at Xmas. Now I eat much less chocolate, cake, biscuits etc as they often have milk or butter in them, plus I have to be gluten free anyway, so getting gluten free, vegetarian, dairy free is quite hard! - since I started this, I have consumed so much less sugar. I allowed myself a piece of cake (gf, but not df) the other day and was amazed at how awfully sweet it was, and how little I liked it! I'm liking this new way of eating :)
I’ve been cutting out sugars for a month, and following a low FODmap diet. Very hard, and just had a flare up yesterday. A fresh take on FODmaps would be great too! Love your videos!
You are amazing. Thank you for this well-organized summary of sugars and why they aren't all evil. Your unbiased approach is definitely refreshing (not just for this subject!), and I'll be sharing this with a few of my friends. I am alarmed by the extremes people go to with their diets nowadays!

Hey Em
What about the bacon?
"not as good or bad but as often or more often" the best advice on food i've ever heard
More often and less often
You are sweet! But not to be substituted!
Hehe that was cute, love the puns, Yulia :P
Agreed
True. But you can substitute white sugar for date sugar/syrup, erithritol or molases.
The only HEALTHY sweeteners on the planet!

Iris Cupido definitely 😊

"Often and less often" is such a great and non-pressure way to put it. That is also the way I see it. I actually learned that lesson about 15 years ago from my gold hamster who would happily chew up a piece of chocolate (it was diagnosed with cancer and wasn't supposed to live much longer) and after that would crunch a walnut or indulge in a piece of apple without refusing the "good but boring" food after the "bad but yummy" chocolate. I was deeply impressed then and thought my pet has really taught me a lesson. And now you, Sadia, put it into a real fact based perspective. Thank you.
I would like to add that when my almost six year old daughter prepares teatime for us she places sliced up fruit (banana, apple, pear and orange) along with little pieces of chocolate and nuts in the same big Teezeit (we are Frisians) plate. It's all there to be eaten, cherished and enjoyed. :-)
Thank you so much again, Sadia, for the question of "Does this nurture me?" Best advice for me in the last couple of years! :-D
Sadia, these tips at the end are so comprehensive and helpful!
I have decided to go on a 30 day no sugar. Would you suggest I give up sweet potato, beets, bananas, oranges. Things like that. I would love your perspective. Your recipes always look so amazing
Girl from 100k subscribers when I first found your channel to 1.3 million!! Wow congrats you star xx
You are so inspiring and as a student in dietetics, i am learning so much from you. I absolutely love the “enjoy more/less often” than “good/bad”! Its so important to have that healthy relationship with food.
Loved the bloopers! 😅 I love the philosophy of more often vs. less often. I've been trying to stay away from labeling things as good or bad, healthy or unhealthy. What a great concept!
Request: I'd love to see your take on vegan, low FODMAP recipes. It can be difficult to find tasty low FODMAP recipes, and near impossible to find vegan ones.
I love your videos !
5 years ago I lost 86 lbs and have kept it off .
I have learned that when I first cut out refined sugars nothing tasted sweet enough even fruit but after a few weeks I was surprised how different food tasted to me !
It was like everything tasted different and amazing .
If I do have a treat now it isn't as great as I remember it .
OK... So this just popped in my recommendations as I was debating myself to break my 3 month sugar free challenge and I think this is a sign for me to continue.. Thanks 💖 💖
I don't think that's what she's aiming for, she even saysin the video not to label foods as good or bad but often and less often, and like she says there are natural complex sugars and simple sugars
I love your channel. I'm trying to get much healthier and I have quit most sugar and cut my carbs way down. I do feel better, and more able. I've got a long way to go but I'm encouraged by all I'm learning and how I'm learning to enjoy good whole foods without feeling too deprived.
Thanks Sadia! I really needed this video because my sugar intake was getting out of hand!
Your voice in this video is like the first ones. It is natural again. Happy to hear it again. I also was waiting for this video. Thank you Sadia
So professional yet so genuine
I don't know why this video doesn't have a zillion views. So many people obsess about sugar and this is a really really good source on this topic
Love your videos!
What a wonderful way of conveying information..kuddos Sadia..very informative..very helpful
Bloopers are the insights that breaks the myth of infallibility. Awesome content as always.
Your skin 😍😍😍😍😍 you look so beautiful and your voice is sooo soothing ❤️❤️❤️😘😘
My first video on TH-cam is there
Omg! I’ve always thought this about her voice! Glad I’m not the only one who thought this 🥰🥰
Finally someone who is QUALIFIED to talk about this topic!! Thanks! Love the bloopers haha
Learned so many useful nutrition tips from PUL, thank you Sadia! :)
Thank you Sadie for this video. The sugar we use is Maple Syrup. Lots of fruits, dates, apples and more.
Sadia this video is perfect ! you explained the whole topic in a simple yet super organized and neat way & i loved iit ! also the visuals and the way you decorate and shoot your dishes is admirable *_* loved the bloopers at the end you're so precious xD
It's still uncanny to me how your videos ALWAYS flow right along with what I'm dealing with in life. The last couple of weeks I've been brainstorming ways to cut more processed sugar sources in my diet. Great information!
Love those bloopers!! Thanks for the great info, as always👍
I've been cutting down on sugar since November and I highly recommend it. My energy levels are much more stable and I feel more relaxed 😊
Your videos have changed my life in the best way possible 💕😊
Hi!!! My experience with sugar is that all starts from the morning routine and the coffee preference! If you have a low sugar breakfast then you can keep sugar levels lower the rest of the day! Also if you end up drinking your coffee without sugar you can start feeling kind of sugar free- when a sweet coffee is too much for you.
Sadia, you are the best, am so glad that I find your page. Thank you so much for all the info! 💜💜💜👏
Sometimes I need to watch your videos twice. One for listening the info and one just to drool with those recipes. Thanks for everything!
Your videos are true art and inspiration! ❤
Loved the bloopers. Got a new TH-cam channel, but I always think, when I’m famous like Sadia, I will share them! Bloopers are so annoying, but when shared, hilarious !!
Great video! The bloopers at the end were a nice touch, too! :)

Thank you for breaking it down with the details
It took me a while to figure out where to begin on my healthy lifestyle change with nutrition.
I stopped consuming sugar for one day and was amazed at how much sugar were in foods I didn’t realize. Once I conquered that area I seen my weight begin to melt off. Then my next steps were carbs and last dairy. I have slowly introduced food groups back into my diet which gave me insight on how my body reacted to the nutrition I consumed.
First step is no sugar for a day.
Thanks again for sharing such valuable information
Great content, as always, Sadia! Love from Canada
This is the first video I watch on this topic which actually makes me want to reduce my sugar consumption! Not to mention the visuals... Who wouldn't want to eat healthier after that ? Thank you so much!
Love the bloopers, I do that all the time.
It is nice to see such a professional and informative video on You Tube. I watch a lot of them and your videos are at the top of the list, clear, concise, and informative.
So funny the bloopers at the end! Unexpected, haha! Thanks for your great videos. So inspiring! I'm wondering how you would sound if you speak Dutch ;-)
Martine R i wouldve never known there were bloopers if i dont read this comment before if ended thanks! 😃
I think i like the fact that Sadia's videos are so well scripted and articulated and filmed that bloopers will only spoil the beauty of the video! However, it is always fun to watch them...
I’m a 19 year old guy and I just had a huge surgery done on my upper body which restrained me from working out for 1,5 month. I’m currently working on figuring out my diet and getting back into training. But I want to do it ‘the healthy way’. The fact that there are SO MANY different diets out there stresses me out. Your videos make me feel relaxed and positive about my body and my accomplishments 😌 ty!
Artificial sweeteners give me massive migraines. That’s enough for me to never ever eat those chemicals. My body knows what to do with natural sugar, and everything healthy in moderation is the key
Oh Sadia, I so appreciate you sharing the bloopers at the end! I am a new TH-camr and I find it so hard to talk sometimes. There are some people who can do an entire 30 minute video of them just talking without any cuts and I just don't know how they do it! It eases my mind knowing that you have to edit a lot too!🌺😃
I love how much thought goes into each video and how informative and beautifully filmed they are :) Your content is so helpful
Thanks so much, Dani!
Watching this video has made me realise how much I've reduced my sugar intake in the past two years! I used to eat/drink a lot of sugar, and I started to gradually make healthier choices. At first I still had a lot of sugar cravings, but they started to go away.
I wish I had seen this video back then, it summarises really well what I slowly learned on my own.
2:06 WHERE DO I GET THESE DISHES OMG
This video is so aesthetically pleasing and your voice is so soothing. Thanks for all this awesome information!!
you put so much effort in filming and it shows! very very very impressive! also, love your videos
Its 11.30 Pm in india. And I am watching this video to have pleasant night. Thank you Sadia. Your videos are like soft chill breeze on a sunny day. Please keep up the good work dear. P.S. I subscribed to your channel when you were @15k subs. So good to see how you have grown so beautifully. Best wishes all the way from India.
Looking flawless as usual Sadia
Gosh, I love your channel. I really love your approach to eating healthily, it's inspiring.
The food u make transports me to heaven ♥ everything looking so appealing and delicious and healthy....
Hi Sadia - I've been veggie all my adult life, and I stopped eating/drinking dairy at Xmas. Now I eat much less chocolate, cake, biscuits etc as they often have milk or butter in them, plus I have to be gluten free anyway, so getting gluten free, vegetarian, dairy free is quite hard! - since I started this, I have consumed so much less sugar. I allowed myself a piece of cake (gf, but not df) the other day and was amazed at how awfully sweet it was, and how little I liked it! I'm liking this new way of eating :)
You're beautiful in sooo many ways!💕💕💕💕Love this video as always 😊
I’ve been cutting out sugars for a month, and following a low FODmap diet. Very hard, and just had a flare up yesterday. A fresh take on FODmaps would be great too! Love your videos!
Just so damn amazing. I just so look forward to see your videos. Getting better and better with every upload of content. 🙏👍😊
You are amazing. Thank you for this well-organized summary of sugars and why they aren't all evil. Your unbiased approach is definitely refreshing (not just for this subject!), and I'll be sharing this with a few of my friends. I am alarmed by the extremes people go to with their diets nowadays!
