The average American consumes 152 pounds of sugar EACH YEAR. That is around 3 pounds of sugar each week. Sugar makes us feel good in the short term by giving us a rush of energy and briefly improving our mood. But the truth is, the long term effects of too much sugar are terrible. Eating a lot of sugar can cause weight gain, decrease the effectiveness of your immune system, and even affect the quality of your skin.
Sugar addiction is real. Right now so many people are struggling with it and have no idea how to break sugar addiction. There is even research that suggests that sugar is more addictive than cocaine. If you or someone you know is looking for a sugar addiction cure, we will teach you how you can help them. We'll go over how sugar addiction works, the sugar addiction symptoms, and how to cut sugar addiction naturally.

I decided to finally get off sugar a few years ago. The first three days were really tough. In the summer I would wake up with headaches which I thought were caused by allergies. When I got off sugar the headaches went away. Lack of pain was a great motivator for me. Now when I look at a frosted donut or cake my brain makes a connection and reminds me" there is a headache waiting for me" and I am not even tempted. I occasionally have a piece of bittersweet chocolate or a graham cracker but am usually disappointed when someone offers me something sweet when eating out. I drink a lot of teas, mostly herbal or decaf in the afternoons. I find if I am wanting something sweet I am satisfied by having a vanilla or spice tea with a spoonful of plain milk. If you can get through the first few days it gets easier.
Amazing! Thanks for sharing 🙌
Thank you for a great video! As I sat here thinking this is it I’m going to cut down on my sugar from now on as I failed out of the wagon in December your video came in a perfect timing 😀
Definitely will utilize all the tips you provided. Thank you!!
Same here. It is important to cut down the sugar I have been taking because having too much sugar is bad for our bodies. We tend to enjoy the sweetness, but we still have to watch out for the sugar intake because there are many things will impact our health. This video is very informative and inspirational. It helps me to watch out for my sugar intake!
Awesome Kym! You're very welcome 👍
Awesome my friend! I am glad you've found this informative 🙌
You r sooo right!! Get it out of house! I actually threw away Christmas candy just last week! It was literally calling to me! And once you detox it’s much easier totally eliminate sugar than try to eat moderately. It’s an all or nothing just like any addiction!!
Absolutely 👍
Sugar is really easy to get addicted due to big companies that market sugar filled food to kids at a yound age which eventually turns into a long term addiction, this video really shows insight on the matter which i have not seen before.
Absolutely my friend! TY 😊
Some of the suggestions might seem obvious but when I really analyse my routine I realize just how many things I'm not doing that could be helping me situation. So I appreciate having advice like this in a nice video package I can watch to keep myself in check!
Awesome my friend 🙏
I have diabetic for 2 years and being with that I can't stay away from sugar. I addict to sugar badly after knowing I have diabetic. I think this video will help me a lot being away from sugar. Thanks dear. I always follow your videos.
You're very welcome my friend! I’m very glad this was helpful for you 🙏🏼
I've been diabetic for 11 yrs. now. Watching video now, and the first few minutes have validated what I've felt about being addicted to sugar. Life changing, is this video. Thank you!
So true. Sugar is very addictive for many people. Diabetes run in my family so I know how important it is to break the sugar addiction. I have seen my love one having to check their blood sugar twice a day and take insulin.
You're very welcome 👍
😓 please ask them to watch this video 🙏
@@FitMotherProject I will.
👍
Thank you so much. I am addicted to sugar and I will do this x
You're very welcome 🙏
People always say get the sugar out of your house, but sometimes we live with people who do not support that and there would be an uprising. Do you have tips for those of us who don’t have 100% control over what is on our homes? It feels kind of hopeless right now.
Hey Kelly, thanks for writing in and great question! This is a very common issue for those looking to reclaim their health. We actually have a great video discussing how to handle this situation here==>th-cam.com/video/kRpHYmLJku8/w-d-xo.html

I used to be a drug addict, I was at a really low point in my life before and during my pregnancy when I was 19. I quit everything, i don’t smoke, drink or take drugs but I’m now addicted to sugar. :(
Well done for quitting drugs & alcohol, follow the tips given on this video and hopefully you will also get over sugar addiction 👍
Sugar leads me to binge eating I've tried to have in moderation portion size I weighed those malteser, cookies gummies, pastries but just makes me want to go back for more and even finish the full paks sizes, how can people say to have in moderation those stuffs it just make you crave more i found when i eat.whole foods not diets whole foods in the of t days im not hungry
Such a helpful video! What would you recommend for someone that is vegan? For protein replacement..
Thank you!
Hi Donna, here a couple of videos for a vegan diet:
th-cam.com/video/fOme8szjoEI/w-d-xo.html
th-cam.com/video/NHv5F2ALYXU/w-d-xo.html
🤚🏾🤚🏾🤚🏾 yep I am. This video is truly an eye opener. And yes after watching this I can say I'm addicted to sugar 🤦🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️🤦🏾♀️😩😩😩.
👍
Thank you for your very informative video. I forwarded it to my spouse. I normally do not eat any added sugar, not even maple syrup or honey. If I need to add a bit of sweetness to food I will use dates. Today I made chocolate chia pudding using dates. Dates are a whole food and are so sweet, a small amount of whatever it is in is enough. I have a small amount of the pudding and it does the job. I used to make banana nice cream too using frozen bananas, cocoa powder and a little plant based milk (if necessary) and vanilla extract. Instead of eating items with cane sugar, with a good blender you can make these incredibly delicious and healthy desserts with whole foods like dates and bananas.
So true. I do use small amounts of honey in my breakfasts. Otherwise I don't have any other sweetener for the rest of the day.
Amazing ideas Dina! Thank you very much for sharing 😊
Awesome my friend 👍
I battle sugar addiction every single day. I’m miserable, tired, gaining weight, and I feel powerless to kick this addiction.
Hi Donette, I hope you can take on board the tips given on this video to overcome your addiction. If you are interested in additional information on what sugar does to your body and mind, check out our article: Clean Eating 101: How Sugar Affects Your Physical and Mental Health → www.fitfatherproject.com/clean-eating-sugar-youtube-share
I hear ya. I feel the same one 😞
This is me, it's chocolate at night when I watch a TV show or movie, I love chocolate and I'm hoping I can stop eating it
Awesome my friend 💪
Very Interesting I like this sugar Addiction and best quality
👍
But when I buy some I just want to finish it all
So is it advisable to completely cut sugar out of your diet or greatly cut back?
Hi Danielle, preferably completely cut out refined sugar from your diet 👍
I try but it never works. Really want to kick the sugar real bad. Do you recommend and specific green tea? In the Caribbean it is harder to get the right things in my opinion, as they are more costly, or not available.
Hey Karen, thanks for writing in! You are right, that kicking the habit is absolutely difficult but is so worth it in the end. You can find some of our favorite teas, as well as other products we recommend, here==>fit-mother-project.helpscoutdocs.com/article/24-our-fit-mother-recommended-products-list

But then I keep going back until I finish it's just a waist of money, and a waist of calories, they are appealing at first but it's definitely not my friend those sugary treats

I've always had a major struggle with sugar addiction, and I've never found a good routine to beat it. Thank you for the valuable advice. Hopefully, this will allow me to overcome this addiction and find better health!

My biggest problem!!! Sugar and junk food 😫😫😫😫😫😫
🙏
Brilliant video. Thank you!!!! Watched a couple this evening. Love your enthusiasm while explained. Will watch more.
The importance of drinking water. Especially first thing in the morning.
Only when put into action/applying the knowledge, one sees the benefit.
This I say from my experience.
You're very welcome 🙏
When the pandemic began, I was a housewife who normally was pretty healthy and worked out a lot. I got lazy, gained 35 lbs and ended up with pre-diabetes. When I looked back on my life habits, I had been drinking a lot of Coke and other very sugary soft drinks, hard ciders, eating a lot of candy and other processed sweets. Now I'm trying desperately to stop these sugar cravings and doing pretty well.
A problem I have is my husband and teenage daughter like their sweets. I can't throw out what is theirs so it's in the house, not that what they like is something I particularly like. But, it's still there. I have them "hide" it out of sight and put apples and such where I can easily get to them.
I have to say brushing your teeth after dinner is powerful. My issue is that after eating supper, my mouth wants something sweet to counteract the good food. Brushing my teeth cancels that "craving".
🙏
I just found your video and I’m curious if anyone has advice about how to get sugar out of the house when your family isn’t on board…especially if they are able to eat sugar in moderation. (I’m the addict!) I don’t want my kids to get obsessed with sweets because I am too restrictive at home. But I also eat their sweets when they aren’t looking. How have other people solved this issue? Thanks!
Just don't buy sweets and stop eating for a while, and soon your won't need them anymore 👍
What about stevia monk fruit allulose etc? I don’t eat sugar but in my weight loss 80pounds journey I feel like I still have a sweet tooth. I’ve tried reducing the amount I use in my coffee for instance. What is you thoughts on all the non sugar sweetness. I don’t use Sucralose and the other dangerous sweeteners for health reasons.
Hey Colleen, thanks for writing in and great question. We are a fan of the natural sweeteners you mentioned and they are appropriate swaps for the harmful artificial sweeteners you alluded to. However, if wanting to beat cravings, using any type of sweetener only masks the issue, rather than solving it all together. And the only way to beat the sweet tooth is by refraining or at least slowly weening off most sweet tastes, artificial or not. Check out this video breaking down the artificial sweeteners for more info==>th-cam.com/video/x1TbGMHZtV0/w-d-xo.html

Thank you this come at the right time am struggling trying control my sugar addiction
Awesome my friend! I’m very glad this was helpful for you 🙏🏼
Great video and about health and habits i can compare this is me will try to improve
Awesome my friend! Ty 😊
I have 2tsp of honey a day is that bad? Also I use coconut sugar wondering how these rate as sugars? If they will hurt you like sugar does. Thankyou : )
Hey Peach, thanks for writing in and great question! While both honey and coconut sugar are "better" in terms of coming from natural sources, they are both alternative forms of sugar. And the detriment of sugar on our health is still present. While some forms, such as coconut sugar, do come with additional benefits, the amount you'd have to eat to reap them are far outweighed by the negatives that come with too much sugar. So if trying to break through this reliance on sugar, it's better to refrain than to "bandaid" the issue by masking the dependency.

Hi. What caught me is all the sugar just staying in your body and around your muscles - encouraging the cravings. How do I get that sugar out of my body for good?
Hey fotoluvr81, thanks for writing in and great question! It's all about time to rid your body of all that sugar. Adding in some exercise, specifically resistance work, will only help expedite the process!

Awesome my friend! Really happy to have you with us. Explore our channel. We have a ton of awesome stuff here. Our website is also a fantastic resource. www.fitmotherproject.com/blog 😊
This is a great guide and video to gain knowledge of sugar addiction! Definitely agree on the comparison of sugar to drugs!
Awesome my friend! Ty 😊
This is me. And people argue that sugar isn't addictive. I am one of those people that can't control the amount once I start.
🙏
L-Glutamine helps significantly with cravings
👍
I was wondering if monk fruit is as bad for you as sugar even though it'd natural.
Hey Michelle, thanks for writing in and great question! Monk fruit is actually one of our preferred sweeter alternatives (in addition to Stevia and Sugar Alcohols) when needing a smaller sweet fix. Check out this video detailing these options, as well as some of the more harmful ones from our brother FFP site==>th-cam.com/video/x1TbGMHZtV0/w-d-xo.html

So happy I found you, your videos are great! Great info and easy to understand what the meaning of things are. You've helped me to understand what healthy meals are and helping me put together a program suited for my lifestyle. I've always wondered how much exercise I should do and how much water is correct. I've always been interested in how our organs work, what they need the most of and what junk food does to us. You've helped me in many ways! Keep your vids coming....love the longer videos! Never too old to learn!
Awesome Gretchen! Really happy to have you with us. Explore our channel. We have a ton of awesome stuff here. Our website is also a fantastic resource. www.fitmotherproject.com/blog
People's addiction to sugar! The matter is really unique. I liked your discussion very much. Thank you for sharing the video with us.
I agree with you, it is a very interesting topic, and in the video you show us information of great relevance for all sugar addicts.
You're very welcome Robert 👍
Excellent 🙏
I needed this. There needs to be a Sugar Anonymous! I try to grab a piece of fruit when I have sugar cravings, but sometime that fruit is not enough and I'll grab a cookie or some dark chocolate.
sweets and chocolates are definitely delicious, but they do irreversible damage to our body, thanks to the information provided we can become aware of the proper use of sugar and the addiction that it produces.
👍
You're very welcome my friend 👍
Excellent job on the harm sugar is on our bodies!
👍
What’s your take on dates ? Are they a good sugar sub?
Hey Anna, thanks for writing in! As a fruit, they are quite sugary with very little nutrition to show for them. Using the as a sugar substitute is a solid option but check out this video for some of our favorite fruits: th-cam.com/video/mTPbsXXAPPU/w-d-xo.html
Best of luck!

The addiction is real. I hide it. If I threw it in the trash and it was still in the trash I would go get it out!!!
Hi Kelly, get the trash outside, try to control yourself and don't buy any candy in first place...try hard for a couple of weeks and believe me it gets easy 👍
What can I use to sweeten my coffee is maple syrup ok?
Hi Deb, we normally recommend black coffee not sugar, but maybe stevia if you don't like with not sugar 👍
Yesssss!!!
I struggle with sugar. Hope i get to overcome it.
🙏
This was great! Thank you!!
You're very welcome 👍
I love this! Thank you!
You're very welcome 🙏

I’m 53, started my fitness programme in Jan and am doing well. I’ve not had beer/alcohol for 90 days but always turn to chocolate - a time for a change. I’ve got 6 kids, the youngest being one year.

You're very welcome Tina, a new start tomorrow 🙏
I used to get shamed for eating a lot of sweets from my family, so I hid food and ate away from anyone (it was comfort food for my depression, but they just thought I was weird). Hiding tubs of chocolate icing in my laundry basket and overeating sweets in the basement, not my finest moments
Hi William! I hope that you overcame the addiction 🙏
Thank you.I needed this. I'll start tomorrow.
Awesome Shirleena 😊
Excited to try this for myself. It is time to do this for my health advancement. Thanks!
