- I quit sugar for 30 days and did my blood work (lipid panel) while wearing a Continuous Glucose Monitor (CGM). In this video, I share my experience & my biometric data around binging sugar and quitting sugar. I was surprised at how bad just 4 days of Average American sugar intake was for my body.

Maturing is realizing that sugar is also a drug✅
everything in moderation!
There's no such thing as moderation when it comes to sugar. Would you tell people to moderate their drug intake?😉
Scientist say sugar is more addicting than cocaine. I believe them. Sugar is nearly impossible to give up.
@@Ericadbury yes, depending on the drug. Plenty are fine in standard amounts. Not every drug is methamphetamine.
It is a drug. I'd argue it's even more dangerous because many people don't look at it that way. At least with alcohol, cigarettes, etc people acknowledge it.
So many 'I quite sugar' videos focus on the weight, and it's great that you focused on the other markers/numbers. Weight is just another marker, like cholesterol, inflammation, etc. It all matters.
really glad you touched on the difficulty of how tough it is to not eat really unhealthy stuff in social situations! the struggle is super real
so many unhealthy foods everywhere!
I started keto on may 9th 2023 and dropped 18 lbs (its 7/30/2023) and I feel amazing. Prior, I was feeling depressed, anxious, and lethargic. I'm at 229 lbs now. In 2020, I started keto the first time when I was 276 and dropped 70 lbs, then maintained it on no added sugar and mostly low carb, but not keto and not processed. Then, in late 2022, I got depressed and binged again and gained 40 lbs back, but then in may I decided to make a change and have been nearly 3 months keto (but I get lots of fiber, and low carb veggies like turnips and greens). I feel great and in 2020 when I did this the first time, my doctor who told me to do it, she took labs every three months and they improved more and more until the labs showed I looked no longer pre-diabetic/insulin resistant.
bravo hermana! you need to post your videos and share
I have diabetes. Sugar is everywhere. Its a plague. Its also very expensive to eat without sugar in your diet. Thankyou for raising awareness and preventing diabetes with your video :) you might help many
You are so entertaining dude. The way you put this video together was extremely compelling! Well done!
I have watched 4-5 of your videos and all of them were so good. I am sure you will reach 1M in no time.
i love the depth and quality of your videos! honestly surprised you don't have 100k subs yet
We will achieve 100k subs!!
Great Topics. Super love!!!
So impressed on the editing here...
I love this idea!
Top Tier Content. Thanks for sharing with us!
The algorithm blessed me with this channel today. Instant sub. Awesome channel and you should (and will) have 10x the subs!!
I think it's the taste if sugar you have to give up,if you do that for about 2 weeks everything will taste over sweet,our taste buds actually get used to bitter or bland food
With the glucose monitors, it is important to know that it only measures glucose levels in the blood, NOT fructose, which is only processed by the liver, nor lactose from milk. Sucrose is half glucose and half fructose. High fructose corn syrup is 55% fructose and 45% glucose. Obviously, fruit is fructose, which is normally not problematic, unless your system is already sugar overloaded. The glucose monitor is NOT the whole story. Important to remember.
Thanks for another great video. It’s super hard to avoid added sugar. I’ve used levels health to see which protein shakes spike my glucose the least. It’s a good tool.
finding balance is key! woah that's interesting I haven't tried it with different protein shakes
The more processed the food, the more it spikes blood sugars and then insulin follows which turns off fat burning. Eating fiber, fruit or fats with protein powders definitely slows the rise of BS/insulin.
Says he's going to stop eating sugar. Spends half the episode binging on sugar.
for science!
LOL OOPS... for science!
Carb/sugar addiction is a struggle and the struggle is REAL!!!
Explains all the hangry and mood swings people go through 🎢
@@LN-wt9ftit's really easy it's most people are just that unhealthy they cannot eat so much sugar.
Great video, thanks! Do you think the keto junk food, which tasted sweet, kept you craving sweets? That has been my unfortunate experience. 😢
One homemade meal in entire video! I think that’s your problem right there, America.
People don't realize how addictive sugar is. This experiment is like starting a drug addiction and then trying to quit. Great video to help raise awareness!
Grain makes insulin spike, even when it is "healthy' grain. Elevated glucose causes elevated insulin levels. Insulin is a fat storing hormone that also makes you retain water. If you can, cut the sugar, and cut the carbs. It is not easy, but very beneficial.
Dude awesome stuff
Thank you Minsoo!! Been a while since I’ve seen you in the comments 😉
Didn't realise you made a video on sugar. I am trying with my friend to stay off of added sugars in food products for 2 weeks, so it's nice to see a video by someone who I enjoy watching! We're doing no added sugars as best as we can, but not 0 sugar, as we both still rely on our parents to cook our food lol, so we have no say in that. Otherwise, no ice cream, no nutella, no jams, no soda, no chips, but we do allow fruits. Can't wait to see the results
How did it go? Did you make it 2 weeks?
@@Funexpected Yep. Made it through. It was tempting to just fall back and eat something sweet but I made it. I noticed that I lost some weight after the two weeks and that the skin on my abdominal was thighter. After the challenge I noticed, even though I consume it again, I do consume quite a substantial amount less sugar than before. I drink way more water now too instead of soda.
@@finnjacobs Great job. I love sweets and will try a similar challenge, but not yet, I'm going on vacation in a few days. Lol
@@Funexpected I highly recommend it. It can be very tempting and quite hard at times, but just keep pushing. I felt good when I did the challenge and I felt physically good too. I am not an expert in this field at all and I'm never going to claim that I am, but I think it's good for your body if you cut your dependency on these sugars, you'll start burning fat the second week I think (is what I have read online, so do take what I just said with a big grain of salt)
@@finnjacobs I'm tall and thin, so weight loss is not my concern. I just love sweets but know how metabolically bad sugar is for the body.
Loved it! High quality video 🙌🏼
Also, Erythritol is supposedly high antioxidant and in normal usage very healthy!
interesting! i've noticed everything I eat with Erythritol (or another common ingredient) gives my tummy issues!
@@ShervinShares Ahh, I had read that could be an issue, but only if it was way over normal amounts
@@ShervinShares This is not uncommon with any/all sugar alcohols. Note that Erythritol has no known negatives (aside from a few poorly constructed studies on heart attack correlation). and obviously the stomach/diarrhea concerns in high dosages. In contrast, stevia can disrupt the microbiome and reduce 'good' bacteria (e.g bad for you). In contrast, monk fruit is has a beneficial effect on your microbiome based on currently available studies. No studies I've seen on Erythritol, though I suspect this is largely due to your gut flora as well.
Xylitol even better
Recent study published in nature found that elevated blood serum levels of erythritol increases blood clot formation leading to much higher risk of heart attacks and strokes.

loved this, keep up the solid work man ✌🏼
Joe Lee in the comments! What an honor!
I wouldn’t have kept creating & growing with your help way back
You do realize your sugar is not "spiking" because your body produces a huge amount of insulin to keep it down. Long term it's a recipe for insulin resistance even if your blood glucose levels look normal.
Not quite. The glucose spike is what triggers insulin production. You can pretty much correlation rate of change of glucose levels with insulin production.
That's cool thx for the video 🙂
quit sugar and quit coffee at the same time for 30 days and become beyond human, become huberman 🤣
Thanks man this cracked me up
I appreciated you keeping track of the data. Did your energy expenditure change much throughout this process? Did you work out more/less etc?
I looked into the claim about Mcdonald's fries having sugar and it's not listed either as an ingredient and isn't reflected in their nutritional information (0g sugar, 0g added sugar). Where did your friend get that information?
I read that McDonalds is using particular potato brands that are larger and more “yellow” than the normal potatoes. The most used brands are Pentland Dell, Russet Burbank, Ivory Russet, Innovator and Shepody potatoes.
Great content! Keep on and you will have tons of subscribers. All videos are substantive, funny and motivating.
I appreciate that! what type of video do you want to see next?
@@ShervinShares Thanks for replying 😀
At least for me, it is really interesting to watch your reviews on long-term practical experience of using tech that helps being more healthy and productive.
But overall it seems that you've found your style of making videos (substantive, tho funny and easy). So you can experiment with new things to make videos about 👍
Well done! This was so fun to watch! I definitely enjoy having something sweet after dinner. 😅
i knowwww i still crave sugar after every dinner. what life experiment should i run next?
Respect! I couldn't do it. I could easily quit added sugars, as I already do, but sugar in general, I couldn't.
It’s almost impossible!!
Interesting challenge! I've been trying a (slightly) lower sugar diet too, I feel the pain!
i'm just trying to live a life of moderation!
i went off all added suger and day 4 i thought i was going to pass out it was so bad BUT it made me realize how adicted to sugar i was i dident eat addead sugar for about 4 months then came the hollidays and i feel into the trap of candy from my birth country and just as quick i was hooked back on it not as bad but still bad enough fast forward x months and im now back to no sugar and this time i dident crash as hard and maby it was easier since now i know what i can eat and drink as a snack
Sugar is only on thing. Carbs are sugar too. The real issue is high fructose corn syrup. Also should have do on prime which is so bad.
Try being a diabetic with naturally high triglycerides.
What I need is glucose and triglycerides monitor. Does anyone make one yet. Looks like the issue is that is only thru blood tests.
New subscriber 👍😊
ACUPUNCTURE worked a miracle for me. Starting with the first treatment, no sugar. Three weeks and three more treatments and still NO sugar.
I avoid processed food as much as possible. So many chemicals, sugar and nasty seed oils in everything. Leaves me with meat, fruit and vegetables and some dairy
I NEEDED THIS VIDEO!!! I’m just about to start going quit sugar
Yes!! Lmk how it goes! What should I quit next?!
It’s really hard to believe how much sugar is in everyday products. What I’ve heard in the past is that companies what to keep you coming back and sugar acts like cocaine in the same pleasure centers in the brain
You just quit added sugars… quitting sugar is different. Thats why you didn’t get results.
A lot of those “Keto” products, aren’t actually Keto, Keto means low to no sugar at all, added or not. That’s why certain fruits with high sugar like bananas are not allowed. So you’re still getting a sugar fix with a lot of those “Keto” products and banana. Certain fruits like berries are better because they are lower on sugar and the fiber slows down the sugar digestion, leading to less of a insulin spike.
Get a Ninja Cremi. I make very low cal, no sugar, no fats, high protein ice cream; use protein powder of your choice, whey or beef, flavorings like cocoa powder (low carb naturally), stevia, water flavorings (I like cherry drink mix plus vanilla powder = cherry vanilla) and a T or so of sugar free pudding mix to thicken. Freeze for 24 hours, process twice to go from a powdery icy product to creamy. You can have a full pint for around 150 calories.
Your Glucose and Hemoglobin did not change!?!?!?! WHYYYYYY. I was told to eat less sugar to drop my A1C number.
106,44,84 - can you explain these numbers? What are they?
Great video I’m doing the same test but you put up a lot products that have sugar substitutes or has keto name it’s says doesn’t have sugar but still does something to your body the real quest is to quit eating sugar and sugar substitutes also bread that turn into sugar and also low glucose fruits bananas have high sugar
yeah I dont' really trust these lab produced "sugar free" products. Who knows what other bad stuff is caused by sugar subs.
What is that smart measuring tape thing?
Did you equate calories before and after?
Oat milk is also full of seed oils
I quit added sugar and alcohol at the same time, starting in February. The alcohol was easy - the sugar was NOT! I would wander around the grocery store checking labels and could not buy ANYTHING -- Including V-8 juice -- even things like mustard and wasabi!!! Did not do scans or bloodwork, but thanks to diet and yoga 4-5 X/wk, I lost 13 lbs of (mostly) stubborn belly fat and got quite ripped in less than 90 days. At 62, I feel like I'm in the best shape of my life. I'm back to very light drinking and minimal sugar - (less than 10g a day) mostly from dark chocolate. I will never go back...
What’s worse for you - sugar or alcohol?
Dude you should try Dr. Livingoods 21 sugar detox. You can’t have bread and certain types of fruit!
Changed my whole outlook on food and sugar!
Shervin: let me quit sugar… but wait I’m going to excessively binge it first
Lol
Oats if not organically grown contain an extreme amount of pesticides.
You dont know how blessed your are. Im a type 1 diabetic, i don't eat sugar, and your sugar is still better than mine. Thats a disease for you. Edit: but because of my diabetes i found God. So no regrets.
Are all sugars created equal yes?
You look like jim croce. Nice video.
It would be interesting to see how your body reacts to doing Whole 30 diet
boosting the algo😮
Woooo
I quit sugar for a year and it changed me for years since. I still cannot fully enjoy overly sweet food.
Oh he ENJOYED that sugar binge.
so your triglycerides went up after quitting sugar?
They went down. Then I binged sugar and Triglycerides skyrocketed after the 4 day binge
Focusing solely on sugar doesn't really give a full pictures of the macros in these foods, which includes lots of processed fats as well. There's proof that diabetes can be reversed with a high carb low fat, whole foods plant based diet. Combining high fat and sugar is the recipe for diabetes, excess fat blocks insulin receptors, get rid of excess fat in the diet, reverse insulin resistance. A high fat diet doesn't address insulin resistance.
Would love if the data could’ve been on screen for more than like three frames 🤷🏼♂️😂
How about eat healthy food like nuts, beans, salad, milk, poultry, tuna, roasted edemame, olive oil, sugar free bread, pears, instead of keto ice cream and keto muffins.
I’m always baffled by how much more sugar is being added to food in the US compared to everywhere else. The same exact oatly milk has like 2-3g of total sugar per 100ml in Germany for comparison. Can’t imagine how sweet your oat milk must taste 😂
Informative content! Our videos share a common theme.
All the junk food you described as high sugar had more calories from fat...
The sugar binge you went on is the normal american diet. That's truly how most americans eat.
It seems your blood-work got worse after quitting sugar no? Higher LDL, cholesterol, triglycerides. (All still within the healthy range though). Awesome video, keep it up.
This was a poor example of healthy eating though. He essentially replaced high sugar processed food with other processed food.
Added sugar is terrible but eating to much food with a high baseline sugar isn’t that much better.
Would of been a lot more interesting if he had switch to single food ingredient’s for a month instead.
saw the same thing. i think a go-to (and understandable) choice during an experiment like this would be to reach for a lot of saturated fat-laden foods. it could be best for him to actually keep the sugar around and curb the extra reaches for sat fats
shervin posts, i click. even if its old video
Suprisingly, Ben & Jerry's raises blood sugar.
Once you're hooked on the "keto" products, you've already lost the diet.
This test like america 🇺🇸 savage 😱
Oatmilk is near ZERO in protein- Regular milk? 10 g protein/ BUT! 10 sugars .
yummy yummy
Long time no see in the comments!!
Sugar alcohols, erythritol, invert sugar... God bless if it works for you but those things wreck my gut.
Just eat sugar then not high calories from fat and sugar and redo it cause if you eat same foods in deficit your bloodwork will be tye opposite
Well fruit is also sugar.
So the end of this video was not very conclusive… and the video left me feeling like this was less of an experiment and more of an advertisement for levels… I certainly will be reporting this to the FTC for misreported advertising relationship. Maybe they can review.
Holy Sugar
watching some catalog video I see?? haha yes...
@@ShervinShares Keeps coming up on my homepage during lunch, gotta support ya too
@@Dr.JubairsFinance you da best
people think the keto stuff is healthy because there's no sugar, but there's some studies that have been done on artificial sweetners that show they may be more harmful than sugar.
No added sugar... but alcohol is ok?? I think you might want to take a class on nutrition
There is no added sugar to McDonalds fries LUL. Good video though, that's an easy lie to be sold I reckon.
Just eat food, grown in the ground or on trees. It's that simple.
Ha. 3:53 this tastes like america
sugar is good
41 in a can of pop? crazy!!
I know!!!
Nootella
Butttt you had a lot of artificial sweeteners. Your brain cannot tell the difference so you didnt get as many of the health benefits as far as the brain goes also things like sinple carbs and alcohol all turn to sugar in the blood stream. So the alcohol was super bad idea. Just some pointers if you wanna go more hardcore next time! Ive done it befor too, it was hard but worth it. Also chipotle definitely has sugar. I worked there.
Lol i thought you meant Big mac had 69 g of sugar hahah..hope not...
No way that the average American only eats 77 grams of sugar? Has to be like 200 grams in my opinion.
Sugar is in everything its impossible to have zero sugar.
Yes almost next to impossible. Hence why I removed only added sugars
Sugar is as addictive as cocain, and that's crazy!
One hella drg
There is no chocolate in Mr Beast's chocolate bar. The worst chocolate I've eaten in years.
Too many dexa scans in your videos. It is repeated exposure to radiation. 3- 4 a year max.
Not that hard to take in 70 grans sugar a day. Just drink 24 oz of coca cola and eat a single 1" square of "healthy" chocolate.

you made your trig to HDL ratio worse lol
