In this video I want to talk to you about how to overcome sugar cravings naturally. If you want to overcome sugar cravings, you need to follow these four steps:
1) Get the right foods in your diet
• Adding in foods that balance your blood sugar levels and insulin such as healthy protein, fat, and fiber
2) Get sugar and grains out of your diet
• Slowly wean yourself off of sugars and grains and find some healthy replacements that satisfy the sweet craving
3) Take the right supplements that will help balance blood sugar levels
• Chromium is a great option (200 micrograms 3x a day), a B-complex vitamin, and a probiotic supplement
4) Start doing the right kind of exercise
• Weight training or burst training instead of long distance cardio exercise (isometric exercise like barre class or yoga)
If you follow these four steps, you will see major improvements in overcoming your sugar cravings naturally.

I do feel anxious when quitting sugar and I guess that's how drug addicts and alcoholics feel like when going clean :(
I read once that it stimulates the same areas in the brain as an addict so we are no different as far as addiction goes.
"Alcoholism" is a Sugar Addiction!
@emergerq no it isn’t, no one is stealing from their parents for cookies, smh
me too, I can forgo coffee for a month, cold turkey, but sugar... that's my arch nemesis. And even though I am skinny, my joints hurt if I use too much sugar for too long.
That's so true.
This helped me lose 80 lbs. I can't say Thank you enough! 😁 God Bless.
Do you never eat any sugary foods...even once in a while?
Congrats 🙂
Did u take chromium and b complex supplements?
Congratulations!!! That's amazing!!!
@@zakialwamala4270 It's not just sugary foods, it's refined carbs, too (your body turns it into sugar)! Sugar is to be reserved for a rare treat!
Sugar kills slowly. It was killing me. After deleting sugar, I feel alive again. Fresh. Clear. The best 'myself' I've been in years. For a while, I couldn't even see a life without sugar. Even when I knew it was damaging my body. I love the advice in this video especially the bit at the end giving advice how to overcome sugar craving FAST.
How did you cut it, what did you replace it with?!
@@PanchoVilla-fe8pt ive been off sugar for a 2 weeks and everytime i get cravings i drink water
@@dallonpihema6910 anything else besides water? Like a food 🤔
@@PanchoVilla-fe8pt I have braces which makes it a bit easier to sustain myself and I have limited options but a snack I usually go to is fruit like bananas and oranges they help a lot with the cravings, so any fruits you like you could try also grapes
@@PanchoVilla-fe8pt nuts!
Sugar makes you happy for minutes. Being a healthy weight makes you happy all day long.
Say that to yourself every time you are about to give in. Also, a little fun fact is that taking a quick shower can help reset your cravings. If you find the urge for sugar is very strong, try taking a shower. It should get rid of the cravings. Bonus is that a shower always feels great!
ended up eating candy in shower. thanks!
Ha! I must try that!! Thanks 😁
@@jolantainese2 🤣🤣🤣
Thanks!
Sometimes it's just seconds the way people eat so fast and swallow whole!
I just realized cutting sugar and being healthy costs a lot of money. Cutting is easy, its replacing it with healthy alternatives thats hard.
If you plan out meals and stick to them itd really not. all the proccesed foods and sugar we eat never make us feel full, we 32nd up eating more.
OhMyBooda I only eat whole foods, nothing processed. I drink a lot of iced green tea, no sugar. I also do weight training and cardio 3-6 days a week. I never drink pop anymore, the tea and ice water tastes better.
OhMyBooda it actually does not, if you add up the cost of buying a fast food meal for two people twice a day or cooking at home with high quality products you end up saving money. I know because I did it and my family now eats well and spend less.
This is not true. I have been eating healthy for years and it doesn't cost much more than junk food, you just have to prepare it. Healthy prepared food is expensive and it's not very good for you. Make your own meals.
Honestly if you're serious about your health ...........
Change your environment....
Move to GERMANY. ?
This video was loaded with all types of info that I had no knowledge of. I'm a sugar fiend, 🤪 who's just started intermittent fasting. Currently, I'm on a 16:8 schedule, and just by doing this has lessened my cravings for constant sugar consumption. I'm also a diabetic & my goal is completely be off of insulin.
Sipping on warm water all day helps me most of the time.
Thank you so much! I feel amazing since I killed my sugar addiction. My skin, my body, my hormones... I'm so much healtier than before. Thank you again :)
HE'S TELLING THE TRUTH, PEOPLE... STAY WITH IT AND YOU WILL LEARN TO LOVE IT!!!
Industrialized food production puts sugars of all kinds in just about everything they can. So once the addiction is overcome, a person then needs to read EVERY food label. And some sugars are more troublesome than others.
+Mattie Smithson true!
+Mattie Smithson yep it's everywhere (excessive sugar and additives of ALL sort). why not go anymore to the supermarket??? lol
If it has a label you probably shouldn't eat it to start with. But then you might starve..
if you prepare your food in a healthy nutritional way there not many labels left to read because you would use fresh and unprocessed veggies, nuts and so on. Self baked bread is great (like unusual kinds with less carbonhydrates) I even make my own kimchi, it's so worth it!
Ingrid Langworthy po
Green tea is working well for me
Olong tea also work amazing !!!
2 years later: is it still working?
@@username-ek1kd yeah still not patched
Means how green tea not sugar how it will supress craving??
I drink green tea all the time and I'm still constantly craving sugar
My sleep deprived eyes read this as "How to kill your sugar daddy naturally"
I was like, WOOT??!!
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
😊
😂😂😂
Oooh this had me dying.
This is interesting. I didn't have a sweet tooth for the longest time, but I started having intense sugar cravings ever since I stopped weightlifting after a back injury. I think the reason is because I stopped focusing on eating lots of protein.
I didn't have a sweet tooth, until I started weightlifting a month ago...now I'm craving sugar so much! I'll try and up my protein and fats 👍
"All the suffering, stress, and addiction comes from not realizing you already are what you are looking for." Jon Kabat-Zinn
been off sugar and most carbs again for 4 month and watched that fall / winter weight drop right off . I do workout , walk and bike a few times a week also . kicking the sugar habit is always intensely hard . strong will power and what dr axe says is true and right on !
I have a constant sugar craving
It’s over a year of later. Still crave it?😏
Me too
I think using stevia as a substitute for sugar continues the "sweet-tooth" problem. Sugar is 8x as addictive as cocaine!
me too 😔
Same
Research shows that sugar is 8 times more addictive than cocaine. Food manufacturers know that and that is why you will find sugar in almost everything you consume. Your body doesn't know the difference between the types of sugar you eat. Eating fruit, although it contains sugar, is a healthier alternative. The fiber content helps to slow down the absorption of the sugars.
+Vicky Lynn Yep! And the vast majority of people get accustomed to refined sugar as children, unfortunately. Then, they have to ween themselves off of it later when one learns that that stuff is an engineered food that's really not nutritious at all. If it's designed for a long shelf life, don't eat it. Refined sugar is powder like cocaine. I like what you said!
+Vicky Lynn ..good to know, never thought of that.
@@0000ericam NO SMOOTHIES, NO JUICES, NO SODAS. Eat foods in their natural states with their natural fiber - to slow down absorption of sugars.
@@PeopleHealthTec true
I've kicked alcohol....I've kicked opium...but sugar is the hardest drug to kick...I never had cravings that strong for drugs....beware of getting your children on it
Just fyi when i stopped sugar cold turkey my body literally went through withdrawals... headache, tired, lethargic, i was sick for a week but now i'm much better
I just wanted to offer something I've realized regarding detoxing from sugar... my primary source of sugar is tea/coffee. When omitting sugar from my diet I noticed that teas with floral herbs like rose petal, jasmine, peach, etc don't require any sugar to 'seem' sweet to me. Technically I don't believe they are sweet but the scent fools me somehow into not needing to sweeten it to enjoy it.
i can honestly say this video is going to help me live a better life, mind and body
Do you struggle with a sugar addiction? Overcome food cravings and sugar cravings naturally with these four top tips!
#healthyliving #monday #cleaneating
***** Dr. Which probiotics do you recommend?... I suffer from Ulcerative colitis, currently flaring but recovering well, Im 25 and I eat healthy but I really want to improve my digestive system.
Giovanni Ramirez
Have you looked at VSL#3? I use it for my dog, who has suffered from colitis symptoms. (Although it is a human product!) It's often recommended for Crohns and Colitis patients. We get it from Sam's Club, but you can order online at vsl3.com or ask your pharmacy to order. It's not cheap, but it is well reviewed and has worked for us.
***** Would be ethical of you to supply proper scientific references for many of your claims. For example you mention Candidiasis. This is a very unproven theory and if you look at most of what you suggest they are just theories that lack evidence based medicine. Do believe everything you read. You are educated and should know better than that. You are disseminating malarky. Even Dr Weil the king of alternative medicine knows Candidiasis is hogwash. www.drweil.com/drw/u/QAA125503/Concerned-About-Candidiasis.html
Chris Keys why are you doubting ? what makes u doubt ? your own experiences ? or your intellect that has self doubt ? have u gone that far to eliminate any refined sugar products from your diet and see how u feel ? maybe your should start a video and see what comes out of your mouth ? would u have the guts to expose yourself ?
+Chris Keys Dr Weil is hardly the "king" of alternative medicine.
Does Weil still push soy? Most real alternative or integrative doctors know that soy is an endocrine disruptor (sluggish thyroid). It messes with hormones in both men and women.
BTW, I was treated for candida by a naturopath. Candida is real. And most AMA trained medical doctors won't even go there (due to their lack of training).
It's funny how some people posting on these health videos go to the extremes. Either you're a heavy meat and dairy eater or you're high carb. It's as though one can't just have a balanced diet. That's not allowed. Why? Because of their agenda.
Purchase grass-fed organic animal products and support your local farms.
Thank you for taking the time to make this video. I'm trying to lose weight, but I crave for sugary treats. I'm not diabetic, but I will follow your steps to overcome sugar craving.
Thank you once again and God Bless You:
Great Video Dr. Axe! I wish I would have watched this video before I went cold turkey on sugar and grains over 30 days ago. I've never detoxed from heroin, but my body freaked out from no sugar and grains like I had been on some serious drugs. My body feels a million time better and my joints feel great as well. I was amazed how sugar causes inflammation in the body. Thanks Again!
The universe is magical. Look at this awesome Dr. telling us how to use plants to heal our body and explaining to us why! This is what being a Doctor should be about not pushing meds first. Many blessings to you Josh
Hi, I can attest to the fact that increasing protein alone in your diet can really help with sugar cravings. I had thought I was addicted to sugar, but it seems now that I'm really having a protein deficiency which masqueraded itself as sugar addiction.
I started to have a sugar craving the first day of my "no sugar" journey (1st day of my 110th try, that is) and I decided instead to eat a few shreds of rotisserie chicken which really satisfied me and helped me wait until supper. It also whacked that sugar craving out! Since then, I'm making a more dedicated effort daily to increase my protein, and noticing I'm not even craving sugar! Is that really me saying that??? I will be sure to incorporate the other tips you gave here as well like increasing fiber and so on. I crave fruit, but I don't go crazy over it. One orange or a few pieces watermelon and some berries with a little bit of heavy cream (all organic of course) and it completely satisfies me. In other words I'm not subbing fruit for my sugar benders and eating fruit all day long. I'll also be sure to consider the other suggestions you made about increasing fiber and so on. Thanks!
When I cut processed sugar out of my diet I found myself either chewing sweet sugar free gum, or having strawberries since natural sugars are good for you, and I didn't feel like I was missing out
Ohhh thank you for this!...I'm a huge sugar addict and I was doing so good for four days no cravings nothing and I went to the gym and was working out and I started feeling dizzy and shaking, I think I was seriously having with drawls and I felt lethargic...Sugar is a terrible addiction, so I gave into sugar the last two days and now I feel like crap again....I'm going to try it again and thank you for these tips I'll do them!
I have been trying to reduce or eliminate sugar in my diet and then just stumbled on your video Doc. What an awesome coincidence.
A great post, listing the basic fundamentals in curbing sugar cravings, not through diet, but focusing on fuelling your body with necessary macro and micro foods and supplimentation. Definately worth a view
I love Dr. Axe! I've learned so much between him and my nutritionist, they both think the same way! Keep the info coming!!
I'm 13 years old, and my dad has a six pack and is a very healthy person, and I have a giant crave of sugar and I got to get past it! So thanks it has helped!
Thank you, thank you. I'm a sugar addict. I didn't know where to start. You made it seem so easy. I can do this!
Awesome value here! I can totally relate as when I let myself have just ONE bite of chocolate, I go on an almost unconscious RAGE for more and more. Thanks for the amazing tips!
Same!
Same!!!
This is excellent advice. For years I've been surfing the Internet for information about topics like this but most were scams and bs. I like how real he is about issues such as these. He doesn't do it for the money or manipulate people, it seems like he does it to truly help people.
OMG I just discovered your TH-cam videos yesterday and I am so in love!!! Thank you for sharing all these informations with us! Can't wait to start.
Thankyou for this.As a dancer/fitness instructor I have had a very unhealthy relationship with sugar - to the detriment of my teeth and energy levels!I'm still battling my sugar addiction and stevia is helping a lot, thanks for the info ) x
Fantastic video Doc
❤️
So helpful. Thank you, Dr.Axe. Just the addition of protein fat and fiber at more of my meals has been a game changer.
Me at midnight watching 'How to kill your sugar addiction naturally', sleeps with the 121st commitment in the last 2 months "OK, so zero sugar diet from tomorrow😤"
Me: wakes up the next day, goes straight to the kitchen, finds the sweetest thing in my kitchen to eat
Anddd I'm ready for my 122nd commitment
Probiotics are working wonderfully for me, I'll try chromium too. The information that you share with us really helps us.. thank you!!
Smoothies let you consume a lot more fruit than you usually would during a sitting, which means that you’ll still be getting a good deal of sugar. Would you recommend eating 1 banana 2 apples one orange 12 strawberries and 22 blueberries in one go?
Luck z LOL!😂😂😂
I know this is an old post but you don’t have to put fruit. Check our be well by kelly (author and nutritionist kelly leveque wrote a book called body love) she explains this in good and simple detail. She calls the smoothie fab 4. She recommends if you do fruit to just to 1/4 cup. Sometimes I’ll do half banana or half an apple. But if I’m really buckling down I don’t do any fruit. I’ll do cashew butter or almond butter for healthy fats along with chia seeds or flaxseeds, cashew milk, spinach, cinnamon, protein powder.. sometimes I add other super foods but for the most part this works fine and depending on your protein powder that makes a difference in the sweetness. You can add stevia if needed. She says to eat your fruit. Don’t waste it in a smoothie. I do fruit smoothies on days I feel sick because of all the added nutrients.
I doubt that's what he meant. A smoothie doesn't have to contain dozens of different fruit. It can have literally just half a banana or serving size of strawberries and that's all.
I did this and have not binged or gone off the diet for 7 days. Thank you.
Love Dr.Axe such great information easy to understand.
Great to hear shannak7337!
Thankyou
What a blessing Dr. Axe, you are to me. God Bless you.😁💜🖒
Something that has been working for me in the last few weeks is to force myself to eat some fruit (e.g. a banana or two, an apple) before allowing myself to give into a sugar craving. If I still feel like eating something sugary afterwards I definitely do it, but since I already have a full stomach and a healthy sugar high I hardly ever overdo it anymore.
Fruits are nature's candy...I'd rather eat a sweet piece of watermelon than a piece of cake...and fruit is absolutely great for your health ...go fruit
Fruit is pretty high in sugar.
Thank you for the information! I have to disagree with the last point about weight training. I actually find myself EXTREMELY hungry for carbs and sugar after weightlifting. Weightlifting (although I love it) has caused me to go off track with my diet because I get this insatiable, crazy desire to consume all the worst foods. Any thoughts on that?
brilliant. i' have transformed once before, this is my second time. having weight issues my entire life. literally went from chubby kid to fashion model then back to fat young adult then now im on my way back to thinness. everyone tells you just stop eating but its not that for those of us that have long term issues. your body literally craves this stuff. what this guy says is so true. the more protein, veggies/fiber things, and natural fat like avocados i eat the less i crave the junk. lost 65 pounds have 10 to go, im looking good and exercise is also a big thing! i wish more people would understand obesity has reasons behind it, its not just a person is lazy. its a battle for some of us. this doctor is very smart!
Video of bears
I totally agree. I started a low carb high fat diet for health reasons, then I realized that i was less hungry and didn't crave sugar.
I honestly eat 1 teaspoon of raw honey which so soo beneficial, it's sweetness just kills the appetite for me eating any unhealthy sweet junk food
it seems as if I have one sweet thing, its so hard to stop the gravings thereafter!!! I could imagine honey being the same way. When I have ate it at breakfast with a biscuit, I want more. Its like a vicious cycle. I hate it so bad bc I know its bad for me.
Virginia Rector honey's bad for you? not if you use raw honey you can eat that as much as you like, but yes honey will increase you appetite if you take it in the morning, but also gives you the satisfaction to not eat any other chemical sweets. honey is ant bacterial anti inflammatory both with the internal and external uses
+Virginia Rector It is the processed sugar in the biscuit that your body is craving more of, not the honey. Honey on a biscuit is not a real breakfast! #eggsandbacon
Eat organic whole fruit instead of honey or processed sweets and sweeteners.
if its real natural honey and not those mixes of glucose syrup it is really healthy but it does contain natural sugar and you shouldn't be eating too much of it.
Thank you for sharing! The information was delivered simply and so clearly that I totally get it!
Brilliant vid, everything I've been doing for 6 wks now.
Strange I came across this tonight when I've been struggling the last few hours with a craving. Which I don't get hardly at all these days.
Follow this info ppl
You earned a new subscriber, thank you so much sir! Much respect & appreciation for your videos!!
Cutting out excessive sugar cured my terrible armpit odor. Apparently sugar was the cause of my bad odor for MANY years.
I love this guy, thank you for all these wonderful videos. You're changing my life!
Thanks for the good tips! Do you have any recipes that taste good that include the three important ingredients of protein, good fat and fiber? Do you have any tips about how to include those foods each day so that you don't have to labor over the stove all day long?
Ive had 5 donuts today after like being sugar free for a while. How do I not binge? 😭😭😭😭
for me i focus on whole foods without trying to overly restrict myself
Dr. Axe you are awesome! I've struggled with sugar cravings my whole life. What you are saying on this video makes sense. Thank you for a new approach on this issue. I'm going to start implementing it now, and see how I do. Again thank you for shedding light on how I can start getting out of my sugar addiction, and hopefully lose some weight.
With great effort, Doc I have been successful in giving up alcohol, caffeine, sugar and carbs, looks I may live for 200 years, but I don’t know what to do now…
where was this side of TH-cam till now?? tx for ur clarity on the topic
Great video! Very helpful. Love the exercise recommendations as well! I personally think raw honey is way better then stevia.
STEVIA CAUSES MAJOR ANXIETY!!!!
This is absolutely true. I accidentally spent a whole summer without consuming sweets and I just didn't feel the need to do it. I started to eat a lot of avocados, watermelons, honeydew melons, berries...fresh fruits and vegetables. I actually thought I HAD to consume sugar. Eat a cake or something xD I was doing weight training as well. but now I am dealing with the contrary. I need ice-cream, cakes, whatever ... Everyday. I am here trying to overcome these cravings cause I was never a sugar person. This is bothering me and getting me to feel extremely exhausted...
You are right. Replacement is key. I am quitting Pepsi. That’s my last sugar. I take probiotics and 3 times a day apple cider vinegar tabs. Thank you! I am doing water aerobics, I found sweating with the oldies kicks my butt.
Hi Dr. Josh. I gave up drinking alcohol 2 months ago. Today is my 60 day sobriety date. I am shy of 300 lbs. even though I carry the weight well I know it is not healthy. My biggest concern is not turning to sugary foods to replace the alcohol. Trading one addiction for another. Aaaaaah! This video very informative and makes since. I will keep pressing and take your suggestions. Keep the great material coming! =0)
Dr. Axe, thank you for this video! It's very helpful!
My question is: How long should be taken this large doses of chromium 3 x 200 mcg? Is it dangerous for longer period of time?
I'm taking it in this dose for 4 days and really craving for sugar is minimal. Thank you and all the best!
I am on the sugar-reduction diet as well. :) One of the first things that I have done is eliminate sugary drinks. I only drink water, unsweetened tea, fruit water and Honest brand drinks! So far so good. I guess I need to elevate to reducing the sugary foods now. This video is very helpful. Thanks Dr. Axe!
You are my savior thank you so much you've helped me in so many ways you don't even know
I cut sugar out for 3 days and passed out in my bathroom. Im taking tips from this to stay healthy while trying again
I just simply go cold-turkey and tell myself "NO" if I crave something.. may even fill up on water so I don't want anything
I try that then I tell myself that I don’t eat sugary things as much and give in to my cravings
Yeah yeah I did that. It just becomes so overwhelming I massively relapse.
"I did thay"> I stayed sugar free for almost an year. I was absolutely MISERABLE. / I also didn't eat anything for 19 days, the cravings got stronger.
"So overwhelming"> unstoppable obsessions making me unable to think about anything during the day. Trying to steal sugary things from the garbage or things dropped on the sidewalk. Tears after every meal (not of sadness, but for both relief and terrifying sense of comfusion due to alteration of sugar in the blood), more tears even for 2 hours most days (due to the cravings and the anxiety to end up giving in), slow heartbeat and slowed thinking against an hyper state with sugar- when I felt much better and quick but couldn't actually achieve anything like reading or finishing the tasks at hand.
It has been a CONSTANT battle since 12 years.
@@etrebelle9812 maybe you have some nutrient deficiency that makes it very hard for you to quit sugar. Also, my advice would be don’t do it cold turkey, have fruit at least. I think our bodies need sugar, just not the refined one and the processed foods. It is ok to have fruits, vegetables, a little bit of honey and even a little bit of dark chocolate. It’s going to the extremes that makes it impossible; maybe try to keep your sugar intake very low and that would probably help better then not having anything sweet. I don’t think having fruit will make you want cookies and icecream. Becouse fruit is healthy sugar, as long as you have it in moderation.
I swear when I have 2 dropped eggs on twio pieces of good toasted bread, I feel good and steady in the morning. You can also add a little butter on top of eggs and of course salt & pepper. Or three eggs on 2 pieces of toast!😀👍🏻
You are AMAZING Dr Josh Axe!! You are truly a gift!! God has given you a heart to really inform people to help them be at their best health !!! bless you, bless you, bless you!!!
thanks a lot for your very helpful tips..I am crazy about sweets despite being diabetic will try to follow your tips to decrease my sugar cravings..
FInally a doctor that understands FOOD IS MEDICINE. Not like the other doctors that automatically prescribe medication, not even question their diet or exercise. Like to my parents :( THANK YOU.
You are awesome :) i love all of your videos very informative.
Hello Dr. Axe. I am 65 years old. I can not do fast work outs or any bending. What do you suggest I could do to build my strength up along with cutting out my sugar intake and focus on a more healthier way of eating and living? Thank you for your valuable information though these tutorials that you make for everyone.
Do chair exercises. Lots of videos on TH-cam.
thanks for being so positive in all your videos!!
Hey Dr. Axe, I love your Bone Broth Protein powder - I recommend it to my patients all the time! I'm so glad you mentioned probiotics. Specifically I recommend Saccharomyces boulardii to my clients. But only after they've gone through my 2-week Sugar Craving Crusher Cleanse to kill candida. You are always spot on Doc! :)
Ok Im 13. ADDICTED TO SUGAR. I eat so much. I need help I don't want Diabetes its making me freak out.
+HelloItsAthena : Vitamin B6 will stop the sugar cravings...I saw a video from another Doctor...it works, haven't gone to the bakery or bought sweet stuff in a month!!!!
REALLY? how old are you?
46
thats probs easier?
+idaho38 what kind of food that contain vitamin b6
Wow, I had no idea about the exercise thing. I knew that exercise causes higher cravings, but I didn't know there was a difference in cravings depending upon what exercise you do. Good information and it makes sense.
I had no idea probiotics help with sugar cravings!! Wonderful advice!! Thank you so very much!!
tea and honey , specialy green tea , helps me a lot on the sugar cravings
Dark chocolate covered goji berries and almonds work really well when you're trying to avoid sugar. Although they still contain sugar eating a small amount of them kills a true sugar donut carb craving.
Hi Dr Axe, I put yogurt in my smoothies as the protein portion. Should I substitute for whey protein? I suffer from acne and heard I should stay away from dairy... is that right?!
I just discovered your videos today and can't stop watching it!!! Thanks for all the fabulous I info! ☺️
I love your style of delivery really helps to knock out videos being a busy mom. Plus i the examples you give to further explain things HUGE help. Blessings, oh the the 5 minutes of being grateful bible reading and prayer great idea as i struggle with time management
Just found your channel and immediately subbed. very informative.
+Maryam M yeah he's awesome
I've also heard that cinnamon is a great way to help with the cravings.
This is why the Whole 30 works so well. I lost 30 lbs in 30 days and felt great, killed craving and gained a new palate for healthy things i didn't like before it. Highly recommend the whole 30 book while getting prepped mentally to do it. I did it without cheating because of the help and information in it.
Is it free if not can you just tell me what it says?
@@hopesaday7619 there's a book to go along with the 30 day "diet" it is very very helpful. Its called, It Starts With Food but you don't have to! Just look up Whole 30 dos and don'ts.. I don't want to steer you wrong, its been a while! :)
Thanks Doc, I was just wondering about how to get off sugar. Great video
Keep making delicious savoury foods and stop thinking about sweet things. At least that is what I am trying
Saaaaame, and loads of non gmo fruits
Kubuhzz -LM not too sweet fruits
Where am I suppose to find wild chicken? I live in a capital city.

When he mentioned 'Stevia' I thought of Breaking Bad!
This is really helpful, thank you!
I wasn't having sugar cravings when I quit for the first few weeks, now during the holidays I'm craving sugar more than ever. Maybe it's because I'm living in a place where there are many snacks at hand right now, and it's hard to stick to steer myself toward the celery instead of the cookies. I don't indulge, but the cravings are there (no matter how much I eat).
Dude, your presentation, regarding information, is fine. But you lack graphics. The world population are very visual. Following your presentation is easy. But graphics are the key to guide your viewers to understand what meals, food, and what not. You're giving a class like in the old days: "Site there and just listen".
Just because YOU have A learning disability, does not mean all of us need to see graphics to understand.
I don't need to be spoon fed and watch cartoons. I'm not a child so speak for yourself please...his presentation was great and very informative what more do you need?
kids today can't even read regular clocks. they call them analog. lol. whew!
LOTS OF EDITING TIME ADDING ALL THAT GRAPHICS ITS A HEADACHE And I HATE IT
I just took notes.
thank you for giving me an excuse of not doing cardio :D
Any suggestions for someone with the pancreas taken out? Its suggested that fibrous foods be softened as the enzymes from the pancreas, that help breakdown fibers from fruits and veggies with peels so as to help in the digestion of them. What foods would help reduce sugar cravings to combat spiking of the blood sugar for someone with no pancreas at all?
Sugar cravings can be brutal for me. Appreciate the advice, thank you!
Does a margarita count? It's made out of Catus and lime juice.... :-)
