This... I think these "health" content creators also forget that mental health is also a component to consider when developing a "healthy" or "healthier" diet. Completely cutting out any "added sugar" is a very restrictive and unsustainable diet, can make you feel guilty and miserable for eating foods you like, make you feel left out, and is especially dangerous for people prone to EDs. Thank you for sharing your story.
My grandma has gone 4 years without sugar so far, she's literally the healthiest person I know. She's 68, she wakes up at 4 every morning, ears healthy foods, works out, takes vitamins, she's truly an amazing person and someone who I aspire to be like when I grow up:)
@@Arginne it's not that she wants to, it's that her body has trained itself to wake up so early. Since I go to school I wake up at 6:10 every morning, my body usually wakes me up at least 30 minutes before my alarm goes off.
I went sugar-free to get rid of my acne. Clear skin worth it 1000% girls 😎 Side-effects: you're less hungry, feel more tastes, LOSING weight without even trying. LOSING weight!
@@evannasong8356 you know, 1 year ago I were addicted, I ate sweet every hour. I could eat one big milka only in 2 hours. That’s crazy!!! I tried to stop eating sweets, but every time started to eat them again. One day I understood and decided that I really need to stop. At first week it was soooo fucking hard, everyone asked me if I would like some sweets. But at 2 week it became easier. And rn it is almost like one and half year without sugar. And I am thankful for that I stoped eating sugar. Right now it is a lot of sweets without sugar which are healthier. And they are sooo tasty😍😍. So if you will understand why you need to stop eating sugar that will help u. I wish you good luck
@@monikapiatektheythem4501 it's not a diet. It's about changing one's ration in order to be healthy. My acne is my main motivation. And if you don't care about your health then eat whenever. No need to bully me for my desire to have a perfect skin.
Everyone saying they couldn’t do it, trust me you can. It’s like Zoe said, you just get used to it. I am crazy obsessed with sweets to the point where I would pick them over meals and just eat sugar for days but my oral hygiene was suffering so I decided to allow myself to eat added sugar one day of the week. It was massively difficult to adjust but once I did I just got used to not having it all the time and have been keeping to this for 4 months. Although it’s still difficult at times because it’s still a relatively new rule to my life and it’s hard to fight a habit I’ve had for 20+ years.
I can totally relate. I always end up trying again to reduce my sugar intake. I cut out sugar drink from my life long ago so why can't I cut out sugary food/snacks ? I want to change 🥺
Yes I quit bc of oral health! I def allow and have learned to make delicious foods with coconut sugar, maple syrup, honey, dates... Still not the best but I just love sweets so much 🥰
But… why ? I could probably do it if I wanted to, but what’s the point ? I’d loose weight, sure, but I don’t need to so why cut out one thing that actually makes me happy ?

Just ask a diabetic how they do it. We go without sugar & low carbs. It is VERY hard to do at times. But like she says once you make it a habit it gets easy. I really wish people would stop and think that when you are in the grocery store or at a restaurant and a food or drink is sugar free or low/no carb those foods/drinks are for diabetics, not just dieters. We HAVE to live without foods we love. It is just the way we have to live, and it isn't easy.
My aunt is diabetic, but she eats sugar because she knows she is not allowed to eat it. I don't eat sugar and dairy because it causes my acne. And I do not regret that I gave up sweets, in Asia, for example, desserts are rarely eaten. I really enjoy the low carb and sugar free flavors. It's about motivation, how strong it is, and you need to motivate yourself positively, not negatively.

@@Marshpie274 I do now, after a year of absolutely none. Now I have raw honey, pure stevia, and coconut sugar (which doesn't spike the glycemic index like regular sugar) in tolerably small amounts
I went sugar free for 7 months for health reasons....... I CAN GUARANTEE YOU...... That's the BEST FEELING u'll ever feel. I felt Super Light, Refreshed with Happy tummy and weight melts like butter even without exercising.... But before that one has to DEFEAT the monster👹 called CARVING , that's the Ultimate Enemy.
“Would you rather live 7 years longer or never eat your favorite food again” Ma’am, I hope I don’t spend another week on this planet, just give me that bowl of ramen
This made me burst out laughing at 4 am. Thank you so much. Every time I find hope for 'the future' I get all healthy. And then I am like: Yeah, I'll have 4 hot chocolates, then a whole chocolate, chocolate cake too and mm...some soda. It's a great plan and tomorrow will never come.
Eh but I’m sure you’d rather not die a debilitating and painful death, right? When people say they’d rather die sooner for foods that will cause such an end they often ignore the fact that, usually when you die as a result of this unhealthy food, you die from painful diseases like cancers and whatnot. Think about it!
@@midapita …I don’t know if you’re assuming my health status (which is good, I’m athletic and my BMI is exactly 18.5), or generally commenting on the random unhealthy person who might see my comment and agree, but this was just a joke, and I’m sure you know there’s a difference between never ever eating your favorite unhealthy food and eating only that After that, I agree with you, but because I’ve struggled with food problems I felt the need to clarify
I had a similar experience, I went sugar free for a few months, my skin cleared up I felt more energetic. Then when It came to having a sweet treat it tasted different and I enjoyed it more and didn’t over indulge because things taste better when you haven’t had it in a while… and now I don’t get as many sugar cravings so I don’t regret it at the end of the day, it was great experience I would recommend if you think you have too much sugar :)
i was diagnosed with type A biabetic a few weeks ago along with pcos not to mention I'm extremely overweight too. Hence my doctor specifically told me not to consume sugar at any circumstances lol it's hard when you're asian with tea addiction. but I'm trying my best haven't had sugar since last week. i thought it'd be much more hard but once you set your mind and goal it gets tolerable ig. to everyone out there trying their Best, you can do it!!!
My mom has been sugar free for almost 7 years, although I could personally never do that, she’s very happy with her diet and this video is very inspiring.
Our family cut out on the amout of sugar we consume. Now everything taste crazy sweet to all of us, so we cant buy a lot of things we used too bcs it taste way too sweet. We also dont really consume frizzy drinks anymore, we get these only when eating out which once a month. Honestly it isnt that bad or hard to do. Just little by little have less sugar, best thing is to start by stopping having things like cola and then move on to the next thing.
Hard agree on all of this. I went a few weeks completely without added sugar just to cut the craving. Since then, for over a year, I've managed to keep my sugar intake pretty moderate. I need to have a good reason to allow myself to eat sugar. Sometimes that reason is birthday cake, sometimes it's just that I really want candy. But I always make sure to ask myself if I just want sugar or if I'm craving something specific. If I just want sugar I won't have it, but if I really crave a mars bar I will.
This video came at the right time for me^^ I've also cut added sugars out of my diet for 2 months now. This experience made me realise that I didn't consume much added sugars beforehand and I never had any cravings or went through a withdrawal period (which was surprising). And I definitely agree that an overly restrictive diet can come with repercussions! Food should still be enjoyable after all.
I did the same and have recently asked myself the same question. I’ve decided to eat the foods when I feel like them, and stay sugar free in between as it still comes naturally to me.
I used to be vegetarian and now I’m vegan and I unconsciously cut out sugar, not completely but I didn’t eat a lot of sugary stuff and one day it just hit me - “why am I rarely snacking on anything sweet?” I didn’t even realise it and never really thought about it but it does have benefits.
tried this once when I was younger. cut back sugars and chips. it was interesting how the food I used to love started tasting a bit weird after a while of not eating it. but later on as I go back to eating them again I went back to having frequent cravings.
I think it’s absolutely OK to enjoy a slice of cake now and then not the whole cake for sure.. Having to eat your favourite foods is also a way of enjoying life that makes us feel alive. I would rather allow myself to have one or two sweets occasionally than always being too strict on myself, plus, all foods need to consume in moderation. If you are eating more than it should, even the healthiest foods won’t be healthy anymore. ❤
Girl u are crazy ! I definitely see results like wow you’ve slimmed down and your face looks toned and amazing . You should definitely add some weight training to tie together and you will look amazing.
i cut out added sugar and it helped me A Lot. nobody is saying to restrict (unless you absolutely need to) 100% but let's not pretend that eating so much processed sugars (which btw is encouraged by our society) is good for you when it's not. moderation is key.
I'm a food addict. I had to quit sugar because I can't eat just a little. 10 years later, it was the best thing I ever did! But each person is different.
As someone who is allergic to so much stuff that i can't eat foods that I used to love I personally do find the benifits of not having my favorite foods and feeling way better and being heathier 100% worth it
I did something similar where I cut off all sugar and fast food and I ended up with huge amounts of food guilt for food in general and some binge eating habits. Completely messed up my relationship with food and nourishing myself 🙃
Yeah same, I did cut off sugar for a while and I would have the discipline to do it again, but I think eating sugar may be healthier than living with the stress of food guilt or developing an eating disorder
Moderation is key. You can maintain a healthy diet and still enjoy sweet and sugary things, just in small quantities once or twice a month and you'll be good. You can have a bite or two to satisfy the craving and that's enough. Or at least that's what worked for me.
I once thought that was sugar free for more than a month. But I had to face an ugly truth when I found out that most of restaurant foods and even healthy products have sugar in it 😭 EVEN RICE! So, the only way to avoid sugar is to know the composition of the product and to cook yourself all the time🥲
I get the sentiment of enjoying life. But Imma keep going with the no added sugar till I die expect for special occasions. I'd rather live longer. After going so long without it, I got used to it and can do just fine without. I never really had much of a sweet tooth to start with though, so that helps. We only get one body. To each their own though :)
Remember that once a behavior becomes a need, It is no longer healthy for you mentally and you should seek support. So many different eating disorders start with a “diet” Not saying diets are evil, I am just putting a warning as someone who has dealt with eating disorders for a few years Stay safe ❤ Amazing video btw :)
I’ve done it too! Honestly the benefits were so good though that I keep wanting to do it again. It is really hard since most things contain some amount of sugar.
Sometimes your favourite food is just a chemical addiction and once it’s broken is no longer your favourite food. I definitely don’t think I’m missing out having very little sugar
I agree! Natural sugars like fruit are good enough for me. That other sugar shit they put in soda, cereal, literally ALL of the processed food on the shelves makes me wanna 🤮🤮🤮
yeah i recently recovered from an ed and i would skip breakfast and lunch and only have dinner because my parents would have said something if i hadn’t eaten my dinner. i also didn’t eat any of my siblings birthday cakes and i would check for any added sugars on anything
Facts. I used to consume a scary amount of sugar. It was at the point I was concerned for my health and my teeth at age 15. I started cutting out sugar slowly. Adding less sugar to hot drinks and cereals until I got to the point where I wasn't adding any and was actually enjoying the meal. But I would still have added sugar now and again by having a mcflurry here and there. Sadly I'm back at the starting point 😅
I have family members with diabetes and we have to go with no/low sugar. Would you ever make a video of what you could eat when you cut out sugar for those people? We are struggling!
I completely agree, I started with clean keto for 3 months and now I've been doing dirty keto for the past 2 months. Clean keto was hard to sustain but dirty keto made me feel like I can do low carb lifestyle for the rest of my life while still indulging in sweets every once in a while. The plus from the past half a year of doing keto and low carb was that I don't get any sugar cravings. I see cake or desserts and don't feel anything. I also started to hate pasta and rice because I'll get mildly nauseous for an hour if I eat them which further helped reinforce my low carb lifestyle. My skins good, I feel good, and I healed my relationship with food through the process. I don't feel guilty if I do indulge, because I don't binge eat anymore, and I also understand that low carb lifestyle is a long term thing for me, so the long term cancels out the days where I do have fun with sweet foods :)
I was confused thinking, wait but wouldn't the two options go together in this context? Live longer or enjoy whatever food you want makes more sense here.
do you have any tips to stop sugar cravings? i would be down to avoid added sugars but i can’t help myself and i always let in to those sugar cravings even though i know it’s not good for me 😭
1.5 year ago I starte to git sugar and I was dreaming about a donut. Yesterday I ate one and couldn't even finish it, it was too sweet and honestly it is so amazing how much things changed
I totally understand the craving sugar less. I went on a sugar diet for 3 yrs and like you said, it kinda just becomes habit (I’m off it now too). What’s the food/drink you missed the most during that one year?
Life is too short not to have your favorite food and drinks, but your life might be shorter if you have too much of them, assuming they’re not healthy to have a lot of. I’m trying to have less sugar and dairy.It’s a struggle and I’m addicted, and it’s a slow process.I’m trying to learn to not have it, so that later I can enjoy it once in a while without being addicted.Coffee and boba drinks are my addiction right now, and I really want to lose more weight.
Oh my gosh girl!!! Where is that from?!? I've been wanting to try fun drinks like that!! And I've really been craving good bubble tea, now I'm jealous 😭😅
Once you start cutting it back it became easier. Now chocolates and packaged drinks taste too sweet for my liking. But i still consume sugar in a healthy amount. Like when i eat something very sweet like cakes, i balance it out with unsweetened tea or coffee. Sweets and sugary products sold in supermarkets has way too much sugar for your own good. Even if we're not talking about weight loss or diet, please consider the risk of diabetes
Sometimes I'm trying to stop eat sugar included food, but it's so hard! I can relieve my stress after work only by cup of tea with big sweet dessert. But I'm sure this is not healthy. So for ended up with sugar I have to find a better way to relieve stress.
I believe there is equilibrium. I eat sweet stuff one in a while (mainly because I enjoy oyher flavors more than sweet), but it's totally fine eating your birthday cake, a hot chocolate in a chill morning or a hard candy just because.
I did the same for about a year, it was the only thing that ever got rid of my acne. It also fixed other hormonal problems with my cycle. Now I‘m eating sweets again but never had acne again. Since my body can‘t gain weight due to my metabolism, sugar attacks literally every cell of my body.
I did this, now natural sugars like fruit are good enough for me. That other sugar shit they put in soda, cereal, literally ALL of the food on the shelves makes me wanna 🤮🤮🤮
I only eat sugar when it matters now. Like birthday cakes, or when it's been awhile since I had my favourite pie, or when I get my occassional boba and ice cream. The rest I try without sugar or I use stevia (usually for cooking savoury food, or for my tea when I go too long without something sweet and want it but dont feel like eating cake, or diet coke).
I'm 24 and my entire life has been a repetitive endless battle with sugar which has always ended up in failure. Now I have come to the conclusion that it's awfully impossible in this world to live sugar free since everything has sugar. When I eat dessert now I have to restrict the entire day cuz sugar takes up a lot of calories and it doesn't leave room for more so everything is a sacrifice for me.
Try to focus on nutrient density instead of calories. If you eat more nutritious food it's much easier for the body to process calories, so you'll be healthier in weight and overall despite sugar!
@@pandapanda246 CICO will always be factual and nothing will let you “process more calories” or “process calories” in a way that lets you overindulge with no consequences. but making sure to only have sugar after nutrient dense lower calorie & lower carb meals of lean protein, vegetables and healthy fat will help you control cravings much better
please don’t focus on calories and restricting them. it’s not a healthy mindset to have with food. I ended up developing an ED because of it and working through that is so so incredibly difficult and not worth it. If you’re wanting to improve shape/ become fitter/ healthier focus on working out and eating EVERYTHING as in all food groups, cutting out sugar won’t solve ur problems and restricting only makes you feel uncomfortable, hungry and hyper focused on food. Please work on your relationship with food and stop counting calories❤️
@@mmmmmmmmaria yeah thats not what i meant. I realise I did not express that well, but I didn't say it let's you process more calories, I said it let's you process better. Digestive strength and metabolic health do depend on nutrient density of food because the body needs nutrients to make Enzymes, antioxidants, regulate hormones, blood sugar, pretty much everything. I did not want to endorse overindulging in sugar, ever. Too much sugar is always harmful. What I was trying to say is that a person that eats nutrient dense food is healthier than a person who eats food low in nutrients independent of sugar intake so nutrients should be prioritised over calories. It's better to eat 100 calories worth of pumpkin puree than a hundred calories worth of candy. Even 20g of sugar in Pumpkin is the better option than 20g of sugar in candy because it comes with a bunch of fiber, vitamins, minerals etc
I recently learned I have some health issues and have to change my diet. I eat mostly healthy at home, smaller portions, intermittent fast and exercise. Trying to reverse health issues. I will still eat my favorite foods, but in small portions and occasionally (especially at special events, holiday's etc where food brings people together).
Latest video on how I boosted my metabolism: th-cam.com/video/Mf-nVDUYfSY/w-d-xo.html

I didn’t eat my dads wedding cake, I left my girlfriends birthday early to avoid the dinner, and hid muffins my grandma made for me in my sleeves. I regret it all beyond what words can describe now. Cooking is a love language and my own fears pushed that love away. I’m not fully there yet, but that regret keeps me from wanting to feel like this again.

I went sugar free for 7 months for health reasons....... I CAN GUARANTEE YOU...... That's the BEST FEELING u'll ever feel. I felt Super Light, Refreshed with Happy tummy and weight melts like butter even without exercising....
But before that one has to DEFEAT the monster👹 called CARVING , that's the Ultimate Enemy.
Did you cut sugar 100%? You didn't cheat for example on your birthday
“Would you rather live 7 years longer or never eat your favorite food again”
Ma’am, I hope I don’t spend another week on this planet, just give me that bowl of ramen
This made me burst out laughing at 4 am. Thank you so much. Every time I find hope for 'the future' I get all healthy. And then I am like: Yeah, I'll have 4 hot chocolates, then a whole chocolate, chocolate cake too and mm...some soda. It's a great plan and tomorrow will never come.
Eh but I’m sure you’d rather not die a debilitating and painful death, right? When people say they’d rather die sooner for foods that will cause such an end they often ignore the fact that, usually when you die as a result of this unhealthy food, you die from painful diseases like cancers and whatnot. Think about it!
@@midapita …I don’t know if you’re assuming my health status (which is good, I’m athletic and my BMI is exactly 18.5), or generally commenting on the random unhealthy person who might see my comment and agree, but this was just a joke, and I’m sure you know there’s a difference between never ever eating your favorite unhealthy food and eating only that
After that, I agree with you, but because I’ve struggled with food problems I felt the need to clarify
I’d definitely rather NOT live that extra 7 years lol. Like if the difference is I live to age 95 instead of 88? Like idc man gimme the ice cream
I try to cut out added sugar mon-thurs. makes the weekends more enjoyable 😊
wait this is much more sustainable for me, can’t believe i haven’t considered it. thank you!
This is a great idea, I think I’ll give it a shot too! Thanks 😊
Nice idea
I do this. It 100% works.
I had a similar experience, I went sugar free for a few months, my skin cleared up I felt more energetic. Then when It came to having a sweet treat it tasted different and I enjoyed it more and didn’t over indulge because things taste better when you haven’t had it in a while… and now I don’t get as many sugar cravings so I don’t regret it at the end of the day, it was great experience I would recommend if you think you have too much sugar :)
I will do that 😊for march. I will cute ANY SUGAR .
WE WILL SEE the result
i was diagnosed with type A biabetic a few weeks ago along with pcos not to mention I'm extremely overweight too. Hence my doctor specifically told me not to consume sugar at any circumstances lol it's hard when you're asian with tea addiction. but I'm trying my best haven't had sugar since last week. i thought it'd be much more hard but once you set your mind and goal it gets tolerable ig. to everyone out there trying their Best, you can do it!!!
Have your tea unsweetened and accompany your tea time with homemade cakes or treats 💖
Lol taehyung's bestie
Add honey to your tea
Did you still eat rice?
@@n0ne121 i do, it's our staple food and I'm obsessed with rice😭
My mom has been sugar free for almost 7 years, although I could personally never do that, she’s very happy with her diet and this video is very inspiring.
Our family cut out on the amout of sugar we consume.
Now everything taste crazy sweet to all of us, so we cant buy a lot of things we used too bcs it taste way too sweet.
We also dont really consume frizzy drinks anymore, we get these only when eating out which once a month.
Honestly it isnt that bad or hard to do. Just little by little have less sugar, best thing is to start by stopping having things like cola and then move on to the next thing.
Hard agree on all of this. I went a few weeks completely without added sugar just to cut the craving. Since then, for over a year, I've managed to keep my sugar intake pretty moderate. I need to have a good reason to allow myself to eat sugar. Sometimes that reason is birthday cake, sometimes it's just that I really want candy. But I always make sure to ask myself if I just want sugar or if I'm craving something specific. If I just want sugar I won't have it, but if I really crave a mars bar I will.
I know this is random, but i really love your hands, they are really pretty 😊
I can't even focus on what you said because I was busy focusing on the drinks 🤣🤣
This video came at the right time for me^^ I've also cut added sugars out of my diet for 2 months now. This experience made me realise that I didn't consume much added sugars beforehand and I never had any cravings or went through a withdrawal period (which was surprising). And I definitely agree that an overly restrictive diet can come with repercussions! Food should still be enjoyable after all.
I quit sugar several moths ago and it's one of the best decisions ever
I did the same and have recently asked myself the same question. I’ve decided to eat the foods when I feel like them, and stay sugar free in between as it still comes naturally to me.
I used to be vegetarian and now I’m vegan and I unconsciously cut out sugar, not completely but I didn’t eat a lot of sugary stuff and one day it just hit me - “why am I rarely snacking on anything sweet?” I didn’t even realise it and never really thought about it but it does have benefits.
tried this once when I was younger. cut back sugars and chips. it was interesting how the food I used to love started tasting a bit weird after a while of not eating it. but later on as I go back to eating them again I went back to having frequent cravings.
I think it’s absolutely OK to enjoy a slice of cake now and then not the whole cake for sure.. Having to eat your favourite foods is also a way of enjoying life that makes us feel alive. I would rather allow myself to have one or two sweets occasionally than always being too strict on myself, plus, all foods need to consume in moderation. If you are eating more than it should, even the healthiest foods won’t be healthy anymore. ❤
Over eating sugar will take years off your life but cutting it out completely won’t necessarily add any! Moderation is key!
She said added sugar
Girl u are crazy ! I definitely see results like wow you’ve slimmed down and your face looks toned and amazing . You should definitely add some weight training to tie together and you will look amazing.
i cut out added sugar and it helped me A Lot. nobody is saying to restrict (unless you absolutely need to) 100% but let's not pretend that eating so much processed sugars (which btw is encouraged by our society) is good for you when it's not. moderation is key.
I'm a food addict. I had to quit sugar because I can't eat just a little. 10 years later, it was the best thing I ever did! But each person is different.
What drinks are these?? They look so good
It looks all soo delicious! 🤤
As someone who is allergic to so much stuff that i can't eat foods that I used to love I personally do find the benifits of not having my favorite foods and feeling way better and being heathier 100% worth it
That boba looks so good!!
I had to watch it 5 times
Every time the Boba drinks made me drool
I did something similar where I cut off all sugar and fast food and I ended up with huge amounts of food guilt for food in general and some binge eating habits. Completely messed up my relationship with food and nourishing myself 🙃
Yeah same, I did cut off sugar for a while and I would have the discipline to do it again, but I think eating sugar may be healthier than living with the stress of food guilt or developing an eating disorder
I get it self control is hard but discipline is built so no excuses if you wanna start you go people
‘Would you rather live several years longer or never eat your favourite food again???’
Definitely live several years longer😂
Yeah I think she misspoke there 😅
Lmao this was exactly my thought, that makes no sense
Thank you! Looked for this comment lol
Honored to be the first. Wishing you the best😘☺️
Moderation is key. You can maintain a healthy diet and still enjoy sweet and sugary things, just in small quantities once or twice a month and you'll be good. You can have a bite or two to satisfy the craving and that's enough. Or at least that's what worked for me.
I once thought that was sugar free for more than a month. But I had to face an ugly truth when I found out that most of restaurant foods and even healthy products have sugar in it 😭 EVEN RICE! So, the only way to avoid sugar is to know the composition of the product and to cook yourself all the time🥲
Yes gotta cook yourself. Sad truth if we dont care for our health no one else will.
I get the sentiment of enjoying life. But Imma keep going with the no added sugar till I die expect for special occasions. I'd rather live longer. After going so long without it, I got used to it and can do just fine without. I never really had much of a sweet tooth to start with though, so that helps. We only get one body. To each their own though :)
Remember that once a behavior becomes a need, It is no longer healthy for you mentally and you should seek support. So many different eating disorders start with a “diet”
Not saying diets are evil, I am just putting a warning as someone who has dealt with eating disorders for a few years
Stay safe ❤
Amazing video btw :)
I’ve done it too! Honestly the benefits were so good though that I keep wanting to do it again. It is really hard since most things contain some amount of sugar.
Sometimes your favourite food is just a chemical addiction and once it’s broken is no longer your favourite food. I definitely don’t think I’m missing out having very little sugar
So true. There's several things that once I tried some a while later, I no longer liked it.
I agree! Natural sugars like fruit are good enough for me. That other sugar shit they put in soda, cereal, literally ALL of the processed food on the shelves makes me wanna 🤮🤮🤮
omg you are so pretty :(((
Amazing!! and I totally agree
yeah i recently recovered from an ed and i would skip breakfast and lunch and only have dinner because my parents would have said something if i hadn’t eaten my dinner. i also didn’t eat any of my siblings birthday cakes and i would check for any added sugars on anything
I need of these bobas they look so delicious
Where is this boba shop, unless it’s from your house in which case, where did you get the stuff from?
They all look so good
all this cream on the drinks make me crave them so much rn
Facts. I used to consume a scary amount of sugar. It was at the point I was concerned for my health and my teeth at age 15. I started cutting out sugar slowly. Adding less sugar to hot drinks and cereals until I got to the point where I wasn't adding any and was actually enjoying the meal. But I would still have added sugar now and again by having a mcflurry here and there. Sadly I'm back at the starting point 😅
Ok im seeing you after a long time and I LOVE your hair!
I have family members with diabetes and we have to go with no/low sugar. Would you ever make a video of what you could eat when you cut out sugar for those people? We are struggling!
And honestly, I would prefer living a happy life than a long one 💖💖
I love your hair the blond and the black it looks so stylish.
having benefitted so much from keto (to control my chronic conditions) i would definitely advocate people to adopt some practices of keto/low carb
do you still practice that or have you gotten off it?
I completely agree, I started with clean keto for 3 months and now I've been doing dirty keto for the past 2 months. Clean keto was hard to sustain but dirty keto made me feel like I can do low carb lifestyle for the rest of my life while still indulging in sweets every once in a while. The plus from the past half a year of doing keto and low carb was that I don't get any sugar cravings. I see cake or desserts and don't feel anything. I also started to hate pasta and rice because I'll get mildly nauseous for an hour if I eat them which further helped reinforce my low carb lifestyle. My skins good, I feel good, and I healed my relationship with food through the process. I don't feel guilty if I do indulge, because I don't binge eat anymore, and I also understand that low carb lifestyle is a long term thing for me, so the long term cancels out the days where I do have fun with sweet foods :)
Every time she eats It looks so satisfying 😂
“Live several years longer or never eat your favorite food again” hmm I wonder
Was trying to see if anyone else caught that
I was confused thinking, wait but wouldn't the two options go together in this context? Live longer or enjoy whatever food you want makes more sense here.
Amaaaziinggg❤
I'm literally giggling right now because I don't limit myself in the things I eat but I'm broke af so meaning I still have limitations HAHAHAHHHA
do you have any tips to stop sugar cravings? i would be down to avoid added sugars but i can’t help myself and i always let in to those sugar cravings even though i know it’s not good for me 😭
ALL THESE DRINKS LOOK BOMB!! Where is this at?? Someone needs to make the at home versions!!
1.5 year ago I starte to git sugar and I was dreaming about a donut. Yesterday I ate one and couldn't even finish it, it was too sweet and honestly it is so amazing how much things changed
I totally understand the craving sugar less.
I went on a sugar diet for 3 yrs and like you said, it kinda just becomes habit (I’m off it now too). What’s the food/drink you missed the most during that one year?
Life is too short not to have your favorite food and drinks, but your life might be shorter if you have too much of them, assuming they’re not healthy to have a lot of. I’m trying to have less sugar and dairy.It’s a struggle and I’m addicted, and it’s a slow process.I’m trying to learn to not have it, so that later I can enjoy it once in a while without being addicted.Coffee and boba drinks are my addiction right now, and I really want to lose more weight.
Where is this place?!?!?!
oof the ube one looks like perfection in a cup
I’m going sugar free, but when my sisters bday comes around I’m definitely having a slice of cake
I stopped having sugar for a while as well. It was hard to have anything with sugar after that.
Oh my gosh girl!!! Where is that from?!? I've been wanting to try fun drinks like that!! And I've really been craving good bubble tea, now I'm jealous 😭😅
Cool imma try this cya in a year
I currently weigh 6 and a half :)
Once you start cutting it back it became easier. Now chocolates and packaged drinks taste too sweet for my liking. But i still consume sugar in a healthy amount. Like when i eat something very sweet like cakes, i balance it out with unsweetened tea or coffee.
Sweets and sugary products sold in supermarkets has way too much sugar for your own good. Even if we're not talking about weight loss or diet, please consider the risk of diabetes
Look at the smile on her face in start🥺
I don’t know how this is possible when literally almost every single thing you eat contains sugar/sugars..
I want to do this so bad, but my parents probably won't let me :(((
Short but it's also the longest thing everyone has
We used to have a moge tee in our town until the pandemic and I miss it so damn much
Sometimes I'm trying to stop eat sugar included food, but it's so hard!
I can relieve my stress after work only by cup of tea with big sweet dessert. But I'm sure this is not healthy. So for ended up with sugar I have to find a better way to relieve stress.
I believe there is equilibrium. I eat sweet stuff one in a while (mainly because I enjoy oyher flavors more than sweet), but it's totally fine eating your birthday cake, a hot chocolate in a chill morning or a hard candy just because.
This may be a dumb question but u said u gave up added sugars. What about things with natural sugars like fruits for example, were those given up too?
I did the same for about a year, it was the only thing that ever got rid of my acne. It also fixed other hormonal problems with my cycle. Now I‘m eating sweets again but never had acne again. Since my body can‘t gain weight due to my metabolism, sugar attacks literally every cell of my body.
I just wanted to ask, if we don't eat sugar then won't our sugar level become low ?
What boba shop is that?
Would you eat fruits since technically some fruits have sugar in it?
I did this, now natural sugars like fruit are good enough for me. That other sugar shit they put in soda, cereal, literally ALL of the food on the shelves makes me wanna 🤮🤮🤮
I only eat sugar when it matters now. Like birthday cakes, or when it's been awhile since I had my favourite pie, or when I get my occassional boba and ice cream. The rest I try without sugar or I use stevia (usually for cooking savoury food, or for my tea when I go too long without something sweet and want it but dont feel like eating cake, or diet coke).
I'm 24 and my entire life has been a repetitive endless battle with sugar which has always ended up in failure. Now I have come to the conclusion that it's awfully impossible in this world to live sugar free since everything has sugar. When I eat dessert now I have to restrict the entire day cuz sugar takes up a lot of calories and it doesn't leave room for more so everything is a sacrifice for me.
Try to focus on nutrient density instead of calories. If you eat more nutritious food it's much easier for the body to process calories, so you'll be healthier in weight and overall despite sugar!
@@pandapanda246 CICO will always be factual and nothing will let you “process more calories” or “process calories” in a way that lets you overindulge with no consequences. but making sure to only have sugar after nutrient dense lower calorie & lower carb meals of lean protein, vegetables and healthy fat will help you control cravings much better
please don’t focus on calories and restricting them. it’s not a healthy mindset to have with food. I ended up developing an ED because of it and working through that is so so incredibly difficult and not worth it. If you’re wanting to improve shape/ become fitter/ healthier focus on working out and eating EVERYTHING as in all food groups, cutting out sugar won’t solve ur problems and restricting only makes you feel uncomfortable, hungry and hyper focused on food. Please work on your relationship with food and stop counting calories❤️
@@mmmmmmmmaria yeah thats not what i meant. I realise I did not express that well, but I didn't say it let's you process more calories, I said it let's you process better. Digestive strength and metabolic health do depend on nutrient density of food because the body needs nutrients to make Enzymes, antioxidants, regulate hormones, blood sugar, pretty much everything. I did not want to endorse overindulging in sugar, ever. Too much sugar is always harmful. What I was trying to say is that a person that eats nutrient dense food is healthier than a person who eats food low in nutrients independent of sugar intake so nutrients should be prioritised over calories. It's better to eat 100 calories worth of pumpkin puree than a hundred calories worth of candy. Even 20g of sugar in Pumpkin is the better option than 20g of sugar in candy because it comes with a bunch of fiber, vitamins, minerals etc
Quitted sugar for like a month, tried ice cream for the first time and it was SOOOO sweet. I couldn’t do what she’s doing
Did u still eat carbo and fruits? Bcs those have glucose too
Good point. How do you not have the headaches though without taking medication when you have sugar? 😭
Did it really make you go on a sugar binge tho 🙃
Could you finish all the boba😬🌝?
I recently learned I have some health issues and have to change my diet. I eat mostly healthy at home, smaller portions, intermittent fast and exercise. Trying to reverse health issues. I will still eat my favorite foods, but in small portions and occasionally (especially at special events, holiday's etc where food brings people together).
It’s not about living longer. It’s about quality of life while your alive. I’d rather limit my sugar then become diabetic
