I’ve been addicted to smoking, alcohol and multiple other drugs, and after quitting everything a while ago my bulimia went through the roof. My food addiction was the worst addiction i’ve ever experienced and i found it way harder to quit than alcohol and drugs. This video actually made me emotional. It explains all my struggles and now there’s finally a way out. Been keto for the past month and i’m already seeing so much progress. Thinking about going carnivore for a while now. Thank you so much for spreading this information, you’re amazing
I find Carnivore is easier if you have an eating disorder. Keto can be a slippery slope..for me anyway
Carnivore plus intermittent fasting is a match made in heaven. Recommend start with omitting breakfast, so TMAD. Then transition to OMAD. Bliss!
Here in the UK my doctor is still puzzled at how my blood pressure has dropped to normal, I told him I stopped sugar and he brushed it off, I was shocked that he wasn't interested in hearing that and he kept on talking about medication, this showed me that even doctors need to understand this sugar and carbs issue.
Most doctors do not want to listen and are not open to addressing diet, they're interested in pushing the pills. I'm a Brit who lives in the States. Very common here, that a doctor won't address diet, they go straight onto the topic of medication which of course only masks the problem. I've had it happen personally, only when I have pushed the issue of food they may reluctantly discuss it. Very strange.
This happened regarding my cholesterol level, doctor wanted me to go on a Statin. He said nothing, absolutely Nothing about food or what I was eating. Crazy! I see another doctor for autoimmune disease, same thing. Never brought up the topic of food, or discuss diet etc. They would only offer some input when I mentioned it.
These doctors will not volunteer Information regarding diet or any other kind of "alternative" treatment or healing method.
It really is up to us to be proactive and find solutions.
Good luck on your journey.
I'm getting back on the wagon so to speak regarding getting away from sugar and carbs. I find it difficult to stick with long term. And so I go through phases. I definitely have a problem regarding sweets and carbs.
Check out Dr David Unwin in the UK👍👍🎓
Especially Doctors, not “even docs”.
Me too. And I sleep well which further causes blood pressure drop. Surreal. In fact I have been able to fast because I don't feel hungry. Holy moly.
Not “even” doctors, especially doctors!!!
Wow! So for years I have thought I was addicted to FOOD and it pissed me off. I thought if I were an alcoholic I could just stop drinking and be fine. In fact, I know that the "treatment" for alcoholism is to stop drinking completely, not just cut back. Makes perfect sense and it pisses me off that diets just tell me to cut back. You would never tell an alcoholic to drink just a little bit. I always wished that I could just stop eating. Period. But I know I would eventually die. Turns out I am not addicted to FOOD. I am addicted to CARBS. I can just stop eating carbs forever. I won't die without carbs. Great video Dr. Cywes. Thank you.
im in the same boat. I am up at 5:00 am eating loads of toast. i need to get rid of this carb addiction somehow.
@@themaster-jp6sp Abstinence is the key to serenity.
EXCELLENT...information delivered in a way that people can understand.
This gentleman needs to stand on the roof tops and shout his message..Well done..🤠👍
help to share the message
@@DrCywesCarbAddictionDoc You are blessed sir... The truth speaks for itself..thank you..🤠👍
Obesity is a substance-abuse problem it is not a calorie problem. An obese person is a person with a mental health issue.
I keep repeating “find another way” (to manage my emotions and stay away from carbs) on a daily basis. It works.
@@markfox3083 You need to educate yourself sir.. That is an untrue statement..😂🤣
@@6fiddy309 It is imho physical and mental.
Wow… Part 2 hit harder than Part 1. She says self righteously… “I would ever take drugs or any substance that is detrimental to my body”…. What a wake up call to learn that my addiction to carbs is my drug of choice. As for the mental health issues… the less said the better 😩. I feel as though I have just gotten off the couch after a counselling session. Now to find new ways of coping with my emotional baggage instead of self soothing with ‘feel good’ carbs. The worse part is you don’t feel good for long, then along comes disappointment, guilt and shame for failing yet again. I need my health back now!💪🏾
Hey, how are you getting on now?
@@morphosis7655 Doing much better tks. It hasn’t been easy, especially with a bereavement added to the mix, but my carbs now mostly consists of a few veggies here and there. The weight is slowly coming down and I’m generally feeling better about what I’m consuming on a daily basis.
@@mem2896 sorry for your loss 🙏. Glad to hear you are heading in the right direction.
Your read my mind on this one and I agreed with all you said. Yes part 2 was definitely hitting the nail on the head. Wish I’d hear this 20 yrs ago…but better late than never. Best wishes.
“Obesity is a substance abuse problem” wow so true. I’ve been employed at a drug/ alcohol rehab for 7 years now. Many patients don’t understand that their drug of choice is not the problem it is a symptom of the problem. Many of the patients are surprised that I can relate to their emotional and mental experiences with addiction although I don’t drink and have never used drugs. The mental mechanism driving the addiction are the same although how it’s expressed in each individual is different. We will typically have a hierarchy of multiple addictions as well.
Sugar is on top of all. They set an experiment on rats made choose between cocaine and sugar. What`d you think they went for )
Sugar, cocaine, PORN---it's all the same: substances that enslave and ruin lives.
Carbs are actually the worst addiction in the nation, with porn a close second. Of course, no one watches it, but somehow, it's a billion dollar "industry."

Dr. Robert Cywes. My name is Juan Pablo Roig. I am a psychiatrist in Brazil and work with drug addictions since 2007. I have to congratulate you for this perfect video. I wil show it to my patients. I totaly agree with all of your topics. Thanks for your perfect class and for shearing all your knowledge. This video is of grate value to all health area personal and for general public.
So glad dr Ken Berry mentioned your name and said to listen all your videos. Thank you Doc
"Carbohydrates are a non-essential 'food' and a highly endorphin-stimulating DRUG." This just cuts through all the B.S. in one fell swoop. Nearly three weeks into carnivore (after dabbling a little with it intermittently before), and feeling more in touch with true hunger signals than ever. Shedding excess weight with more ease than any other approach. Just subscribed and look forward to learning from you Dr Cywes.
Agreed 100%
Cord11ful, being a year out, may I ask how you did with cutting or eliminating carbs?
Being 2 years out from your comment, did you die or fall off the diet? Seeing that two years later and you still haven’t replied to the other person’s comment I’ll assume you died.
Amen! After giving up sugar and carbs I honestly have to now conciously eat to keep my weight at this level. First time in my life. The last person I’d go to for weight ( or health) advice is my PCP. Fooey.
Thank you for not demonizing sugar addiction and recognizing the stressful nature of modern life that leads to carb addiction
Amen!
He does confirm it's destructive to our health , many die young from carb addiction, I would have , please don't lose that part of the message , his core point
"Change the mind, and the body will follow" is the best philosophy for a weight loss camp.
Wow. I 1000% agree with that. www.thegabrielmethod.com/
In case of emergency it can happen the other way around ....... like inside so outside
Did it that way 😄
Man oh man, part 2 is even better than part 1. Thank you for this. I'm really enjoying watching this as I eat my steak, just steak, for dinner!
What no eggs?
@@crazehayes1 And no raw milk?
Asparagus spears. Don't forget the asparagus spears. They go great with a nice fat juicy medium steak.

My excess weight was the result of bad information more than anything else. As soon as I learned the science behind keto and intermittent fasting, I started trying to implement them immediately, and I started seeing major results after the first two weeks. I would have done it years ago if I simply had the right information. I was told to eat plenty of grains, to eat low amounts of fat to get healthy, and that calories in/calories out was the only thing that mattered. This is what I was told by the government, by doctors, by nutritionists, etc., and it turned out to be wrong. All it took was learning the actual truth for me to make a change.
So was I !!!!!!!!!!!!!!
my experience too.
Yes. Me too. Couldn’t agree with your statement any more.
Same here.
We were lied to on a governmental level and a World wide level. With internet we connect with people like me who have lost weight easily, got rid of fatty liver and heaps more energy 🤗🇦🇺❤Love sharing truth n facts. I cook once a day. It's so convenient to OMAD
Thank you Dr Cywes!
13:15 "the primary reason that diets fail; they give you access to your drug of choice and ask you to control it".
Yes, that is it in a nutshell. 40 years of dieting eventually taught me that it wasn't me that failed, it was the advice.
"Everything in moderation" - WRONG! ....if it includes the substances you are addicted to.
"balanced diet" - WRONG! '.....if it includes unnecessary carbohydrates.
"eat all food groups" - WRONG! ......if it assumes that carbohydrates are an essential food group.
When I eventually decided to try low carb I had no expectation it would work but it did, and I quickly switched into keto, lowing carbs to less than 20, sometimes a lot less. That was 4 years ago and I still practice this way of eating. Why? It works for someone who has an addictive response to carbs.
Life is good now and I am happier and healthier in my 50's than ever when younger and constantly struggling/failing on diets. My retirement beckons and I am grateful to be physically/emotionally healthy (no medications or ill health) and also dentally healthy (no work of any kind needed for most of those 4 years, my dentist is very impressed and last time I had my 6 monthly checkup he stated "your teeth are perfect". Job done imo and a lot of money saved over those years in medical/dental bills.
Well said.
This deserves far more than 76,000 views. 760,000 views wouldn't be enough
Now that I've lost about 80 pounds using Low Carb and Intermittent Fasting and I'm a normal weight, I've found that if I eat too many Carbs in a meal, my insulin spikes and 1 to 2 hours later I feel hungry. However, it's not real hunger, but low blood sugar. This is a worse feeling of hunger than normal hunger. On the other hand, if I eat a meal with mostly fat and protein, hours after eating, I'm not hungry. I only wish our society understood the problem. Way too many friends, family, and coworkers want to push far too many Carbs on me. I'm sure they don't mean to harm me, but ignorance doesn't stop the harm from coming.
Dr. Cywes, I am binge watching your videos to motivate myself, thank you so much.
Glad you like them!
I have sent this video to like 10 different people in the last year, and every time I send it to them I watch it again myself and it gets better and more resonant each time. Beautiful beautiful off the cuff explanation
Thank you! I have been low carb for 14 months and reversed my T2D. Lately I've been sliding into bad habits. I couldn't figure out why. I hate how I used to feel and still need to lose some weight.
Your video touched me in a way no other low carb doc has been able to. Yes! It's addiction! I cried at some points because it felt like you had looked into my soul and understood.
Please keep shring your message! So many people need you.
I do so appreciate coming across your channel by way of your conversation with Carnivore Yogi. It's rare to find someone who gets to the core of the issues and calls them out for what they are. All that with a brilliant presentation. Looking forward to binge watching your videos this weekend.
Keto set me free from my cravings. It took a little while to get there but it’s been the most effective way to battle my food addiction.
So true. I realized that I would eat certain foods because they relaxed me. Now for the past few months, I'm super low carb, IF and looking for alternate healthier ways to handle stress and relax. I know that like when I used to smoke and could not have just 1 cigarette, I cannot have just 1 cookie, 1 chip, or 1 candy, 1 chocolate bar, cause it will just start my body craving for more. I hated being fat more than I liked sugar and more than I liked carbs, so that has been my motivator
Thank you, i lost 24 lbs last summer and put it back on this winter. Its time to realize im a carb junky. Ilost the weight cutting out carbs and put it back on when i went back to eating them
Very astute observations with intelligent conclusions. Largest part of the elephant described that I have ever heard. Please continue to describe the conflict and resolution of this dilemma. Bravo!!
This was absolutely mind blowing and awakening. I can’t imagine this being explained any better that what this doctor has done. W-O-W
This is by FAR the best explanation of carb addiction I have ever heard. I'm so grateful. My father has been trying to do carnivore for so long but keeps getting sabotages by my Mom who definitely has a carb addiction. I've all but given up on trying to convince them that carbs are the problem.
Absolutely awesome video and help me understand why sometimes I would like some carbs/sweets, etc! I've been on keto/paleo journey for four months and have shed over 30lbs to about 12.5% bodyfat and feel like when I was in college again! For the sake of our humanity, we all need to spread information like this!
This is the best podcast I've ever heard...it all makes sense now.
Obesity is a substance abuse problem. Never thought of it like this. It’s an eye opening statement.
Most articulate way of advocating a good keto diet I have heard. Explanation clear and we are treated like people of equal intelligence. Because we are not doctors it does not mean we cannot understand how a body works if taught correctly. Thank you for teaching me how to teach others. I run facebook.com/groups/LCHFsupportUK/ to try to help others and yes you re posted there.
Boredom. I'm most likely to go cruising the pantry when I'm bored or avoiding doing something I don't want to 🙄
I go for a short brisk walk of about 15 mins while listening to podcasts or books on audible. Works great and takes my mind off food when I am fasting. Through millions of years of evolution, we are engineered to "gorge" whenever there is food. Now, food is aplenty and people gorge. Throw in carbs and unnatural foods and the natural satiety mechanism to stop after reaching satiety is gone. We all know what happens after that.
same here. only solution for me was to throw out most of the crap & not bring it back in the house. easier when you're single.
This was an exceptional explanation, and makes total sence.
OMG, I didn't even realize I sometimes eat to avoid doing something I don't want to do until I read your comment. Eye opener 👀
Same here... eating to avoid
Hi my name is Rusty, I’m a carbaholic
I've had an eating disorder in one form or another since the age of 8. It seems a weird thing to say, but I often wish I were addicted to drugs or alcohol instead. Not that those things are "easier" problems to deal with, but because the solution is abstinence rather than moderation. I think it's therefore helpful for me to be able to take an "abstinence" approach to carbohydrates. I've done keto off and on, and every time I relapse back to carbs, I'm feeling the negative effects of carbs to a greater degree, but I'm still working on internalizing that I suppose. And I have a hard time with the continuously high level of self control I need to say no to carbs, especially in anomalous situations. Anyway, part 1 and 2 were excellent and just what I needed to hear. Alcoholism runs in my family, so I've always been more vigilant about alcohol consumption but I just have other addictions and compulsive behaviors. I look forward to more videos from you!
I’ve been sugar and carb addicted since I was a child exactly as you described. It makes sense that if a young person is marinated in stress growing up the stress-reducing effects described here would start very early in life. I’ve been eating only meat and eggs for the last six weeks and this is the first time in my life I’ve ever been free of the terrible cravings. There are still pressures, but it seems that for some reason, the protein is enough. The mood swings are much better too. When I’m eating keto, I can’t stop allowing myself “safe” sweeteners and eating desserts and fat bombs. It seems that any sweet triggers craving for more. It’s actually a huge relief to be free from the cravings. So much so that I’m considering making it a permanent choice. I look better too because my inflammation is gone. Whatever happens going forward I wish you well.
Same here, been a sweet-ant since childhood, but then it turned into raging alcoholism. It sucks! Carnivore has helped, but I need to be carb free completely, no beer or junk.
🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻
Same here. I know what you mean
From an attachment theory perspective, carbs can be one’s only secure attachment for many, many years. Ask me how I know. 😉 I am finally undoing all this now.
Wow! This was powerful. I have not seen anyone in this space talk about the obesity/metabolic problem in this way. You hit the nail on the head with the substance abuse thing. Thank you for this
WOW as much reading as i have done about carbs, this one hit me between the eyes!
You have to be the wisest man around!
Pure knowledge and logic. What a breath of fresh air this Doctor is...a true example of what a doctor should be. You have my highest respect, sir💛💛💛. Thank youuuuu!
This guy is THE MAN! Unbelievable presentation!
Wow! Never heard anyone put it so crystal clear! Thanks!
I really could’ve used this several years ago.😧 I am the oldest of seven and sad to say I have a few siblings that have extreme addictive personalities. They’re battling alcoholism narcotics abuse etc. And for years and years in reaching out and trying to help them get clean and cleared up I came to the realization that I too am the same with an addictive personality. However my addiction was never to drugs or alcohol but food gave me a “high” that I never recognized until working on my own health journey.
I’ve always been a good cook and like to entertain and make people happy and family gatherings and big events all revolve around food. And it made me happy to please others and make food that they loved for each celebration. And in the process of trying to make everyone else happy I ate my way into sickness.
I started a couple years ago working on my health journey. I’ll be 50 in a few months and I’m determined that in my 50s I will be in better health than I was in my 30s and 40s.
This is literally life saving. Thank you for this Doctor!!
Thank you for this video 1 and 2. I am carnivore but didnt fully understand how it worked to lose weight. This has opened my eyes. And allows me to share the carnivore diet with a better understanding.
Not sure what I love more, your message or your accent. Just kidding, your message is AMAZING. Thank you.
I love how straight forward you are. Americans need some tough love and straight talk, no more sugar coating truth. Truth is truth. Thank you for also giving us ideas to replace sugar when a craving comes on.
Did he give us ideas? Or are you asking him to give us ideas?
Hi...what replacement ideas did he give? I missed that part....Do you mean exercise etc?
I believe right around 8 minutes in he discusses the healthy ways to relax and those are the helpful suggestions.
So you mean: replacing sugar as a endorphin source (behind the 'sugar craving' ) , with other less harmfull sources such as exercise, meditation and the likes?
He says in another video he drinks black coffee for a endorphine craving without calories. Like a bridge to the meal
One of the best video I have ever seen on TH-cam! Thank you for explaining carb addiction in a comprehensive manner!
I basically said the same thing to my dr when I was 18 yrs old. He looked at me like I was crazy. I told him my grandfather was an alcoholic and that I was a carboholic. I am now 63 and thankful I found you. I feel validated. Finally!
This was literally the best video I've ever watched to be educated about anything when it comes to health and nutrition
Have you ever had discussions with Dr Jason Fung; would be interested to hear that dialog.
Wow, what a great video! I found your channel via Dr Boz and I‘ve hit the subscribe button after only watching one of your videos! Love the straight talk...
My first addiction was sugar. I have conquered all the ones that came after. I think the penny just slotted into place tonight. Thank you! And, Dr Berry for recommending your channel.
yes, part 2 really dove into the issue. Loved this
Exactly what i have been thinking for 2 years, you put my thoughts into words perfectly.
OMG, what an excellent explanation! Thank you.
This is brilliantly explained. Thank you for sharing.
Absolutely true! One of the best explanations I have heard. Thank you
WOW So POWERFUL and TRUE. Thank you for your teachings Dr. Cywes. The world needs more people like you.
This is absolutely brilliant, thank you Dr Cwyes
Wow these videos have made me understand the issues I have around food for the first time. Thank you
So glad YT recommended you. This is powerful teaching. Thank you!
Your presentation is spot on. Thank you for bringing awareness.
Thank you thank you thank you. This is huge for me. So much context and understanding, thank you.
Fantastic!! A great presentation of the connection between bonding to the drug carbohydrate even in the face of self harm! Thanks so much!!
Wow. Most powerful message I've heard on dealing with addiction. Thank you
Absolutely amazing. Thank you.
Greatest Video ever on Carbs dieting addiction hands down...the Man is Brilliant ..thanks Dr. Cywes
Such great information. Thank you so much!
Bravo. Just unbelievable explanation. Bravo!
I've listen to a lot of influencer type doctors, here's the best one I found☝️
Well done, My gratitude to you Dr. Cywes.
Excellent! And sooooo right. Thank you for such clear explanation of addiction.
This all makes so much sense. It’s very well-explained.
So beautifully explained! Thank you for all you do!
Thank you Dr. Cywes!
Thank you Dr. Cywes for your generous heart and education, you are helping me on my health journey so very much! Love and many blessings to you and your family🙏🏼🍖🍗🥓🥩💚
I needed this, due to a break up and bad shit in my private life, i abused carbs as well, gained weight, but its so nice to understand why and it is time to get back at it! Thanks Dr. Cywes!
Incredible explanation. Thank you doctor.
Brilliant way of describing this. Really resonated when you look at carbs this way.
Wow, a Dr I can listen to. Not many of your kind can give valuable information for free. Totally agree with every point...
Love love your videos !! Sharing !!
you made me think. wow. life changing info for sure. salute!
Great! Thank you❤ This channel needs to grow massive!
What a brilliant video to watch after part 1 - why isn’t this doctor more well known?! I came across him by chance after watching Dr Berry videos and I’m now catching up on old videos and have subscribed.
I watch a lot of ‘Keto’ videos and part 1 and this one explain carbs and addiction in a way I’ve NEVER heard before. I have a very addictive personality so it all makes perfect sense to me!
This is mind blowing. You put it so simple I can't not understand it!
Great video mate. Very informative and up to date.
I've decided to sub in hope for a good and quality content.
GJ!
Excellent explanation of carbohydrate addiction.
Thank you for your intention of helping others with your knowledge, kindness and compassion.
You are a great doctor. My favourite now
What a brilliant explanation!!!! I wish I had heard this 40 years ago. I am a raging carb addict, capable of eating carbs until I literally get sick. I started doing keto several years ago and lost over 120 pounds. I’m happy doing keto for life, but it is still very difficult around the holidays, when I go “off the wagon” to indulge in holiday foods. Getting back on that wagon is hard!
Love your explanations, thank you.
Spitting the harsh truth. Thank you for this, Dr.
BIG THANK YOU. For All Shared.❤. I LEARN ALOT and Start Making Better Choices.
I have learned so much from you and Dr Ken Berry. Thank you 🙏
Thank you!! For stating truth! I am addicted to carbs and sugar. I have never heard anyone talk about it. What you have spoken ,I have known about myself for years. Thank you!
Thank you so much for this clear message. After I had listened to you I now need to go to the trash can and get rid of a few things. Please keep speaking clearly with us without beating around the bush.
Thus the term; comfort food. They're carb addicts. Comfort food for me has always been meat, eggs, and cheese. Thank God I found these dr's that have taught me to eat these healthy foods. I'm getting the body I want and feel better overall. Thank you, Dr. C!
I know this was posted TWO years ago, but I needed to watch this NOW!!
Thank you for explaining this! I appreciate the information so much!!
Great information. Thanks
Thank you for this video!!!
This video was awesome. Especially the clear explanation of what carbs do to the body. The addiction it causes. I fully understand the large pull it has, and for my sake, I really do need to stay keto. I am satisfied when I've had a keto meal. I don't even think about any food items I have in the kitchen. Thanks for the excel video. I've sent it other pics to give them the true perspective on carbs, weight gain and addiction.
Hello, I just subbed after your first video, you make alot of sense. Carbs are so very addictive e, giving up cigarettes years ago,was very difficult but,giving up carbs is just as bad.i honestly would rather have a bagel than a steak.i just have to deal with it. It's not really a big deal,just have to get rid of the 8pds I gained I win be back to 118!take care be safe.😊
