THIS HAPPENS IF YOU STOP EATING SUGAR FOR 15 days - Dr Carlos

- I'm Dr. Carlos and today I want to talk about the effects of quitting sugar for 15 days. I've seen many patients struggle with withdrawal symptoms when they try to give up sugar because sugar is highly addictive, even more so when it's consumed regularly. You may not even realize you consume sugar daily because it's hidden in many foods, such as sauces, bread, and crackers. In this video, I'll explain the changes you may notice in your body after quitting sugar for two weeks.
Some people worry that quitting sugar will cause hypoglycemia, fainting, or other negative side effects. However, our bodies can produce glucose from sources other than sugar, such as starches, fats, and proteins. Thus, quitting sugar is entirely safe and can benefit people with metabolic problems. It's unnecessary to quit sugar forever; taking a break can help you overcome addiction and develop a healthier relationship with it.
Here are ten things you may experience after quitting sugar for 15 days:
You'll feel like you quit an addiction, and you may experience withdrawal symptoms such as headaches, anxiety, nausea, or anger. If you do experience these symptoms, you are addicted to sugar.
You'll be less hungry, as consuming sugar frequently causes glucose and insulin spikes, which can interfere with hormones that regulate hunger, such as leptin and ghrelin.
You'll feel less tired as the glucose and insulin spikes caused by sugar consumption can lead to a sugar rush followed by a crash.
You may lose weight by losing fat and water when you have more control over your glucose and insulin spikes, and your metabolism starts to regulate.
Your skin may improve, as sugar consumption can lead to inflammation and affect the collagen in your skin.
You may experience fewer mood swings, as sugar can impact your mood, and consuming it frequently can lead to crashes and irritability.
You may improve your dental health, as sugar consumption can lead to cavities and tooth decay.
You may reduce your risk of chronic diseases, as consuming too much sugar is linked to obesity, diabetes, heart disease, and cancer.
Your taste buds may change, as quitting sugar can make you more sensitive to sweetness and help you appreciate other flavors.
You'll have more control over your food choices and be less likely to crave sugar regularly.
In conclusion, quitting sugar for a short period can have significant positive impacts on your health, including reducing hunger, tiredness, and inflammation, improving your mood, and reducing your risk of chronic diseases. So, if you're addicted to sugar or want to improve your overall health, give it a try and see what positive changes you can experience!

I took the 15 day challenge and it was amazing. I stopped eating processed foods with hidden sugars (which is everything commercial almost). I liked a scone or cookie with my coffee. Most of my snacking was processed, so I thought out substitutes (like blueberries -- sweet, but low glycemic). I ate avocadoes, walnuts, an egg, an apple or a piece of steak or salmon when I needed something! Instead of ice cream I ate frozen blueberries (low glycemic & cold!) I made stir-fry suppers with frozen veggies (for convenience), olive oil and a good protein, instead of a quick processed meal. No french fries (starchy sugars). Here were the benefits. Insomnia went away. I literally sleep through the night. I truy had more energy. Brain fog is 90% gone. I added another 2 weeks and decided I did not want to go back to sugar. I want good health and it was up to me. My skin stopped itching and just looked better. After 7 months a "sun spot:" on my face disappeared. My stomach started getting flatter (a sign of a healthier liver). Inflammation and aches went away. I can lift my legs to get into pants (balance better). Walked 2-3x/week (to my ability). I know my immune system is stronger. I feel 10 years younger and am not suffering, so this has become a life style. I feel better. At 7 months, I have lost 49 lbs. I am much healthier. Try it for 2 weeks to get past the cravings and think ahead on hunger/snack substitutes. Not that hard! I kept my coffee! I'm not going back. Wish you well and better health!
Cece, that is so amazing and inspiring to me. I once did that for a few months and even my asthma was so much better, it was like a miracle!
👍👍👍👍.... Great.... 🌹
I have been doing it for almost two months and have experiences that you just mentioned... it's encouraging and I wish to continue with this endeavour.
Thank you for your testimony. It is very encouraging and I may just challenge myself in 2024.
Congratulations! I've done it too, and the changes are amazing. 😮 I noticed my skin was so much softer and I had tonnes more energy. I'm not going back either. ❤
I quit sugar two months ago & my health has never been so good.
Sugar is a highly addictive poison…🕊
I'm trying to quit. 😢
I’ve had no sugar for 6 months. No processed foods at all. Very low carb. Keto: fish, eggs, leafy vegetables, onions, mushrooms, cheese, nuts. black coffee, herb teas. I’ve lost over a stone, feel full, have more energy. All my sugar cravings have disappeared. My doctor said everything is better - cholesterol down, blood sugar down, heart rate perfect, blood pressure perfect. No aching, sleeping better. My self esteem has rocketed. Don’t miss junk food at all. Everyone tells me how good I look. Everything he says has happened to me. I’m nearly 70 and feel 20 years younger.
Congratulations, you have found the secret, well done. The results are really worth it 🙌 😌 ✨️
@RandiTafoyaMinistries stop using it all together then.
😍😍😍
wow ur comment is very encouraging
wow well done that is inspiring !
I’m in Cancer treatment right now and Cancer loves sugar… got rid of the sugar and lost 16 pounds and feeling good!
May even naturally cure your cancer.
Good to hear this take... And may well result in FULL recovery soon! Best wishes 👍👍🙏
Let God help you on your way!
Thank you…
@@bettyfrey4913 Good Luck from France 💪👍
I haven't had any surgar since May of this year. Little to no carbs, no processed food and no other sweenters. At 52 I haven't felt better. The 34lbs weight doesn't hurt either. Everyone that is quiting sugar, you rock. It really is a poision.
How did you do it?!!!!
@@lolaajames4371 I just did it in spite of everything I thought. I just refused to fail again. You can do this and you will be amazed. I'm still doing it and down 40lbs. Now It gaining muscle and maintaining.
@@lolaajames4371that's what I want to know!
Awesome!!!!
Cool I started in May as well, did it for a few months. Dropped 25 pounds. Went back eating more normal. Didn’t like my sugar levels. Back on keto. But not as strict. Don’t want to get too thin.
Suffered terrible arthritis in my knees, have managed to stop eating sugar as it takes the pain away. As soon as i start eating sugar again the pains come back.
I have not had sugar for about 25 years. Maybe I get enough in a little bread or food but sugar itself makes me very ill. I learned to drink my coffee black instead of the sugar I used to put in it. I have not had an ice cream in over 20 years. The last ice cream made me very ill. I am now 92 years old and still have the energy to cook my meals and clean my house. I still function but with a certain amount of severe RA. Am a cancer survivor. Still live alone in my home and gardens. Doing quite well. Very small and weigh around 95 lbs. My mentality is still sharp,. I still do artwork and hobbies. Who needs sugar? I did not like sugar as a child. My mom would make hot cocoa for use in the winter time and it was so sweet I could not tolerate it. Also sweet ice tea and I still cannot drink sweet tees
inspiring, thank you
Coffee black is nasty
lanac
Very and so is tea. I'm glad op is in better health though.
Wow awesome
You sound lovely. Congratulations on your success.
What works for me. OMAD 3 days/wk. 2MAD 3 days/wk. Fast on Fridays. Eat nothing that has a label. If they have to tell you what is in it, you don't need it.
In 1986 I weighed 254 lb. I quit sugar that year. I now weigh 119 lbs.It was the hardest thing I ever did. Cigarettes was easier. It is hard because. So many things have sugar in products for no reason other than keeping you addicted.. I am 77 and feel great! Hang in there.
I’m genuinely happy for you! Thank you for sharing your experience, and that it is not impossible to make these types of changes.
How long did it take you to lose that weight?
It took six months.
I wish I had will power! Can I buy that on Amazon or someplace?@@Gloriagal78
That's so awesome!
Warning when you quit sugar cold turkey you might get cold like symptoms, moody and tired. However, the benefits are amazing. After a while everything tastes too sweet and you don't want to eat it anymore.
Did for 4 days
I got sick 2 days after quitting... It was like a cold...
I’m very irritable, going on 90 days now
@@terri8687 I'm about to make my first month without sugar. I feel great. Usually, after eating, I feel fatigue with headache... Today I don't have that anymore. I know it's different from people to people. For ime it's working already...
Yes, but its worth it. Once you get past the phase you don't even want to look back at sugar anymore and feel amazing.
I’m 45 and have terrible memory, joint popping, and gastrointestinal bloating so I started to cut out sugar and caffeine. I can tell you that this doctor is right. 1st couple of days I was sluggish. And had to pee a lot. I couldn’t even sleep! However, I did notice no more gassy tummy. I’m now on day 7 and I can sleep. My focus at work is way better and so is my memory. I have more energy and fruits and veggies taste better! I drink tea now and eat fruit for energy. I’ve had to prepare my meals so I can actually control sugar. I still have cravings but I just tell myself I can have it tomorrow, then I forget about whatever I was craving.
Cut the cravings by cutting carbs. No insulin spikes, at all. No cravings which can push you off the wagon.😢
9th day sugar free. Feeling like myself again❤
You will be so pleasantly surprised
I quit eating sugar 5 months ago today. My weight went from 214 to 178. Don’t want to go back to earring sugar.
Is a sugar necklace okay?
Bracelet sugar is a better option.
SO if I under weight, I will be more skinny and under weight? 🤕
I quit sugar in June 2023, it took 2 weeks for me to get over the hump. My immune system is better, I feel better and have more energy. I have also lost 43 lbs. Yes it's hard but so worth it!!
Immune system better😻😻😻😻

I quit sugar 3 weeks ago and feel amazing.
Same. I quit almost 2 weeks ago and I’m loving this energy burst
8 days with no sugar and processed sugar❤am loving it
How did you do that, cold turkey or gradually? Thanks
I'm 6 weeks sugar free. I still eat sweet whole food like dates, sultanas and fruit but I don't eat processed food with added sugar. The addiction and cravings took a full 30 days for me to get over. I also quit alcohol, bread, pasta, cookies, crackers cake. Within a month my sleep apnea was cured. My quality of life has improved drastically. I am not going back to eating the old way anymore, the pay load is too good now.
Good for you
OMG thanks so much as I have developed sleep apnea and it's the last straw pushing me to go off sugar and I am hoping it will work. I wake with headaches and nearly fell asleep behind the wheel. I refuse to live with it, and with other health issues that have crept up on me after a lifetime of sugar addiction I need to change. I''m 56 and not diabetic but headed there. I'm quitting bread and pasta (I have celiac and all the gluten free alternatives are made with highly refined bad carbs) and other sugars also. I'm a few days in and have been eating less sugary fruit, like berries, as my treats. I'm so glad I saw your comment so thanks for sharing how it's helped you.
@@joan-lisa-smith I come from a long line of sleep apnea sufferers. My father has it, my sister is on a CPAP. I eventually started getting symptoms, and it was destroying my health. The reason why a whole food diet fixed my sleep apnea is that it prevents inflammation. Most sleep apnea is primarily caused by being over weight and inflammation. Please don’t be concerned about eating sweet fruit, the fructose is bound in the fiber and ensures slow release into the intestines. Fruit juice causes inflammation, whole fruit doesn’t. Avoid all alcohol, all baked goods, all refined sugar and all other processed foods, including gluten free options. It will mean preparing your meals by hand. I also added daily walking. I can assure you, you will lose the extra pounds and your sleep will gradually improve until the sleep apnea is completely gone. Good luck!
@@Simon-pl2zi Yes, I'm avoiding all that and oils (except some avocado or expensive high quality olive oil on rare occasion). All the processed, and often rancid, seed oils cause inflammation. One good thing about giving up bread is I no longer have margarine! I have chickens and a garden so my old breakfast was eggs with gluten free toast with margarine and coffee with 3 sugars, now it's an omelette (a tad of butter in the pan) with a ton of veggies and chives from the garden in it and a black coffee. Now that I cut carbs/sugar out of my breakfast I don't spend all day craving sugar anymore. Congrats on healing yourself and thanks for the tips :)
I gave up sugar for 6 months once and I discovered how nice other things like bell peppers began to taste. Stupidly I went back so here I am trying again.
Don't beat yourself up. I've quit sugar too, but I will never enjoy the taste of a bell pepper - especially if it's raw.
Well said. I quit sugar 3 weeks ago. Everything you said happened to me. I feel better than I've felt in years.
Nothing happened
Wonderful video :) I stopped sugar 2 weeks ago, after a lifetime addiction to the poison. I stopped once before for 12 weeks, but then had a drinking choc and was straight back in the addiction. in the past I came off heroin, after a 34 year addiction to it, and came of a 4 year addiction to crack as well. both have been easier to stay off than sugar. Even tobacco has been easier to stay off. I can't say how much better I feel in just 2 weeks. It's so sad that we buy chocs for people as a present, when it is just going to damage them so much. I'm so glad that there are people like you who are here to educate people.
Omg I’m stunned easier to stay off heroine & crack than sugar . I’m really hoping I can do this.
Sugar is like alcohol. You will always be addicted to sugar. I agree with everything you say, except that you will be able to still enjoy sugar once in a while. It’s the same as alcohol. If you eat sugar, it won’t take very long to quickly begin to eat more and more and more of it you’ll be back in the same boat that you were. We don’t need sugar and if a person is addicted, they will always want sugar. It is a matter of what do you want more. Do you want to live with all the inflammation with the weight with mood swings, etc. Or do you want to feel better be more healthy be happier because you’re not giving into an addiction. It is very worth it to stop eating sugar in so many ways.
It's like that with soda also.
I agree that I would never be able to moderate sugar.
Not saying I never whine about it either.🤣 It’s hard.
I quit sugar and other simple carbs a while ago. When I walked by a bakery, I felt like a shark smelling blood. The smell of pastries caused an insane urge. Fortunately that stopped after a few weeks. Every meal was weird, I was full but I still felt hungry. My body was used to being full = sugar rush. I had to learn that those are separate things. The withdrawal was no joke.
"...like a shark smelling blood." Lol I know exactly what you mean.
Go for the all butter croissants man 🤌🏻🤌🏻🤌🏻
I quit sugar 2 weeks ago and I feel so much better, emotionally and physically. Lost 18#'s and my joints feel better, it's crazy what sugar does to us.
I quit caffeine last year, alcohol this year (which I believe is really a sugar addiction).
Working on the sugar! Great video.
I quit sugar a while back ago!! I don’t even eat fruits or honey.. my inflammation went down a lot 🙌🏻
If don't mind what we're your inflammation symptoms
@@Mindovermatter767 it really affected my feet, knees, hands and gut mainly. I have UC/ Crohn’s, osteoarthritis , and fibromyalgia..
@@carnicavegirl7214 Thanks for replying you are a wow! You did fantastic with no sugar...I am experiencing back pain and gut issues I'm trying hard to eliminate sugar and hopefully bring the inflammation down.
@@Mindovermatter767turmeric.
Gigilove May I ask, was it turmeric tablets or powder? And how much per day ? Thank you ☺️
I quit added sugars a few weeks ago after a sugar binge over Christmas (pies, cookies, etc.). I've noticed a lot of the positive effects listed in this video. The strangest one I've noticed is that I don't have to think about wearing deodorant as much because my b/o is much less noticeable.
If anyone reading this is struggling with sugar addiction, know you're not alone. The grass truly is greener on the other side. I know you will be incredibly thankful if you take the leap 🎉
I have Stopped eating sugar over 7 weeks ago and I feel absolutely fine, best things I have done. Sleeping well.
I call myself a “reformed sugar addict.” I gave up all my sugary junk food and desserts in December 2021. I felt really grumpy the first 7-10 days as I was detoxing off sugar, but then it passed. I do not drink alcohol, no coffee, not even tea. I actually enjoy drinking water. I do enjoy fresh fruit as a treat. I also love dried fruit like dates, but have to be careful with those because they are so high in sugar. I am mostly gluten-free too. Happy to say I don’t miss my old sugary binge foods. I know I can’t eat just one bite or just one piece. The addiction will kick in again and it’s not worth playing that game. Thank you for talking about how important it is to get off sugar. Truth!
Yes, it's true. It helps us to feel healthier as well !
I go wild with my water ..
.. adding lemon or lime..
.. even both... 🐱
Apple Cider Vinegar a while before meals.
Fizzy water is 😻
Even banana or other fruits contain sugar
@@wilmamanzanillo6968 Yes, of course. I didn’t say I don’t eat sugar in any form. I don’t consider fresh fruit to be sugary junk food.
Great news. Keep it up
I haven’t had sugar in almost 3 weeks and I feel great. Straight meat, fats and water with lemon. Sleep is improved, no pain and improved mental clarity. I might have a little something on Thanksgiving but I haven’t fully embraced that idea yet.
I too have stopped it’s been 13 days ..and even tho on my cycle I don’t have any cramps like I normally would …but I was eating it daily and I got sick of the yo-yo diet or just not fitting into any of my clothes …I also am debating whether I should nimble on thanksgiving just because I been doing well n don’t really care ..but I’m glad to have been on it as long as I have ..
It's been 3 weeks with no sugar and I am loving it. My appetite has significantly shrunk, no more eating all the time and I've lost 6 kg.
Thanks Doc
It been 3 weeks for me also.. my coworker brought donut to work I didn’t have any cravings for any.
Been off sugar for 10 months. Feel great ill never go back. ALSO my hair started to grow tons of new sprouts looks wayy fuller
Hi can u please give ur daily diet? I mean what type of food u eat ? thanks
Ok I am going to do this .. for 15 days pray for me 😅
OMG. I'm 63yrs old. And I never ate sugar. So my kids grew up never thinking about sugar. And today none of them has no weight problem.
Look, as long you are not eating it TOO MUCH, IT'S OK. It's called MODERATION
That's probably why you look young Linda.
@@sharksport01 Possibly. There are some people who look young and have not as much sugar intake. Called SELF CONTROL AND MODERATION.
I quit red wine 2 weeks ago. I also started cutting back on sugar intake....its about a third of what it used to be. This video has convinced me to totally eliminate sugar eventually. I have suffered from an eye condition Ectropion. My eyelid was constantly irritated. I have noticed a huge change in how my eye looks and feels. I also suffered from a chronic inflamed bursa of the heel. I am now completely healed (also with the aid of a corticosteroid injection)...the reduced sugar has a role and I am determined to carry on in my quest to quit sugar.
I stopped eating sugar and changed my diet completely last year. I had no withdrawl symptoms at all and feel GREAT!
How did you manage to get no withdrawal symptoms? Did you quit sugar gradually?
@@diana_prince_1 I was a little moody when the sugar was removed entirely from my diet, no weening for me, I charged in on my new lifestyle change! The moodiness lasted a week, that was my only symptom.
I consider myself lucky in this regard! 😁🤷♀️
I worry about the sugar because of what it does to your skin but never knew about it possibly causing cardiovascular problems. I tell everyone I'm addicted but I will not make a trip to the store at weird hours of the morning if there's nothing sweet in the house which is often. I think that when I have something sweet, I have a tendency to eat it all right on that day like the four slices of cake someone gave me to take home that was gone by the end of the day and then I have nothing more until the next time I encounter something sweet or have to go to my Pharmacy which is oddly placed right next to the bakery at the grocery store which gets me into trouble. So maybe I am not addicted as I believed but maybe I'm a binge eater and then I'm done for a while. That would be one reason why someone might not have withdrawal symptoms I would think unless there is so much hidden sugar and all of the other foods I eat that I'm really not off of it at all.
Pamela I posted 2 weeks ago and unless it's hidden sugar and I'm checking things and it only has a little sugar, if I eliminate everything that has hidden sugar I won't have anything to eat except fruits and vegetables . Anyway I haven't had any withdrawal symptoms either and I didn't feel the urge to buy a slice of cake that was on sale at the grocery store a couple of days ago. They had candy all over the kitchen table at work like someone had just hit a pinata, I don't know what kind of Decor that was, but I didn't touch not one piece. I did however start hitting chips a little bit. Don't really want to select a bad substitute for it.
Day 3 without sugar and I already feel so much better
R u still on , continuing with the no sugar diet , i am thinking to start , but the only thing stopping is my morning cups of tea 😢 , how did u cope up for the first couple of days , kindly advice
Congrats,hv you quit carbs also?
@@mansoorchhapra608
Just have the tea without sugar?
I feel better,I just stopped taking sugar...I feel so amazing 😍
I haven't 💯 quit sugar but 90 something percent and my body has changed all for the better. Exercise regularly as well. Also little to none artificial sweeteners and refined carbs. I never drink alcohol, have no desire for it, luckily . Lost 35 lbs since December 2022.
I quit sugar for four days, and I lost the will to live. Seriously
I am right there with you. I've quit smoking and drinking over the years ...easy breezy. I am addicted to sugar and am struggling.
My greatest fear!!!😂😂😂
I can see that as a possibility...but the benefits of getting off sugar are simply all around better health. I've had to do it twice in my life for a candidas overgrowth causing my entire body to be covered with rash. I had to go slow as I am an addict....so it's a matter of slowly incorporating healthy foods that I love and slowly removing foods with sugar. It's takes time ..the rash disappeared slowly....but if I ate sugar..the rash would come back. I'm over that for years now but still want to eat less sugar since it triggers inflammation and arthritis. Not to mention the highs and lows.
I am a sugar addict - have ALWAYS had a sweet tooth - and seem to have gotten worse as I’ve gotten older. I am going to try, once more, to get off it on a daily basis. If I can have a sweet once in a while, I am hopeful that I can still maintain a low sugar diet as I KNOW how inflammatory it is since my joint issues have also gotten progressively worse as I have gotten older. The good thing is aside from that I am a VERY healthy eater and that is probably the only reason I am not a full blown diabetic as this point but my blood glucose has recently risen above 100 each morning (fasting) and that is scaring me into action.
Third day without sugar and carbs.. No side effects! But I eat big portions of green leafs vegetables and a lot of proteins as well as fat. No cravings at all! I am trying intermittent fasting 6/18 and I am not even hungry! For now I would say two meals a day would perfectly do!
I have been off sugar of any type for >30 days. Huge overall benefit.
I thought I had a huge addiction to sugar, but after him telling me the usual symptoms of someone going through withdrawals from sugar I realize I’m not actually that bad. I’ve been off sugar for about seven days now, and the most I’ve had is cravings for all the sugar/junk food I used to eat all the time, but I resisted the cravings. Good to know that I’m not that big of a sugar addict! 👍🏻
I’m 7 days sugar free and my joints stopped hurting
sugar-free means no chocolate and ice cream or no sugar (fruit, raisins) etc?
When I was addicted to sugar and eating large amounts of it, the joints in my fingers were swollen and painful. After quitting sugar my finger joints are pain free.
I’m 6 week with no sugar, all of a sudden one day I could walk up and down the stairs and I felt like I was 20….im really 54
I cut back quite a lot. But still looking for that snack. Recovering from cancer. Cancer loves sugar
God bless❤
If you eliminate sugar and sugary foods, oily food and carbohydrates like spaghetti and rice, and limiting red meat, while focusing on consuming vegetables, chicken, salmon, and drinking water, you may experience improvements in your overall health, including potential weight loss, better digestion, and increased energy levels. I lost more than 45 lbs in 4 months. I was 225 and now I’m 170s lbs
💜 Well done 👍🏾
What's the salmon you are eating? Farm from Norway?
@@NightOwl222 wild Alaska
@@HassanAliHassan1960I wonder if it really is....researched it once, that all of it is farm raised on Norway and they lie to us
But I need to gain weight.
I done a 72 hour water fast and rolled it straight into a 1 month zero sugar was the best thing I’ve ever done and lost a lot of weight and felt sharp and clear minded 💪
I recently changes my diet in order to loose a few lbs. I do a brisk walk on the treadmill everyday for 30 minutes, and started counting my calories. I soon noticed that I was actually eating a low carb/low sugar diet by mistake. I never planned to, I just was trying to choose healthier foods for the calories that I wanted to intake for the day. I have lost 4 pounds in 9 days! I am now hardly ever hungry. Yesterday I only ate twice because I was not hungry for the rest of the day after I ate lunch. and that meal was only 345 calories! I am amazed at my results. I immediately started looking into the benefits of removing sugar and carbs from your diet and I am truly flabbergasted. I loveee me a good piece of cake, cookies or candy. I never thought that sugar could cause so many issues with the body. But after seeing the results I have, I am determined not to go back.
I totally quit sugar about a month ago, all these points hold true for me. It's really incredible. Never thought food could be so tasty, never thought I could feel so energetic, so agile, so positive. As a side effect I also suffer a massive and somewhat unmanageable increase in libido.
The question is how u quit 🤔 keep going anyway 😊
@@amanytantawy8344 Thanks! 😊 I just quit. Determination.
I also allow myself one piece of chocolate on weekends, but I have not taken up on thay yet.
He talks so smoothly, i am trying to give up sugar from now.
I love what you say here about not quitting it forever. I have definitely had my ups and downs with sugar. Recently, I went 18 days without sugar, then on the 19th day, I gave myself permission to eat sugar. Not only did I find I didn’t want to buy as much in the first place, but I ended up throwing stuff away, because I didn’t want to eat it all. I also realized it really wasn’t enjoyable. I made a story up in my mind that it would be so much fun, but it really wasn’t. Then, I ended up with phlegm that I haven’t had in days, a headache that I haven’t had in weeks, and acid reflux. I have started again, and plan to go at least two months without it, at which point I’ll be at Disney World, so we’ll see what happens.
Most people I listen to think of sugar as the devil and that it isn’t good to eat it ever, but I’m starting to realize I don’t really feel that way and don’t want to feel that way. I definitely want to go back to eating the way I did when I was younger. I’d eat a piece of cake while out to eat, and never felt as though I couldn’t stop or that I wanted to eat sweets day after day.
I quit sugar for a month. I felt so much better! I need to do it again and just stay off!
This is all so true I just recently quit eating sugar. My skin looks better I have more energy I am carrying less water weight and I was eating nuts the other day and they were leaving a sweet taste in my mouth. The transformation from just 2 weeks is incredible my body looks noticeably different. Great video.
Awesome
Blessed to hear this. It’s always what you don’t know that’s killing you.
The best candy is a homemade salad with Spinach, radishes, Olives, tomatoes and Cucumbers.
Thank you Doc you are a gift to us. You give what you have in an amazing way!
No ice cream on sunday! It is all or nothing for me. When i was 16 i lost the 2 stone or equivalent that i had been holding onto since i was about 2 yrs old. I just found my will, somehow. Then when i was 18, one lunchtime i ate a small packet of jaffas, one taste, and my will was lost. Just like an alcoholic, its all or nothing. By the time i was 24, i was 50% above my ideal weight, and at age 38 i weighed twice that, all due to one packet of jaffas. No, no sundaes on sundays! Its a constant battle, all or nothing, even now I am over 60
Gave up sugar and became vegetarian 50 years ago
I'm taking the challenge!
Thank you for caring enough to share with us. ❤️
I quit sugar and everything associate with sugar since 20/3/2023. 3 months and going stronger. I will try to stay off sugar forever. I feel much better without sugar in my life and have no desire to eat the most delicious desserts ☺️
I've avoided sugar for around a year now. The results have been nothing short of incredible: From 377 lb to 263 lb. Its insane. I feel better of course - my knees no longer ache from hauling too much weight around, I no longer get winded going up the stairs, I don't wake up in the morning with a splitting headache...and the most important thing: the 'fog' I would find myself in mid afternoons just no longer happens.
It also makes me less hungry, and I usually skip breakfast now - seems unthinkable, but its now normal for me. On the weekends, I'll also skip lunch if I'm too busy to eat - again hard to believe.
I don't consider it a 'diet'. Its more an attitude to make better decisions. If you walk into a gas station, you are surrounded by sugar - you just have to decide "not today". And the reason its not a diet: if somebody offers me a piece of birthday cake, for example, I'll ask for a small piece and eat it...and I haven't 'broken a diet'. Its just a rare treat.
good for you! ❤ keep on going!
Yes, agreed!! I can absolutely relate to all you shared that you noticed after quitting sugar!! Biggest things I am happy to see improved are no longer having those bad crashes mid day to afternoon. And no more brain fog! I love those benefits. I never thought about the morning headaches! I would wake up alot in the mornings and have to get up for the headaches to go away. But just realized that hasn’t been happening either. Good changes!! 🎉
What kind of things do you eat ? Thanks
@@andreacockerill6676 A lot of meat, including fish and tuna. A lot of eggs. Green vegetables, cheese, some potatoes and pasta in small quantities.
@@lacrewpandora4164 Than you I struggle to know as sugar seems to be in everything 😐
Hello Dr.Carlos
The way you make us understand in so simple words is just amazing
Thank you for this video 🙏
Thanks so much doctor for this information
❤😅🎉
Thank you Doc for all the insight... Most needed.... I shall follow your advice... ❤
I quit eating sugar for 8 months, now I'm not having sugar cravings anymore, I got my energy back, not feeling exhausted anymore and my skin looks so shiny. The first 3 weeks are more difficult, like any addiction. Now when I eat smth sweet, i get enough really quick, like 2 squares of chocolate is enough. I also feel how crazy sweet all the things are, and how bad some taste in reality, cause my taste became more sensitive.
Am on no sugar diet, my first 3days seems I was sick....but am stable now, 8days gone still going 😁
I stopped eating sugar and now I’m not nearly as sweet as I used to be.
I feel you. I've cut out sugar too and I'm more irritable.
I quit sugar for 14 days and my high blood pressure went back to normal and I no longer sleeping in the afternoon
Very well put together, very informative - thank you
I am 37 days no sugar/ carbs … the first 2 weeks were pretty rough BUT NOW I see the light and I feel amazing… I knew how bad I felt eating sugar carbs but I didn’t know just how bad it was
Your way of explaination is superb. Thanks a lot.
Excellent podcast about sugar! We desperately need this knowledge thank you so much for unlightening us, we need this awareness! Very much appreciated ❤ may God bless you! 🙏
Thank you so much, Dr Carlos ...For such important info n advice that will affect our health n quality of life
I'm 30 days in and I don't miss sugar at all now. I'm down 20 lbs. I don't want to constantly snack at work any more. I don't feel tired all the time any more.
Meat eggs and veggies tastes good too. I still eat too much but I'm working on portion control now, one step at a time.
Excellent video! Full of practical tips. Thank you ❤
Thank you DR,Carlos you are very patient to explain about sugar in our body God bless you always
I love the way this doctor explains .god bless ❤
I watch your videos in the spanish channel , i love that now I can share your content with people that I know just speak english ! thanks🙏🏽
I really Love your explaination❤️❤️❤️ thank you
I quit cane sugar, but still use honey and maple syrup in cooking. After less than 2 weeks, I had noticeably less aches and pains and the biggest reward was my improved mood. I am more calm and seldom get irritated over things. It’s been a big win for me.
Canecsugar maple syrup is sugar too
Cane sugar in its original form is very nutritious rich in potassium and magnesium.
But you need to remove all kind of sugar to reset or reboot your immune system to its healthy form before you can take sugar cane in natural state as in the tube (plant).
Congrats!
If you have a pure honey, it's o.k.
@@ThePerfectantithesisno it isn’t.
I quit sugar in 2006 when I was pregnant with my second child. Every time I added sugar I got awfully dizzy and had to lie down. I got done. I only take sugar in passion fruit juice and when I bake. Usually (95/100) of my time I eat food as close to the natural state as possible.
Thanks for sharing
I have been 100 % off sugar for about 3 weeks. I am a true sugar addict. I dream about eating huge amounts of chocolate pudding, slices of cake with tons if icing, even oatmeal wirh melted butter and sprinkled with sugar. Huge cinnamon rolls. You get the picture. It us luke the death of a loved one; you grieve. You grieve deeply for the loss if sugar in your life. But you have to give it up for health reasons. Anybody else out there feel this way?
@@virginiaconway9426 I agree I am tired of being exhausted and these body aches.
DR,CARLOS, THAT is very helpful tips thanks for sharing keep it up good work.
Oh my. I'm super hooked to sugar right now, its going to be difficult for me to stop but I'll do my best. I'm so glad I watch your video Dr. Carlos. Thank you so much.
Hi it might be difficult to stop , but not anywhere nearly as difficult as being I’ll with bad life choices ,
I was a sugar addict. I tried to tape her off by using Stevia during four months on keto. It wasn’t until I went carnivore that I lost all urges for sugar. That was 18 months ago. I agree with everything. This doctor said except that I believe my skin got better because I consciously gave up all seed oils.
I read a book many years ago called "lick the sugar habit" I started substituting sugar Stevia, and have never looked back.
Do they have that book at Barnes and Noble? I would like to check it out
I've just found your channel which I am loving!! Starting my 15 days without sugar and adding lemon water to my diet today! Here's hoping I see all of the changes and can continue to keep a healthier lifestyle ❤
How is it going so far?
@@hahahawhocare101 It was really difficult at the start because almost all foods contain sugar but after I found tasty things to eat and drink that are healthy it was so much better! Im now staying off white sugar forever and only having the smallest amounts of brown sugar when I have a coffee. It was so depressing at first but I'm feeling really great about myself for the 1st time in ages. The best thing is feeling in control of what I put in my body. Thank you for asking! ❤
Oh i forgot to say the lemon water is now a part of my daily diet. My skin looks great! Also I've lost quite a few pounds 😁
@@Libralea1111 Hi how do u take ur lemon water? thanks
@@sujatafernandes973 I squeeze the lemon and add it to some water. It depends how you like it but I use just a small glass of water. I do it in the morning x
Today is the 13th day of keto. I'm a sugar addict. I feel fantastic. First time in many years pain free. I have a new knee and repaired hip. Bad arthritis in my fingers/hands. I am amazed and delighted to feel so good. Do I still crave sweet? Oh yes I do but I don't crave it enough to return to my old bad habits.
I’ve quit sugar but it’s almost impossible bc there’s sugar in everything so I have to look at every label.
I know it’s tiring, I’m also celiac which makes it very hard going shopping. I think its fresh whole foods. Nothing out of a can or packet, meat fish chicken, eggs I don’t know about fruit 🍉 which has natural sugar.
Dr. Carlos-I started trying to avoid or reduce sugar even before watching this episode. I can attest to some of the benefits you mentioned and the rest I am not aware. Thank you for making me aware and the more reason for me to stick to avoiding sugar in my diet.
Sir, everything you have said I can fully relate to. Your points are so spot on! I gave up coke 1.5 yrs now and have experienced the benefits. My next challenge is to completely give up artificial sweetened beverages like Pepsi Max. It took me 28 days to be completely free of real coke and I'm expecting Pepsi Max will be easier. Bad Habits are hard to beat. Can I say this, the taste bud also changes its perception to saltiness. I usually like chicken salt with chips, but after being free of Pepsi Max for 4 days, I am not liking the saltiness anymore. Just my observation. Thanks for an amazing presentation. Note: I do enjoy fruit more now but I don't go overboard...10 grapes, or 10 cheeries. No tiredness after or joint pain.
Those first 3 days, my headaches were CRAZY & I don’t get headaches often.
Knowledge is power. Learned a lot kudos Doc.
MAY ALMIGHTY GOD BLESS YOU DOCTOR
I started ketovore 30 days ago. After just 3 days my craving for sugar was gone. I wad so full after eating meat I didn't want anything else. I do more carnivore than keto. I feel better than I have in years. No desire to go back to my old ways. Anyone who says they can't give up sugar should give ketovore a try.
I quit sugar caffeine and process food No animal products for 21 days i was sick for 4 days after that i feel amazing after a week no more cravings no even hungry i was surprise no headaches when i skip a meal i used to have a headache when I didn’t drink coffee i get a headache not anymore i have a lot of energy mental clarity is good trying it u won’t regret it,God Bless and give you the strength to do it
No sugar for 10 days now. I'm starting to crave good foods now and no longer crave sugary treats. I've stopped fruit too just to get my taste buds accustomed to savoury. Now the mosquitoes don't come near me. I was always the prime target!
Very true, too much sugar is dangerous. Im on day 6 of cutting off sugar, i feel much better and heaviness of my body is going down drastically. ❤
Yes doc I’m happy that i quit sugar for long time n my arthritis is controlled now ❤
Am out of sugar from today . I have learned a lot today. Am delivered .
I really appreciate this breakdown
Sugar is extremely addictive. I stopped eating processed sugar and processed foods eleven years ago. Coming off of this stuff is very difficult to do. The hardest part of getting off of processed foods and processed sugar permanently is getting your mind and thoughts inline with your new values. Once you convince yourself this stuff is poison. (in your mind) You will make choices congruent with your new values for life. Definitely possible but not easy. I have been able to drop seven prescription drugs I was told I would be on for life, by living this way and lost 40 pounds.
That's an encouraging and great comment. Any addiction is here to compensate some sort of pain or lack of something and like everything in life it asks discipline and will to make a change
@@taopaille-paille4992 Right On! The addiction is a symptom to a much deeper root, usually an unmet need or unresolved emotional pain.
So true, it's mind over matter
Great info Dr!!!!
Excellent video and priceless info. Thanks
thank you Doc fir this very clear information🙏🙏❤❤
