In this video, we’re going to talk about the seven warning signs that you’re eating too much sugar.

Insulin resistance is a situation where your cell receptors begin to resist insulin. As insulin resistance progresses, it turns into pre-diabetes and diabetes.

If you can address insulin resistance early, you can help reduce your risk of pre-diabetes and diabetes. However, doctors rarely test for insulin resistance. This test is known as HOMA-IR.

At least 33% of the population has insulin resistance—most don’t know about it.

What causes insulin resistance? It’s caused by high insulin, which is a result of too much sugar and carbohydrates in the diet.

The American Medical Association recommends no more than 6 to 9 tsp of added sugar daily. However, most adults consume at least 9 tsp of sugar per day, and the average teenager consumes around 18.5 tsp of added sugar each day.

All carbohydrates turn into sugar, with the exception of fiber. When you include sugar from carbs, the average person consumes over half a pound of sugar daily.

It’s important to spot the warning signs you’re consuming too much sugar, so you can change your diet and minimize your risk of type 2 diabetes.

These are the seven warning signs you’re eating too much sugar:

1. Frequent urination

2. Excess thirst and dry mouth

3. Hunger between meals

4. Blurred vision

5. Irritability

6. Fatigue—even after sleep

7. Genital itching

Healthy Keto and intermittent fasting are the best things you can do to avoid sugar, curb cravings, and minimize your risk of insulin resistance. Check out my other videos to learn more about keto and intermittent fasting.

On the 24th of December it will be 2 months sugar free for me. I feel so much better physically and mentally, and I have lost some weight too despite not watching my calories too much. Thank you Dr Berg by helping me immensely with your amazing videos. For me it's all or nothing - sugar is so addictive that I can't just eat in moderation. It's much easier to not eat it at all.

I cut out sugar and carbs completely from my diet since mid august and i lost 10 kgs wt.. i feel so energetic and confident now...so many health issues also solved...thankyou dr..!!!

[tommymonroe]

I've been off sugar for about a year and now sixty pounds off. I wish that I knew before! Thanks, Doctor Berg!

This video literally just saved my life a month ago. I was living a nightmare, and couldn't figure it out. I lost 100 lbs in around 4 months, and had every symptom you explained here. I checked my blood sugar, and was shocked to see a 474! Thank you from the bottom of my heart for doing these videos. I never seen you before. This video just came up as a suggestion, and I watched it just to watch it. I knew in minutes what I was going through.

As a former pre diabetic I came close, then said to myself "thats it, I'm doing this right now no suger loaded drinks and food". It was surprisingly easy to stop and I drink lemon water everyday and slowly dropping the weight I've gone down 2 clothes sizes in the last few months, I don't miss what I used to snack on at all.

One day I'll write to you with my story but for now I'd like to say that I had over 150 symptoms, the nhs wrote me off as a hypochondriac. I went privately and got a Chronic Lyme & co-infection diagnosis. Then I found you! I definitely had huge blood sugar issues....I've had to address every system in my body and I'm not finished yet but here is a massive thank you from England, honestly, I feel I owe you my life!

[CandaceTarbat]

I’ve been a sugar addict for more than two decades and am paying for it now with liver, spleen, gallbladder and kidney issues. It is so difficult to completely quit but I’ve cut back at 90% of it. I really appreciate these videos to keep me on track.

I've been working on my health since I'm a TBI survivor. I was in a coma back in 2018, and I weighed 240 pounds; your content, as well as many other informative videos have really helped me out, and has been a blessing. Thank you!

[nynynyny]

I swear we don’t deserve you doctor, absolutely in my top 3 youtubers, so authentic and interesting to watch. Bravo!

[jennyeklov]

9 months sugar free and 20 kg less weight.
Its been a very powerful journey. Thanks alot for you great video 🙏😊

[misterarminius]

Since I'm doing keto I notice that I don't need my glasses anymore (mid twenties). I used to eat loads of sugar daily as a youngster up to 1 year ago. I have about -1.25 glasses to see at a distance. This explains it all. Also, the horrible red eyes, burn/sandy feeling, tearing up etc.. disappear once fat resistant. My eyes are extremely bright now and not red but white! Many other side effects such as brainfog etc are gone too. All thanks to Dr. Berg! You are a true doctor and lifesaver!

[vincepritchard]

I believe this is exactly what I'm going through right now. I'm always thirsty and always tired and I'm struggling to lose weight.

I knew someone that drank about 6 cups of coffee with cream and sugar. Double double. They were over weight and depressed and a list of other health problems. One day I took a bowl out of the cupboard and put in it 12 heaping tsp of sugar in it. Then I said would you eat this, he said no that's bad for you. I said well that's your 6 cups of coffee. Sometimes a visual makes the person think.

[LUckybones]

I’m so glad I found you Dr Berg. I think I was on the verge of having diabetes. I had the blurry vision, and numbness in my feet. I have started keto and IF, and I feel better than ever.

[ThePrimal.Podcast]

Dr Berg you have changed so many people's lives. 6M is just the start, your potential and reach to help people is limitless. Thank you for all you do ❤️❤️

[whitrobinson]

This was the slap in the face I needed. Thank you Dr. Berg! 🙏🏽

About 10 years ago, I developed candida overgrowth in my intestinal tract. I found a 'candida diet' and got started because I was beginning to have urgent diarrhea attacks. First week was absolutely no carbs and that was VERY HARD TO DO. I would wander around my house looking for cookies, candy, etc. but I understood that the candida die-off was causing the sugar cravings so I would feed it. It didn't win. Finally got through that stage and started feeling SO much better! Lost about 25 pounds in about 5-6 weeks without exercising! I looked and felt 15 years younger; my co-workers noticed the change and wanted to know how I did it. But here's the thing -- I have a sugar ADDICTION. Like any other addiction, you should never get too confident about your ability to just try a little sugar and stop. After about a year of this, I fell off the wagon a little at a time and now need to lose 50 pounds. Soooo, my goal is to start 2022 right and get off the sugar train once and for all. My family is a long line of home bakers and, I guess unfortunately, we are good at it LOL! But I can bake for others once in a while. I remember that I used to bake for others and just smelling those aromas used to satisfy my cravings to eat those goods. Strange....

Life changing for a fact. I've been keto for almost a year and I feel 20 years younger. And way better mood and thinking clearly. It's a lifestyle change that is totally worth it !
