How to Kill Your Sugar Addiction Naturally | Dr. Josh Axe

In this video I want to talk to you about how to overcome sugar cravings naturally. If you want to overcome sugar cravings, you need to follow these four steps:

1) Get the right foods in your diet
• Adding in foods that balance your blood sugar levels and insulin such as healthy protein, fat, and fiber
2) Get sugar and grains out of your diet
• Slowly wean yourself off of sugars and grains and find some healthy replacements that satisfy the sweet craving
3) Take the right supplements that will help balance blood sugar levels
• Chromium is a great option (200 micrograms 3x a day), a B-complex vitamin, and a probiotic supplement
4) Start doing the right kind of exercise
• Weight training or burst training instead of long distance cardio exercise (isometric exercise like barre class or yoga)

If you follow these four steps, you will see major improvements in overcoming your sugar cravings naturally.

I do feel anxious when quitting sugar and I guess that's how drug addicts and alcoholics feel like when going clean :(

[miss.hildebrandt]

Sugar kills slowly. It was killing me. After deleting sugar, I feel alive again. Fresh. Clear. The best 'myself' I've been in years. For a while, I couldn't even see a life without sugar. Even when I knew it was damaging my body. I love the advice in this video especially the bit at the end giving advice how to overcome sugar craving FAST.

This helped me lose 80 lbs. I can't say Thank you enough! 😁 God Bless.

Sugar makes you happy for minutes. Being a healthy weight makes you happy all day long.

Say that to yourself every time you are about to give in. Also, a little fun fact is that taking a quick shower can help reset your cravings. If you find the urge for sugar is very strong, try taking a shower. It should get rid of the cravings. Bonus is that a shower always feels great!

I just realized cutting sugar and being healthy costs a lot of money. Cutting is easy, its replacing it with healthy alternatives thats hard.

This video was loaded with all types of info that I had no knowledge of. I'm a sugar fiend, 🤪 who's just started intermittent fasting. Currently, I'm on a 16:8 schedule, and just by doing this has lessened my cravings for constant sugar consumption. I'm also a diabetic & my goal is completely be off of insulin.

Industrialized food production puts sugars of all kinds in just about everything they can. So once the addiction is overcome, a person then needs to read EVERY food label. And some sugars are more troublesome than others.

This is interesting. I didn't have a sweet tooth for the longest time, but I started having intense sugar cravings ever since I stopped weightlifting after a back injury. I think the reason is because I stopped focusing on eating lots of protein.

[unjaded]

[b-radsugarfree]

Great Video Dr. Axe! I wish I would have watched this video before I went cold turkey on sugar and grains over 30 days ago. I've never detoxed from heroin, but my body freaked out from no sugar and grains like I had been on some serious drugs. My body feels a million time better and my joints feel great as well. I was amazed how sugar causes inflammation in the body. Thanks Again!

[AllthingsSummer]

The universe is magical. Look at this awesome Dr. telling us how to use plants to heal our body and explaining to us why! This is what being a Doctor should be about not pushing meds first. Many blessings to you Josh

[shawnhollahan]

I just wanted to offer something I've realized regarding detoxing from sugar... my primary source of sugar is tea/coffee. When omitting sugar from my diet I noticed that teas with floral herbs like rose petal, jasmine, peach, etc don't require any sugar to 'seem' sweet to me. Technically I don't believe they are sweet but the scent fools me somehow into not needing to sweeten it to enjoy it.

[vldarden]

Research shows that sugar is 8 times more addictive than cocaine. Food manufacturers know that and that is why you will find sugar in almost everything you consume. Your body doesn't know the difference between the types of sugar you eat. Eating fruit, although it contains sugar, is a healthier alternative. The fiber content helps to slow down the absorption of the sugars.
