it's been 2 days since I started and honestly it's so hard. i got headaches (bad headaches), I want to eat it so much, I'm sleepy, I'm grumpy. no energy what so ever, but I'm not giving up yet!

[Nemesis_T_Type]

I always feel sleepy and a little bit depressed when I don't get my sugar.

[naomianderson]

Yes i agree, what things can we replace this need with so we have energy..?

On my 6th day today, feeling fresh every morning, good mood, less acne and inflammations, but still feeling lethargic 😅

[sistagaia]

I’ve had a headache for literally 5 days now! Im going to keep going but I’m over this

[AdamGoodson]

Thank you. I am going through a lot of withdrawal symptoms and it really stinks for me today. This video helped me

im 14 years old and it has now been 4 days since I have had sugar. my body and skin are still adapting and to be safe I decided to wait to take artificial sugars out of my life and diet, when I was at my happiest (wellbeing wise).

I feel like I'm going to f@#$&+* throw up every night, and feel nauseous with intense abdominal pains at times. I can't sleep, I'm having joint pains. Anxiety, panic attacks, can't think straight, depression, intense migraines, can't think straight, dehydrated, and irritable. I feel hungry as hell all of the time! It's so annoying because I'm not the type of person who snacks.

One thing I've had is there is something missing after eating. I am on my second week of withdrawals now. I gave up casually a week and a half ago. I thought I was going sugar free, until after a week and starting to feel better, my wife reminded me how much sugar was in some of the foods I was eating that didn't occur to me to look at. So, I cut those out and went into another withdrawal phase! Actually worse the second time. But both times I noticed this lack "boost" after eating. It stands to reason, if I am used to getting a high and it isn't there, then my body is going to throw a sulk! Then about an hour after eating I am wanting to eat again.

I liked how you re-framed it. that makes more sense. I have a couple of days to go before the week is up since cutting even more sugar out. I definitely noticed an increase in energy and better mood after the first week. It's just annoying that I have had to go through it again.

I'm waiting until I have a significant amount of time off of work. I don't want to claw anyone's face! 🤣🤣

im on day four and its challenging but possible. yesterday was friday and usually i treat myself from a long stressful week of school and i was offered ice cream, chips, chocolate, and let me tell you.. IT WAS SO HARD FOR ME TO SAY NO, but i did say no. that gave me strength, and i thought i can do this. im very fatigued and grumpy though /:

[jesmmifs]

Quitting sugar makes me extremely anxious and paranoid. It's why I haven't been able to kick the habit just yet. It really is a powerful and highly addictive drug.

[roseivey]

Everytime I eat I'll feel like I'm gonna get sick. Goes on for normally a week or two, sometimes coupled with a headache. Hopefully this will be the last time I go through this and actually get rid of all these extra pounds ✊

[rrfirefly]

So, Charlotte... on average how long will these withdrawal symptoms last? Weeks? Months?

[awhappy]

It’s my second day of sugar withdrawal. I didn’t take rice (carbs that includes sugar). Just veggies, fish and chicken. I had severe headache last night and vomited two times today. Just want to check if it is normal. I barely vomit in the past year.

[mr.twenty-ten]

I feel like shit rn. Feel like throwing up, feel groggy, very short tempered, headaches and feel like crying.

[saybeaful]

All true! It's good to listen to you as a motivation since I have totally given up my proper diet but I want to hit again the diet without sugar

[Carnivore_Oma]

thank you for the video. I couldn't figure out why I felt so bad. It's been almost 3weeks without sugar and refined grains. Today I Feel awful.

I'm on this diet (no sugar, cut out the white bread, white rice, potatoes ) and it's very good, by that I mean you can eat and get full.
I go on the diet about once a year to bring my fat levels down so my weight doesn't get out of hand.
I use the original 'Sugarbusters!' book for a 14 day meal plan - I recommend it.
