In this video I quit sugar for 30 days...and Here's what Happened. Recently I had noticed that I had really developed a sugar habit that had me consuming more added sugar than what was healthy. I watend to do no sugar for 30 days to challenge myself to break my sugar addiction and show how to quit sugar and unhealthy habits. Quitting sugar for 30 days was such an eye opening experience for me, and really helped steer me towards better managing my sugar intake and forming better habits with my diet and eating habits. Hope you like the video!

Have a great week guys! Cheers.

This issue with sugar is that once you have some, it's almost impossible to stop yourself from craving more. I find it MUCH easier to just not eat sugary stuff at all because moderation and sugar really don't work well for me.

Cáncer survivor here. Today is day 28 without sugar or processed foods. I knew I was addicted to sugar, and I knew i was putting my health at risk. Losing weight, but sometimes the cravings are tough. Good luck everyone, you can do this!

This is my seventh year of doing a whole30 and I sincerely believe that attempting this, even for just a month a year, really helps you to understand how the food you eat makes your body feel.

I clicked on this out of curiosity to see if it validated my own experiences. I quit sugar last June after a doctor visit that was a wakeup call. I've lost 50 pounds, I have consistent energy, meals make me satiated, and not only do I not crave sugar - when I have some it's just too sickly sweet. It's been great and this really is a lifestyle change for me. I hope more people can see the benefits. Great video.

I quit sugar 15 days ago. lost 5 lb without doing anything extra. I am quitting sugar for rest of my life. will update you after 15 days again

Day 43 without sugar (added sugar mind you.) I get whatever natural sugars are in the food, been eating single ingredient foods, and sticking to water. Been regularly exercising everyday.

Lost 21 pounds and have never felt better!

Thank you for validating everything I've been feeling. 2 years ago I took control of my life. I joined the gym, started eating healthy and have lost and kept off 80lbs. My problem is the sugar cravings. I do well doing low carb but I love cookies and donuts. For the most part I find alternatives but every once in a while I just want to sink my teeth into a gooey donut. I found since I've been very strict about sugar for the past 45 days I'm finally feeling energized. I see a very significant change from my workout. Instead of just getting stronger I'm getting leaner! How much more encouragement than that do you need 😁.

I've been on Keto for about three years with about five months off spread out during different times over the years. The mental clarity and steady energy throughout the day are something that I've never experienced while eating processed sugars, starches and flour-based products before Keto.

Awesome experiment, I've tried to get off sugar and I can confidently say that it is hard, mostly because of the environment, everything has sugar in it. And the withdrawal síndrome is real, is actually like giving up on cigarettes.

[lauriesherman]

I cut out sugar 9 months ago. The first 2 weeks were the hardest for me. I LOVE sweets. I've lost over 25lbs and kept it off. I'm in my 60's so weight loss was difficult before this. I lost 11lbs in the first 2 weeks. I try to eat more fresh and no processed foods. With groceries getting more and more expensive it's harder on a limited budget. I was able to get off one of my medications and decrease the dose on my blood pressure med. I have more energy and am happier than I've been in ages.

I was told I needed to remove my thyroid. I refused. Decided to go off of sugar for three months. I did. When I went back to the doctor three months later he told me “your thyroid is completely normal, I wouldn’t even medicate you”. Wahooo!!! Sugar is an endocrine disruptor it messes with your hormones. Hormones are everything!!

[masterfiddler]

Sugar really is in almost everything these days! The hardest part for me to cut back was searching endlessly for products with no sugar, but the effort was worth it and I'm not eating considerably more natural snacks such as those you've shown. Very happy to see you promoting this lifestyle change (or rather, cultural reversal to how things used to be). Great video!

I am 5 weeks in to the no-sugar challenge with a goal to go one year, in an effort to address joint pain. No verdict yet on the joints, but within two days there was a big improvement with bladder health (no more feeling like I'm always on the verge of a UTI). The other big surprise is that all other foods suddenly taste amazing. I am wolfing down bowls of green beans. A smoothie of just frozen pineapple and frozen banana is suddenly 100 times better than any milkshake. I did not expect this.

I started this the day after Christmas 2021 and am still going strong. I never thought I'd get this far but I honestly have zero cravings now that I gotten past the withdrawal stage. I also allow fruits and the other thing I've allowed is dark chocolates (nothing less that 90% cacao). Technically yes I'm not having zero sugar but it's drastically lower than any other time in my life. My goal is 1 year. I encourage you all to try. I feel significantly better and it's pretty easy to walk past candy now that I'm 6 months in.

As I diabetic, I feel your challenge. The good part is, once the withdrawal is over, it isn't hard to maintain. Also, I do no recommend fully cutting out all fun cravings. Once and a while, treat yourself. Selecting healthy alternatives is key, cutting sugary drinks is necessary. I treat myself once and a while, and never have uncontrollable cravings anymore.

week 3 here, but I am trying to make this a lifetime commitment! I quit both wheat, sugar, refined oils and caffeine. For me the fact that I was indeed addicted makes me motivated to keep going; i don't want to loose my power to anything. Also: my skin is GLOWING! no more dullness or pimples. And actually my animal alergies are gone and my neuropathy... crazy!!! So I keep on going!

As a middle aged guy of 53, I cut refined white sugar out on Sept 1st this year. My energy levels are off the chat. I sleep SO well and all my joint pains have gone. I was going to do a month. Now I’ve done 2. Now I’m wondering why I would put it in my body ever again.

[psmith]

I remember cutting sugar out a few years back as a challenge and man, the struggle to find foods that don't have added sugar is real! I ended up cutting snacks out all together and just had gum with me all the time. Your use of the air-fryer has made me want to give this challenge another shot as it looks like there are some tasty/healthy options more readily available now!

I went 60 days without sugar, but fell off the horse a week ago. I wasn't particularly overweight, but I'm trying to shed middle age fat. I'm 6'7" and was 238 lbs, but now down to 220. I put 3lbs back on after eating like crap the past mentioned week (vacation). I'm pretty sure the sugar caused me to retain water and puff up a bit but starting today I'm back off the sugar. These videos and comments motivate me.

I wasn’t trying to cut added sugar but went to UK for a month and quickly realized they generally have less sugar in everything. I noticed a tooth ache just before leaving and kind of grumbled about having to deal with it for the month but totally forgot about it after the first week. Then returning to US and eating similar food- yikes…SO much sugar (and exacerbated tooth pain). Shocked to learn I had lost 12 pounds, too!!
