In this video, we’re going to talk about what happens to your body if you stop eating sugar for 14 days. What you’re doing is converting from sugar burning to fat burning. This can take about three days, and you may feel a few symptoms in the process. Taking B vitamins and potassium can help with these symptoms. 
 
What would happen if you stopped eating sugar: 

1. Lose appetite for sugar – 
Every time you consume sugar, a hormone comes in there and pushes the sugars down, causing a low blood sugar situation that causes you to crave sugar. 

2. Less hungry – 
It’s the sugar that keeps you hungry all the time. Giving up sugar can help stabilize blood sugars.

3. Less fatigue – 
Especially after eating a meal. 

4. Lose excess water and fat – 
For the first week, you’re going to dump a lot of excess water and more fat.

5. Enhanced mood and improved cognitive function — 
More focus and concentration.

6. Skin looks better — 
Glowing skin with less acne. 

7. Less stiffness – 
Less inflammation and less pain.

More benefits of quitting sugar:
• Build new enzymes to run the body on fat fuel 
• Less inflammation in the arteries 
• Growing brain cells 
• Clean out a fatty liver 
• Better kidney function

For some reason, this exact video changed my mindset. I’ve been sugar free for 2 weeks and have already lost 10 pounds. I feel amazing! The first couple of days were tough but now, it’s easy. I’m also able to skip breakfast and I eat around noon now. I would’ve never thought I could do that. Ever. But look at me now! Full of energy, my waist and stomach are getting smaller, my mood is great, and my arthritis doesn’t hurt anymore. 😃. Thank you, Dr. Berg.

Before Covid, I quit eating sugar for 3 months and I definitely felt better. I stopped eating rice, any chips, cola, any kinds of bread and mostly ate greens, any kinds of meat, some peanuts and healthy snacks for dessert. I also drank tons of water. Only water or ginger tea without sugar. My eczema was gone, i could breathe better, lost at least 10kg of my weight, and my skin got better.

My wife and I gave up sugar in 2004. I am now 51 lbs lighter and much healthier. Still highly active and working full time at age 76.

I am a recovering alcoholic and drug addict. I have been in recovery for 4 years. I also have given up smoking cigarettes. Candy was the only vice that I have left.

However, listening to this advice makes me want to consider giving up my candy habit.

Since I watched this video on the 13th of August I immediately tried no sugar and I.F. And I’ve lost 14.6 kilos (30 lbs ). I feel fanTAStic. Look better and am very grateful to my brother Col who shared this video with me. It’s now Oct 24th 2023. Xxx hopefully I’ll have regenerated or improved the state of my liver.
Thanks Eric Berg. Xx

Today is my 9th day without sugar! I feel great then ever. And I am experiencing almost all of the effects which dr Berg explained in this video. It’s mind blowing 😮 I am so happy and grateful that I finally manage to try this out. ❤❤❤❤❤❤

I did the 30 day zero sugar after my annual physical in September of last year. My fasting Glucose was 112. I weighed 193 lbs.
Now to update yesterday at the doctors office, I’ve stayed on the low to no sugar diet, I dropped my Glucose number to 91, and weighed 170 pounds. And feel like I’m 30 years old. I turn 67 in October.

[fixuppp]

I lost 80lbs by doing this. The cravings did stop too. It is crazy what sugar is. That damn thing literally is poison.

Dr. Berg explains the HOW and WHY of the body. This helps us to help understand what we are doing and motivates us to help ourselves. Thank you Dr. Berg.

Doctor Berg I want to thank you. I am 70 years old. I found your youtube videos a few months ago. I started on keto four months ago when my doctor told me my blood sugar was sky high, my BP was high and my heart rate was extremely high. I have lost almost 40 pounds reduced my blood pressure is down 30 points and my heart rate is down 20 points. I almost have normal body readings ( BP HR) now. My blood sugar is way down and my doctor has reduced my metformin dose. On top of that, I pulled out an old pair of jeans I haven't been able to wear in 25 years ( because I had gained sixty pounds) and they slid on easy. I was so shocked I almost cried. I practice strict keto and IF 20/4 daily. I don't really get any exercise now as three months ago I injured the inside ligaments around my knee (sprained them) but I am still loosing weight. Thank you for everything as Atkins never worked for me.

[darlenestories]

I give up sugar. Trust me, whatever the doctor explains is TRUE. no body aches or stiffness. I wake up energetic every morning.

[SunnyIlha]

One thing one can do to assist one's doing this is to rewatch this very video each day.

It works.

[buenoloco]

I'm on 13th day of doing keto. Everything mentioned in this video is correct. I started doing keto after I watched Eric Bergs pizza recipe video and that's how everything started. I intend to do this for 2 months and maybe slightly chance diet after, but mostly I choose to go on with this program. I've found this to be the best way to lose weight and feeling refreshed

[theresalobban]

You are very easy to listen to. I am up and down with my sugar "diets." There is no denying that it really changes things. Everything that you have mentioned is true. I am currently 5 days with significantly cutting down sugar intake, and I feel great. Thankyou for sharing this. I will share with others.
