5 SIGNS YOU'RE EATING TOO MUCH SUGAR — DR. ERIC WESTMAN

Let’s face it: most people eat too much sugar. Whether we’re talking about the refined sugar found in things like candy, cookies, pastries, and other sweets, or the complex carbs that get digested into sugar (like pasta, rice, bread, and crackers), to your body, ultimately it’s all just sugar. How do you know if you’re eating more of these than your body can handle? Watch Dr. Westman's latest video to learn 5 signs that you’re eating too much sugar.

These short and concise videos are great. They should be played on TV and on public screens everywhere. people still think I'm crazy for giving up sugary stuff and carbs in general. They believe I'm mentally ill for even considering that
"You need to live a little, treat yourself". It'sl tragic really.
You and Dr Lustig are my heroes. Much love from Germany <3

I find that I do want something sweet from time to time. I can eat sweet things (including sugar-sweetened) but I can simply stop after I've enjoyed a few bites. I'm proud of myself for getting this far; I was a carb addict for many years.

I have several trigger foods that once I start I can’t stop eating them until they’re gone. I’m, also, overweight. So I keep shrimp, eggs, pork rinds and beef on hand at all times. I will kick the sugar habit!

I remember, when I was in my 30s, sitting in a meeting at work, thinking about why I could not lose weight nor could I control my eating habits. At that time, I came to the conclusion that I had to cut entire groups of food out of my diet. The #1 food I knew I had to stop eating was chocolate.
Fast forward 40 years and I have only in the past year, eliminated all chocolate from my list of Foods I Can Eat. Addiction to sugar is SUCH a devious and difficult addiction to control. I was a smoker, a drinker, and drugger and I have been clean and sober for 33 years. But chocolate, and other related sugar addictions, was the most difficult addiction to control. Now, I have been free of sugar/chocolate for a year and for life. I will NOT go back into that Hell!! Thank YOU, Dr. Westman, for being available to assist in eliminating this horrible addiction from our lives.

Wow! This hit like NO other thing I have heard before! Yes, once I started saying "no", eventually those carbs are not shouting at you like before!

Always appreciate Dr Westman's common sense advice.

I'm lucky, I suppose ... I've never been a sweets eater, but I do miss pasta and potatoes. Lots of people advise not having high carb items in the house. Not something I can do since I am doing keto in a non-keto household. I just remind myself that carbs are toxins for my system as a "recovered" type 2 diabetic. In the past I can recall sitting down and eating an entire sleeve of saltines!

If you are craving sugar, it also can be medication. I was low carb, went on oral birth control and I had insane sugar cravings. Once I switched to transdermal patch, the cravings stopped.

wintergreen lifesavers, something about wintergreen flavor

I can't control myself either. Well, I've been doing keto and intermittent fasting for 10 months and I've lost a lot of weight, back pain is gone etc and my addiction to carbs (especially sugar) got to a point where i wasn't craving it anymore!! But i fell of the wagon. I've only gained 2 kg in a few months but hoping to get back on track. I know now that I can't control myself.

[janmargaret]

Cut down on beer/wine/soda too there are lots of carbs.

Thank you for all the work you put into making these educational videos. Keto has literally saved my life. Peanut M&M's are dangerous for me too. 😆

[Lgarell]

You are a Wonderful Doctor and Human Being, Thank You Doc Westman for Helping Others Whom Struggle with Their Health 😊

[alexr]

Frozen peanut M & Ms used to be a problem for me. I would never eat an entire bag, but I would eat a few more than one serving size. However, I noticed that since I started trying to eat a keto diet, frozen peanut M & Ms are too sweet now to taste as good as they once did. Keto does make a difference.

[ocean]

Thank you so much Dr for all the efforts you do. Dr.I have stopped consuming sugar and junk food since October 2020

[teknerd]

Yup, I can definitely identify with the peanut M&M trigger. :)

[bullekanel]

[gammytobin]

Thank you for your expertise and wisdom. It’s been a blessing to me.

I find your videos so interesting. In your years of practice and studying the effects of sugar on the body and the benefits of a keto diet, have you experienced push back from the food industry? I watched a fascinating BBC documentary available on YouTube called “ The men who made us fat”, and it was discovered that fast food chains especially, were putting in high amounts of sugar and salt into their products which caused food addiction in people. Other factors such as using psychological tactics to get people to buy junk food were being used. There is strong lobbying going on in Washington that the food and beverage industry use to ensure that more healthy foods in schools and limiting portion sizes at fast food restaurants doesn’t happen. It is worth watching.
