Protein fat fiber for breakfast. What do u recommend for lunch/dinner? The same?
i am hating protein bars more and more after every video i watch on this channel
I’ve been looking for a video like this it was super helpful. I’m really trying to cut back on sugar and have made great strides. I am that person tho who has not evolved to being able to drink tea without a sweetener, specifically table sugar; I really don’t see how people do it, lol. I have adjusted the amount of sugar I use but I have to sweeten it and coconut sugar, agave and honey and drinking it plain doesn’t do the trick. Any suggestions? Should I just try again to drink it with no sugar and just give myself tastebuds time to adjust/not miss or want it?
you make me feel so much better about having a sweet tooth/sugar cravings. Everyone I met hates anything sweet or i see on social media people who eat healthy that they dont care for sweets anymore & its like nothing to them.:( I do my best to eat healthy but dang this sweet tooth! lol
Great information. Thanks. One question, where did you get those nice tea storage containers?
Sarah: get rid of the things that stress you out in life…
Me: how do I get rid of high-school
Sugar is like drugs for me. It’s killing me and I’ve been struggling for years. I want to hate it and never crave it again.
I have type one diabetes so I pretty much have to keep my blood sugars just right all the time, so yeah ��
Trying to cut back on my sugar in 2020 love the science approach. Thanks for the info!!!
Why does eeeeeeeverybody insist on putting obnoxious loud music over videos?! So over it. Beautiful lady and presentation but it’s nearly unwatchable.
What could I do if I just wanna taste sugar? I think it’s more because of my sweet tooth…
I’m on day 6 and this is the first day I haven’t had a massive headache and it has gotten a little easier.
This head ache is fucking killing me i literally want to die
Ok so I’m vegan and my only problem is.. Soy vanilla creamer in my coffee. Any suggestions for a creamer with less or no sugar (that’s creamy and tastes good) Please?
i feel horrible, sweating like crazy,feels like i wanna vomit, headaches, stomach hurts ����
Thanks for sharing Alyssa, great video! I used to be addicted to milk chocolate and now I barely eat it. I go months without eating something sugary. Now, I’m satisfied with a little bit of fruit or once in a while I use honey. I got my cravings under control by taking Gymnema Sylvester powder. It is an Ayurvedic herb for sugar control. Another name for it is sugar destroyer and it really does live up to its name!
I’ve been addicted to sugar for years! But Instead of grabbing ice cream and pop tarts, I keep strawberries, apples and raisins on hand to snack on ��
Having a big sweet tooth I really enjoyed this video. Very informative. Pls do more videos on tips to reduce sugar
This is super helpful thank you! I notice once I start eating a little more sugar I crave it every day so bad so I definitely need to cut back lol
Sugar is the most addictive and destructive drug that America refuses to acknowledge.
day 2 and I have huge headaches, but still got to do a biketour and sticking to this! Especially now, at this time it is good to overthink your health and make changes.
What is the recommendation on decreasing or reversing carb craving, especially bread?
Can you make a video about probiotics which one is the best and how to get it with the food as well.
Thanks for all the content you’re amazing
She mentioned beyonce because some of the information comes from her dermatologist as mentioned in the video. Why is everyone pressed?
Why they always have to talk sooo loud on these. I have my volume on low and it was hurting my ears
I cut sugar and limited my carbs for 26 days so far and I’m down 19 lbs and feel great. Amazing really
Sugar from fruit is good.. it.s different from the refined one because it comes with water good fibers and vitamins in a way no supplement can ever recreate☺️ If anything replacing refined sugar and starches with fruit is a good option compared to dangerous artificial sweeteners since there are only a small handful of not harmful sweeteners like stevia or xylitol��
I’ve heard you can sweten smoothies with cooked steamed sweet potato! I want to give it ago =)
I’m in the process of getting rid of sugar out of my life. I hadn’t had a lot of it then I went and got a iced green tea at Starbucks yesterday and thought I’d gag. I forgot to tell them no sugar. Lol
I love ALL of alyssa’s videos and have been watching/trying her recipes for years but im a little upset about how shes discouraging people from eating certain types of fruits/healthy sugars. If someone is trying to cut down their sugar intake, they shouldnt be doing it by avoiding things like mangos, bananas, dates etc. theres a difference between the type of sugar those contain in comparison to the sugar that is in things like cookies, brownies and so on… its a very dangerous to start label things like FRUIT as a food item with a high amount of sugar. This is not something we should be telling/teaching people who dont know a lot about nutritional value or diet in general. It can become very obsessive and restrictive:(
Wow, to everyone complaining in the comments section, no one is stopping you from checking out the rest of the videos on her channel or Googling things yourself. If your health is actually important to you, take some ownership and initiative. Jesus.
I’ve been sugar free for 2 yrs. Going on the third yr. I actually got rid of my negative symptoms and did not have withdrawal symptoms except for cravings. My lethargy, irritability, skin discoloration, skin tags, feeling drying, horrible headaches, stomach aches, lack of sleep went away. This lady has perfect skin and a perfect face. My skin is still oily and has acne because I have pcos but it is not as bad as before.
breakfast crackers and bars advertised as good for you contain in excess of 10 grams of sugar per serving. Visualize 10 grams. You are being poisoned from within. Processed sugars are terrible for you and since 1970s http://www.diabetesandenvironment.org/home/incidence no coincidence youre wonderful FDAS food chart said CARBS should be the basis of diet right around this time.
Did you chew a sugar free gum that doesn’t have the a pertained in it and instead it has something like xylitol in it then that helps to reduce sugar cravings. Also, I personally have cut sugar out completely even the sugars found in fruit the cravings went away. They were no longer there. I was eating a diet high in good fats, low carbs, and moderate protein. The diet is called the keto genie diet and it is very helpful. Keto genie diet is helpful for those who have type 2 diabetes to loose weight and be healthy. Believe it or not but if your no longer eating sugar you stop craving sugars. The only true way to completely stop the bad food cravings like sugars is to completely get rid of it once and for all. For more information check out dr berg, dr Fung and Thomas Delauer
I’ve lost a good amount of weight in the past by cutting out refined sugars and in fact, I already planned on shopping tonight to start those good habits again. I’ve gained about 20 pounds but I HATE counting calories. So, from now on it’s meat, veggies, good fats, and low sugar fruits. And of course the occasional dark chocolate fix. Since I’m already allergic to almost all starches that part is pretty easy. But, I can certainly down candy and ice cream like nobody’s business so this is going to be tough. All the best to those of us trying to quit refined sugars!
I always crave something sweet after dinner. I usually have a piece of dark chocolate, last night I had frozen banana and frozen cherries with almond milk blended.
Great video! And so timely! I’m about 10 days into a 30 day no sugar challenge. Love the extra motivation ❤️
Great video. Great topic. Thanks for sharing. I started doing this with my smoothies not adding so much fruit. I do more veggies. I never did frozen veggies though. I have done frozen fruit. I like my smoothies room temperature. I don’t do well with cold or frozen stuff in my smoothies. It’s a Lil better than it use to be. I also add cinnamon love cinnamon, vanilla sometimes. I gotta buy a vanilla that’s alcohol free though.
Well the problem is that sugar is added to almost everything… especially in the US… So until there is going to be some federal law requiring food manufacturers NOT to add any unnecessary extra sugar to things that dont need it, the US will continue to get more unhealthy and more obese…
Day 1 no sugar, I feel like I am dyyyyyiiinnngggggg!!!!!!!!!!!
I love eliminating sugar in small manners. Stevia and monkfruit are my personal favorite substitutes and they’re amazing for baking! �� BUT fruit sugar and naturally occurring sugar in starchy foods are okay!
Excellent content that is easily applicable in everyday life! I have to be very careful with sugar consumption for medical reasons so I appreciated these tips and wanted to share some of my own… 1) That frozen riced cauliflower tip not only works in smoothies, but also “nice” cream! 2) When I do indulge in a higher sugar fruit like a date, I pair it with nuts/nut butter so I don’t feel the effects quite so dramatically 3) Drinking tea was a great suggestion! My husband and I both love Teeccino herbal coffee alternative. We find the flavor profile of Teeccino really satisfying.
So so incredibly helpful. Thank you so much for this����������������������
5:06 Wrong. We do NOT need sugar in our diet. In fact, carbohydrates in ANY form are actually not required by the body at all. Our bodies can make all the glucose it needs from protein and fat. Having said that, I’m heading out for some Krispy Kremes.
I get fatigue, feel weak, feel slower and dumber, and anxiety increases/: What do I do?
Wow! That video was VERY informative! I have a question about where you purchased your see through containers. Such an amazing idea. I have an overwhelming collection of teas. Do you have any videos about organization in the kitchen? Or recommended pantry staples? Thanks again for the quality content ❤
why are you talking so fast?�� btw your video helped me thank youuu
Hi! I love all your videos because I have a gluten and dairy allergy and you were a lifesaver right after I was diagnosed. I am in search of a new dairy free/gluten free chipotle ranch, I previously used the Just brand but those are no longer being stocked where I live. Do you have any suggestions on brands or a recipe to make a homemade version? Anything would be greatly appreciated!
its only been 1 day without sugar and i feel like shit hahaha. I’m really happy I’m doing this for myself though! I feel comfort listening to this! And wow love the recipes on your website definitely going to be a frequent visitor!
Hi Autumn! I can do really well with not eating sugar/refined foods while fasting but as soon as I have my ‘break-fast’ meal I CRAVE sugar sooooo bad like I need my chocolate hit or a really sweet coffee even if I have had a really satiating meal and I find it so hard to resist. Is there anyway to detox or curb this after meal craving?
Correction: sugar reduces testosterone causing lower libido. Not increase! Not angry. But you made a simple mistake. Testosterone increases sex drive, not decrease!
Do raisins count as a dense sugar? I put raisins on top of steel cut oats every morning
I wonder why there are people that love candies, and other people don´t, for example I would prefer to have a big ice cream instead burgers and fries, and my sisters are the contrary.
I tried for 3 days but ended up stress eatng and had severe mood swings… too irritable��
Omg I just found you today and I am absolutely LOVING your channel… I just went gluten, dairy free and am trying to go vegan as well so this helps me so much to see what you do and use xo thank you
I had gone on a no-sugar 30 day diet and found myself being really sick over sweet things as a result, unfortunately got back onto sugar when Christmas came by and now I’m almost immune eating loads of sweets?!
Will my diet be okay without breads, root vegetables and grains? I’m eating a KETO diet, 3 weeks in.
Did they sat increased testosterone decreases sex drive? These people have no idea what they’re talking about
Doesn’t our body break everything down to sugar whether it’s protein…complex carbohydrates or fats in order for the body to use it for nutritional energy….
Its been less than a week and I don’t feel good at all. I have been crazy thirsty a thirst I have never experienced before. Also feel bloated. Can it be a sign of diabetes?
me: watching this video
also me: chugging a 2-liter bottle of mountain dew
Hey Autumn, I’ve recently gotten back my motivation to get my regular diet back on track after a period of.. less healthy eating, and I was wondering if the meals I usually eat are actually good to eat. I like to eat the same thing every meal, so I’ve put a lot of different veggies together to still get that ‘varied diet’ going sorta. I eat 2 meals a day, one between 12.00 and 13.00 and one between 17.00 and 18.00, and between those try to keep snacking to a minimum.
My usual meals consist of: Bell pepper, green beans, peas, broccoli, carrot, cauliflower and onion (about 500 grams in total raw) and either chicken (100 grams raw), beef (100 grams raw) or bacon (70 grams raw). I cook this in plantbased butter (no clue what it’s called in english, sorry) with a heap of spices, paprika, curry, garlic powder and a bit of salt specifically.
Would you say this is a healthy meal? If not, what could I change about it?
Cut out fruits? Smh now I know these Hollywood doctors are lame.
To anyone who thinks they wont change from sugar, change your mind IMMEDIATLY. I learned to turn down sugar the hard way because i started to get really blurry vision and lens or glasses wouldnt help. I stayed home from school for 2 weeks before i went back.
I can’t eat sugar at all because I can’t control myself, it’s like a drug.
Im having one and trying to sleep full muscular fatigue…very hungry..and hard to sleep..felling sleepy but cant sleep..omg but i wont quit…i promise to my body i wont quit
Former chocolate, cakes, orange juice and pepsi addict; My advice to easily begin with nosugar: Eat fruits especially sugary ones (bananas, figs) drink aspartame based soda (just for your transition if you like to drink coke during meals). It will make cravings less brutal. Nothing is more addictive than sugar mixed with fat (chocolate cakes for example) you dont find this shit in nature, our brain didn’t evolved to this kind of taste. It’s like cigarettes, you wanna quit regular cigarettes (filled with aditives)? So start smoking pure tobacco only, THAN it’s gonna be easier to totally stop.
High testosterone would decrease sex drive?? Thought high testosterone INCREASED sex drive
Old Motto: Let’s mask our subpar food & drinks buy adding sugar, our customers are too brainlet to care for anything better
New Motto: Business as usual but let’s write GMO-free & Organic on the label. Yep that’ll do it.
What a time to be alive
currently on day 3 as i type this
day 1: kept thinking about sugar all day but didn’t give in to the cravings
day 2: extremely cranky and irritable behavior, at night i got a terrible headache and very heavy headed especially after exercise
day 3, today: feeling better, not as bad headache but still feeling heavy headed
i hope to get better soon
Question, if you are not a coffee person can you do herbal tea in place of keto coffee? If so, can add raw or manuca honey or plain? Thx.
This probably for how to sex when your loose weight also shut your double chin mouth the hell up… and if you don’t have sugar how you gonna do a b-day for a children tho? Exactly that proves sugar is good taste
According to your video, sugar can both increase and decrease my testosterone. Does that just mean it doesn’t effect testosterone?
IT’S NOT THAT EASY. sugar is like drugs. i haven’t tried drugs. but once u stop taking it. you feel like crazy
I’m trying to quit right now. This is so hard. I have a horrible headache that’s lasted for days, constant hunger and chills. I want to quit like every hour. I hope it gets better.
You lost me even you started putting actors in your video! Later!
1:37 ” Sugar can increase your testosterone levels “
1:48 ” Sugar can turn off gene that controls testosterone levels “
So sugar basically makes you harrier, fatter, and your testosterone levels go ape shit and berserk.
Sounds like a weekend with Rich Piana. But with sugar.
i felt like i was getting sick from the withdraw, but i feel better more energy lost weight:)
And yet our average life expectancy keeps getting longer… go figure!
What things have you tried that help reduce your sugar cravings?!
I’ve had headaches for 4 days now. Brain fog. Always tired.
This is worse than when I quit booze and smoking
I’m 11 and I lost lots of weight from not eating sugar.I’m not stoping!
I had acne since I was 16 now I’m 21 and I still have them but not as bad as they were before..
I literally did everything and nothing worked, eventually I said it might be the dairy I’m taking and I stopped eating dairy it was good for a while but I still had bloating stomach headache knees pain etc.. I even replaced my milk for coconut milk and I drank it with coffee and I started itching like CRAZY and feeling so anxious and unbalanced even started breaking out on my chest, underarms face..
5:06 You do not need sugar in your diet, at least not refined sugars like white table sugar, brown sugar, HFCS, etc. Eat whole vegetables and fruit and you will not get too much sugar.
Yes scale back to 1822 when the average person only lived to be 40 years old!!! Interesting……..
Ok im done with processed sugar. The thing that always got me back eating it was the excuse “a little bit won’t hurt” or “you need at least one cheat day”. The problem is who the hell is satisfied with half a can of soda or 2 squares of chocolate? Nobody. So the best bet is to just piss it off. Good luck everyone hope you become healthier.
What Don’t kill you only makes you stronger. 5 days here! Been tough sleeping but my body is feeling stronger and recovering faster from workouts. Stay safe and healthy ��
Listen, too much of anything can hurt yousame for too little of anything.
Are there any studies or actual documentation to this video? Is research of real sources done? I agree we eat too much sugar but I would like to see real studies, I guess I will Google it.
I am craving… a buxom redhead with freckles, a nice smile and killer eyes
Actually it’s so restrictive, I’m into eating healthy but if I want it to be maintainable I shouldn’t restrict myself the treats that I love,
Thats how I keep up with my healthy eating
I really want to cut out the sugar but def have to research all the foods to make sure I don’t consume them. I’m worried about the withdrawal though lol
Let’s also remember that sugar production/consumption was/is one of the main reasons for slavery in various parts of the world. Just another way in which in which it has disenfranchised people.
as an athlete, cutting sugar out of my diet makes me weaker, makes me recover slower in turn making me unable to do the training i need to do. sugar is a staple for endurance athletes. also sugar is a skinny food, fat makes you fat. theres no fat in sugar and to be quiet honest this video is complete bullshit
Excellent video and tips to reduce sugar. I enjoy my herbal tea. I prefer green tea over black tea. My favourite is camomile tea and peppermint tea. I also find having chia seeds in your porridge oats for breakfast helps reduce my sugar cravings.
what are you talking about testosteron, its the best hormone
Where did you get your tea containers? I’ve been looking for containers just like that! Love your videos!,
omg this was so helpful i used to wake up in the night, craving for sugar so I got a donut or a pop tart, which I knew was bad but thx to this I cut my habit out and it really helped
Thank you for this video! I love how you add in scientific background information:) I would also love if you give more examples, e.g. when you say starting the day with a high protein, fibre and fat meal, what could that be? I am vegan so I am wondering if you have tips there? And for me it should also be something I can prepare and take it with me to the uni the next morning:)
I’m 1 week in, got chills, weak and body aches, but after watching this I feel inspired….
Every time I felt withdrawal, I banged my head on the wall until I passed out. A little free advice, but I only suggest it as a last resort.
dd how the government does not want us to eat sugar or salt yet they
legalize marijuana??? now if you question this, then the government
will tell ou that you suffer from ADDDS and require opiates for 5 years
daily so you become docile and complacent along with the all free all
legal marijuana! but no sugar and no salt! no meat, its
unsustainable!!!! stay on the opiates and marijuana…oh get your
flu shots
Americans are nuts when it comes to over-flavoring everything…. you guys got to a point when you call well-spiced meal bland just because it does not have a lot of salt, sugar, and other artificial flavors…. some meals are actually supposed to highlight creaminess or natural taste of food, you know, you do not have to put huge piles of spices everywhere….. I started to hate the word “flavor” after dating an American…. he had to put tabasco, salt, sugar, pepper, fish sauce, or other flavors EVERYWHERE, and I am a very good cook and baker.
its so hard to get people to listen to the truth and good information….
So your experts are ELLE magazine and Kim Kardashian’s dermathologist?
Haha, funny, and the primary source of energy is sugars, so cutting them out can kill you. A test was done by Dr. Atkins, and the results showed that people without carbohydrates (sugars) were prone to headaches, motablism issues, fainting, shortness of breath, and other bad things, nothing like “glowey skin” or whatever. Sugars can’t be cut out of our diets, but should be managed, to prevent long term energy issues.
if i stopped eating added sugar, and kept eating biscuits, would this work?
As u mention Beyonce as a role model u made me tempted to eat full spoon white sugar right now yahhhhh
My parents banned sodas a looong time ago! I’m glad they did. I can’t miss something I don’t have(I occasionally get sodas at school, and it makes me crave it. It’s very addictive, but I only get it on special occasions at school, so i just fill my soda cravings with chocolate, tea, or some icecream��) a small bowl of icecream is way better then soda! It’s a fact.
The thing is. When it becomes an addiction you feel worse and can’t notice changes
i eat a lot of sugar i have no extra weight my skin is clear im learning 3 new languanges at the moment ect. also work out a lot eat lots of vegetables and have a fairly bulky and muscly build so i do burn far more calories then your averege person
But…but…I thought ‘L’ in DEATH NOTE was smart because he ate a lot of sugar
Lol when I clicked on this video an ad about chocolate popped up ��
I love your videos, Autum! One Q: How the hell is it that some people can just eat whatever and the insulin NOT making them gain weight?! I feel like so many people (must be like 10-15% of my friends) just bypass these rules somehow. WHY?! Would be awesome to understand this, thank you!
As of tomorrow (June 16th 2019, Father’s Day Sunday), it marks my 3rd completed week of having no sugar at all. When I say no sugar, I’m talking no cake, ice cream, pie, cookies, brownies, sugary drinks,..etc. That’s the only thing I changed about my diet which means I’m still enjoying chips and some fast food. I’ve been drink nothing but water the entire time. I haven’t been exercising at all and I have been eating fruits such as watermelon, peaches and even whole baked sweet potato with butter!!! I don’t consider myself being on a diet at all, all I did was cut of sugary foods completely and drink nothing but water. I believe in giving myself the freedom to eat anything else I wanted to has made cutting out sweets that much easier for me. I’m not deprived on what I couldn’t eat besides the sweets.
What I’ve noticed by far: Better sleep at night, a more defined look around my stomach, face and shoulder area, and a more radiant looking skin. Now, I’m not sure if me cutting out sweets completely is what has my skin glowing or me just drinking nothing but water when I’m thirsty. I’ve noticed me not feeling as hungry all the time, and my energy level has indeed boost higher. I even noticed a difference in my teeth.
Along within this 3 week span, I have gained a stronger will power of being more rejective towards unhealthy food as I’m getting pleased by my results thus far!
I just thought I should throw this out there.
really good video, thanks!
I am currently quitting sugar, and I have a question, is it normal that the withdrawl symptoms start 4-5 days after the start?
no kidding i have not eaten sugar in 2 months and i had some today i had such a bad headache.. when you stop eating it… you do not crave for it…. you feel SICK eating it….
I quit Sugar and Dairy Product, eggs, non-veg products Since 1st July, feeling uncomfortable, but when ever I feel miserable I watch your video, and I gain strength to continue, I will quit sugar and dairy products,eggs, Non-veg products for sure. Hope you make some more inspirational videos like this. God Bless You… ���� with love from India….
Cadbury eggs just came on the shelves and I do not want to get rid of them forever.:(
Omg that is my favorite chocolate��do you have a video on how to freeze bananas or veggies?
Can I have berries, apples and sugar & dairy free dark chocolate as alternatives whilst quitting… Day three here and my anxiety is crazyyy.
what if I start my day with just a lemon? no honey no sugar just purely squeezed lemon..is it good? thanks
I really love the idea of incorporating tea as a way to reduce the craving. I love the tea containers too!
I rarely eat sweets and sugary cereals (unless it’s a random midnight snack) and I have really great skin. I rarely have pimples and I can tell a difference in my body when I eat a lot of sugar.
4th and 5th day anxiety really kicked in. I am usually never anxious. I was shaking my left leg a lot, a tick that I only have during exams or very tense times. I bought some fruit and that seemed to have helped. Then rest of the time was fine. Today on day 13 a bit of anxiety came back but nowhere as bad as the first one.
Where did you get the storage containers? I have a large tea selection and those clear containers would be the perfect solution. Great video, very useful and informative.
I don’t crave sugar anymore, I crave gluten so bad! Has been over a year, and I know gluten=sugar, my job has being being vegan, sugar, gluten, dairy and legume free, that gives me a lot of anxiety, it’s really hard to figure out what I can eat, in my case I had no choice, I have Lyme disease and your channel has helped a lot! You look amazing!
Love what she says but I have to turn the screen cause the crazy use of hands is sooooo distracting
My ‘love handles’ are the closest thing to love that I have in my life. Can’t afford to lose them.
I got fever after one day quit sugar. I usually drink 1.5liter coke a day
Xylitol and erythrytol are not chemical sweeteners they’re also derived from plants. Xylitol is from birch juice and Erythrytol from fruits, mostly raspberries…. The only health problem with them is possibility to cause stomach pain in large quantities. I also don’t see why not to buy cheaper stevia drops with glycerin in it or inulin, which is extremely healthy for gut bacteria… Plus the one’s without fillers are simply not available in some countries and monk fruit is not possible to be found anywhere in Middle-eastern Europe for example.
Day 7 and I’ve been dizzy for days, and now I’m also feeling headache and body ache, still dealing with bloating and gas from my bad diet before. It’s rough, but I’m in it until I get to the other side.
music in the background makes it hard to get what is said at times, also having graphics included in the video with a quick summary would ba also valuable
I gave up 90% of my usual sugar intake and in just a bit under 2 weeks I lost 5.8lbs. I don’t even like sugary things that much anymore already!
I’m not sure why, but when I try to quit sugar, my body feels like a anxiety attack is right around the corner. Especially when combing with less calorie intake, or less carbohydrates. It may be from hunger in general though…. Sadly, sugary snacks are a great immediate anxiety/stress reliefer.
I’m week 3 with out table sugar. I’m experiencing increased hunger. Water intake increased. Taste buds feels weird. I feel weak at times plus head ache…
Actually, we consumed even less sugar than this video says. The average American ate about 4 pounds of sugar a year in 1900. Now it’s closer to 150 pounds a year…
The body does not require fibre, very least from wheat based sources.
When you quit Refined sugar can you have severe hunger pangs like you need to eat, but you’re not hungry, sometimes it subsided after a bowel movement, why is that, what’s going on? Is the body detoxing?
Make me sugar free, I’m very moody and irritable quite a bit. My cravings for sugar are sometimes mild and other times to the point that I am about to crack and just give in to whatever sweets that’s around me. This has been such a struggle for me.
I’m getting weird heart beatings, I can’t fall asleep, feel my fingers and right upperleg tingeling… any advice?
Thank you for the video! It’s super helpful. Do you have any recommendations for natural sweeteners that would be good to use in homemade granola? I usually use date syrup or maple syrup, but I know those can spike your blood sugar a lot too. Thanks in advance ��
Now this was extremely helpful. I am going to try a 1200 calorie daily menu, cut down on my sugar, salt and fat intake and see if I can do this without any weight loss supplements because I have high blood pressure and just don’t want to risk harming myself more.:) I think good old fashioned diet and exercise will help me. I just reviewed hcg videos and that’s truly not for me. I am headed to your website now.:) Thanks for being here…love your videos make more.
I normaly dint eat sugary stuffs since overly sweetness makes me nauseous i dont like chocolate but i consume dark choclat 75-82% pure dark cacao in small amounts but during my period i start eating all kind of sweet treats and unhealthy stuffs wich is okey because after this week i go back on track but during this quarantine i started eating alot of sweet stuffs even if it healthy like dates or fruits but it to much for me i can’t control i feel horrible my stomach hurt i gained weight and i usually end up throwing up because of the pain and the discomfort ����
I’m on day 3 trying to quit sugar, I’m feeling dizzy and weak. I hardly get full plus I’m breastfeeding, I don’t know if this is healthy for me.
I’m literally feeling shaky, don’t like this feeling at all.
My only withdrawal symptom is that I’m always hungry no headaches yet thank God.
I was so addicted to sugar it was like a drug addiction, quitting cold turkey was the best option for me.I’m on day 6 of no sugar, I have light headaches, little dizziness. Cravings come and go but determined to continue.
3 days in although and I don’t have any cravings yet I had a headache and I felt so tired while exercising (brisk walk), I’m doing this for two weeks and I know that it’ll be worth it
The usda wants to just load every food in sugar and put demons
Day 3 of no sugar and I feel so awful. I here’s to better days ahead! I’ll come back to update. ��
3 days in and the only symptom is the intense craving to inject 30 donuts into my arm.
Hi my name is frank and well sugar is my drug of choice.
It all starts with a simple piece of chocolate and then keep going till I start feeling like crap.
You say that grains considered a “no no”. What about Ezekiel bread? ��
Sucking on some pill containing zinc and vitamin C, my feeling of craving were distracted, besides, chocolate and sweets tasted like crap afterwards. Nutritious foods and greens seems to help too.
I usually love something’s sweet as well after lunch. I should definitely consider dark chocolate.
I’m bipolar & idk if I can deal with these intense mood swings… any way u could do a video for people who already struggle with the kinds of things quitting sugar will instigate?
What do you suggest for switching out sugar in baking? I have a banana recipe that is my favorite but it has about 2 cups of sugar in it. I’ve thought of swapping out some of it for apple sauce but I’m not sure. Any suggestions would be really helpful!
Im gna give this a good go, Im toned and regularly attend gym but I have horrible eating habits, which include 4 croissants, pack of cookies and without fail 2 litres of orange juice a day and at least a can of energy drink. Im black no less but at 31 years old im seeing a rapid increase in wrinkling around the eyes and nose. Time to stop before I deteriorate further.
Good info but no mention of Stevia or maybe I missed it. Bookmark “Benefits of Stevia (0 calories) even for people with Diabetes” https://www.organicfacts.net/health-benefits/other/stevia.html
This is perfect Autumn. Incredibly informative. I was recently diagnosed with Hashimoto’s, and decided to become very stringent with my sugar/gluten intake. It’s seems added sugar is in EVERYTHING. I greatly appreciate resources like your videos.
i’ve been without sugar for like 3-4 hours and i’m about to cry omg this isn’t healthy
The music in the background was too distracting while you talked.
First time im first on any video �� really needed to watch this I guess
Music is great for riding a mountain bike along a cliffside trail overlooking a sunset over the Pacific. But not for this video.
Has anyone had the symptom of your body getting hot? Or feel as if you are getting a slight fever then it pases eventually?
She is right about the snacks. Raw Walnuts, boiled eggs, a few peices 100% dark chocolate are my friends. The dark chocolate is the best one for me when I want sweets! Day 2 I tried it and usually don’t like dark chocolate. It is still not tasty but it taste better for some reason now and just a little curbs the cravings. Throw in sour kimchi for good measure. I am only 3 days in but you guys can do it!!! I have no symptoms except small cravings when I see a fruit but I think it is because i also eased into it (water with meals, fruits and honey for sugar) I am preparing for symptoms so I watched this video. Thank you!
I’m looking forward to what you eat videos!! Love your channel!! ����
I have tried to swap frozen banana for frozen cauliflower and it made my stomach so upset. For some reason raw veggies don’t agree with my stomach ��. Any suggestions?
Thanks alot this video was awesome. Eliminated all forms of sugars even fruits and have had some amazing results. 2 weeks now and lost 13 pounds already but have had some massive headaches. Thanks for addressing some of the symptoms in this video, I was getting scared because of the severe headaches the first few days.
Natural sugars do not need to be in the argument. Fruit and vegetables are actually good for the body.
I Think I Love You!! Take a bottle
Shake it up
Break the bubble
Break it up
Pour some sugar on me
Ooh, in the name of love
Pour some sugar on me
C’mon, fire me up
Pour your sugar on me
I can’t get enough
I’m hot, sticky sweet
From my head to my feet, yeah
I am 69 years old. Is there any harm in doing this program for my age? Also please tell me the vitamins to take. I am on my 2 nd day.
I am ready to quit sugar bye sugar i know the withdrawal symptoms aren’t gonna be pretty i am prepared for the sugar withdrawal symptoms
bull shit i live a almost sugar free life and i still have black heads
My headache/withdrawel was so bad on day 3 I got sent home from work by my boss, I was literally struggling to read my monitor. Help me:(
I literally just started today and I feel pretty light headed. Wish me luckkkk ��
Beautiful lady and solid advice and info:) I’m going through sugar withdrawal atm, I feel a little bit down and noticably anxious, I keep forgetting why and then I remember i’m not having sugar and I just keep pushing through, i’m sure i’ll feel better in a few days to a couple of weeks maybe even a month but it’s gonna be worth it.
The Magnesium suggestion is SOOO spot on, that stuff is absolutely essential, veeerrryyy important. Magnesium deficiency is horrible and really negatively effects Quality of life.
Ok found this so gonna watch and let you know if I still have questions!!
How do you feel about Keto? I’ve been doing it for 7 months and feel satiated, only wanting to eat one meal a day. Plus, the food is so tasty. Once I got into the routine, I didn’t even think about food anymore and only eat when I’m truly hungry. I remember what those crashes were like when I was eating carbs. Not fun.
I would love to keep watching your video but after a few minutes I was over with the stop and start while you are talking and the video put together like it’s not.
Avoid sugar like this dumb bitch otherwise the boogieman aka insulin will come out of the grave and make u obese. ������
This is helping lol. I think I’m lying to myself but is there such a thing as “good sugars” just like there’s good cholesterol? Like I really don’t THINK pasta and bread is that evil. Maybe that’s just cause I don’t taste sugar..what’s your take on that? If we’re gonna do it, do whole wheat?
Yeah this is tough to do….still tried simplifying it

I love to drink chamomile tea with fresh ginger grated into it before bedtime. If that doesn’t work I will eat dark chocolate covered almonds. I have a hard time sticking to just 2 squares. You have great will power!!! Go You!!
I am so impressed its been a year with no sugar! This video was super helpful and your new hair is so fun!! <3
Avoiding sugar is best but what is your experience with erythritol. It supposed to have zero effect on insuline.
Great tips that are useful throughout ones life cycle!��♥️������������
There’s no way to stop eating sugary food. I craved sweet deserts and food for a while because I introduced sugar alcohols too much at first. I thought it was ok to add it to the food I eat everyday but it just made me to have more sweet food again and again. Never satiated. I made keto desserts a lot and finished it at one sitting like a whole pecan pie. It was horrible..! so I decided not to add any sugar alcohols to my food. Get higher fat and cut out berries. Struggled for about 3 days but got better after. I really don’t crave any sweets. It works

I had intense headaches for weeks while starting IF. Turns out it was because I was eating a high carb diet during my eating window. I focus on lower carb (not full keto) now and I stopped the headaches
I’ve cut soda out. Now using seltzer water and black tea by itself. I’ve had headaches for three days ��
Hey is true what you about the smoothie when I add grit it does be sweet
I I haven’t had sugar. In over a year. But time to time I’ll have one piece. Of candy and after that I don’t want any more candy. And so far that one piece of candy. Helps my Craven for candy and the rest I will eat some fruit instead of candy������������������������❤����
perfect timing! I’ve been looking for ways to cut the sugar ❤️️
I would love to see a video on ways to get the water down everyday. Sometimes I feel like i’m drowning and I’ve not yet reached my water requirement!
I think the problem for me is that I do not plan for healthy snacks bc I have not found any that keep my interest and so it’s an issue of convenience, and possibly boredom
The diet drinks are worse. The fake additives cause cancer and it stops the body from felling hungry, so you keep eating…not sugar really.
I get depressed and extremely irritable every time I try to get into ketosis. To the point where I give up because I don’t want to be a bitch at work.
Great explanation. That helps so much. Thank you ��������������
Come on I quit opioids and weed i can’t quit sugar it’s as bad as quitting junk
I blame it on music! There are no cool songs about broccoli!..”Sugar, ah honey honey
You are my {intermittent fasting} girl, And you got me wanting you”
I love the containers you keep your tea in, where can I find them? My tea cabinet is a disaster!
Day 1 of not eating sugar: went pretty well, only that I didn’t know that gums include sugar but it’s alright ✅
Why do people think they need the music in the background. Unnecessary and cant hear the info.
I’m late but this is so helpful!! Gonna try this for a month to control my cravings:))
I’m literally watching this while eating a chocolate. I legit can’t stay away from sugar…
I am obsessed with sugar I can’t stop I’ve been eating and eating it I can’t stop but this vid has helped
Some examples of actual meals that are high protein fat & fiber would’ve been great…??
I am so confused! Why do runners eat those power gels? Wouldn’t that sugar cause insulin to be present which block access to your fat storage? Why do so many runners use those gels if they do not work? Am I missing something?
Sure I won’t eat sugar but no fruit that’s not really good for my life cause I do have a sweet tooth and I do need fiber people
I’ve tried the 8g sugar a day. It’s great. I also gave up white bread at the time. The first 3 weeks were tough but afterwards even if you try to eat junk your body treats it as such and you get diarrhea since your body doesn’t have the bad mind influencing bacteria anymore that love junk food.
Im going to start quitting table sugar tomorrow. Please pray for me
Major insulin spike, here I come. I’m getting donuts this weekend from Krispy Kreme and Duck Donuts. Starting from 243 lbs on July 1st, 2019 down to (191 lbs 193 lbs), I miss eating unhealthy donuts once in a blue moon ��.
Do you have/can you do a video on intermittent fasting and (female?) hormonal acne?
Update! I’ve been 3 weeks now without sugar and I feel incredible, full of energy and also have noticed a lot of change on my body, my clothes feel looser, best desicion ever!
1. For your first meal of the day eat a meal containing protein, fat and fibre. Avoid dense sources of sugar (sodas, honey, jams, granola, protein bars, processed foods)
2. Make sure that you eat until you are satiated
I consistently tried intermittent fasting for 2 weeks and was feeling amazingI’m a breastfeeding mama of 3with my nursling being 19 months (so it’s not her sole source of food). I made the mistake of weighing myself and found that I had actually gained a few pounds. I am about 20-30 pounds over my pre baby weight. Hormonally speaking-I’m sure things are off (lactational amenorrheic) wondering if my body still is having a hard time taking into fat burning mode.
Rarely every comment but wanted to say that this was fantastic. You do a great job of adding everything up in a way that makes so much sense. It honestly makes it easier to NOT do something once you understand scientifically what is going on! Thanks for your work.
15 minutes ago i said no suger today. Now i eat cookies and coffee. Its almost like a force that is pulling me towards eating it.
Im feeling sluggish, and lethargic. Especially irritable and moody.
Hi Autumn! I wanted to know your thoughts on natural organic honey? I have tea with honey every night before I go to bed. Is that totally destroying my weight loss goal?
But honey is better than just sugar… It has health benefits. Like warm honey tea/honey milk before bed/when I catch a cold or just water with honey, ginger&lemon to start my digestion in the morning… It’s about the amount. You cannot completely rule out any possible sweet thing outta your life, that’s just sad. I get it, eat honey in moderation. I can totally survive without artificial sweeteners and overall sugary things, like easy. Honey, though… Not so much. But sometimes it makes sugar cravings stronger, that I agree on. Leaving out all sugar means A L L
I was highly addicted to sugar and didn’t realize truly how damaging the dense sugar was for my body and depression till I finally kicked it. Thanks for breaking it down!
I’d love to see a video on break-fast meals that aren’t smoothies. Seems like I fall back on eggs/spinach/avocado too much and need some other ideas. Plus I tend to REALLY crave buttered toast with my eggs!
No one can give up sugar, sure we can cut down but the human body needs sugar for bodily processes. Your just encouraging BED like this
New subbie here. Can you cover how to cut sugar and processed foods when you live below poverty level? Low income individuals lean on cheaper food stretchers like rice, bread, and noodles to feed their families. Please, and thank you in advance. I’m working not just to lose weight but to get healthier in general so I can lower my chronic pain. Also, I am so grateful I found you. I’m definitely going to become a student of you this year ❤
I’m dealing with bad bloating and foggy head. Hoping it will pass soon!
What is Autumn’s breakfast of protein, fat, and fiber?? I’m new here…
