I Quit Sugar for 30 Days...Here's What Happened

Hey folks! If you liked this video, I recently tried breaking my caffeine addiction by quitting for 30 days... and I honestly can't believe how much it affected me: https://youtu.be/c-vKI6S54AE

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.

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 😁.

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!

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.

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.

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 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 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.

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.

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 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 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.

I’m currently almost finished with week 3 of a low cal diet and just got through ketosis a few days ago. It really is crazy just how much the cravings start to go away after a while! It’s nice to feel more in control of what I eat and less dictated by cravings

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!

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

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!

Being told I was a diabetic and I can never touch sugar again was THE hardest part of learning to live without! But over time I actually learned that I'm allergic to it as well. After 8 years sugar free I went to the ubiquitous family gathering with my one sugar free dessert for myself and my Dad as he too is a diabetic. My sister in law had no idea and cut a small chunk of cake and plunked it in front of me. Not wanting to be rude, I ate it then adjusted my insulin accordingly. However about an hour later when I got home I broke out in a horrible rash and within 15 minutes I was fighting for breath. 911 call and a 2 day hospital stay later I was told I'm allergic to sugar.
