1)Eat less sugar. The more you eat, the more you crave. 2)Good quality sleep 3)Eat enough protein (typically a gram per lb of your body weight, I’m 120 so I eat 120g of protein but I work out 5 days a week as well) 4) low sugar fruit. Stop eating high sugar fruits. 5)Healthy fats

@@PraveenSriram I would say it's 7.5 at first, only because it's an all day challenge to say no to sugar initially. If you get enough protein,like Autumn says, it brings that 7.5 down to like a 2, but if you're just trying to quit cold turkey, it's hard to tell yourself no over and over. It is a challenge, BUT 100% doable and manageable and after ab 21 days the cravings really do fade away. Anyway, I believe you, me, anyone can do it and I believe everyone has will power!

I never really had a problem with fruit except for eating the occasional watermelon in a single sitting. My problem was processed sugar. I ate 8000 KK donuts in the 80s. I would eat a pound of M&Ms in a day. I could finish off a box of fudge covered Oreos at lunch. I would eat ice cream cake for breakfast. It took four months for me to transition off of sugar. It was very difficult. If I had to do over again, I would’ve gone cold turkey combined with carnivore. I lost all carb and sugar cravings the week I switched from keto to carnivore.

@Hertz2laugh Жыл бұрын

After years of struggling, I finally realized I was actually a full-blown sugar addict, and I broke my addiction by dropping all carbohydrates "cold turkey." I switched to the "carnivore" diet and have never looked back. I went into serious sugar withdrawals for about a week - everything you'd expect an addict in withdrawals to experience: headache, mood swings, sudden and intense cravings, tiredness, etc. I also got diarrhea for 11 days. I thought something was wrong with the diet, but learned that this is totally normal for people who aren't used to eating that much animal protein and fat. Eventually my body adjusted and everything went back to normal. Like I said, it took about one week to go through the physical withdrawal symptoms. But it took another two weeks for the psychological and emotional symptoms to fade away. I had anxiety about how my social life would be affected. I was sad about how not eating carbs would impact my family traditions. I kept have very, _very_ intrusive thoughts about how I could probably get away with just a little treat here and there because I deserved it. All sorts of those things. But I stuck with it and all of it went away. It's been about half a year and now I can sit with my friends as they eat after-meal sweets, and I won't have any desire to try a bite. Sugar is an addictive chemical that comes from plants. All addictive chemicals come from plants - sugar, caffeine, nicotine, cocain, opium, etc. My life has been so much better since I cut out plants and carbs, and focused on animals protein and fat. (Plus I lost 30 pounds in three months)

I used you calculation video to find my protein needs and that alone has been a huge help. Do you know if we could make bone broth from deer? My husband thinks it will taste too gamey. 🤔 Great video Autumn, very helpful 🤗

Mine is a gradual evolution of sugar. As a single mum of 3 boys. I couldn’t afford multipacks and boxes of fancy cereal etc. If they ever said ‘I’m hungry!’ It was ‘make a sandwich, have some Weetbix! (Which is cereal. But a staple in Australian households and low in sugar) None of my boys are overweight. So I did my bit for healthy adults lol. Me however. Once they were in bed it was my time to grab the remote and watch my tv shows etc. out came ‘mums stash’ I’d sit up later and later. Eat more and more rubbish. Now they’re all grown and gone I still eat nightly junk food. I have a sugar addiction.

I definitely wouldn't underestimate the power of eating enough protein (for your body's needs). It's impressive how much it stops cravings in its tracks

This is me Leanne- being a mum is so hard and when that small window of downtime comes I feel like I try to shovel as much fun/rnr/ chocolate into it as I can. It makes me feel free for a short space of time. Ironically the more I did it the more trapped I felt, so now I'm trying to prove to myself I dont need to eat it for the 21 days.... and now I'm trapped by intense food cravings. Am hoping maybe implementing some of this advice may help me moving forward cos I feel like giving in but I know I'll be so angry with myself when I do... but then maybe that's part of the problem too ..... ahhh psychological minefield!

oh wow i didn't realize this video just came out 2 days ago. I searched "sugar addict" in youtube because i'm a sugar addict and i want to quit, or at least better manage, my sugar intake but it's so hard. I think to start yes I'll quit sugar cold turkey with the exception of those chocolate protein bars, i know one or two of those makes me full if i have to snack outside of my meal times, so i think i can do this! and then over time, i can cut out the chocolate protein bars. just thinking out loud thanks for this vid!

Hi, how can I as a vegetarian ensure getting enough high quality protein? I do eat eggs, Joghurt and cheese, but no meat. Any hints?

@SometimesMyself 28 күн бұрын

I was a sugar fiend until recently. When a blood test came back showing a slightly elevated A1C, I decided to implement immediate change. I haven’t gone crazy with it, but I almost entirely cut out added sugar. I still get plenty of sugar in the form of fruit, and daily have a big bowl of plain Siggi’s with blueberries and strawberries. I top that with 1/4 cup of Nature’s Path Pumpkin Flax granola, which adds plenty of sweetness, but only about 3 grams of sugar. I’m easily staying well below 10 grams of added sugar each day. If I really want a treat, I’ll have some Breyer’s Carb Smart ice cream (the chocolate peanut butter is amazing). I’ll be retested in a month, and fully expect better results. Oh, and I majorly ramped up my protein intake.

Thanks for the advice, I honestly thought sugar in fruit was okay because it's natural! I'll still eat grapes etc now I know (just not as much). I had no idea there was sugar in a banana! I've cut down from one large one to a small one per day now.

Dropped seven prescription drugs I was supposed to be on for life. By cutting out processed foods, processed sugar and moderate exercise.Not to mention lost forty pounds and kept it off for eleven years. Can definitely be done if you are committed to the process. My diet consist mainly of fruits, vegetables, nuts, seeds, and meat twice a week. (And lots of herbal teas) If you eat these foods, you can eat as much as you want and not gain weight. (Nuts and seeds do not cause you to gain weight)

The eating more protein thing is SO real. I used to crave sugar allll the time and would over eat bc of it and so I realized (after researching for a while) I probably need more protein (I'm not a huge meat eater only would have meat on average one meal a day) and so I started drinking a protein coffee with collagen in it (the collagen is just for my skin lol nothing to do with the topic) and I have no cravings anymore. It's the best decision I've ever made for weight loss and being healthier in general. I use the Owyn plant based Protein Powder. Edit: I just got to the part of the video where she said that using collagen helps even more and thought it was funny that I didn't even realize the collagen was helping too so I'm leaving it in XD
