It's strange that so many videos that give advice on quitting sugar are filled with clips of people eating frosted cakes. I found the same with videos on quitting smoking showing lots of people smoking. Surely imagery of happy, people full of vitality engaging in healthy activities and eating colourful, healthy food would be more motivating.

Was even told by my pain doctor to file for disability! I can’t accept that! I’m too young! I feel like giving up sugar will help me get fit & less depression! I’m desperate to get fit & pain free.

I used to have ferocious sugar cravings and found it nearly impossible to go w/o sugar, if I passed sugary sweets in the break room they stayed on my mind , always chose the most frosted piece of cake, etc. Over a year ago I started taking berberine (500mg w/ each meal) and it changed my taste preferences. I even found it hard to eat such sugary foods, the taste was no longer appealing, a bit revolting. It took about a week but it happened.

Talking about being an addict in the beginning. It's actually true. Sugar is just as addictive as opioids on the brain. There is a 12-step program called overeaters anonymous which helps address that part. Sometimes we have to find out the why behind it.... It could be physical. Could be mental, could be trauma. I believe it's all. I'm currently being treated for candida overgrowth. Glad I found this video.

For decades I was hooked on sugar but also salt (ready salted crisps/chips, family size, 3 bags a day) and refined flour (pastries, 3 pizzas a day). I had no idea about how extreme your food addiction was too, Karli, so I'm even more impressed with what you've achieved, your discipline in sticking to a WFPB way of eating and the positive, effective way in which you help people (also very impressed with the healthy way you raise your gorgeous daughter). It's so important to find something you love about yourself (creativity, kindness, love of nature and animals) and believe that you deserve better, you deserve to be healthy and free from addiction. I too became addicted to junk food in childhood and I alternated between bingeing and extreme dieting from age 12 to age 54, I was suicidal and depressed, agoraphobic, out of work. What actually saved me was being in lockdown because I could only order food online and I simply stopped ordering junk and only bought salads, fruits and veggies, falafel and hummus, there was simply no more junk in the house so I gradually weaned myself off junk food and lost weight immediately. For some reason a KZfaq video about WFPB eating popped into my recommended videos and this time I listened and acted on it. I've now been WFPB oil & sugar-free for 3 years, slim and maintaining my slim weight for the first time in my life. Still working on reducing salt but I've just done all my blood tests and everything's fine, I'm no longer pre-diabetic and I make sure I always tell my doctor and my dentist that the reason why I'm so well now is that I'm WFPB. Thank you Karli

@noramaddock4165 5 ай бұрын
@@user-kh1cb3kq8zI genuinely don’t. Not eating sugar and chocolate at all is the absolute key for me. I’m sure that if I ate even a bit, I would crave it incessantly. I do recall that, I frequently made myself oatmeal cooked with one frozen banana and 1 tbsp of unsweetened cocoa powder, and then cooled with frozen blueberries and it totally satisfied any cravings. There is a recipe on my channel (my channel is keeping it simple. If you search for that and “sweet potato”, you should find me.) Another key for me is making absolutely sure I am eating to complete satisfaction with whole, wet starches. I eat a lot of whole fruits, veggies, and starches to keep my hunger satisfied. Moderation, for me, never worked. As much as I wish I could be that type of person.

Thanks for the video. As a person who tried a vegan diet for a while l can say that the scariest thing about quitting sugar is that these things are actually lifestyle changes. We need to realize that major dietary changes may mean that we can no longer eat at most restaurants, eat most food served at events or parties, cafeterias, etc. This makes it especially hard for children who are exposed to these foods when they're away from you. So the real question becomes, "Are you willing to change your lifestyle?"

I found this video very helpful. I was also raised on sugar. The difference is that I'm now 62 and and in the last few years, this sugar based lifestyle has caught up to me. I have a lot of the issues you've mentioned, mostly just feeling like garbage all the time. Five days ago, I decided to try to give up sugar, and experienced a lot of withdrawal symptoms, dizziness, irritability and depression. Yesterday, I gave in and ate a fair amount of sugar, but I am not giving up. I do need to remind myself of the reasons I'm doing this. To be able to feel better, have better looking skin, to not feel like garbage at the end of the day, to be able to have some long lasting energy would be great! Do you have ay tips for helping the withdrawal symptoms ? Is it better to quit cold turkey or wean off of sugar? I'm trying to think of sugar as poison, so I think I just answered my now question! Would I wean myself off of poison? No. But thank you for this video, it's nice to know there are others out there working on this too!

Eating home made food, and nature’s natural sugar. So eating a lot of apples especially. Once to begin the journey, you truly have no desire to put any sugar, processed factory made foods.

In my practice, fruit sugar has only been an issue for clients when the sugar has been extracted from the fruit. But eating the fruit whole hasn't led to craving, distress, etc. And on the flip side- whole fruit is very health-promoting. But if fruit is triggering for you- by all means, do what you feel is best for your body. Thanks for commenting

I didn’t mind the backstory, and the tips seem really good. My question is this: I see so many of these types of videos, and the person telling us they had this severe sugar addiction is slim and trim. Most of us with a severe sugar addiction also have extra weight. so then I start questioning the veracity of the backstory. But it certainly could be somebody’s backstory… And maybe not everybody gains weight while eating that much sugar. But wow, I would say that’s an unusual metabolism.
@NaturallyKarli 2 ай бұрын

Hi Joanna! It depends on how sensitive someone is. I always give fruit the green light but some people find bread and pasta to be too triggering. In general, I find it helpful to remove any questionable items for a month or so before slowly adding them back in and observing how you feel. These processed items can bring about cravings and excessive preoccupations with food for some. Awareness is key 😊
