The Best Way to Get Off Sugar

Wish I saw this a year ago. It’s been an awful year and I would have been so much better off if I had quit sugar cold turkey!

I've never done an illegal drug, been an alcoholic or smoked in my life. I'm 53. Quitting sugar has been impossible. I gotta believe it rates right up there with quitting those other bad habits.

What would you recommend then for someone who needs to gain weight?

Does 'not eating sugar' mean to avoid fruits as well or we can have fruits, ofcourse in moderate quantities?

When I saw the clip of the lady throwing out the muffins, I thought to myself, "WHAT ARE YOU DOING!!?? DON'T DO THAT!!"

Yup! I have a problem. 😲

When you say quit sugar - does that include quitting jaggery, stevia, organic maple syrup etc too? Or just refined sugar? Pls clarify

So there is no such thing as “cheat days” when you want to eliminate sugar completely out of your diet? What about the occasional birthday cake and ice cream at parties and such? Would those sugar cravings ramp back up after you are off of it for a period of time?

Doc, it would be great if you got a board you could type your wordage into instead of printing. Makes it much easier to screenshot your suggestions and makes it easier to read . . .

Does this include removing dates from your diet? I supplement alot with dates! What about bananas?! Can't live without them! Do you have a sample plan of what to eat?

Why is breakfast ill-advised?

I had my eye lids twitching none stop my skin was breaking out I gave up sugars I have clear skin people often ask me what I use to keep my face clean they don’t believe me when I say I gave up sugar and all that eye lid twitching went away and I lost over 50lbs so far if someone would have told me it be this easy I wouldn’t believe it

You telling people to go keto no fruit ! I disagree

I'm off sugar the pain in my side went away....and so I'm done

Again Dr. Berg, what is the name of the oil and where can you purchase it ? Thanks.

does anybody know how much MCT oil to take? And is he suggesting twice/day with the meals? I'm going to buy some but would like to know how much I should be taking.

Ketones In MCT Oil? Where Do I Buy This?

So true!! I have been on Keto for a year and I started off rocky the first 3-4 months, I finally started learning more and getting on track. I lost about 40 lbs, gave into the sugar cravings, had cheat times, started regaining some weight, I didn’t want to back track so I started watching several of your videos, taking the advice & doing it, I’m not almost to my goal weight, I’m eating 2 meals a day, no snacking, going to the gym before I eat, staying off sugar. It’s not been bad at all. I’m feeling better and I’ve lost an additional 3 lbs, I feel like it’s kick started my metabolism. Thank you so much!!!!!

How much mct oil per day do you recommend?

what to do with the headaches after stopping sugar cold turkey?

Hi Dr Berg 🥰 Why is MCT oil better as Oliven oil?🙏

Please tell me about ketone meals😢

My sugar cravings come in the evening. I don’t think about sweets during the day. I will shop for my sugar craving during the day. I didn’t realize I was doing that that but I do realize it now. I cannot but cookies because they will be eaten like chips in the evening. I just threw out another jar of jam because I make jam roll up or sandwiches. It’s totally crazy. I have throwen out my sugar jams cereals breads coca powder etc…and when I am shopping I think it’s ok to buy them again. I have managed to 30 lbs but it’s starting to come back. Grrr…I’m so frustrated with this stupid time wasting expensive behaviour. It’s always in the evenings very rarely during the daytime hours will I want any sugar. I can even make it to bed without sweets only to wake up a short while later believing it’s ok to go make something without even being hungry. I’m throwing out my stashes again…I don’t desire bagged things like chips or chocolate bars, it’s always quick fixes like you hurt, jam and granola etc. I’m worried for my body because of this. It’s been years and I want this behaviour stopped.
(I’ve tried fixing my spelling issues here but they don’t stay spelled correctly…sorry…I’m Canadian 😂)

Hi Dr,
Which fruit, vegetables, food in general we should avoid so we don't consume sugar. Could you please make a video about that?

One way I get off sugar is I go back to Dr. Eric Berg's video called "What Happens to Your Body When You Quit Sugar for 14 Days" and I replay that video before eating some pancakes. I'd replay it twice if needed lol. Because, listening to all of the side effects and damage that sugar does to the body and how brutal it can be was enough to get me to reconsider what I eat.

How can one gain weight when ketosis is heightened?

I've had sugar addiction. Sugar affects my thyroid tests.

I was just gonna say a lot of my sugar addiction is a mental thing. I’m so used to eating it that I feel like I should eat it to “feel good”

I crave sugar mostly due to the insomnia meds I take. It makes my cravings worse, especially in the middle of the night. I've been a chronic insomniac for 2 decades and every single med I try gives me the munchies. I don't know what to do because I need to sleep, otherwise I feel much worse and eat much worse. Idk what to do about this. If only I could sleep naturally, things would be so much better

I thought I had successfully quit sugar, but I realized I have over time replaced added sugar with lots and lots of fruit. Can I go off fruit for about 2 weeks to cut sugar from fruit. If I understand well, sugar IS sugar, and any excess will be stored as fat?

I don't eat sugar or fruit but I do still eat bread and pasta and I feel stupid

Its impossible to fit into 30g of carbs, if i have for lunch something like pasta im automaticly over...

I had a restriction on my Washington drivers licence for decades for glasses (corrective lenses) to drive
I became a carnivore with a little sugar cheating a couple years ago but the more dedicated to the carnivore lifestyle I became I couldn't drive with my glasses on and see clearly. A month ago I moved to Northern Idaho and went to get my Idaho DL and my corrective lens requirements was dropped because being a carnivore and eliminating sugar improved my health. FYI, I am 69 years old but people here are guessing me to be in my early 50's.😎

what your eating instead? no vegetables no rice no bread no corn. so only meat fish ... sounds expensive

I was wondering is there a particular brand of this mct oil?

How much MCT oil daily I should have?

I’m getting ready to quit sugar starting today

no one really talks about people who need to get off sugar BUT DON"T EAT MEAT

I really need this. So sick of feeling ill due to sugar. I suffer from migraines. Will be starting this NOW. Need to figure out the 30 g of carb a day and no snacking Here I go. Thanks Dr Berg

Does anyone have a recommendation for MCT oil? The link Dr Berg provided for his (above) takes me to his page, but there's no MCT oil there??

I just had a teaspoon of peanut butter wha😮

I tried to quit eating sugar 2 times… no success. My 3rd attempt…

How do I go about this if I don’t want to lose any more weight?

Juice feast is the way

I think something is wrong with my body I’ve tried carnivore and it’s making me crave MORE SUGAR and I’m super tired been doing it for 2 weeks depression and anxiety are bad too.

I'm vegetarian, so what things is there low carb to eat besides meat?

Randy can really sing! Every time I watch this, I am loving it more....

Day 5 of no sugar for me, due to need to reverse my fatty liver. Oh boy, the withdrawals are not easy for the first 2 days but then it does get a lot better.

Thank you Doc..u seriously have the absolute best content ! I share it out ALOT! to help people

Cant even think how many times ive tried to quit sugar. Well after listening to Dr Bergs video here we go again. Holiday over, Easters over, xmas long gone so lets try again. No excuses this time.

I wanna get off white rice, potatoes, bread, and sugar. From tomorrow, 15th May 2023, I wanna go cold turkey. I can't deal. I'm working out, but for some reason, my body just gains back the weight I lose and goes to the weight I was. It seems to be stuck on 85kg. I don't go over that number. Guess because I weighed 85kg for so long it feels comfortable and goes back to it. 😅
