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

Thanks for watching and all the nice comments! If you guys want to see more diet related challenges, you can check out my most recent here: https://youtu.be/c-vKI6S54AE

I tried going off sugar too for 30 days and salty things really helped. But the key is looking for balance in my diet.

I am 1 week into my sugar fast. I’m glad I’m not alone 😭

Love this video! Spot on 😊

I haven't had sugar in 4 months and I didn't notice any of the issues you mention. maybe those issues were just specific to you.

30 days sober and my new life changing goal is 30 days no sugar. I have been eating sweets more since I quit drinking. It has to be done . no sugar!!

I thought you were going to smash that cake on your face?? Come on man

Started my zero carb/zero sugar diet on 1/1/22. I’ve lost 64 pounds. I’m a fat pig and need to knock off 25 more to be at perfect weight for a 63 year old guy at 5’11”

The secret to being super lean and healthy is to simply eat only natural foods (any food that comes directly from the earth or an animal). Eat absolutely nothing processed by man, and you will be healthy and look great. Following that one rule… you will naturally consume a minuscule amount of sugar, and that's natural sugar which is offset by fiber.

In a roundabout way you said it. It's hard eating healthy. Most of the stuff on shelves today were not food 100 years ago.

I'm sugar free for about 2 months now. I have lost about 7kg for now. Some side effect that I didn't expect – I don't feel hungry. Like at all. Now I have to remember that I need to eat, not go and eat cause hungry. Sometimes I go out and feel dizzy or get tired, and I just remember – oh yes I forgot to eat. However in general I have way more energy than before, except when I forget to eat for 24 hours or so. But when I eat normally then feeling tons better than before. Another thing – I wasn't able to drink amount of water that I should, even when forced myself, it started to make me sick. Now I am able, I don't want to eat, but I do want to drink.

Try booja booja icecream to satisfy your sweet tooth, if you can get it in the us that is and it has zero refined sugar!! Its organic and only 6 ingredients and its a multi award winning. They sugar coconut blosum sugar and agarve for the sweetner oh and its vegan too. Its amazing icecream

I love sugar, and I will die eating it.

Are you stupid going cold turkey with sugar? You wanna die? Sugar is a drug, more addictive than cocaine in lab rats. You were going through withdrawals which could have sent you to the hospital. Ever heard of weening off?
You took a dangerous risk just to do a dumb video.

What a misleading video. Should be called – Í quit added sugar’. Eating fruit, bread, popcorn, rice cakes, etc hardly qualifies as quitting sugar!

You have to cut out the starch too, as soon as it is digested it turns into sugar. Your body does not distinguish between normal and added sugars. Fruit is FULL of sugar.

That was fun! I have done this diet before and had great results. I think it’s time to revisit the “no sugar” regimen once again. I have to say, after being off the “unnatural” sugar, when I had it, it was off the charts sweet and I didn’t enjoy it. Wish me luck. Tomorrow starts my 30 days.

Watching this while eating my Krispy Kreeme donuts 😄

For a snack try popcorn with nutritional yeast, salt, onion powder, garlic powder, paprika, chili powder and ground cumin. Tastes like Doritos. I just eyeball the amounts, found the recipe on YouTube.

Sugar that stuff that hits the spot without the nose bleeds

Its quite possible explanation of your crashing was instead of dopemine addications more likely to be something like gut bateria changing.
You may have been feeding specific bacteria ( perhaps not good ones like candida). You might have experienced something like candida die off without realising it?
Either way you get way better without sugar is the key long term improvement and goal so well done high five.
Also feel its up to food industry or services to put the fun into healthier eating and not restricting choices. There is a market they just have to listen and stop being the pusher.

New viewer here. I like the name "Goal Guys." That sets the right tone for how someone should live. New subscriber.

Thank you for the reminder that sugar is bad and in everything… boo!

Remember this, the more low fat a product is, the more sugar is in it.

You can totally makes cakes and desserts that are either whole food based (no added sugar) or keto (no added sugar) and still have those special treats like a birthday cake!

Great balanced video, so well shot, your style is great, upbeat, funny and gets the information across without a lecture, thank you. I will watch more of your content.

I rarely eat sugar as i find sweet food doesn't interest me. Never knew people withdraw from it. I like meals and no puddings.

Sweet potato fries with Cajun seasoning are AMAZING. Definitely experiment with Cajun seasoning. It's good on a LOT of things.

Stop listening to idiots who tell you: Stop eating sugar. I've taught biochemistry…

Also, who drew that picture on the wall over your couch? Because it reminds me of a picture that my sister drew.

I quit sugar a year ago and I now weigh the same as I did at 15 and feel healthy AF .
I also quit all breakfast cereals as they contain glyphosate , I don't drink or cook with tap water as it contains floride , I don't eat pork as it contains many poisons , sweets cakes milk bread and processed food are all contaminated with chemicals and if you add everything you eat up and then count the poisons you will quit it all too , I eat fresh everyday and make everything myself .

How much weight have you lost? I cut out sugar in drinks of Tea & coffee and on breakfast cereal and lost 7 pounds. That's a simple change. Once you start examining labels of every food product its amazing how much added sugar there is even where I wouldn't expect it like Corned beef.

So that is why I feel so sick lately. I tried to cut down on sugar just to see what would happen. I had the same problems as you…. everything has sugar in it and over the last 2 weeks I´m so low on energy… Not good when you have stuff to do for university. I guess for now I just reduce instead of cancelling it completely.

I'd be interested in seeing what your blood sugar levels were before and after. and notice anything when you did have sugar after the 30 days?

The cravings come from malnourishment. You need a well planned pallette of spices and a good amount of meat. Get some tumeric, ginger, garlic and onion in bulk. Keep your meats a little pink so the fats maintain more nutrients. Often I only crave one meal a day I have tons of energy and I live a very healthy life. Sometimes I'll add some whole milk, fresh butter etc to my diet. Cooking on cast iron helps too. The thing is if you are hungry or thirsty you are already malnourished.
