I occasionally set myself a timeframe when I avoid consuming added sugar. I still eat carbs and fruits and all that, just no added sugar and by extension no cake, candy, ice cream etc. I never have any problems with that, it is not too hard to do and at the end I am able to listen to my body better. I can better listen to my hunger and fullness queues and get more satisfaction from my food even weeks and months after it. It is usually anywhere from 2 weeks to a month, depending on birthdays or other celebrations coming up. Not going to skip a birthday cake!
Yes but it is factually and scientifically proven to set yourself up for failure and/or eating disorders. Not to mention, talking about it can trigger other people’s EDs or cause people to develop EDs, most notably, children or your children.
@@ThatDataLady if me not eating added sugar for 3 weeks without making a big deal about it causes you to develop an ED you have bigger problems and seriously need help. I don’t preach to others that they should do the same. Me saying no thank you to someone offering me something with sugar in it does not affect you. I don’t even have to give a reason for my no thank you. Do you get an ED everytime someone around you declines a slice of cake on a regular day or orders water instead of soda with their meal? You wouldn’t even know I’m doing that unless you are a close friend and in that case you support what has made me feel good in the past. Or if you are an overbaring stranger who has to be rude to everyone and press for why I don’t have sugar. Again how would you even notice a stranger is doing that? Like I said doing this makes me feel good. It helps me to listen to my body better even for many weeks after. And it is not that hard for me. You don’t have to do it. I am sharing my experience in a place that is apropriate to do so. I don’t need to disclose my ED past to you and you don’t get to say what is working for me. An ED is about so much more than not having sweet snacks for a few weeks. After just a few days I don’t even want a sweet snack anymore. That said I would of course not turn down cake or anything else i usually like should a celebration of some kind come up in that few week period I wanted to do. This is not ED behaviour. This is finding out what works for me, makes me feel good in the long run and taking care of myself.
I sometimes go for a “no sugar unless offered” rule for myself! Usually following holiday seasons etc when I’ve been eating a lot of it and I’m falling into that good ol trap of eating more just because I can, and not because it actually satisfies me.
Just means that I ofc partake during parties and events, or if someone in my family bakes, but I do not let myself be the one who decides to have it.
@@RebeckadV oh that sounds good too. I’m happy you found something that works for you. “Offered” would be far too often in my case. I work in a nusing home and eat there twice a week on my long days. There is dessert. Most times something sweet. There is rarely a week where nobody brings in something sweet for everyone or offers to share something. And most weeks the kitchen sends us something to the office to have during work. Sounds like an amazing place to work at and so it is!
@@ThatDataLadywhat’re you talking about??? Factually and scientifically proven!? You’re just making stuff up, giving up added sugar can actually be helpful for some people, esp binge eaters bc those kind of foods can trigger binge episodes
Added sugars are in almost everything! Eating more whole foods naturally eliminates the “added sugar” component.
Although, most people don’t have the time and/or the resources to make homemade spaghetti sauce from fresh tomatoes any longer. Adding in veggies to the store bought sauce helps with the fiber content and cutting back on the huge sugar spike afterward.
I highly recommend Mutti brand tomato sauce. It’s Italian and made from tomatoes and salt—best passata di pomodoro you can get without making it yourself 💖
100% agree!
Nah my workouts and trail runs are always much better when I have a banana in my oatmeal. Also doesn’t your brain exclusively run on glucose?
Body is capable to turn almost everything in glucose when needed. And yes, there are parts of the brain which dont do as effectively on ketones
i did this diet for months and it turned my eating disorder out of control. two years later i’m still dealing with the consequences
sorry that happened to you. I’ve had amazing success with her nutrition advice. Hope you find your “peace with food.”
@@jupeter24 autumn? or abbey?
@@Krenzartha lol, neither 😸
@@jupeter24 you said “her” nutrition advice. who?
Unfortunately such a common story, so many people who have an ED now started with the hopes for improved health through a diet. Keep on the journey to finding your way back <3
I wouldn’t last one meal. I don’t even know what I would eat. I eat at least 40% of this list in a day.
It is so hard to go 0 sugar & I AGREE that it can encourage disordered eating. But, I do feel WAY better when I’m not consuming any sugar. I’m just not sure how to balance that dynamic.
I just do a whole foods way of eating. It works the best for me. ❤
I had really severe PCOS and no health insurance and honestly it did really help my symptoms a lot, it even helped with my plantar fasciitis inflammation. But it just wasn’t sustainable after a month or two, I felt like such an extremist because unfortunately everything these days is made with sugar so you have to avoid way too many foods or make them yourself. Zero sugar isn’t realistic, but I find low sugar works well and is more feasible.
My “no sugar” detox has only been significantly lowering my processed sugar (I was eating processed sugar almost every meal) that was the only change I needed and it’s worked so well for my energy levels. The no fruit thing will always be sus to me
I needed to hear this!
Thank youuuu for saying the truth!!!
Thank you for rational maintainable sensible advice on eating. As someone who has always had a messed up relationship with food who is now getting near 60 years old I am finally starting to realize that is doesn’t have to be so complicated and making so many rules is a big problem, I decided to “lighten up” my attitude towards foods and that alone has made a difference.
this was so validating to hear. one of my older coworkers this week was shaming me for getting some potato salad and a tea earlier this week when i was feeling really sick. it caused me to feel really horrible and bad about myself. this video was really comforting to hear, thank you
Different foods for different people! At the end of the day you have to honor what your body is telling you you need, or don’t need <3
avoid that coworker at all costs
when I did a no PROCESSED sugar diet still ate honey, açaí bowls, fruits and it did WONDERS for me personally. Wasn’t craving sugar, better sleeps, less tired and fatigued, and de-bloated a lot.
Honestly, removing added sugars cold turkey I found was a great day to reset my body’s expectations for sugars. After that, one bite of a donut and I was done because of how sweet it was. Didn’t last forever, but honestly the rebound wasn’t as hard as I thought it was to recover from.
Sugar detoxing is a bad term but an incredible practice. Sugar alters how you think and feel. HIGHLY recommend taking a [sugar break] at least once a year. (Think how small of a time that is)
I’ve been on a carnivore diet for over a year, lost 55 lb, and reversed several health conditions. I could care less if I ever see sugar again.
Ohhh I hear you!
But I think that we now know that this chick (“influencer”, as they call them now) must be receiving funding from the sugar lobby and/or Big Harma. How gullible does she think we are?
I’m a 55 year old perimenopausal woman in Belgium who “had” Hypothyroïdism but cured it within 2.5 months by eating a carnivore/keto diet, taking Lugol’s 5% every morning on an empty stomach and doing a once-a-week 24 hr fast.
In the process, I dropped 14.6kg (about 30lbs) and without even taking any supplements, my Vitamin D shot up to 68 !
And that chick is going to tell me that cutting out sugar “doesn’t work” ?!?😂
I lost 57 pounds on keto and gained it all back plus some because I couldn’t go without fruit, rice, beans and grains!!🤷🏻♀️
There is such a thing as people who don’t particularly like sugar so to me it feels unnecessary to eat it, i’ll avoid it in food if i can as i’m not going to enjoy it more if it’s there. Love salt and fats though 🙂
I aim to avoid added sugar most of the time, because I feel like crap when I eat a lot of sugar. But I still consume plenty of sugar from fruit, milk, etc. I did many sugar detoxes and Whole30s when I was in my 20s and it always backfired. I’ve found that if I just eat according to how I feel, but with no set rules, I feel so much better physically and mentally.
