If people cut sugar from their life, overall health and wellbeing of this world will shoot up a million times.
I somehow crossed paths with the right people in the early 90s who knew this. I reduced my 2L/day cola habit down to zero, cut out all the other bs, and the hidden bs like Chinese food, most take-out, etc.
Fast forward a few decades, I’m the only one in my entire (biological) family not on any meds.
Hell, my mom just had a cancerous section of her GI tract removed and an illiostomy installed.. That was two months ago, and she’s been back to the hospital 8 times because she keeps signing herself out “against medical advice” so she can go home and have “real food and soda” (like Burger King, Chinese food, fried food… none of which are allowed, so she ends up back in the ER).
The addiction blows my mind. I preach it all the time to friends and family: try avoiding sugar for just one week. They can’t even try, and fail to realize that’s the addiction.
The sad part is that if you just cut off sugar for a few days your insulin Resistance reduces and your cravings also reduce drastically.
Good point.
Speaking of which, I should’ve clarified.. when I tell people about sugars, I tell them it’s all sweeteners, natural and artificial. Blank NPC stares. “But the TV told us diet soda is better.”
Yes! This!
It's an addiction and they will fight tooth and nail to continue getting their fix.
I know this because I'm addicted to sugars and sweeteners. Eating carnivore is the best thing I've ever done for myself.
I've also found when I increase protein (in addition to cutting off sugar) I rarely crave sugar. I also cut out grains and, of course, junk food.
I've somehow avoided surgery things, which is odd because I'm an alcoholic and am very susceptible to addiction. They say sugar is worse than heroin.
Yeah, proteins gives you that "full feeling". This is why eating a steak makes you full and takes away any cravings.
This is true, but increased activity is the best remedy for hyperglycemia and insulin resistance. A sedentary body doesn't use much fuel, so the cells have all the glucose they need. They don't need to use the glucose circulating in the blood. They can use a minimal amount. Activity requires your cells to produce ATP for energy, which uses glucose and oxygen. When your cells use up their available glucose, they will accept more from the blood supply. Cutting out dietary sugar does lower the amount of glucose in the blood and decreases vascular damage, but until the cells need more glucose to generate ATP, they won't absorb it from the blood.
Yeah the amount of sugar you take in is directly proportional to the amount of bodily activity. In olden days when humans had to constantly be on the move, hunting, running away from predators etc, they needed to consume massive amounts of sugar. Infact, sugar was so crucial that we evolved to really love the sweet taste.
As for the sugar in the blood - it gets converted into fat by the liver and stored away in various places - under the skin fat, liver fat etc. When you cut off sugar intake, body starts burning this stored fat. Hence when you do no sugar/low carb/IF etc, you will start losing weight so quickly.
Sugar - life's first addiction!
I have been reading the Good Gut Diet by Gerard Mullen. Good read, good info, good practice. He equates our gut microbiome to the Amazon rain forest, and advocates a weed, seed and feed approach to bringing it (and so us) back into good health.
