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.
Same. I can't believe I used to eat a pint of ice cream every night. Then I went on a pixy stix kick where I was driving around to all the dollar stores buying them all out. I was particularly fond of the blue straws. I was never fat in the traditional sense, sure I could have lost a few pounds. And when I cut all that out, that's exactly what I did.
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.
That is odd. Normally you hear that when an alcoholic stops drinking they crave sugar. My mom sure did.
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.
All true, and reducing dietary sugar long term is probably the best thing you can do for your health. I was directing my comment towards insulin resistance, where the problem is not just excess sugar in the blood, but also in the cells. When the cells have all the sugar they need to generate ATP, they don't absorb it from the blood regardless of the amount of insulin present.
