What Happens If You Stop Eating Sugar for 14 Days - Dr.Berg On Quitting Sugar Cravings

so the question is what would actually happen to your body if you really gave up sugar I mean completely for two weeks let's take a look at that number one you are gonna lose your appetite to sugar why because every time you consume sugar a hormone comes in there and pushes your blood sugars down causing a low blood sugar situation hypoglycemia to some degree and that is going to cause you to crave sugar so by getting rid of sugar you get rid of the craving for sugar number two you're gonna be less hungry until you do this you won't really fully know but I'm telling you it's the sugar that keeps you hungry all the time when you give up the sugar you become a lot less hungry why because you stabilize your blood sugars and now your cells can be actually fed because when you're living in sugar because the sugar is toxic to the body the body starts rejecting it that's called insulin resistance so the body is blocking insulin because that controls sugar and what your body's really trying to do is limit the amount of sugar inside the cells so the body doesn't consider it a good thing it's a bad thing so when you give it up this thing could reverse and not only can you now absorb proper amounts of fuel you'll absorb nutrients a lot better too because insulin resistance also blocks nutrients minerals vitamins and that's one of the functions of insulin alright number three you're gonna have less fatigue especially after eating a meal when you're eating sugar on a regular basis usually you're gonna be tired after you eat and that is a blood sugar thing but you're gonna find that you're no longer gonna be that tired after you eat it just means that now you're no longer having higher sugar which basically makes the brain tired it's normal sugar and now your brain can be awake alright number four you're gonna lose excessive water and fat for the first week you're gonna dump a lot of water in some fat but after that it's going to be more and more fun you're going to be surprised how much fluid you were retaining some people within one week can lose about 13 pounds of fluid they're holding that fluid around and that can't be that healthy for the heart of course you're gonna see your your clothes loosening especially on the midsection your gut your waist is one of the best indicators to tell if you're doing too much sugar if you reduce the sugar the stomach shrinks if you eat the sugar your stomach will expand okay number five enhanced mood so if you were grouchy before you're now gonna be a lot calmer less stressed and you're gonna be actually nice to be around okay that's good also your cognitive function will improve so you're you're gonna feel more focused you can have more concentration you'll be less ADD more attention to focus on your projects okay number six your skin is gonna look much better you're gonna have less acne your skin's gonna glow and that's just a reflection of what happens when you consume sugar your insulin goes up and also the hormone androgens and we're talking about females antigen will go up and that's gonna create acne in a male body the increased insulin will lower testosterone so you're gonna have other problems that are associated with low testosterone alright number seven you have less stiffness so you're gonna have less inflammation you're gonna have less pain so what's happening is all we're doing is we're converting your fuel from sugar to fat it takes three days okay of cutting down the carbohydrates and the sugar you may have a worsening of the symptoms for three days okay guys anyone can actually handle three days and if you took some B vitamins from nutritional yeast and some potassium you probably won't have any symptoms so it's going to be relatively easy at the cellular level you're building new enzymes to run your body off fat fuel okay that's what's happening here you have little machines that are literally changing over to a different fuel source that's what's happening over these two weeks you're getting decrease inflammation in your arteries okay that's what's happening when you get off sugar less inflammation it's going to help you the long run prevent a clot or plaquing and help reduce the risk of a stroke and a heart attack also you'll start growing brain cells why because when you reduce sugar then you run your body and a different source of fuel called ketones and ketones support the growth of nerve cells alright next one the liver you're gonna start dumping some of this fat that's been accumulating in your liver and you can use that as fuel so you're on your way to cleaning out the liver so it's no longer fatty by the way as a side note if you have a large belly chances are you have a fatty liver okay so by doing this you will reduce the fat inside your liver and lastly you're gonna have better kidney function take a look at a diabetic the kidney is the target for problems when you actually cut down the amount of sugar reduce the carb you can improve kidney function greatly alright guys there you have it you may want to try this the proofs in the pudding maybe I should talk about pudding but this is the icing on the cake now maybe
