  3 years. 3 years i have avoided every sugar base products that I usually consume and I went from 178 to 145 lbs. I usually sleep 9 hours and weekdays would be 12 hours now I sleep max 7 hours and I exercise 2x in day, eat once and work w/o feeling fatigue during the day. Best decision of my life.

  No doubt dumping sugar would also go a long way in cancer prevention and cancer treatment ❤

  🦋 Dr. Lusting, I was diagnosed with sugar, grain, acid, dust, feather allergies. What I thought to be a curse as a child, turned out to be a blessing. In my 70s, 5&apos;1&quot;, 110 lbs. exercise 6 days a week, no pain and no meds.<br><br>Three sisters who smoked and drank alcohol excessively died at 46, 64 &amp; 65.<br><br>Genes are only 20% of who we are. My 85 year old sister who doesn&apos;t smoke or drink alcohol just started her Spring cleaning.😂 <br><br>Life is a wonderful adventure! Quality of it is important and not to be taken for granted. Happy, Healthy New Year! 🦋

  The first 3 days are the hardest. I quit drugs after 7 yr addiction and sugar was way harder.

  I have given up sugar and processed foods because food has taken over my life since the age of 4. I am 56 now and overweight weighing nearly 200 in January. I have reduced my weight to 171 and still going down. But the best part is the cravings and binge eating have stopped. My mood is so much better and no body pain. Sugar was and is a drug that for me was very toxic.

  I have decided to go on Whole30 for the month of Jan. 2024. I was hooked on sugar, and my hormones have been out of whack these past couple of months. I am allowed no added sugar, no processed food, no dairy, no fried food, no caffeine. My skin is already clearing up. My energy is not high, yet. But it is getting better every day. I will be buying more sea moss gel to take daily. My digestive system is still getting used to this, but it is also improving. I mostly cook at home so I know what’s going into my food. I have found some fantastic recipes for Whole30 so excited for this journey.

  I was a chronic-bingeing sugarholic. Some days I’d eat a dozen donuts a morning. Other times I’d eat a 40oz bag of skittles in 5-7 days. I had a terrible addiction. I quit cold turkey on Feb. 10th, 2018. I would pass by a sweet snack and would involuntarily reach for it. I would get this surreal feeling kind of like being somewhere that you shouldn’t be. It took a long time to break that feeling. Now, I have 1 cheat day every year. I eat my birthday cake.

  Another thing to keep in mind when listening to Dr. Lustig is that he is from Brooklyn and got his bachelor’s degree in nutrtional biochemistry from MIT. So if you’re wrong, he is going to let you know it 12 ways from noon. He is a scientist’s scientist. More power to him.

  Dr. Lustig is full of it. Full of the most brilliant, insightful, and scientific facts you will find on the subject. Listen to him if you value truth and health.

  Sugar is in a majority of supermarket products, it&apos;s very difficult to escape it, hence the population getting sicker

  I m going on 3 weeks of no process sugar and my friends and family tell me I don’t need to cut sugar out because I’m thin. But in doing it because inflammation in my joints and bad memory. I feel so much better and I actually have more energy and I’m never hungry because I eat fruit and Whole Foods!
