Cutting sugar is like finally looking up at the sky after staring down at the ground.

6:10 switch to "I need to lower my risk for diabetes." its truthful but also sounds serious enough that they respect it. They hear "need" and think your doctor told you but even if your doctor didn't tell you it's not lying. We all need to lower our risk for diabetes.

The grocery store being where the real decision happens is the most useful insight here. Willpower at home is the wrong place to be fighting this battle. By the time the ice cream is in the freezer the decision is basically already made. Changing what comes into the house removes the need for the fight entirely, which is a completely different strategy than trying to resist something that's already within reach.

All I can tell you is that I still need to watch Sailor Moon every day, after 30 years of it, lol

My hobby is baking🥲so step 3 and your last bonus tip are hard! I do try to make healthy recipes like banana bread without added sugars, but I also love to make sweet things, not just once a month.. I did make a lemon cake last week and brought most of it to my work for my colleagues, I felt really proud about it. It is a continuous road of finding out what works. For me cutting down sugar is really important for decreasing yeast infections which a lot of women also struggle with.

That smoothie near the end looks amazing. 😂😊

Web been cutting sugar out over time. Adding protein has helped a lot. Replacing sweets with better strength training has helped me. I know that probably doesn’t sound like a replacement but it’s worked.

I was very surprised to see you as a weight loss expert in this video, whereas I knew you as a typography designer.

Ice cream is one of the causes of obesity. Because it contains a large amount of sugar.

Your job involves sitting at a desk for long periods of time.

It's one of the reasons you gain weight.

I'm glad you were able to lose weight.

I wait so much your every video❤ They are super useful and inspiring!

For me cutting sugar became possible only being pregnant😂 Everything tastes so different that sweets do not feel tasty anymore. Hopefully this effect will stay after😅

I'd like to add something to your Q4 response.
It's important to relieve stress in some way instead of trying to power through the craving. Avoiding eating sugar in that moment is great, but replacing it with a different stress relief method is the key, because trying to push through the sugar craving for an extended period of time will only increase the stress and you'll be miserable until your next meal (speaking from experience).

Tip #4: Don’t watch videos with images of sugar treats if you’re already doing good! Haha

I was not craving anymore since last week, after watching this video with so many yummy cookies and desserts, I caught myself craving again few hours later!!

I want to try this but I also feel like I wanna eat intuitively and whatever I want and not focus on food much because the more I care and control everything the less sustainable and steady it becomes. it becomes overwhelming and makes things harder.
I now eat whatever I want,I still do eat sugar.The thing is I want the clear skin and more energy as well.I thought of cutting sugar for a week to see how it goes. Im still not sure.

Watch some videos done by Dr Jason Fung. He explains how your hormones are controlling how you lose or gain weight. Your dad will find his video of interest for sure.
