Fun fact: lack of sleep exacerbates sugar cravings big time. Your brain runs on glucose and when it doesn't have enough time to recharge it'll try to compensate via food. Anecdotally, the one month I managed to get 8 hours of interrupted sleep every night was the only month in my life I felt indifferent about sweets. I still could enjoy them but the weird insatiable hunger they always trigger was completely gone

Fruit tastes INCREDIBLE whenever I've done a sugar reset. And cake, ice cream, etc all end up tasting bland and flat, like their only flavor IS the sugar. And your day 31 you look so much less bloated.

In the last 2 years I’ve lost 140 pounds.  Lifting weights is so scary to me.  I just signed up for Stronger By the Day.  I’m nervous but excited!

As an herbalist, this was an interesting watch. According to traditional Chinese medicine, 3am wake up means your liver is struggling. Taking out sugar helped your liver catch up if you will.

Your lower body looks a lot different. BUT YOUR SKIN!  Looks so good!!!!

I’ve been considering doing something similar (only cuttin out candy, baked goods, iced coffee) and this was a sign!

I really like the focus on making changes practical instead of trying to be perfect. The part about changing your environment and finding better swaps is especially relatable small adjustments can make healthy habits much easier to stick with.

This is so cool! I cut out sugar but only processed sugar for 30 days and I will say I felt the same way. I allowed myself to have honey and there’s just something different between honey and processed sugar anytime I ate something that had actual sugar in it I was like woah this is so sweet.

Such perfect timing! I literally discussed "taming" my sweet tooth with a nutritionist. Not to eliminate entirely but like you, treats have become far too common place and to your point, pushes out more nutritive foods. I agree with another commenter, it's a sign!!

I'm a sober lifter in her 40s, and you have inspired me to try this month-without-sugar challenge. I also tend to give myself "a little treat" on a too regular basis, and I definitely notice that once I start I have a hard time stopping (and to me this feels exactly how my brain reponded to alcohol, which is why I had to stop entirely). Just this morning I did the "just one bite" of a donut thing until I ate probably more than one donut, and I didn't like that feeling of not being able to limit myself. I remembered seeing this video on my FYP and love your approach to fitness in general, which has made me a dedicated subscriber! Your mindset of noticing changes in your body without veering into an obsession with physique is refreshing.

Can’t wait for the mobility video!!!

Let me tell you about Halloween 2 years ago. Thinking that we were going to get more Trick or Treaters than in years past, I got 2 Costco chocolate candy packs. They're 5lbs each. We got a 5lbs bag of non-chocolate candy as well, but that really doesn't matter because I only care about the chocolate. After Halloween we had gone through maybe half a pound of the first chocolate pack. I started snacking. And snacking. AND snacking. It was going on for longer than I expected considering that I felt like I was just straight eating chocolate constantly. As the candy started to dwindle (probably around the start of December), I thought, "OK, well, I've basically eating almost 5lbs of chocolate, which isn't great, but when this is gone, I will cut myself off and be done with it." But, when it was officially out I went looking for the second bag. Except... I couldn't find it. I asked my husband if he knew where it was, at which point he told me, "Oh, I consolidated the bags a while back." 😳 So yeah, that's the story about how I ate about 9.5lbs of chocolate in a little over a month.

I was so strict for a year and literally my family was worried about me and said I was to skinny then I found my love for no bake cheesecake filling and I have gained 7 pounds in the past 3 months and I noticed so much more swelling and bloating in my body eating sugar junk from not eating barely any in a year .

The end upper body pump was golden!

The food conglomerates are most certainly sprinkling evil dust on our food. They are intentionally getting us addicted. Don’t let them off the hook. It doesn’t mean that it’s not our responsibility to take better care of ourselves.

Thanks so much for sharing

I find that every time I commit to cutting our sugar it is very helpful to me to really focus on eating protein and fat first. It helps me be satiated and I can say “no” to the sugar cravings easier.

THIS WAS SO GOOD. You have inspired me.

Gut bacteria is also a culprit in sugar cravings as well! Certain bacteria in the stomach can thrive off high sugar consumption, thus making your sweet craving go up.
