1. Changes in your face and midsection Your face would become slimmer, and you would lose weight in your midsection because your liver is releasing fat.
2. Improvements in your eyes, brain, arteries, and kidneys You’ll experience a lot of benefits and potential improvements in these four areas of the body when you cut out sugar.
3. Decreased urination at night You’ll get up less at night to urinate because water follows sugar. Consuming sugar triggers urination, especially at night.
4. More energy Your body is forced to run on fat fuel instead of sugar fuel. Your body has more calories from stored fat to use as fuel, giving you more energy.
5. Cravings between meals go away Your cravings and appetite will go away between meals because even though you’re not eating, your body is satisfied by your own fat.
6. Less stiffness, pain, and inflammation These issues can start to improve when you stop consuming sugar, and you may notice less of a need for certain medications.
7. Weight loss You’re going to lose water weight as well as actual fat. Many different health benefits also come with losing weight.
8. Better skin You may notice improvements in your skin because of a drop in inflammation.
9. Improves insulin resistance Insulin resistance is at the heart of many health conditions. But, when you give up sugar, you can start to improve insulin resistance.

Introduction: What would happen if you gave up sugar?

0:00 so what would actually happen if you

0:02 completely gave up sugar

0:04 for two weeks let’s Dive Right In the

0:07 first thing you would notice is the

0:09 shape of your face would change it would1 Your face and midsection will change

0:11 go from being more roundish or puffy to

0:13 a inner face like even with my face you

0:17 can see this before and after my face

0:18 actually was roundish and now it’s not

0:21 so you’ll see it in your face and you’ll

0:23 definitely see it in your midsection so

0:25 the reason why you lose fat in the

0:27 midsection is because your liver is

0:30 releasing fat when you cut out sugar the

0:32 body is now forced to live off fat fuel

0:35 because sugar in fat fuel are the only

0:38 two fuel sources in the body and given

0:40 the choice the body always will burn

0:42 sugar over fat when you cut that Sugar

0:45 out you’re left only with the fat fuel

0:48 portion your body to use up the fat

0:50 reserves starting with your liver all2 Improves eyes, brain, arteries, and kidneys

0:53 right the second thing that’s going to

0:54 happen there’s four main organs that are

0:57 going to be affected when you cut out

0:59 sugar more than other organs okay your

1:01 eyes are definitely going to prove

1:02 you’ll have less blurriness you’ll see

1:05 better you you see the eyes are very

1:07 sensitive to Sugar this is why diabetics

1:09 develop a condition called diabetic

1:12 retinopathy okay destruction of the

1:14 retina that’s the main nerve in the back

1:16 of the eye so your eyes will improve the

1:19 kidneys will improve the kidney is

1:21 another organ that gets hammered with

1:23 too much sugar this is why you might end

1:25 up with sugar in the urine or protein

1:27 urine because the sugar is creating a

1:29 lot of inflammation and kind of rusting

1:31 out that pipes like your blood vessels

1:33 that go right through the kidney it

1:35 could be filtered and this is what is

1:37 called a diabetic nephropathy Neff

1:40 meaning nephron which is the little

1:42 filtering things in your kidney so

1:44 basically you have better kidney

1:45 function and then we have your arteries

1:48 if there’s too much sugar they call that

1:50 diabetic artery disease or vascular

1:52 disease and so when you cut the sugar

1:54 out the inflammation in your arteries

1:56 all that rusting effect Violet excess

2:00 glucose will kind of start healing again

2:02 and because sugar not only converts the

2:04 fat but cholesterol too you’ll see your

2:07 cholesterol values improve dramatically

2:09 then we get to the nerves in the brain

2:12 when you decrease sugar out of your diet

2:14 your nerves start healing up if you have

2:17 a diabetic condition called peripheral

2:20 neuropathy where the ends of your nerves

2:22 in the bottom of your feet are being

2:24 destroyed that will start going away but

2:27 also since there’s a lot of nerves in

2:29 your brain your brain starts healing and

2:32 there’s two main things in the brain

2:33 that will improve first the cognitive

2:36 function so your memory is better your

2:39 focus is better and your concentration

2:41 is much better you’re going to find that

2:43 your mood is just completely changed

2:45 you’re going to be much happier

2:46 mind-blowing to me and I’m trying to

2:49 understand this like diabetes for

2:52 example right what is diabetes that is a

2:54 disease of too much sugar in your blood

2:58 right the obvious approach would be to

3:01 eat less sugar if you’re diabetic right

3:03 I mean if diabetes is too much sugar in

3:06 the blood

3:07 why not decrease the sugar in your blood

3:10 but maybe I’m missing something because

3:12 if you look this up medically you look

3:15 at what causes diabetes they’re going to

3:17 say two things lifestyle and genetics

3:20 okay and with lifestyle they say it

3:22 could be obesity it could be a lack of

3:25 exercise or and this is a good one

3:29 urbanization okay I guess moving to the

3:32 city will increase your risk when

3:33 becoming a diabetic but they’re not

3:35 mentioning too much dietary sugar it’s

3:38 just wild to me instead they say it’s

3:41 eating too much saturated fat

3:43 but that data has been completely

3:46 debunked and I will put a video a couple

3:48 things down below you can check out if

3:50 you still have even a hint of thought

3:51 that it’s a saturated fat it’s not it’s

3:53 the carbs and then when you dig a little

3:55 bit further regarding the poor diet they

3:58 actually tell you to maintain high

4:01 levels of grains in your diet now they

4:04 will say whole grains but even whole

4:06 grains are like 85 percent carbohydrates

4:09 maybe you can help me out I don’t know

4:10 if it’s just obvious to me or why other

4:13 people are not getting this but it’s

4:14 just so simple you cut the sugar out if

4:18 you have diabetes all right the next3 Decreases urination at night

4:19 thing you’re going to notice is you’re

4:20 going to get up a lot less during the

4:22 night to pee okay why is that because

4:24 water follows sugar okay so if you’re

4:28 eating sugar and it’s going to your

4:30 blood and it’s getting filtered through

4:31 the kidney you’re going to find them

4:33 that’s going to trigger more urination

4:35 especially at night and one simple

4:38 solution is just to start cutting out

4:40 the sugar and you will find you’re going

4:42 to get up a lot less during the night I

4:44 mean when I was in practice I’d had

4:45 people get up 10 times a night with Pete

4:48 and all we did was cut the sugar out and

4:52 they slept through the entire night now

4:54 it does take a few weeks but to salvage

4:57 your sleep is so important all right the4 More energy

5:00 next thing that’s going to improve is

5:02 your energy well like I said before

5:04 there’s two types of fuel you can run

5:06 your body on sugar and fat when you give

5:10 up the sugar your body is forced to burn

5:13 your fat well guess what your body has a

5:15 lot more calories from fat than sugar

5:18 I’m talking about stored sugar and

5:20 stored fat on average even a thin person

5:23 is carrying around about a hundred

5:27 thousand calories of fat compared to

5:30 like 1700 calories of stored sugar so if

5:35 we were to give you an analogy it would

5:36 be like having this huge car battery to

5:38 run on versus this little AAA battery if

5:42 you’re going to run your entire body on

5:43 this little AAA Battery you’re going to

5:45 be constantly hungry craving ups and

5:48 down with your energy but when you’re

5:50 burning fat you no longer are

5:52 susceptible to the ups and downs of this

5:55 sugar and especially the ups and downs

5:58 of this energy fatigue cycle I mean

6:02 think about this between the meals right

6:04 your body should live on fat an average

6:06 person with the standard American diet

6:08 cannot even tap into the fat because

6:10 there’s too much sugar in the

6:12 bloodstream so by dropping the sugar

6:13 converting your body over to Fat fuel

6:15 you are going to be running on fat

6:18 constantly between eating as well as

6:22 your fat when you eat and so that’s

6:25 going to give you a tremendous amount of

6:27 steady state energy through the whole

6:29 day and your brain is going to feel a

6:32 lot better and this relates to the next

6:34 Point Cravings the reason why your5 Cravings between meals go away

6:37 appetite goes away between meals is

6:39 because even though you’re not eating

6:41 anything okay your body is eating its

6:46 own fat between the meals so if it’s

6:49 eating between the meals it’s being

6:51 satisfied and you’re not going to be

6:54 hungry and the only way to achieve that

6:56 is by cutting down your sugar as well as

6:59 not eating so frequently like all those

7:02 snacks so how do you get rid of the

7:04 cravings for Sugar by not eating sugar

7:07 this process takes about three days and

7:11 it’s not that hard anyone can do this

7:12 you just have to bite the bullet and

7:14 jump right in but you want to reduce

7:16 your carbs less than 50 grams per day

7:18 and that includes the fruits it includes

7:21 honey and a lot of the other hidden

7:24 sugars as other carbs approach like the

7:28 bread pasta cereal crackers biscuits

7:30 waffles things like that I mean an

7:33 average person at least in the U.S

7:36 consumes on average about 13.5 teaspoons

7:41 of added sugar every single day that

7:45 comes out to 54 grams of sugar for those

7:48 of you in Europe now that’s added sugar

7:51 what about the sugar in the other carbs

7:55 like the bread pasta cereal crackers

7:57 biscuits waffles pancakes muffins

8:01 alcoholic beverages like wine and beer

8:04 and and sodas and the juices

8:08 Etc that comes out to about a half a

8:11 pound of actual sugar every single day

8:14 that’s 275 grams of sugar that’s

8:19 68.75 teaspoons of sugar

8:23 so this added sugar thing is just the

8:26 tip of the iceberg it’s all these other

8:28 carbs that turn into sugar that is

8:30 making a huge problem for your body so

8:33 this is why when you make this change

8:34 and you start switching the fat burning

8:38 you start feeling so good I mean just

8:40 the improvements in your mood and

8:43 cognitive improvements is just going to

8:45 be amazing you’re just going to feel

8:47 really good not to mention look a lot

8:50 better with your clothes fitting better

8:51 your face not so round and not craving

8:55 sugar that’s going to be huge now when6 Less stiffness, pain, and inflammation

8:57 you cut out sugar your inflammation pain

8:59 and stiffness is going to also improve

9:02 your arteries are going to be less stiff

9:04 which means your blood pressure is going

9:06 to come down tremendously so the need

9:09 for medication becomes a lot less and

9:11 since anti-inflammatory medications are

9:14 so popular nowadays you’ll be able to

9:16 hopefully come off that medication as

9:18 well because your inflammation is going

9:20 to come down and I’m talking about

9:21 inflammation in the inside of your

9:23 tissues inside the arteries inside your

9:26 eyes inside your kidneys inside the

9:30 nervous system like the stuff that you

9:32 can’t really see that will improve you

9:35 see the inflammation deep inside the

9:37 arteries are actually making the artery

9:39 walls thicker okay the thicker the walls

9:43 the less space you have for blood to

9:46 travel and the more susceptible you are

9:49 to getting things like clogged arteries

9:51 so what you’re doing when you’re giving

9:53 up sugar is you’re allowing more blood

9:55 flow to get to the tissues all right so7 You’ll lose weight

9:58 number seven and this is the obvious one

10:01 you’re going to lose more weight but not

10:02 actually just wait

10:03 actual fat which would be a really New

10:06 Concept for many people now you will

10:08 lose a lot of water weight initially

10:10 because like I said before wherever

10:13 there’s glucose I’m talking about stored

10:15 glucose it’s glycogen you’re going to

10:16 also store three times the amount of

10:19 water so stored sugar is basically a

10:22 fluid filled sponge and you’ll lose at

10:26 least 13 pounds in the first one to two

10:29 weeks just by cutting out the sugar and

10:33 that’s important but the bigger thing is

10:35 you actually get to tap into your actual

10:37 fat and start losing weight and think

10:40 about all the other benefits of just

10:42 losing weight and being able to do

10:44 something that’s effective if you try to

10:47 do a diet with too many carbs boy you’re

10:50 just going uphill not to mention trying

10:53 to lose weight with all the cravings and

10:55 the hunger it’s going to be torture and

10:57 impossible to do it any period of time I

11:01 mean I think for some people they may

11:02 not know this but carbs convert to fat

11:05 and cholesterol okay most of the fat in

11:08 your liver has came from carbohydrates

11:11 and I’m not talking about solid

11:13 carbohydrates I’m talking about the

11:15 grains the breads the pasta the starch

11:17 potatoes Etc all right the next benefit

11:20 is your skin

11:22 your acne is going to improve your

11:25 dermatitis like the red rashes on the

11:27 skin will improve because we’re

11:29 basically dropping inflammation

11:30 everywhere including on your skin in8 Better skin

11:34 fact that’s one of the things that

11:35 changes the shape of your face because

11:37 there’s less inflammation and puffiness

11:39 around your eyes on your cheeks and many

11:42 people are not connecting the dots that

11:44 that puffy face is excessive

11:48 carbohydrates and the last benefit and I9 Improves insulin resistance

11:50 really want to explain this okay and I

11:53 saved this for the last you are going to

11:55 improve

11:57 something at the heart of most health

12:00 problems that people have and that is

12:03 insulin resistance let me explain what

12:06 insulin resistance is first of all you

12:09 have to realize that insulin is a

12:10 hormone triggered by sugar okay and

12:12 carbs and so they both kind of go hand

12:14 in hand when you increase insulin it’s

12:17 because of the carbohydrates so when

12:19 your body develops a resistance to

12:20 anything it’s rejecting that thing okay

12:24 now you can also have glucose

12:26 intolerance which is a form of

12:29 resistance right so this is all about

12:32 receptors in your body okay when you’re

12:35 receiving certain things so when you

12:37 consume a lot of sugar over time your

12:38 body is resisting that and the sugar

12:41 does not connect anymore because the

12:42 body is putting up a barrier it’s

12:44 becoming very intolerant same thing with

12:46 insulin right if there’s too much

12:48 insulin that’s very very toxic and

12:50 dangerous in the body so your body

12:51 develops a resistance against it now to

12:55 solve this problem our body just

12:56 basically makes more instant to

12:58 penetrate this resistance this barrier

13:01 so we have a situation where we have a

13:03 lot of insulin being produced in the

13:05 body thus all the extra side effects

13:07 that I just mentioned because a lot of

13:09 those are not just glucose they’re high

13:12 insulin as well but also at the cell

13:15 level we have this deficiency of insulin

13:19 situation which also creates other

13:21 problems but eventually what happens is

13:24 the pancreas that’s pumping out all this

13:26 insulin gets so tired it can’t

13:28 compensate for this barrier or this

13:30 resistance so then it gets tired and it

13:33 stops producing as much insulin and this

13:36 is when you get pre-diabetes and

13:38 diabetes no longer compensating for the

13:40 situation and so we don’t have enough

13:42 insulin to push the blood sugar down so

13:45 when you have insulin resistance you

13:48 basically have a slow metabolism

13:50 situation you’re going to have this set

13:52 point in a certain way that you just

13:54 cannot get past let’s say it’s 160

13:57 pounds you can diet you can exercise

13:59 your body will not let you get below

14:01 that certain weight and this insulin is

14:06 needed for other things like the

14:09 absorption of potassium the absorption

14:12 of magnesium the absorption of vitamin

14:15 B1 the absorption of calcium and many

14:19 other nutrients like even vitamin D so

14:22 by cutting out sugar you improve insulin

14:25 resistance and you increase your

14:27 absorption of all these nutrients

14:29 including amino acids to build proteins

14:33 so if you had atrophy before that looks

14:36 like cellulite on the your legs or your

14:39 butt all of a sudden that starts

14:41 improving you get more muscle and you

14:44 get a better body shape getting rid of

14:46 this insulin resistance problem helps

14:49 fatty liver it helps decrease your risk

14:52 for heart disease a stroke and even

14:55 cancer

14:56 so before you add more time to think

14:58 about if you should do this I think you

15:00 should start immediately and I put up

15:03 this very helpful video to show you

15:05 exactly where to start check it out it’s

15:08 right here
