so what would actually happen to your body if you actually gave up sugar for two short weeks and I know a lot of people would tell you that the trend for eating sugar is a lot less than it was before and so how can that account for all of our health problems well you’re about to find out let’s first dive into the benefits of what would happen after just two weeks of not eating sugar the first thing you would notice is your face would be less round okay less puffy I used to have kind of a puffy roundish face now it’s not a full-blown moon face but it was definitely rounder and it wasn’t as thin as it is now so the shape of your face will change because you’re going to have less fat in your face number two you’re going to notice less puffy eyelids you can always identify how much sugar someone’s consuming by looking at how puffy their eyelids are in fact I had puffy eyelids for many years I didn’t know what it was but after I get rid of the sugar that puffiness went away number three your midsection your belly fat will reduce too much sugar converts to excess liver fat which then spills over into your gut the fat around the organs giving you belly fat so belly fat is a really good indication that you’re eating too many carbs number four your cravings for carbs will go down to zero you just will not want carbs anymore but even a little bit of sugar here and there will keep that craving persisting to the point where it’s going to be really hard to give it up this next one number five your hunger is going to go way down you’re not going to be hungry all all the time you’re going to feel satisfied which is going to be huge if you want to stick to any type of plan it’s torturous to Crave things and be hungry all the time when you’re trying to lose weight so sugar increases insulin and Insulin makes you hungry the next one is your mood is going to greatly improve if you were depressed before if you had anxiety before you’re probably going to be a lot calmer you’re going to feel more up I remember getting a success story from this gentleman who was very very depressed to the point of suicide in fact he wanted to kill himself so he locked himself in his room and he stopped eating uh everything so he was doing a fast and of course when you’re fasting you’re not eating any sugar and your body is in the ketosis and so by the third day he felt wonderful his depression went away and so intermitted fasting or fasting and lowering your carbs uh create a similar effect number seven your attention will be much much better I remember when I was on a high carb diet boy did I have brain fog I had no idea that it was coming from all the sugar I didn’t make the connection until one day I decided to give up the sugar and it was like someone took this brain fog helmet off my head and I finally actually can think number eight your fluid retention will go away I used to have it I can press my finger into my ankles and it would leave a dent that’s pitting edema I had that I had no idea that was all the sugar that I was consuming sugar retains fluid and this Rel relates to the next Point as well your eyes are going to improve your kidneys will improve your arteries will improve and your nerves will get better because those are the four tissues that higher amounts of sugar will affect and when it comes down to the eye you can gain more fluid into the eye increasing your risk for glucoma when you have high amounts of sugar in your blood because think about this if you have this concentrated sugar in your blood well it pushes off into other fluids like in your eye as as well as in your lens of the eye which can lead to cataracts number nine your pain and your inflammation will go down considerably boy it’s not until you reduce your sugars that you’ll realize how much of that was contributing to either arthritis or inflammation or pain in your body until you eventually give it up and you’re going to be amazed how much less inflammation you have in your body number 10 you’re bloating your abdominal pain will go down but I had years of bloating and gallbladder problems and abdominal pain from eating so much sugar number 11 your sleep will be much better I remember one time uh when I had really bad sleeping problems when I was consuming a lot of carbs what did I do to solve it ate more carbs in fact I would consume I’m not kidding a pint of Ben and& Jerry’s ice cream before bed just to have like a just sugar coma so I can literally go to sleep little did I know that made things worse I started having uh restless leg syndrome wake up in the middle of the night I’d have to go run to get this energy out because I had all this energy that was lactic acid coming from the buildup of all the sugar that was not being burned properly in my mitochondria the energy factories of my cell number 12 you’re going to feel really calm your adrenal stress that you might have will be much better and if you have kids you’re going to notice that their demeanor is going to be better they’re going to be able to sit for longer periods of time I mean think about how many kids are are just wired on sugar they’re so restless and one of the reasons is because all this sugar depletes you of B1 which will give you the symptom of nervous tension if you want to see a really dramatic effect if someone has nervous tension or just built up of stress just give them some B1 and watch within 3 minutes they’re just going to feel nice and calm number 13 you’re going to notice your skin is going to be much much better not just improving acne but also dry skin excessive oily skin the overall color and tone of your skin is going to be much healthier so those are some of the benefits but check this out I don’t know if you’ve ever heard this before there is something in the majority of the population’s diet that is creating a sugar like effect it’s something that’s not sugar but it acts like sugar but it not just acts like sugar it acts worse than sugar and we’re talking about refined starches in certain food products if you want to call it that they’re basically classified under ultr processed foods AKA junk Foods let’s take a look at used to be my favorite right so if we look at the ingredients this has dried potatoes vegetable oil okay could be cotton seed corn or soy or sunflower and then it has corn flour okay corn starch rice flour Malto dextrin so all of those are refined starches so in other words maltodextrin modified corn starch modified food starch dextrin basically are not sugars but they have a huge effect on your blood sugars multidex has an effect on the glycemic index between 110 and 136 I mean glucose is 100 table sugar is 65 so you can see it’s like way worse than sugar but it’s not really a sugar if we take a look at the total carbohydrates it’s 16 16 gram the total sugars zero zero sugars so you might be saying wow that’s great it’s no sugar it’s just carbohydrate but this is going to turn into the sugar so fast and raise your blood sugars so this 16 grams really is four tpoon of sugar and that uh is just 1 F of this okay so it’s it’s like a it’s probably a stack of those chips about this big right here has four teaspoons of sugar you can imagine if you consume the whole thing which I used to do without any hesitation that you’re dumping a lot of sugar into your body but it’s not listed as sugar so when I talk about getting rid of these sugars for two weeks I’m talking about also the starches but I want to show you one last thing okay it’s with this s right here used to be one of my favorites right Fruity Pebbles okay and I want to show you how much sugar that’s in here first starting with the actual sugar itself okay the sugar that’s labeled there one cup of Fruity Pebbles okay that’s about 4. 5 but if we had the starches that turn into sugar because they’re really sugars in reality because they
