So the question is, what would actually happen to your body if you really gave up sugar?

0:27.9

I mean, completely for two weeks. Let's take a look at that.

0:32.3

Number one, you are going to lose your appetite to sugar. Why? Because every time you consume sugar,

0:39.2

a hormone comes in there and pushes your blood sugars down, causing a low blood sugar situation,

0:46.1

hypoglycemia to some degree, and that is going to cause you to crave sugar. So by getting rid of sugar,

0:53.3

you get rid of the craving for sugar. Number two, you're going to be less hungry. Until you do this,

1:00.5

you won't really fully know, but I'm telling you, it's the sugar that keeps you hungry all the time.

1:06.8

When you give up the sugar, you become a lot less hungry. Why? Because you stabilize your blood

1:12.4

sugars. And now yourselves can be actually fed, because when you're living in sugar,

1:18.4

because sugar is toxic to the body, the body starts rejecting it. That's called insulin resistance.

1:25.1

So the body is blocking insulin because that control sugar and what your body is really trying to do

1:41.3

proper amounts of fuel, you will absorb nutrients a lot better too, because insulin resistance

1:46.8

also blocks nutrients, minerals, vitamins. And that's one of the functions of insulin.

1:53.5

All right. Number three, you're going to have less fatigue, especially after eating a meal.

1:59.1

When you're eating sugar on a regular basis, usually you're going to be tired after you eat,

2:03.9

and that is a blood sugar thing, that you're going to find that you're no longer going to be

2:07.0

that tired after you eat. It just means that now you're no longer having higher sugar,

2:11.8

which basically makes the brain tired. It's normal sugar, and now your brain can be awake.

2:18.6

All right. Number four, you're going to lose excessive water and fat. For the first week,

2:25.9

you're going to dump a lot of water in some fat, but after that it's going to be more and more fat.
