What will happen if you cut sugar out of your diet for thirty days? Let’s talk about it.
Metabolic flexibility is a term used to describe how smoothly and efficiently your cells can adapt to utilize and burn fuel like fat, ketones, or glucose.
When you’re metabolically inflexible, this transition is very dysfunctional. Your ability to burn fat in a fasting state will be very difficult. If you can’t lose weight when fasting or exercising, this could be why.
Metabolic inflexibility can lead to diabetes, obesity, loss of muscle protein, and chronic illnesses. It can also cause irritability, fatigue, anxiety, and hunger. When you try to fast, you won’t feel very good, and you’ll miss out on certain benefits if you’re not metabolically flexible.
Insulin resistance is at the heart of this problem. Insulin controls whether you burn fat or not. If someone is metabolically inflexible, they have insulin resistance. Insulin tells the body not to burn fat and to store fat instead.
On the flip side, metabolic flexibility is really insulin sensitivity, and there are ways to make the body more metabolically flexible or insulin sensitive.
When you become more metabolically flexible, you’ll be able to fast for longer without hunger or cravings, burn fat, and burn sugar more efficiently.
How to transition your body into a state of metabolic flexibility and insulin sensitivity:
1. Eat less frequently
2. Eat fewer carbohydrates
3. Eat sufficient amounts of fat, but not excessive amounts of fat
4. Try exercise snacking (do short bouts of exercise throughout the day)
If you do these things for thirty days, it could have a significant positive impact on improving your metabolic flexibility and your overall health.

Thanks for watching! Try these tips to lose weight and support your health. I’ll see you in the next video.
Another Amazing Vid! Lovely to know 👌🏼 definitely putting this into practice and drag my mom along!!! 🫶🏼🫡
Lucky mom!
Thank you Doc. I have been experiencing what seems like reactive hypoglycemia after big holiday meals, I’m a pretty healthy weight and exercising a little bit weekly. But I’ll try the snacking exercise thing. I need more fiber and less carbs too lol
Спасибо доктор Берг !)
Dr. Berg comes with it every time!
I learn something every time I watch you. I’m trying to develop a exercise program. I have had 5 spinal fusions ( all at the same time) . I have lost 115 pounds since my peel weight of 340 pounds. I am 6’3. I developed type two diabetes 4 years ago when I retired from my career and started driving truck over the road. I had a stroke two years ago. That left me with a fifty percent vision loss in each eye. I learn to walk again after a year and a half. I’ve been on once a week Trueicity and pills. I have not lost any weight in the last 10 months but I haven’t gained any either. My question is how can I get my metabolism going when I can walk anymore then 100 yards at a time? I guess I just have to take more pain meds and keep pushing? Any advice would be greatly appreciated!!!!!!!!! Thanks!
If you can, get a rehab physio to help you. It is very difficult when you can’t use your legs (wheelchair here) to burn calories. A handcycle is very helpful to get your heart rate up.
@@Kylie-oz3ks Thank you so much. That never crossed my mined❤️❤️❤️
Did you have the mrna injection?
This is why your videos on fasting *correctly* are so important!
My adrenals and me are very thankful for your hard work!
It’s interesting, back in college I’d do sprint interval training 2 days per week. Maybe 5-6 bouts total. Primarily did resistance training. When it got time to do a VO2max test in our exercise physiology, I dominated the class trials even against the soccer players and runners. For it to work, you do have to give maximum effort, this tolerance for effort takes time but it’ll pay off because you’ll start to feel amazing.
Thank you Doc Berg for taking time to help to all of us to improve our health
After 3 months recovering from a fractured foot, I bought a home treadmill and do 30 minute walking sessions 2 times a day. I struggle with sugar craving and insulin resistance but because of this “exercise snacking,” I’m already seeing a big difference! My sugar cravings have minimized significantly in only a short amount of time. Your informative video helped me realize the mechanics behind this thank you Dr. Berg!
I’m glad your on your way to recovery , after your foot surgery 🥂
The only way to eliminate sugar cravings is to quit sugar completly.

I’m on carnivore diet, almost 30 days now, lost over 8 kilos so far, took about 2 weeks to get rid of sugar cravings. Interesting thing is that i used to eat loads of cheese, however, after the sugar cravings passed, i really didn’t crave for cheese either. First i did OMAD, but now i’ve changed it to 1-2 meals a day, noticed that i started losing more weight after changing to 2MAD. After sugar cravings passed, my sleep got much better too, energy levels super high during the day, can easily fast for 1-2 days. Also 0% veggies. Using vitamin supplements. Also used to drink lot of coffee and energy drinks, now i don’t drink energy drinks at all and very little coffee, maybe 1-3 times a week. If i eat something besides eggs and meat i keep carbs intake less than 20g a day. I still drink milk and tea and also use all kinds of herbs and spices with food, but i make sure that none of those are “premade mixes” that contain sugar. I’m almost 45yo, weighted 93-ish kilos before starting carnivore. Weight today is 84-85-ish kilos. Happy New Year.
I had metabolic flexibility in my early 30s. I wouldn’t get ill when I fasted. I had very mild flu like symptoms for three days! By the fourth day, it was gone! I didn’t know that. Wow!
We called it Indian running back in the 70s. During track practice, the entire team would run single file. The person at the back would sprint to the front, then take over the pacing until the next leader sprinted up. Very effective for endurance.
I never let carbs into my home, except bread for my carbivore family. We went to visit relatives for Christmas where they have candy sitting around everywhere. The last night of our visit I blew it and ate two candy bars. I went back on keto/intermittent fasting immediately. I didn’t feel sick and I’m back at it today. Especially when you cheat, just start again as quickly as possible. It’s not as hard as you think.
Sounds a little extreme
Are those Carbs pounding on your front door… demanding to be let in?? 😅
Just kidding. Same here in our household… maybe a bit more lenient though. 👍🏾
I’m now 197 days into my sugar/carbs/gluten/seed oils detox. I am 68 pounds down and feeling amazing. Ketogenic/Carnivore is the way to true freedon. Happy New Year Dr Berg and all of you guys. Peace and love to all 🙂
Good for you, that is quite a weight loss.
Congratulations on your achievements! My goal is to eliminate all sugar from my diet as well. I didn’t realize how addicted to sugar I really was. I’m diabetic, have been for about 7 years. I have found myself skipping supper just so I could have a bowl of icecream. I’m also disabled which makes it hard for me to exercise. But I am determined to do this….. I really am. 😔
Thank you Dr.Berg for this very interesting video and systhematic approach. How much fat shall aprox. a 40yrs old woman eat daily, if her goal is not to lose weight, since she is skinny enought,and has low % of body fat, and she needs to gain more muscles. I understand,it depends on many factors, but an advice would be helpfull. Thank you very much.

Thank you Dr Berg!🐱👍
I’m doing great without sugar and carbs
I’m not hungry. Working on longer fasting. Your videos are sooo helpful special after the holidays. Clothes are falling off. Have to use a belt. Not so depressed. Working on my excersise.Thank you Dr. Berg
Thank you for this wonderful information, Dr Berg. When I was in a high refined carbs and sugar diet I could never fast, I had to have doughnuts or cake everyday. Now I’m enjoying healthy Keto meals in modest portions and desserts while doing IF, cravings are not as they used to be. Your continuous educational support is always appreciated 🙏🏻
I next to never eat donuts, but tbh, that pic of donuts around you made me want some Krispy Kreme. 😅 But seriously, thank you for all of the info you provide on health & nutrition. God bless you & your family in this New Year 2024! 🎉
This video couldn’t come at a better time. I am 41 and struggling with a couple of health issues, so I made a promise to myself beginning yesterday that I would eliminate ALL refined/processed sugars. Then Dr. Berg drops this video 😍. Thank you Dr. Berg! You have done more for me (and millions of others) than ANY other Dr. could ever dream of. Much love and respect to you kind Sir. Eric Berg: The People’s Doctor!!!
