In this video, we’re going to talk about what happens to your body if you stop eating sugar for 14 days. What you’re doing is converting from sugar burning to fat burning. This can take about three days, and you may feel a few symptoms in the process. Taking B vitamins and potassium can help with these symptoms.
What would happen if you stopped eating sugar:
1. Lose appetite for sugar –
Every time you consume sugar, a hormone comes in there and pushes the sugars down, causing a low blood sugar situation that causes you to crave sugar.
2. Less hungry –
It’s the sugar that keeps you hungry all the time. Giving up sugar can help stabilize blood sugars.
3. Less fatigue –
Especially after eating a meal.
4. Lose excess water and fat –
For the first week, you’re going to dump a lot of excess water and more fat.
5. Enhanced mood and improved cognitive function —
More focus and concentration.
6. Skin looks better —
Glowing skin with less acne.
7. Less stiffness –
Less inflammation and less pain.
More benefits of quitting sugar:
• Build new enzymes to run the body on fat fuel
• Less inflammation in the arteries
• Growing brain cells
• Clean out a fatty liver
• Better kidney function

My wife and I gave up sugar in 2004. I am now 51 lbs lighter and much healthier. Still highly active and working full time at age 76.
Wow. That’s amazing and thanks for sharing
sugar ..like table sugar? that you gave up..what about sugar from fruits like watermelons or melons ? do you still eat those ? it’s natural sugar. I’m going to give up sugar too
cyril john I try to get rid of sugar or atleast eat less of it now days..I feel like I have more energy and feel better ..less heavy, not weight wise.
Jim Bos congratulations! but how do you give up sugar its hidden in everything ? Help me please thank you, Did you do keto? Because I’m unable to do a keto diet
Jim Bos how?
Thanks for this. I lost 20 pounds when i reduced my rice intake to one cup a day from four cups.
Thank you thank you thank you Dr B. Its all true, I have cleaned my entire body so much and reversed so many health issues by following your training. I slipped a little bit recently at 6 months, I just needed to treat myself to my old bad guilty pleasure ” the beautiful Coke 🥤Float”. Now I’m back on track w healthy Keto and I.F.
Nothing spiked my sugar like rice when I had gestational diabetes
You still need some carbs for some energy but I am happy for your weightloss. I eat 1/2 of a cup when I do weightraining
@Miss Mimi♡ You don’t. Or in other words you don’t need high glycemic carbs like rice.
@Miss Mimi♡ this is one of the single biggest misinformations in the nutrition industry today. you do not need any carbs but its also very restrictive if you avoid them all since theres trace amount of carbs in lots of healthy food, just keep the carbs low and fat high, moderate protein, lots of veggies
Dear Doctor Mr. Berg, you are truly beyond amazing. Thank you for freely sharing your lives work with us.😊
I actually decided to do keto because of this video. I was ready for change. I been doing keto w intermittent fasting for over 2 weeks. I’m having those leg cramps at night but I’m trying vitamin e . I’m feeling fantastic and can think so much better actually. ❤🎉😊 watching all you videos! 🎉
Take magnesium and your “leg cramps ” will be gone 🥰
Finished doing 3 sets of not eating sugar with going failure in the 3rd set final 3 reps. Dr berg is absolutely spot on. I am fasting ( ramadhan) and managed to avoid sugar drink and i feel lighter in breathing, better 💤.
You need sugar, but from fruits. It is necessary for muscle and organs function.God creats fruits with reason. But refined sugar and artical sweat is harmfull.
I am a recovering alcoholic and drug addict. I have been in recovery for 4 years. I also have given up smoking cigarettes. Candy was the only vice that I have left.
However, listening to this advice makes me want to consider giving up my candy habit.
Ex Alcoholic man here,Good luck in your new journey mate 👍
Congrats bro
Do you have any tips to fight off drug and alcohol cravings?
@EAchank stay away from your wife – girlfriend-friends if they are addicted to those.
@Rikki 1996 no it’s an internal battle now no outside influences
@EAchank one of my ex-girlfriends, was an alcoholic. The other one was a party girl so I had to drink with them
Before Covid, I quit eating sugar for 3 months and I definitely felt better. I stopped eating rice, any chips, cola, any kinds of bread and mostly ate greens, any kinds of meat, some peanuts and healthy snacks for dessert. I also drank tons of water. Only water or ginger tea without sugar. My eczema was gone, i could breathe better, lost at least 10kg of my weight, and my skin got better.
i have a bad habit of eating donuts, cookies, and chocolate. what would you recommend as alternatives for those types of cravings? im starting my healthy journey
U can drnk diet coke / coke zero though right??
@Suzanne Ramundo. Did you catch Covid?
Whole grain rice is good for you unless allergic which I bet is rare
This video has reached so many people; its almost certain that you’ve saved some lives and helped thousands of people live longer lives. Thank you so much Dr. Berg you are one of the reasons that YouTube is amazing
For some reason, this exact video changed my mindset. I’ve been sugar free for 2 weeks and have already lost 10 pounds. I feel amazing! The first couple of days were tough but now, it’s easy. I’m also able to skip breakfast and I eat around noon now. I would’ve never thought I could do that. Ever. But look at me now! Full of energy, my waist and stomach are getting smaller, my mood is great, and my arthritis doesn’t hurt anymore. 😃. Thank you, Dr. Berg.
Pardon me for writing in your comment section. I saw your comment and i’m really impressed by your personality. I’d like to know you better
What does he mean by sugar free?
Does that mean no more rice or pasta? (Carbs)
Does that mean no more fruit??
Because I can get rid of industrial cookies, and candy’s, and sugar adding, but I will not be able to cut off carbs and fruits
@MrNoki972 for me, I stopped eating all things like cookies, ice cream, fruit like bananas and apples, and some items that had sugar added to it. I also did not eat anything processed. Also, I avoided carbs that come in things like noodles, potatoes, toast,. But I did eat vegetables and they do have natural carbs in them so I did not worry about that. The only fruit I allowed myself to have was a handful of fresh blueberries. I think he just means that the body needs to get used to not relying on processed sugar for energy. That’s why for the first few weeks, it’s good to not have any sugar if you can avoid it. It really works. 😀
Eat a fruit
@Kathy Beal kathy
I’m on 13th day of doing keto. Everything mentioned in this video is correct. I started doing keto after I watched Eric Bergs pizza recipe video and that’s how everything started. I intend to do this for 2 months and maybe slightly chance diet after, but mostly I choose to go on with this program. I’ve found this to be the best way to lose weight and feeling refreshed
Dr. Berg. I have ulcers on my left leg. It is spreading. Now on right leg. I listened to you. Vegetables and a little protein. No sugar because your body makes it. The info on absorption of nutrients a plus. You’re saving lives with this truthful informative and understandable information. You have a caring sense of humor too. Thank you For. Berg. I am so glad for your generosity to save lives, even mine.
Dr. Berg explains the HOW and WHY of the body. This helps us to help understand what we are doing and motivates us to help ourselves. Thank you Dr. Berg.
Most welcome! Be well!
You are very easy to listen to. I am up and down with my sugar “diets.” There is no denying that it really changes things. Everything that you have mentioned is true. I am currently 5 days with significantly cutting down sugar intake, and I feel great. Thankyou for sharing this. I will share with others.
Today is my 9th day without sugar! I feel great then ever. And I am experiencing almost all of the effects which dr Berg explained in this video. It’s mind blowing 😮 I am so happy and grateful that I finally manage to try this out. ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Amazing. Glad you feel great. Thanks for sharing your experience.
Really ? I feel like it wouldn’t change anything what’s the difference?
Today is almost 2 months since I quit the sugar!!! I feel amazing and have so many positive results and effects in my body!!! I am done with sugar in this life I swear, I don’t need that thing ever again. (Not even honey. 😀)
P.S. I eat fruits
Fully concur with Doc’s advice, I cut out sugar 5 months ago and I feel so much better, lost 5 kilos & just functioning at a higher level, ore energy & gone are the days of sugar spikes & drops – don’t miss sugar at all!
