I’m a 3 tour Vietnam combat veteran with VA diagnosed chronic PTSD. I discovered via Dr Lustig that my diet, that was never discussed in VA counseling, was driving my PTSD. I changed cold turkey to nothing but real foods and eliminated all toxins and the result was, and still is, dramatic.

Sugar addiction is a Living Hell
-
Sugar is a drug!
-
thank you for confirming - takes 3+ weeks. I still fight wanting sugar every day (dream about it) but instead of a fast I exercise, eat right and get 15 min of sunshine daily.

What this man says is true. We are addicted to Sugar it's like a drug. My husband is the one that's a bad influence. He doesn't feel like he needs to give up anything because he's never been sick yet he's 56 now it will catch up to him

Start by cooking your own food. Also stop eating bread.
-
Eat pure, real food. No processed food. It takes 30 days. You'll feel great, and exercise tremendous control in the future because now you'll know how addictive sugar is. Maybe in the future you could have one treat a week. But if you have the same experience I did, you'll feel so amazing you won't want to go back to the enslavement to sugar and processed food. Try it.

You can do anything you want in life, you just need to give yourself a big enough reason.
-
Now that my husband has a job that keeps him absent from the home every two or three weeks at a time I have decided to give up sugar and gluten. I know it's killing me

"Hi, my name is *****", I relapsed on Mother's day. I ate nearly three quarter's of a baked muffin ( one of those store bought four packs). They were left out for us at work. I resisted, initially, then day two there was just that ONE muffin left in a four pack. Wish I had just said "no", sugar feels like an addiction. It is trying to take your life.

Accepting personal responsibility is imperative. In reality insulin resistance is personal responsibility resistance. We ever eat sugar in any form. We are both 76, glucose baselines of 96, BP base line is 108/72, eat zero foods that we don’t prepare, if it has a label we don’t buy or eat it. We also ride our bikes 2 - 30 minute events each day, and take no meds of any kind. This is not magic… you have to be responsible to each other.

I've been eating a high nutrition whole food diet for decades. I work w/ a guy who hates vegetables and eats a lot of processed foods. He destroyed his microbiome and had to have an Ileostomy, or he would be dead. Avoid sugar, seed oils and all processed food if you value your life.
-
Amazing interview Mr Bopst.
-
Its pretty simple: all we need to eat is meat fish eggs vegetables fruit cheese nuts yoghurt milk
-
Dr. Pepper is the devil. It won't stop drawing me back. I quit for almost a year and made the mistake of having a sip. Worst mistake. I regret it so much.
-
Very important talk!
-
Great info thank you so much

I go to SCAA- sugar and carb addicts anonymous, and I work the program of recovery to the best of my ability. Sugar is a drug and it’s evil! Epilepsy, mental health probs, diabetes, Parkinson’s-Alzheimer’s -dementia (type 3 diabetes), pcos (type 4 diabetes), cancer (type 5 diabetes), brain fog, fibromyalgia, etc all strongly linked to sugar and carbs. The food industry is criminal! I’m keto-carnivore, I’ve never been healthier or felt better, but it’s not easy giving it up, it’s more addictive than cocaine!
-
Thank you very much.

Very very well explained. And thank you for explaining the subject of fruit & fruit juice !
