hey guys it’s dr. Berg here I wanted to create a short video for those people

who cannot for the life of them give up sweets okay so we have to define what an

addiction is versus just a habit you know people that crave sweets a lot of

times don’t realize they are addicted they may just say I love sweets but

here’s an addiction addiction is something that if I were to tell you

can’t have it anymore you would say now I can’t live with that I have to have it

so it’s a it’s a thing where you cannot resist alright so are you addicted okay

you are alright good that’s the first thing to acknowledge you have an

addiction a habit is something that maybe you remember it and it’s

pleasurable but you don’t have to have it

okay so sweets are so addicting even more than drugs it’s huge it’s

everywhere everywhere you go grocery stores and it’s constantly on their mind

so especially if you go on a diet now you’re going to want it more because

that’s about depriving and telling you you can’t have it so that’s a bad

strategy so I have a better strategy for you you just need to instead of

depriving yourself we need to substitute something that gives you the exact same

pleasure as the sweets okay but without the sugar okay there are a lot of

different different sweeteners that you can use I create a little book actually

it’s a healthy substitute pleasure book that has in here amazing little recipes

candy bars chocolate bars English muffins there’s even a bread recipe

cookies healthy granola look at this peanut peanut butter cups more cookies

ice cream and this is made with healthy alternative sugars so there’s no sugar

no bad stuff no flour but it gives you the exact same sensation so this allows

you to actually do a program why wouldn’t you want to do a program that

would replace it exactly because there’s really no good in

at all there’s nothing good in sugar at all so when you do this you avoid the

blood sugar spikes and over time the receptors for sugar that have been

downgraded which I mean adapted to how much sugar that a person was eating now

they become upgraded which means that when you eat sugar now it’s like too

sweet like right now if I ate sugar I was like I can’t stand I don’t even like

the sensation of sugar I think what’s really wild is when you do this over a

period of time and realize that it’s not normal to have cravings it’s not normal

to have this incredible desire to like sweet

that’s not a normal healthy sensation that that you should like it’s going to

blow your mind I mean right now I have no interest in sugar at all and people

look at me like are you crazy you don’t like sugar but when I was eating sugar I

wanted it more and more and more I was in I was the worst I was trapped in a

thing where I had to go get Ben and Jerry’s ice cream every single night and

I would eat a pint and I did that over and over and over for several years yeah

I did that I was in that trap it is a trap so so it’s really simple you just

need to have replacements that are healthy and then you do that over a

period of time might be 2 weeks might be a month might be 2 months what will

happen is that your sugars will love you lose a lot of weight too but your

sensitivity to sugar will go up and all of a sudden things are way too sweet so

then even if you did eat sugar it will be satisfying just a little bit will be

and you’ll be fine so this is a good way to get out of the trap the sugar trap

and to do this comfortably so you’re not depriving yourself so I highly suggest

getting this book I created a link down there and start using these recipes

because out of all the things that you can eat I think sugar

honestly creates more problems for people than any other thing health-wise

all right I’ll see in the next video
