The Sugar Diet Experiment: Genius Hack or Dangerous Trend? | Mark Bell & Joe Binley

How about just eating a normal balanced diet. Calories under maintenance to lose and above to gain. It's not complicated

I’m having a hard time with this sugar fast!! By the 3rd day my appetite is ravenous for something fatty!!,, but I’ll keep trying ✊🏽✊🏽

Few days in and my sweet tooth is demolished. Actually very hard to maintain this. Craving a Burrito 🌯

Le mec à droite à un dentier je dis ca je dis rien

Joe, you said in your book that people with fatty liver shouldn’t do the sugar diet right now. What would you recommend then?

Hey, Tweaky, birds back on

Value ❤

we all need to reach that point where we don’t care if we’re 8% body fat or 13% and just eat a balanced diet without obsessing over how healthy or sick we are, just eat steak, eggs, fruits, vegetables, whatever feels good to you, and get on with your life and focus on something else, enough of this obsession with looking lean it just puts our minds in a box that only we perceive, it’s not healthy, it’s not natural, enjoy life, it’s normal to have fat, it’s good to have fat, I think the sugar diet, the carnivore diet, etc, is only for boring people who want to find fault with something, just enjoy life with a little fat on your body, enjoy ice cream on the weekend, and love your family and friends...

Coffee and Cream Fat Fasting is great. I'd drink like 2 Coffees with Heavy Cream and drop a couple pounds a day. There is also PSMF Protein Modified Sparing Fasts. What's that? Fasting and only eating protein. Most of the detractors of the "Sugar Diet" believe that people using it are eating nothing but candy.

It makes sense, and it doesn't. Probably intentionally and if, and when $$ can be made, it usually gets crazier. This latest "fad" seems way too new, and not enough, if any, studies on long term effects because it has not seemingly been around long enough. Are people losing weight? Looks like it, but then the fat fatties will lose with ANY real "diet" plan they actually stick to. I never take advice to seriously from anyone who is JUICED, on TRT, or testosterone medical supps. I just can't relate, and the physiological differences are there and can be extremely "useful" and likely the "diet" is not a true indication of what works or not. That does not mean they don't know what they are talking about, just that they are ENHANCED and that changes everything. I have competed for over 30 (almost 63 now) years as an ALL- NATURAL BODY BUILDER. Obviously, the average person does NOT aspire to do this, and most could not anyway, so a simple balanced approach is best for them, and everyone in my opinion. As body builders we know what could be coming mentally and physically toward the end of a contest run:) The same thing that would happen on ANY "diet" taken to the extremes, yet they both mention many of these negative effects during their "sugar fast / diets" that I have NEVER encountered like blurry vision, teeth issues, trouble walking or focusing, etc. (Not to mention all the vitamin and mineral deficiencies being created). I was going to try this, but I enjoy all the varieties of food groups, I don't mind what is down the road during a contest, even if I might feel deprived or tired, which I often do not. I simply stay leaner during the "off" season and then diet down slowly for a show. Folks getting to a weight or look you desire is the "hard" part, staying there is much easier. Just exercise when you can because everyone does not want to do what bodybuilders or even just "weightlifters" do, and that's fine. Just realize what we do allows us to eat MORE of the stuff we enjoy:):) In conclusion, I think we will see very bad health issues down the road from this "fad" because SUGAR is the main culprit of the Big C, especially the crap ones being advocated on this "diet". Well, like AH everyone has one, and this is mine:) I am keeping an open mid to this though.

What a crazy diet. This is just an example explaining why weight loss and body composition doesn't necessarily indicate health status. No way is it possible to incur the kind of glycative damage (something no sugar diet fadluencer seems to mention) this diet causes without inflicting long term harm. All this has done is show how the Randle Cycle works and why balanced diets are terrible.

@Joe have you looked into fruit till noon

Of course people like and WANT this diet... People love cake and now it's promoted. When diabetes, rotten teeth, insulin resistance, cancer, advanced aging and other diseases skyrocket with it, maybe people will wake up. Walk around in nature and notice how fruit trees and sugar are nowhere to be found... There's a reason for that. It's not natural

Bro, what do you weigh, as that seems to be your standard? You were 209 lbs nearly 6 months ago, so what do you weigh now? Hahahaha. Bet you weigh the same or MAYBE a few pounds less. SILLY! down 3 pounds in 6 months on sugar!? Clown

If i just switch my dessert and snacks with fruit and or candy vs cookies donuts etc i lose weight... thats my tool

Mark Bell's body-weight has been hovering around 210 lbs with water weight variances of around 3-4 lbs for nearly a year now. I know, I've been following him for a long time. What the actual phuh is this dude on? hahahaha. Dude isn't losing weight, and if he varies off that ~210 lbs, it's a water weight margin. Don't jack your endocrine and metabolic systems up listening to this sugar diet trash "advice."

This continues to blow my mind. I’m 4 days into sugar fast. Fruit. Fruit juice. My psoriasis has pretty much cleared up. Had it on my cheeks and head for years. Been on low carb clean basic diet for years. Nothing I’ve ever tried has helped. Even true carnivore beef and turkey.
And 5kg off. This goes against everything but is revolutionary. Thanks smelly for all your info on this 👍. This is a game changer

I gained 8 kilograms in 2 days from 112 to 120 kilograms on sugar diet.
3 days later , after going back to ketogenic diet I’m back down to 215. I gained a lot of water weight and my kidney were so inflamed that I couldn’t walk without lower back pain . I think most of it happened because I had bread and rice with my evening meal . Maybe whole fruit would have worked better with only meat in the evening meal . Anyway , that was my first experience with this diet . I was also wired up and I couldn’t sleep , which didn’t help

i think this is going insane right now, letting peole like eatin candy and sodas every day . beliving it good for you ,, that kind of food destroys the good thin you are eating, it should be like fruit , smoothes, self made fresh juices, and some starh if you want , to get all nutricons. now channels showing like eating candy and sprite ???? nutrion 0 .. this gonna backfire for alot of peole thinking you can live on candy and sodas. and ice cream, the goats on this does recomend just sugar ,,they eat alof of fruit and maybe add sugar if the must , but starting wiht sprite. candy . cheatmeals,and so on,,,too bad , alto of peole gonna feel bad in the end tricked to eating just sugar, zero nutrition

Don’t care for this dude he has as a guest!
This is a tool to get where you need to then you just maintain!!
Results are gonna vary for everyone depending on there current health state and lifestyle.
I’ve had amazing results with sugar loading protocol! Super great energy all day and amazing workouts lifting weights! Lifting heavier than ever and great pumps!!
Carnivore, keto fasting did nothing for me!! Felt weak low energy and just felt like something was missing and ton of brain fog!!
I’m finally losing fat around mid section!! Everyone needs to try things and just look and listen to your body!

This should not be named by sugar diet. And a lot of forms of this diet could be very dangerous. A lot of people lives on high carbs diet and the best form of that kind of diet is simply raw food diet. I know people who practice raw food diet with 70% of fruits about 25% of veggies and 3-5% of nuts and seeds more than 30 years and all of them are extreme healthy and looks great. This is nothing new. Well there is no need to be a smart asses, just learn from those people, they had a lot of experience and knowlidge😉

The majority of healthy people that live over 100 years are pretty much vegan or eat a diet as close to it as they can.

I actually have before and during bloodwork from my personal experience with sugar diet. Drastically reduced cholesterol and triglycerides numbers , glucose remained steady

"Let's eat all sugar!"
"Let's eat all fat!"
"Let's eat all meat!"
"Let's eat no meat!"

How about we eat a balanced healthy diet of lots of raw fruits and veggies, some lean meats and fish and nuts/seeds for healthy fat and eat at maintenance or a slight deficit? With occasional fasts for health?

What I’m hearing is basically… reverse carb cycling…

Haha that blond guy looks like her would be a good james bond villian

Wow I’m glad I’m not the only one who felt their cognition decline on this way of eating. And I’m not utilizing candy at all. I will cycle in more fat after a couple more months. I’m loving the physical energy though.

Loving the sugar ❤

What if you can't eat sugar?
I react to it immediately
Heart palpitations, sick to my stomach.

are oats and rice apart of the sugar diet?

The naked and afraid diet for the win ……trade candy for dried fruit.

Can you eat eggs on his diet? And when during day?

Ok how about eat some fat and protein at night? Mark isn’t saying just eat only bags of candy 🍭 dude

Mark, please send me a link to a study where experienced fruitarians suffer sanity. I really need it )))

It's one or the other, carbs or fat. The problem comes when combining them UNLESS you're tracking calories very accurately which is nearly impossible to do on the expenditure side. ALL of these methods are calorie restriction IF your goal is weight loss or maintenance.

Love how mark made a video saying “this is the healthiest diet I’ve ever done” only to realize he’s completely idiotic for thinking a diet devoid of fat and protein wouldn’t cause long term health problems. What a joke

Ray Peat vindicated. Sip on fresh orange juice most of the day then eat your protein and starch around the work outs with enough fat to support hormone production. That's where this will end up.

Before people get hyped on the sugar diet they need to understand and mark should be open about his supplements, trt , past ped exposure etc. before people think they can purely develop a body on pure sugar

Sugar diet! Be seed oil diet next with mark…. Drink 1tr of canola for breakfast and you’ll be lubed up for a great day

It's a juice fast idiots

Good interview, i appreciate how you actually let your guests speak as much as is on their hearts. Thank you for this piece.

Yeah, he's smarter. Fat fasts are much healthier as it doesn't fuck your dopamine receptors!!!!

I do not get blurry vision. But i certainly can eat so much sugar, that i won´t lose weight. For now at least.

Anyone else amazingly able to decrease their caffeine use after this? 4 days in with smelly protocol and I'm down 4 lbs, caffeine is down 75%, and my gut regularity is much better due to all the fruit. I'm very curious about the caffeine though its helped me tremendously as a chronic energy drink user.

I'm gunna try this for a week next week, to see if it help me break my sticking point 😃🫡

Just another Fad that's gonna come and go...fast......Sugar diet? Lmao...gtfoh.....atleast you're not pushing cow testicles

This was a great episode with Joe. Seems like he knows his stuff through a lot of personal experience and coaching.
Takeway is that this shouldn’t be a long term diet but just a strategic tool to use
