Hi
I'm Ludwig, one of the founders of F*** THE SUGAR by Ludwegs.
I used to be a real sugar addict.
My diet consisted mainly of all things sweet and many things I didn't yet know also contained sugar.
After a key experience, I realized that something had to change.
After several diets, weight-loss powders, and a lot of ups and downs, I reached the point where my weight simply stopped improving.
That was when I happened to get a copy of a book by Dr. Robert H. Lustig. After reading this book, it suddenly became clear to me why my well-being hadn't changed, and I radically switched to a sugar-free diet.
I can only describe the first 3 weeks as withdrawal, with all the consequences. Starting with headaches, mood swings, and a very bad mood.
Today I live completely sugar-free, eat more than before, and there are no consequences; I'm fitter and more satisfied all around.
But it was only through my intensive engagement with the topic of sugar that I realized the extent to which sugar now has our society in its grip. Excessive consumption, whether consciously or largely unconsciously, costs our healthcare system billions.
One in ten people has diabetes, and many don't even know they have it. 40% of dialysis patients have diabetes as an underlying condition.
All these experiences have been incorporated into F*** THE SUGAR by Ludwegs, with the aim of also giving others a way to break free from sugar.
With our sugar withdrawal program, we have now helped many people reduce or completely cut out sugar. Entire families have been sugar-free, and it makes me especially happy to see children suddenly realize that they can also live without chocolate and the like.
That was a brief insight from me into the creation of F*** THE SUGAR by Ludwegs.
Sugar-free greetings
Ludwig
