The All-Sugar Diet?
Everything you need to know about this new trending diet
What if eating mostly sugar could help you lose weight?
Although this sounds too good to be true…
This is exactly what a growing number of biohackers, bodybuilders, and health influencers are claiming about the “Honey Diet.”
This viral nutritional protocol flips everything you’ve heard about sugar, fat, and metabolism on its head.
Let’s unpack it.
What Is the Honey Diet?
At first glance, the Honey Diet reads more like a dessert menu than a wellness protocol:
High sugar intake — from honey, fruit, maple syrup, and even cane sugar
Very low fat, especially seed oils and even olive oil
Minimal or zero protein until dinner
But for many, the results are undeniable.
People on the diet report high energy, easier fat loss, and a sense of “running hot” metabolically.
The Science Behind It: FGF21
The key lies in a hormone called FGF21.
FGF21 is released in response to high energy intake (specifically from sugar) and low protein.
It’s your body’s ancient signal that food is plentiful, but protein is scarce.
In evolutionary terms, this triggered the metabolism to increase:
Burn more calories
Spare muscle mass
Promote movement (so you go find protein)
In other words, FGF21 is like flipping your metabolism to high.
Timing and Macronutrients
The Honey Diet is more than just “eat sugar.” It’s about how and when you eat.
Morning and afternoon: Pure sugar.
Honey or fruit are ideal—some avoid starchy fruits like bananas or dates, which can stall the effects.
The goal is to avoid protein and fat during this window, to ensure your body releases FGF21.
Evening: A large protein-rich dinner.
Often with collagen or bone broth to support gut and connective tissue health.
This protocol keeps insulin high throughout the day.
This would normally would be problematic—but the absence of protein prevents mTOR activation, while FGF21 does the heavy lifting—increasing calorie burn and reducing muscle breakdown.
It’s essentially a high-octane fasting hack, bypassing some of the downsides of traditional OMAD or keto diets.
The Drawbacks
Many people report:
Cravings and hunger throughout the day
Worsened gut health if fructose is poorly tolerated
Weight gain if insulin resistance is present
Tooth sensitivity or damage from high sugar intake
Difficulty getting enough protein in one sitting
The need for strict adherence — it only works if you follow the rules precisely
In short: this diet can either supercharge your metabolism — or completely backfire.
Why It Works for Some… and Not Others
This is where most discussions about diet fall short.
Because the real variable here is you.
Some people thrive on high-carb, low-protein days.
Others become bloated, fatigued, or gain weight.
Why?
Your genetics determine how you metabolize sugar, fat, and protein
Your liver function affects how well you produce FGF21
Your gut microbiome may or may not handle fructose efficiently
Your detox pathways influence how you tolerate dietary stress
Without knowing your individual biology, trying to follow a diet like the Honey Diet is like throwing darts in the dark.
Which brings me to this:
Want to Know What Actually Works for You?
If you’re tired of guessing… if you’re done bouncing from one trendy diet to another…
Then you need to understand your bioindividuality—how your DNA, gut health, and metabolic profile influence what foods help you thrive.
That’s why I’m hosting a free 2-day workshop starting May 27th, where we’ll dive deep into:
How your DNA affects your metabolism
Why certain diets work for others but not for you
Real-world case studies from athletes, biohackers, and everyday people who’ve transformed their health by understanding their biology
Whether you’re curious about the Honey Diet or just want to finally find a sustainable way to feel great…
This workshop will give you the answers you’ve been looking for.
Until next time,
