Breaking Up with Sugar

A proven plan for going sugar-free and regaining your health and life--from an eating disorder specialist and therapist who broke free from sugar. In her work as a therapist specializing in overeating and obesity, Molly Carmel helps patients recognize sugar as the culprit in their struggle. For many people, sugar creates physical, neurological, and hormonal changes that leave them powerless to overcome their compulsion to eat. But Molly's unique approach helps her clients break free of sugar's hold for good, finally lose weight and keep it off, and reinvent their lives. Based on the latest science, as well as her own journey through 20 years of disordered eating, Breaking Up with Sugar presents Molly's powerful, groundbreaking plan and her inspiring personal transformation. As Molly explains, most of us know what we "should" eat and do to be healthy; we may even know that sugar is toxic to our health. But what we don't know is how to address the emotional, spiritual, chemical, and physical components of food addiction in our everyday lives. Molly illustrates why the short-term detoxes and moderation that most diets preach don't get to the heart of the problem, and offers an empowering 66-day roadmap for kicking sugar to the curb and creating a new, happier relationship with food. With 8 self-affirming vows to return to and rely on, guidance for divorcing dieting forever, and meal-by-meal instructions designed to take the guesswork out of sugar-free eating, Breaking Up With Sugar offers an individualized and sustainable blueprint for finding true freedom.
