I just don’t like it anymore…
I don’t like what it does to me.
To my beautiful body.
It scrambles my brain.
It kills my motivation.
Aggravates my diabetes.
Puts unnecessary weight on me.
I watch all the emerging science reports (almost daily these days) and deep in my heart I know they’re right.
When I sit quietly and ask myself why I have gained all this weight in the past ____ (fill in the blank) years.
— I know it’s the sugar.
Any of the above sound like you?
It was certainly me and the tons of the folks I work with daily.
Most are smart.
Most are incredibly inciteful and intuitive in other parts of their lives.
But this one has them tripped up.
I get it.
I mean I really get it. I understand.
Most folks just want to use sugar “normally”.
Honest to God that is the number one major sentiment when we first meet a new client.
Now no one can describe or define “normally” but..
What I thought normally was when I quit sugar was defined this way:
“I just want to be able to eat (or drink) like other people”.
To be able to just have a few cookies or a piece of cake at a party and go home and not think about sugar for a few days.
They say to me: “I’ve tried” “I try so hard to just eat sugar in moderation or to quit for a day or a week or a month but I can never keep my promise to myself.”
That’s the killer.
For me, for you.
Keeping the promise(s) you make to yourself.
Let me quote esteemed sugar researcher, Dr. Robert Lustig here talking about trying to quit sugar. The quote might allow you to be kind to yourself and take yourself off the hook:
“Biochemistry drives behaviour. Your mind can’t fight your biochemistry 24 hours a day 365 days a year.”
So what’s the answer?
Detox, education, and support.
A lot of diets give lots of info and education and even detox info but almost none have any worthwhile ongoing support.
The problem isn’t a knowledge deficit, there isn’t an overweight or sick person on Earth who doesn’t know vegetables are better for you.
To quote another food addiction specialist talking about people who are susceptible to sugar:
“This issue takes an unusual amount of support to walk out of”
So what is this “support” anyway?
And how do I get me some? lol
I define support as “new relationships, new friendships really, developed with people who have the same needs and desires that you do”
And not just any people.
I mean people who have traveled or are traveling, the same path as you. People who have experience in the things you want to do, change or learn.
Supportive people.
Not usually family members or old friends.
God love family and old friends but the old reptilian brain is screaming for you when you try and “change”.
When you try to do anything that is different than the family or the social group did before they actually, subconsciously feel like you are leaving the group and they want to back.
Like when you try to quit sugar for time to see if that might change a few things for you. Your old social structure unconsciously tries to keep you planted with them.
It’s very real, do the research. Back 10,000 years ago if someone left the safety of the group it could be life or death. We still carry that instinct to hold our loved ones close. We just us newer methods.
If it all sounds complicated.
It’s not.
It’s actually quite simple.
It’s simple if you’re ready, simple if you’re motivated. If you’ve tried everything else already – right?
To be honest we work primarily with those types of folks.
People who have tried everything else.
Just listening to the sheer number of diets everyone in our group has been on when you’re in the right mood, is hilarious.
If you’re ready to try something different – to break free from your past of not keeping your promises to yourself then please join us. Quit Sugar Now.
We promise to refund 100% of your misery if this is not the solution for you.
Oh, and one more thing. Pioneers, yes pioneers. Remember yesterday when I was going over all the weird and eccentric traits our whacky group of super sweet, sugar-free marauders shared? Well, most are pioneers in lots of other places in their lives! Weird I know. But they all seem to be OK with being first in their families, first in their careers or businesses and first in their social systems at adopting new things. Don’t ask me why I just review the surveys. Is that you too?
