Breaking Up With Sugar (versione in eBook)

Descrizione

A 66-day roadmap for going sugar-free, from an eating disorder specialist and therapist who broke free of her own sugar addiction. In her work as a therapist specializing in overeating and obesity, Molly Carmel helps patients see that the root of their struggle is their destructive relationship with sugar. For many people, sugar is a true addiction, and produces physical, neurological, and hormonal changes that leave them powerless to overcome their compulsion to eat. In her practice, Molly helps her clients break free of sugar's hold, finally lose weight and keep it off, and reinvent their lives. Her approach is based on the latest science, as well as her own journey. With humor, honesty, and deep empathy, she shares the story of her own 20-year struggle with disordered eating, reaching 325 pounds, while trying every diet program and even gastric bypass surgery without success. As Molly discovered, the only way to make lasting change is to see sugar for the culprit it is, and completely break up with it for good. As this book 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 rely on don't work for addicts or get to the heart of the problem. Her 66-day plan is packed with step-by-step, meal-by-meal instructions, designed to take the guesswork out of sugar-free eating and help people start a new, healthier relationship with food. With 8 "vows" to return to and rely on, and guidance for how to "divorce dieting" forever, Breaking Up with Sugar offers an individualized, sustainable, and realistic plan for eating and thriving for life.
