I’ll never forget that one coaching call I had when my client spilled to me about her uncontrollable addiction…
“I often ran to my addiction, and was in the closet about it,” she told me. “I hid it from my friends and family and I really tried to stop…but I just couldn’t! Minutes after I’d begin, the rush of euphoria filled my body and all I wanted was more! Until the crash, that was. It always made me feel even more horrible about myself afterwards than I did to begin with.”
If you’re thinking that my client had a drug addiction, you’re not that far off…
This addiction is the #1 reason that 40% of kids and nearly 70% of Americans are overweight.
Have you ever felt like the lady in this picture? I know I have. Bingeing was my way of life for over 20 years! I couldn't control my cravings and I hated myself for it.
It wasn't just the sweets, but it was the carbs (which turn to sugar) that I was addicted to.
Our American diet is high in starches and they are everywhere we look. Pizza, french-fries, potato chips, pasta, bread, crackers, cereal, muffins, cake, donuts, pastires, pancakes…and my favorite – chocolate chip cookies.

Honestly, before I had beaten my addiction to sugar, I ate potatoes and bread almost every single day…not to mention all the chocolate and desserts I chowed down. I'd buy candy bars every time I went to the store and I stocked up on cookies, cakes, and ice cream. I was humiliated for being so fat...but I just couldn't help myself.
Sugar was my drug of choice and I WAS TOTALLY ADDICTED!
You might find it hard to believe that a candy bar or a bag of chips can cause a problem, much less an addiction.
Here's why... These and other processed foods send a rush of sugar to your brain's reward center to release feel-good neurotransmitters like serotonin, dopamine, and beta endorphins.
This endorphin surge gives you intense pleasure and blocks pain -- the same as if you just had an injection of heroin.
Yes my friend...Sugar is More Addictive than Cocaine!
This is why I kept getting bigger and every time I'd lose weight, I'd gain back even more weight than I lost in the first place!

So I went in search of solutions, looking high and low, until I finally discovered what actually works!.
