Assuming you do not have health issues, the experts say “Just Do It!”
Since sugar is as addictive as cocaine [1] planning to “cut back” is probably not going to cut it.
The good news? Only about 10% of the population is actually addicted to sugar [2]. And it only takes 2-3 days to detox your body. So while it won’t be a piece of cake, gritting your teeth and bearing it is likely the only way you will succeed in this sugar fast.
Whatever you want to eliminate:
- Decide now;
- Put a plan in place;
- Lean on this group to get it done!
