SUGARLESS
UNCOVER HIDDEN SUGARS, CURB YOUR CRAVINGS & CONQUER YOUR ADDICTION
A science-backed, step-by-step plan to break free from the cycle of addiction and outsmart a food industry that hides sugar in plain sight. Many people blame sugar cravings on a lack of willpower rather than acknowledge that the substance is highly addictive, even more so than cocaine, nicotine, and alcohol.
And the problem isn’t only dessert; sugar is everywhere; approximately 80 percent of products in supermarkets contain sugar. No wonder eliminating it feels impossible: the more added sugar a person eats, even unknowingly, the more likely they are to crave it.
In Sugarless, Dr. Nicole M. Avena, a pioneering neuroscientist on food addiction, spells out the substance’s detrimental effects on the brain and body. She empowers readers with an easy and sustainable 7-step program based on what’s proven about the science and psychology of food addiction. This is not a diet book. It’s a realistic guide that will help you curb cravings and cope with withdrawal.
“Too much sugar is not a good thing. In Sugarless, Dr. Nicole Avena clearly shows how it can lead to illness, obesity, and even compromise your mental health. If you read this book, you’ll make better choices and feel better too. And who isn’t up for that?”
