Why is sugar so hard to quit?

Here’s the thing: You want sweets for a reason. Your body has a biological predisposition to crave sugar—hey, it’s a great source of calories and energy. But excess sugar tricks the brain into wanting even more. Some common culprits that make quitting the sugar cycle hard:

  • Your hormones love sweets

  • Your brain is programmed to use glucose as fuel

  • Sweets can be an emotional crutch

  • Childhood patterns are hard to break

In Sugar Detox, you’ll find out how our experts address each of these issues so that you have strategies that’ll work in your life.

What you’ll find in your member-exclusive Sugar Detox guide

Our guide puts sugar in perspective, while helping you limit the kind that’s harmful to your health. The guidance you’ll find in Sugar Detox is informed by the latest research in the field, so you can feel confident reading about these topics:

  • The types of sugar to know about. There are naturally occurring sugars—found in fruits, vegetables, and milk—and these contain essential nutrients. But added sugars, like sucrose and even “natural” ones like agave, can cause a cascade of unhealthy changes in the body. Discover how to identify what’s what.

  • The health benefits of detoxing from sugar. Sleep better, feel more energetic, and break sugar’s emotional hold on you. Our painless tricks work to reduce sugar cravings, but they’re also great for your overall health!

  • How our exclusive three-week detox works. This step-by-step plan guides you through developing a healthier relationship with sugar (and not depriving yourself of it!), cleaning up your diet, and setting yourself up for lasting success.

  • A healthy, delicious meal plan. Over a dozen new recipes for breakfast, lunch, dinner, and dessert! Because once you’ve learned to appreciate sweets in their natural forms, you can indulge without going overboard.
