When I lived in Japan, for the first time in my life, I managed to kick the soda habit as well as a lot of other sugary snacks that are just ubiquitous here in the US, and I felt great! I also had more energy and looked awesome! Now that I'm back, I'm finding myself getting roped in by sugary foods, including common snacks I didn't even realize had sugar in them. As a result, my energy has begun to creep down, and while I've (mostly) maintained my weight, I'm not looking as good in my clothes as I used to. That's why I picked up this book, and boy am I glad I did!Did you know the average person eats 300 calories of extra sugar a day?! Katie Lenhart walks you through the basics about sugar, how it works in your body, differences between artificial and natural sweeteners (as well as refined vs. raw), and how we train ourselves to depend on overeating sugars, before going into how to sugar detox and maintain a healthy lifestyle after.  This doesn't mean cutting all of the sugar from your diet (like with some fad diets). Ms. Lenhart is clear about the fact that we need sugar to live, and further discusses the critical importance of where we get our sugar, emphasizing the importance of unrefined and natural sugars (ie: from fruits and vegetables...yes vegetables!) as the cornerstone of a healthy sugar eating plan.Thanks to Sugar Detox: Total Healthy Body Makeover, you don't have to go to the other side of the world in order to create a lifestyle where you enjoy sugars in a responsible, healthy way! Well worth the money and time to read! Highly recommended!
