Sugar Detox FAQ

Is sugar addiction real?
Yes. Sugar, morphine and heroin all drive the same pathways in the brain. Not to mention that it severely disrupts the bacterial imbalance in your gut, making it the perfect climate for pathogenic bacteria like candida albicans.

Studies in rats have confirmed the addictive nature of refined, white sugar. Rats given sugar water started to prefer it over their chow and would ‘binge’. Once the sugar water was taken away, rats would experience the same type of withdrawal symptoms you would expect to see in drug addicts or alcoholics.

What if bread, processed foods, chips, wine/alcohol are more of an issue for me than sweet treats?
While those foods may not actually be ‘white sugar’ they either contain it or are metabolized just like it.

If you can easily say ‘no’ to cake, cookies, chocolate bars and the like, you might be under the assumption that you couldn’t possibly be addicted to sugar. BUT, if you can’t say ‘no’ to any or all of the foods above, then you ARE a sugar addict. You can find out more here.

Will I experience withdrawal?
This sugar detox challenge isn’t a cold-turkey approach based on deprivation. We’ve found that the most successful approach if one that focuses on upgrading the quality of the food you eat and focusing on how to REALLY nurture your body so that you don’t find yourself with the typical dieter’s mentality (when is this gonna be over?) but, instead adopt simple, lifestyle shifts. While you may experience some obsessive thoughts about the foods you are used to eating (especially based on habits, time of day and the amount of sleep you have had), our experience has been that if you prepare, follow the steps laid out in the program, and take good care of yourself you will breeze through and feel great.

Am I going to be on a super-restrictive diet?
This program is not focussed on what to take out of your diet, instead we focus on what to add and upgrade. That minimizes the ‘lack’ mentality that often sabotages people’s efforts to attain the kind of health they really want.

Is this program more effective than those detox kits?
While detox kits are often marketed as a quick fix, the truth is that temporary and radical shifts just don’t work in the long run. Most detox kits in the health food stores range anywhere from $35-$120 and you don’t get any support, aren’t able to ask questions and it’s not tailored for your lifestyle.

What kind of results can I expect?
Results will vary but generally people who adopt the program will find they have more (sustained) energy, brighter skin, greater mental clarity, and often some degree of weight/belly fat loss. The other benefits include: eliminating cravings and mood swings, confidence in your food choices, and the ability to decode what it is you REALLY want and need. HINT: it’s probably not a brownie :)

Isn’t 28 days a long time? Will there be a lot to fit in?
We chose 28 days so that you can reasonably and comfortably introduce each new step in this step-by-step process. There’s a reason for that saying, ‘Rome wasn’t built in a day’. You didn’t get to this point overnight - it probably took years to build these habits. Simply ask yourself, “Am I willing to contribute 28 days toward building a strong foundation for a healthy future?” If you said yes, you’re in the right place!

And just a note: this program was designed for intelligent, evolved women with busy lifestyles. Why? because we knew this program would attract like-minded women (our tribe!). We have kids, run a business, have worked the corporate grind, volunteer, care for friends and family. Yes, you’ll have to go out and get some groceries or set aside a bit of time to make meals but you would have to do that anyway, no? Other than listening to the recorded teleseminars (online, on your ipod or by dialing in) the program was designed to be totally manageable.

What if I have special dietary needs?
Whether you have allergies, you’re Paleo, on GAPS, vegetarian, dairy-free - this program is appropriate for everyone. There will be several options in the meal plan we provide for the 7-day cleanse/nutrient infusion.
