Sugar and Carbs

The Sweet Truth and Your Sweet Tooth

The Truth About Your Body
Your body is a highly intelligent and efficient bio-computer designed to be healthy, energized, and strong.

This is your birthright!

At every level, in every moment your body intelligence moves you towards balance and healing.

The Truth About Sugar’s Impact
Excess dietary sugar, in all its forms, significantly undermines your body’s capabilities.

Save Money, Time and Energy
If you are spending money, time and energy on your health and fitness, yet you regularly consume sweet foods and refined carbohydrates (crackers, chips, pretzels, breads, cookies, cakes, fruit juices, candy, sodas)- here is some great news for you:

You can short cut all your health and fitness goals, have more money, time and higher energy than ever, simply by kicking your sugar habit.

Let’s stop the self-sabotage!

Sugar, Sickness and Death
Inspiration and Love (having many exciting reasons to be healthy and alive) are much more powerful and fun motivators than fear and guilt, but I think it is important to share the whole picture about consuming sugar (and refined carbohydrate).

Sugar consumption (scientifically proven)…

* Feeds cancer and bacterial infections
* Is a main contributor to risk of heart disease
* Is the #1 factor in type-2 diabetes (95% all cases)
* Severely disrupts digestion (which leads to all sorts of other complications)
* Causes weight gain, obesity, high blood cholesterol and triglycerides
* and sooooooo much more!

Sugar consumption will worsen almost every symptom or pathology because it disrupts fundamental processes in the body.

Is this your diet?

Breakfast- orange juice, cold cereal or a bagel, skim milk, coffee with sugar (or maybe just coffee!)
Snack- peanut butter crackers and diet soda
Lunch- sandwich, chips, fruit, veggie sticks, and a cookie
Snack- some candy at work
Snack #2- chips and salsa while preparing dinner
Dinner- white pasta, meat sauce, bread, and wine
Dessert- more wine or ice cream

What’s wrong with this diet?
Well there is nothing “wrong” with the diet, but it contains unbalancing levels of carbohydrate and is severely lacking in nutrients. This type diet, typical for so many of us, typically leads to dysfunction in the body, low energy, disease, unnecessary suffering and premature death.

The Double Whammy!
Not only is sugar taxing to your system, but refined foods replace the nutrient dense foods that your system needs to function optimally (even without the extra taxation from sugar!).

The work of Dr. Weston Price, DDS showed conclusively that under-development of the skeletal system leading to crowded teeth and those very expensive visits to the orthodontists, is too be blamed on the displacement of our traditional whole foods by modern refined foods (high in sugar).

Powerless to Sugar?

Don’t beat yourself up!

Sugar is highly addictive, and most of us are addicts.

Like every other addiction, relying solely on your own wits and will power is a recipe for for staying stuck in the addiction.

An Approach That Works

If you really want all the benefits that come with freedom from addiction to sugar and refined foods….

….and those benefits are:

* Weight Balancing
* High Energy
* Boosted Immunity
* Relief from Chronic Symptoms
* Elevated Moods
* Improved Digestion
* Improved Sexual Function
* Longevity…

….than you want an approach that actually works, now and into your future.

You want an approach that addresses your addiction at the root cause for you as a unique individual.

Sugar is the Solution, Not the Problem
Just like your body, your heart and your mind are seeking balance too.

Ultimately all of your choices, conscious and unconscious, including the choice to overeat sweets, are motivated from a deep desire to lead a balanced and fulfilling life.

You are certainly not wrong for that!

Our dietary choices are not wrong, they are just short-sighted.

My Promise to You- Your Best Life Ever
