NO SUGAR CHALLENGE!

NO SUGAR FOR 10 DAYS. 

Your Daily Sugar Fix

That's my challenge.Could you last 10 days
without your sugar fix? 

You may be already thinking
"There is NO way I could do that."


We're all drawn to sugar and it's so highly addictive, some people could not imagine life without it.

But if you really understood what this sugar addiction 
(like every other unhealthy addiction)
is doing to your health, you would at least try to get control of it.

Seriously. 

Switch out your soda pop for water

Even after reading this info, 
if you decide NOT to join us in this challenge,
may I at least make one small suggestion?  
Please consider at least eliminating soda pop -which also includes diet version- from your daily habit.

See if you are able to simply switch out that soda for something like water or lemon water.  Then let me know how your body feels after a couple of months. Deal?

But if you are ready to accept my challenge-- Good for you!
Heck, it's only for 10 days.  
And I know you can do anything for 10 days!
I encourage you to begin on a Monday.

WHY THIS NO-SUGAR CHALLENGE?

While teaching people about a healthier lifestyle and witnessing 
the rampant progression of preventable disease for the past 35 years,  
I've discovered just how very damaging sugar actually is to our health. 

Sugar is one of the first things I ask people to limit or eliminate from their diet 
when they choose the path to rebuild their health. 
Those who do succeed in eliminating their sugar addiction 
have a much better success rate in reversing their symptoms and enjoying improved health.   It's really incredible.

Even while researching to help my mom with her symptoms
of severe dementia/Alzheimer's, I found sugar to be a major contributor.  
(Alzheimer's disease is now referred to as Type 3 diabetes)

I became even more inspired to offer this challenge and this specific call to action after I watched FED UP, an extremely insightful documentary, 
which I believe is a must see for anyone aspiring to live a healthier life.

Because, just think, 10 years of gaining just 2 pounds per year 
adds 20 pounds of fat to your total body weight. 

YIKES!
I mean, have you ever carried 2-10 pound bags of potatoes at once? 

That's what all those poor joints in your body would be doing every single day. 
That fat would also be surrounding your organs and clogging your arteries.

WHY PICK ON SUGAR?

Sugar is not just about 'empty calories' and the fact that it doesn't add anything of value to your diet.

Sugar is the #1 contributor to the diagnosis of degenerative diseases
--these are diseases which can be prevented!

SUGAR CAUSES DISEASE!

Besides the obvious Obesity and Type 2 Diabetes, sugar:

• Severely Weakens the Immune System
  (Ever notice how many kids get sick right after Halloween?)
• Hinders Proper Digestion
  (80% of our Immune response is in the gut)
• Causes inflammation
  (Not cool for anyone with an Auto Immune Disease)
• Contributes to dementia, Alzheimer's
• Causes Heart Disease
• Leads to Fatty Liver Disease
• Leads to Metabolic Syndrome
• Increases Arthritis Stiffness
• Contributes to Alcoholism
• Contributes to Depression
• Increases Anxiety
• Contributes to Gout
• Contributes to ADD, ADHD and symptoms of Autism
• Feeds Cancer cells
• Feeds (bad) bacteria in the gut contributing to GERD, Acid Reflux, Colitis, Spaciness, Acne and a host of other symptoms
