Default How to Dump Sugar for Good

How to dump sugar...for good

Quote:

If you’re like most Westerners, you’ve got a horrid little monkey on your back. He keeps scratching and squealing in your ear. He makes you feel and look like crap.

That monkey is sugar.

If you are a “carbaholic”, “sugar fiend”, “sweet psycho”, etc. you are not a bad person. You are not a weak person. You do not lack “willpower”.

Sugar is a drug that is stronger than you. That is all.

Sugar fucks with your head and your heart. Sugar makes normal people crazy. Sugar does all manner of nastiness in your body that goes beyond mere body fat.

I don’t mess around when it comes to sugar. Some folks will say it’s no big deal.

But you reading this… you know of what I speak. You know this monkey. How fierce and feisty it is. How it whispers and cajoles and cackles and then grabs you by the face with its sticky fingers and pushes your maw right into the cookie jar.

Afterwards you feel dirty and ashamed, joints hurting, belly aching, head pounding. Helpless. Out of control. Bloated. Desperately thirsty. And worst of all, looking around for more.

Another binge, marked in red on the calendar of your life.

You, dear reader — you know what darkness sugar gouges forth from your soul. You want this little bugger gone. Forever.

Well let me ask you this:

Would you trade a month of feeling like shit for a lifetime of feeling awesome?

Of course you would.

From now until you die of something other than Type 2 diabetes or heart disease (such as, for instance, being shot by your lover’s wife at age 120, or skydiving), you can enjoy endless energy, youthful exuberance, and freedom from that little bastard monkey.

All it costs you is 4 weeks of shit. That’s a darn good deal.

If you’re ready to trade, I’m ready to deal.

Here’s how to dump sugar for good, in just one month...

And people over on the Ray Peat thread are trying to figure out how to *add* sugar into their diets. There are many different things involved in this whole diet thing!
