Sugar is getting a lot of press these days. And the news isn’t so sweet…

And it’s not just because sugar is a major culprit of fat loss.

Nope…recent studies are finding that added sugars are wreaking even more havoc on our bodies than we may have realized before.

Many researchers are actually comparing our addiction to sugar to addiction to cocaine because sugar actually triggers the same part of our brain as cocaine does.

Yikes!

Here are a few resources for you that I highly suggest you take the time to watch.

Here is a video tip I filmed during our Spring 6-Week Total Transformation program about limiting added sugars in your diet – it was one of the six weekly habits that our participants focused on…and believe me, it made a huge difference in their results.

And here is an article in Forbes Magazine and a 60 Minutes feature talking about recent studies connecting our consumption of added sugar with diseases including Type 2 diabetes, heart disease and others…beyond just how it affects fat loss.

I hope you pay close attention to this information – because added sugars are hiding everywhere…even in what you think may be some of the “healthiest” foods.

Knowledge is power…and you have the power to influence your body and mind by empowering yourself to know what is truly good for you and what isn’t. Be your own advocate and an advocate for your family…know what you’re putting into your precious body!

Sweetly yours…(but not the added sugar sweet),
