      This revolutionary eating plan provides definitive proof that sugar is addictive and introduces a science-based program to eliminate sugar, curb cravings that derail most diets, and achieve permanent weight loss. Many have tried various diets without success; while they may work temporarily, dietary restrictions often become unsustainable. The addictive nature of sugar leads to cravings that sabotage efforts, regardless of whether one follows low-carb, paleo, or other diets. Dr. Nicole M. Avena, a neuroscientist and food addiction expert, reveals that sugar triggers brain responses similar to addictive drugs, requiring more intake for the same pleasurable feelings. Avena and John R. Talbott’s eight-step plan guides you through becoming sugar-free, particularly during the challenging withdrawal period in the initial weeks. An easy-to-use Sugar Equivalency Table details the sugar content in hundreds of common foods, helping you make informed choices. Surprisingly, you may eat more on this plan while still losing weight. This science-based approach aims to break the yo-yo dieting cycle, eliminate sugar cravings, and foster a preference for nutritious foods that promote lasting health and happiness.
