Copyright 2014 The Health Coach Group 2 FACT: • 
Sugar is 8 x’s more addicAve than cocaine. • 
Sugar cause obesity, inflammaAon (disease), feeds cancer, demenAa, type 2 diabetes, depression, inferAlity, impotence, depression and brain funcAon. “The average American consumes about 152 pounds of sugar a year. That’s roughly 22 teaspoons every day for every person in America. And our kids consume about 34 teaspoons every day — that’s more than two 20-­‐ounce sodas — making nearly one in four teenagers pre-­‐diabe5c or diabe5c. Flour is even worse than sugar. We consume about 146 pounds of flour a year. Think about it. That’s about one pound of sugar and flour combined every day for every man, woman and child in America. And flour raises blood sugar even more than table sugar. Even whole-­‐wheat flour.” Dr. Mark Hyman Copyright 2014 The Health Coach Group 3 1.  Cut it out now…cold turkey…no more sugar. You can
do it. It doesn’t take long to break the addiction.
2.  Know the facts, what is sugar and where is it hidden.
Cut out flour and all hidden sugar …and all artificial
sweeteners.
3.  Be sure you are not drinking liquids with hidden sugar.
4.  Eat protein at every meal.
5.  Eat more carbs! That’s right! The green stuff.
Vegetables, just cut out potatoes and beets for a few
days.
6.  De-stress. Relax and practice self care.
7.  Eat healthy fats. Nuts, coconut oil, avocados and olive
oil. It will fill you up.
8.  Get a good night’s sleep.
Copyright 2014 The Health Coach Group 4 Refined sugar is made from the glucose and fructose (12 atoms of
carbon, 22 atoms of hydrogen, and 11 atoms of oxygen) .
The sweet taste comes from the fructose.
Most sugar comes from sugar cane or beets, though you can find
it in almost all plants.
Copyright 2014 The Health Coach Group 5 1 When you eat a simple sugar (short chain) it causes a rapid rise
in blood glucose. We know this increase as a “sugar high.”
2 Then your blood sugar drops suddenly (hypoglycemia) –
“crashes” or gives you what we lovingly refer to as “sugar blues”.
This mechanism causes the pancreas to produce insulin to
lower the blood sugar. It this occurs too often, the pancreas
begins to compensate and becomes resistant.
This repeated cycle over time can lead to insulin resistance
and eventually diabetes or diabesity.
