Beating Sugar Addiction For Dummies

A step-by-step guide to kicking the sugar habit by qualified nutritionist Michele Chevalley Hedge

With many Australians and New Zealanders drawing as much as a third of their total caloric intake from sugar and enriched flour, sugar addiction is a rapidly growing problem.

Global sugar consumption has tripled in  the last 50 years and the result has been increasing levels of obesity, diabetes, and other health problems. Even worse, the more sugar we eat, the more sugar our bodies want, leading to a dangerous cycle of sugar addiction.

In this new Australian and New Zealand edition of Beating Sugar Addiction For Dummies, Michele Chevalley Hedge, aka the ‘Modern Day Nutritionist’, presents a holistic, step-based program that gradually weans you off sugar  to let you live a healthier and fitter life.

In her friendly, easy-to-understand style, Michele reveals the hidden sources of the sugar we consume, the effect that eating too much of it has on us, and how to cut down on sugar without sacrificing the foods we love.

Unlike other sugar avoidance books and programs, Beating Sugar Addiction For Dummies is written by a qualified nutritionist, not a food coach or a researcher. Differentiating this book from others on the market, Michele advocates a diet low in sugar, rather than a strict no sugar regime.

“Beating sugar addiction requires more than just staying away from sweet treats. To truly transition into a new healthy lifestyle, you need to look at the motivation behind your behaviour, figure out what emotional holes you’ve been trying to fill with sugar, and understand how you’re going to create this new lifestyle so it becomes habitual - and sustainable. My hope is that this book will help you through the process to ultimately change your behaviour and mindset,” Michele Chevalley Hedge said.

Inside you'll also find over 50 healthy, simple meal plans and recipes that include little or no sugar (including desserts!)

Ideal for anyone, at any health level, Beating Sugar Addiction For Dummies will give you the guidance and inspiration you need to overcome sugar addiction and live a healthier life.
