We eat WAY more sugar than we used to!
A hundred years ago we consumed just 9 grams of sugar per day. Today it's 153 grams. That adds up to an incredible 180 pounds per person, per year.
And that doesn’t include refined carbohydrates that our bodies process exactly like sugar.
Sugar not only increases our hunger, it increases our cravings - yet never leaves us feeling full.
It is also the major cause of weight gain, heart disease, metabolic disorders, diabetes and even cavities and gingevitis.
Refined breads, pasta, processed foods and more all add to our global addiction to sugar. And it’s hiding in almost everything we eat - even protein bars and ‘health’ smoothies can have tons of added sugar.
The human body has evolved to eat when it's hungry — and to stop when we are full. But the goal of the food industry is the exact opposite. Their goal is to stimulate your appetite, so you eat more of their products — yet leave you hungry for more.
Most food products today do not produce a sense of fullness. This is good for profits, but bad for you. You just keep on eating, and don't feel full until you've eaten a ridiculous amount. Shortly after, you feel hungry again and the vicious cycle continues.
The deadly combination of sugar, fat and salt makes our food hyper-palatable and increases hunger. It may be causing the obesity epidemic and making us all sick and tired, but it's easy to see why food manufacturers put them in almost everything.
The most successful people at maintaining their weight loss don't have better willpower - they eliminate temptations in the first place.
Crowd out the bad with your favourite shakes and filling recipes to satisfy your cravings without ever feeling hungry or deprived.
When you don't feel hungry, your cravings are less and your body can start to rebalance your hormones and your gut health.
