Sugarless : a 7-step plan to uncover hidden sugars, curb your cravings, and conquer your addiction / Nicole M. Avena, PhD ; foreword by Daniel Amen, MD.
"Many people blame sugar cravings on lack of willpower rather than accept that sugar is highly addictive-even more so than cocaine, nicotine, and alcohol. The problem isn't just dessert, but the fact that sugar is everywhere. Approximately 80% of products in supermarkets contain sugar, so it's unsurprising that many people struggle to eliminate it from their diets. In Sugarless, Dr. Nicole Avena-a pioneering neuroscientist on food addiction-spells out the substance's detrimental effects on the brain and body. She empowers readers with an easy 7-step program to help them find the hidden sugars in their foods, control their sweet tooth, and break the vicious diet cycle for good. Sugarless also includes 30 sugar-free recipes."-- Provided by publisher.
