Do You Really Think Sugar Is Your Problem?
 
If you believe that you have a sugar addiction, you’re not going to want to miss this episode! Join Marc David, M.A., as he debunks the myth that sugar is the reason why so many of us struggle to reach our health goals. Listen Now!
 
Highlights:
  • There's something that psychologists call ‘symbolic substitutes.’ A symbolic substitute is exactly what it sounds like: When a human being can't get the thing we actually want, we will turn to the next closest and most accessible thing. And sugar is one of the most common symbolic substitutes.
  • All creatures on planet earth are constantly looking to seek comfort and avoid pain. It is simply how we're all wired. Turning to sugar for comfort is a perfectly reasonable strategy. It works!
  • By focusing on what our heart and soul are actually desiring, our dependency on sugar can find a natural and easy ending.
  • The work of beating a sugar addiction is not eliminating sugar, but adding more life, more love, and more connection.
Exploring our food habits from a more fulfilled place, we find our cravings naturally unwind themselves, and we can find the kind of peace and freedom that we've been seeking in sugar.
