Synopsis

It's time to end your addiction to sugar.

Before each binge comes a hollow feeling, like an invisible hand that pushes you to seek sugar. It manifests when you're stressed, bored, anxious. Addiction makes you the tennis ball in a match between self-loathing and depression. Every binge leads to self-loathing, the self-loathing leads to depression which in turn leads to more binging. It's time to break that cycle.

As a former USA boxing coach and current certified CrossFit trainer with twenty years experience in the fitness industry and an equal amount of time spent battling sugar addiction, I'll share discoveries from my own experience. The Sugar Demons covers my entire journey from realizing I have an addiction, to the "Ah-ha!" moments that put me back in control of my life.

Listeners will learn: the key breakthrough that gave me the edge I needed in my battle with addiction; my step-by-step plan for breaking sugar addiction; how I reduce cravings until they are silent; why "discipline" and "willpower" are ineffective strategies; a list of supplements to "hack" your body out of its dependence on sugar; meal prep advice; and how to control your food environment so it doesn't control you.

A good personal perspective of sugar addiction I liked how the author told his story and the things he does to fight his Sugar Demons. I'll be giving a lot of the ideas a try. I'm not a fan of the gameification process, to me it's just adding a layer of complexity that doesn't need to be there but th......more

I read this book a year ago and loved Jonathan’s advice. However, I didn’t decide to do anything about it until the beginning of this month. I got diagnosed with a weird hormonal disorder and tried out his green light foods. I was 139lbs on august 1st, and today at the end of the month I’m at 123. Jo......more
