If discipline alone was the answer, why hasn't it worked?Like so many women, Netta Gorman told herself she'd "start fresh tomorrow", but the sugar cravings always came back. With the cravings came the digestive issues, the yo-yo weight, the mood swings, the energy crashes, and the inflammation.
Desperate to break the cycle, Netta reluctantly quit sugar, but willpower wasn't what made the difference. It was a completely different way of relating to food. That shift became the Freedom from Cravings Formula, the 5-step system Netta has used to guide other women toward food freedom — and this book walks you through it, step by step, without diets, guilt, or deprivation.

While I still think going sugar-free indefinitely (or “life after sugar” as the author calls it) is unrealistic for most people, I agree that the over consumption of sugar interferes with a person’s ability to make consistently healthier choices and has negative impacts on overall health. I’m interested in going sugar free for 2-4 weeks and seeing what impact that has on my taste buds, and what health benefits are noticed in that time. I think that going a period of time without sugar makes it easier to truly reflect on what causes cravings and develop alternatives to handling those cravings. However, I believe that completely eliminating a food, even sugar, can lead to unhealthy obsessions surrounding that food. Eliminating sugar for a period of time could be very beneficial to reducing overall sugar consumption in the future and in identifying and managing triggers that cause overeating. Ultimately leading to a healthier life.
I think Netta is spot-on --- all of my binge eating is due to "eating my emotions" and it always starts with 1 piece of candy and just 1 bag of chips and then spirals out of control. I think there are some people that can simple carbs and sugar in moderation and be fine. I am not that person. This is the first book that #1 accurately describes my experience and #2 talks about the emotional side of eating in a relatable way without judgment. Thank you, Netta!
