Thank you Maria from New York for this great question.  I first want to tell you that you are far from alone in this battle.  It’s a known fact that most people crave either sugar or salt. We also know that anything in excess is bad for you. The thing that most people do not know is sugar is a silent killer.

According to researchers, at University of California San Francisco, “sugar contributed to 35 million deaths globally each year.” What does that mean in context? Sugar should be considered a toxic substance just like alcohol and tobacco.

Since this topic is so important, and I got a lot to say about it, I have made it into a two-part Coaching Conversation series.

In today’s video, my intent was simple: to scare you.  I share some real life facts about how sugar is one of the leading contributors in obesity, diabetes, dementia, hypo and hyperglycemia, heart disease, and FEEDS TUMORS.

Scared yet? Well, you should be.

WORD of the WEEK (WOW): The most logical, safe, effective, necessary and inexpensive way to treat cancer is to cut off the supply of food to tumors and cancer cells–starving them of glucose.  @CoachAdamCobb #FYCmethod #WOW

Craving sugar is a real challenge people face today. It’s an addiction, and it’s so easy to fall off that wagon.

Next week, I will give you some solid tips on kicking that sugar habit and freeing yourself of those cravings. In the meantime, I challenge you to check the labels this week. DO NOT eat anything with more than 9 grams of added sugar. That’s a great start!

Be sure to watch this week’s Coaching Conversation above and see how much sugar really is added to what might be some of your favorite snacks.

Don’t forget to leave your comments in the blog below. What time of day do you start craving sugar, and how do you get through it? What are some healthier substitutions you have been making?

I’m looking forward to next week’s Coaching Conversation and getting you off that sugar addiction for good!

Cheers With Water,

Coach Adam Cobb
