Whether you use a formal sugar detox as described in this book, or you just gradually eliminate all sources of refined sugar and simple carbs from your diet, you will benefit greatly from the choice and the effort. Sugar is a drug that acts just like all of the world's other drugs. It creates a rush of pleasure chemicals in the brain and it allows us to become tolerant to it. This creates the need for ever more of the drug to get the same response. When you cut this drug from your diet, you experience classic signs of withdrawal that range from emotional outbursts and depression to physical symptoms like headache and digestive upset. Be prepared for this, and be ready to combat the worst of the challenges because you are only doing yourself a lot of good by cutting out sugar from your life. You will want to find others who are experiencing the same issues that you are, and who have decided to stand against the pervasive poisoning of the general public through the "pushing" of sugar. Fortunately, this is something that is becoming more and more common. For the first time in decades, the public is paying attention to the sugar issue. People are talking about controversies associated with sugar and the marketing of sugary foods. They are aware that sugar is being added to everything, and entirely for the profit of the corn and food suppliers. We wish you the best of luck in your journey to freedom from sugar addiction. You will have many interesting experiences along the way, but the one you will enjoy the most is waking for the first time knowing that your body is free of something that may have been clouding your mind, altering your perception, and impacting the quality of your life. Once you are free of sugar and simple carbs, you won't want to go back to eating them. Instead, you will taste flavors as you never have before and discover what it means to be truly healthy.
