Break Out Of The Sugar Prison, book by Shelly Young and Paul Harris

Sugar Addiction is a SERIOUS
Eating Disorder

Sugar addiction has been dubbed by UK researchers as possibly the greatest single health threat to the citizens of the United Kingdom. So prevalent is the problem that many nutritionists, physicians and health researchers within the UK are confidently predicting that sugar addiction will soon surpass cigarette smoking as the number one addictive pastime.

In the U.S.A., the average annual consumption of sugar per capita has swelled from 30 pounds in the mid 1930s to over 160 pounds in 2008 – this included sugar byproducts and processed grain products as well. Regardless of how you calculate, that is a lot of sugar!

Excessive sugar consumption is a global problem

The September 2008 edition of the U.S.D.A. publication, Amber Waves, reported that the excessive consumption of high calorie food items, such as processed sugar and starch products, is not a purely American phenomenon.  

Apparently, a steady increase worldwide in the per-capita consumption of high-calorie foods and beverages has been noted from year to year, across the board, throughout all socioeconomic strata, in industrialized and developing nations alike. 

Mindfulness and cutting-edge nutrition – a revolutionary new approach that can help you overcome sugar addiction, sugar bingeing or just plain old sugar cravings

Mindfulness is a proven, therapeutic technique that has been used successfully by many people, in getting a handle on and overcoming the emotional and psychological aspects of long-term eating issues such as sugar addiction.

The "Basic States" method of mindfulness used in our program was developed by Shinzen Young, a highly respected, senior mindfulness teacher.  

Co-author, Shelly Young, a psychotherapist and certified addictions counselor, teaches how to use the Basic States methods that can be helpful with eating issues. She has been leading seminars and workshops in the United States and Canada for over two decades.

The nutritional component of our system deals specifically with correcting impaired physiological function and nutritional deficiencies caused by chronic sugar addiction. Certified nutritionist and alternative medicine practitioner, Paul Harris gives a comprehensive, and easy to follow, overview of both the beneficial and negative effects of sugar in your body.

He then lays out a simple, day-by-day game plan that can help you get rid of your physical craving for sugar and begin the necessary process of rebuilding your body and regaining your health.
