Hello friends!
Just a quickie note to all of you that we are three short days away from the close of registration for the Spring group Sugar Control Detox. We have a phenomenal group of participants lining up, and all that’s missing is YOU!
We’ve been getting lots of great questions about the detox, and so put this video together to answer those we’ve been asked most frequently. This will provide a little more clarity to those of you who may be on the fence…
If you have a question we didn’t answer, …

If you’ve been reading my blog for any length of time, you’ve probably picked up on the fact that I’m kinda down on sugar. Yes, it’s true. The “devil in white” isn’t doing us any favors mentally, emotionally, or physically.
And you also may know that I’m a big believer in everything in moderation. I practice the 80:20 rule: 80% of the time you want to be clean in your eating; enjoy yourself the other 20%. There is no such thing as “perfect” and heck, I enjoy a sweet treat just …

There’s a big ol’ myth out there that stubbornly refuses to die. It goes something like this: eating fat makes you fat.

If I told you that you could choose between a handful of carrot sticks and two non-fat chocolate chip cookies, that each has the same number of calories and would have the exact same impact on your waistline, which would you choose?
C’mon, be honest. We’d all pick the cookies.
And if we listened to a lot of the messages out there about weight, then that would be the logical choice. After all, isn’t it all about calories-in calories-out, regardless of where those calories came from?
The problem is, calories are just one …
