Hello Reader,

Are you a sugar addict? As with most addictions, by the time people ask this question, the answer is usually yes. A simple way to tell? Stay off sugar for two to four weeks and see how you feel.

With 18% of the average American diet coming from added sugar, sugar addiction in the U.S. is becoming the rule rather than the exception. Many people actually eat their weight in sugar every year! And if you're tired, achy, brain fogged, anxious, and unable to lose weight, sugar addiction may be the reason why.
