Welcome back!
Many people who suffer from sugar addiction (or any other form of addiction) have probably bemoaned the fact that if only they had more willpower, they could overcome their dependency on food.
Willpower is not the problem.
When it comes to sugar addiction, nobody has enough willpower to stop it once and for all. Roy Baumeister, a Florida State University psychologist, and New York Times science columnist John Tierney wrote a book called Willpower: Rediscovering the Greatest Strength in which they show that willpower is a form of mental energy that is fueled by glucose.
What this means is that your crumbling resolve is not a figment of your
imagination or evidence that you are lazy; it means that after you deplete your glucose reserve your ability to control your actions, emotions, and choices becomes weak. Hence succumbing to temptation and making poor decisions. To quote Tierney: “We call it the dieter’s catch-22: in order to not eat, you need willpower. But in order to have willpower, you need to eat.”
Follow along the whole video course and learn how to do a sugar detox the easy way and improve your overall health and mindset.
