Sugarless by Nicole M. Avena

★★★★ ☐ The publisher has provided a copy for review.
Sugar. Love it? Hate it? we all know it's not good for us, especially as a direct jolt from soft drinks, snacks, and fast foods. In SE Asia, it seems like most food is "seasoned" not with salt but with sugar.

Avena explores the effects of the constant infusion of sugar, as well as how to curb cravings and sugar dependence in her 7-step method. Most importantly, she addresses how to get through the pressures of eating with friends and family, the withdrawals, and balancing mental health without lapsing back into a sweet addiction.

The author ends with ideas for setting up a healthy kitchen (including tools and shopping tips), good recipes, and ways to think ahead for remaining "sugarless" for life.

While I didn't find anything dazzling or new in this book, if you're on the hunt for a basic revision of your sugar-saturated intake, this book offers solid advice - what, how-to, and a mental shift that may just be what you're looking for.
