I got this idea from Angie Jones, who has a great web site: www.fitbusinesswoman.com , she was wondering just how much sugar was not being consumed as a result of the 30 Sugar Free Days Challenge.

Here are the Numbers:

Most people eat around 1/4 to 1/2 a pound of sugar every day. If you find that number to be high, check out this YouTube video I did to show how easy it is to eat that much sugar. And remember, this is just added sugar and doesn’t include the foods that act like sugar in your body.

So, to calculate how much sugar we are keeping off the streets, we will use the lower end of the calculation: 1/4 pound times 400 people = 100 pounds of sugar every day, or 3,100 pounds for the month of January. Three thousand pounds is the weight of a car, or a small elephant. That is a lot of sugar!

I have a dream of keeping a running tally of how much sugar we have all kept off the streets on my blog, sort of like the old McDonald’s sign that would proclaim how many hamburgers they sold.

The Adventure Continues

I have had so many requests for starting the 30 Sugar Free Days program later in the month or later in the year that I have created a personalized coaching system that you can sign up to anytime. Once signed up, you will receive a series of e-mails that will guide you through the whole 30 Sugar Free Days and will start whenever you want it to start.

The newest study in rats on sugar addiction paints a complete picture of sugar addiction, from binging, craving to alterations in brain chemistry seen in other addictions.
