About this listen

Good Sugar Bad Sugar tackles the biggest dietary threat to the modern world: sugar.

Due to refined sugar in so many foods, we are seeing epidemics of obesity and type II diabetes on a global scale.

The warnings are stark - a 50 percent rise in the death toll from type II diabetes in the next 10 years - yet it's not as straightforward as telling people to cut down on the sugar. Sugar consumption is an addiction that begins at birth, and it requires a proven method to get you free.

Good Sugar Bad Sugar applies Allen Carr's Easyway method to this problem of sugar addiction, unravelling the brainwashing that makes us see sugary food as a pleasure or a crutch and replacing it with clearly explained logic.

Completely bemused about what this book has done to/for me. I’ve been on many different ‘diets’ over the years. They all required willpower and restriction. This all led to a feeling of missing out and eventually I put the weight back on plus some. Last year I started exercising more and decided no more dieting. I listened to this book at the beginning of February because I was interested in cutting added sugar. I listened to the whole book very quickly. In the last six-seven weeks I have not wanted puddings, chocolate, biscuits, starchy foods etc. These have not appealed to me in any way whatsoever. I have replaced all the bad sugar with more nutritious foods such as fruit, salad, nuts, protein etc. My overall diet is so much more healthy. I am naturally losing weight but not fixated on the scale. My skin is visibly better. If this feeling wears off I would listen to the book again. I am amazed, simples!!

This book has a major flaw - it is biased towards a frutarian diet, insisting that proper human food is fruit, nuts and seeds. The book treats meat as a secondary food. Whilst this view finds mainstream support in from many health authorities, I am sympathetic to the view that meat is primary human food and that fruit, veg, nuts and seeds are secondary. This makes sense when you consider the natural seasonality of fruit and veg and the fact that we can only enjoy find these foods in the shops due to modern transportation from overseas.

The addiction theory seems sound I will apply it and am confident it will stop me returning to the trough of sugar addiction. It was however difficult to listen to when I know that eating fruit will also give me sugar problems and I had to mentally substitute meat into Allan Carr’s narrative.

Good addiction theory but bad dietary advice

This book has changed my life. It is basically just the truth told very bluntly but it definitely has worked for me. I would totally recommend it

Fantastic and works

There is a lot of good advice in the book but it’s very repetitive, though that is the method of the process. The premise is that will power will fail you but the way to succeed is to tell yourself you don’t want to eat refined sugar and carbs. There is a lot of language that seems a bit out of step (addict, junkie etc) which could do with being edited as this is not a helpful way to describe any substance that people struggle with. A lot of comparisons to Heroin users and the idea of little monsters and big monsters. It is helpful but the method might not be to everyone’s taste.

Worth listening to

I thought it could be shorter as the messages repeat; worth persevering to the end

Definitely listen to understand addiction
