Win the Sugar War - 100 Real-Life Stories of Conquering Cravings--and Pounds (Hardcover)

The popular series continues with this must-have for anyone who wants to kick the sugar habit and shed unwanted pounds

The average American consumes 21 teaspoons of added sugars a day. It's not surprising that sugar is a major contributing factor in the nation's growing obesity epidemic. As consumer awareness of sugar's health implications increases, so does the list of books on the subject. Most of these books advise readers to cut back on sweets, but they don't say how. Win the Sugar War uses entertaining, inspirational personal profiles as the foundation for practical, actionable strategies that empower readers to take charge of an out-of-control sweet tooth.

Like Win the Fat War and Win the Cholesterol War, this engaging new volume contains 120 real-life stories of people who have struggled against sugar and emerged victorious. Readers will meet Donna, who traded chocolate for water; Paula, who hides away sweets and is no longer tempted to find them; and Robert, who takes a hike when cravings strike. Each personal profile concludes with a Winning Action -- a tested, proven technique that can help anyone overcome their cravings, lift their spirits without sweets, and lose weight as a bonus. The book also features a self-test for readers to assess how much sugar they consume and why, a chart identifying the top 50 sugar sources, and a 10-step action plan for reducing sugar consumption.

Win the Sugar War easily complements other popular programs such as Sugar Busters and Potatoes not Prozac. With the trusted Prevention brand and a respected, authoritative author, Win the Sugar War is set to follow in the bestselling footsteps of Win the Fat War and others in the series.
