DID YOU KNOW: When you eat something loaded with sugar, your taste buds, your guy and your brain all take notice. This activation of your reward system is not unlike how bodies process addictive substances such as alcohol or nicotine.
Chief Dieter
Plan Z Diet
Remember that old anti-drug campaign that used to run on TV? It was the one with the fried egg in the pan. “This is Your Brain on Drugs” was the headline.
It was a helpful analogy. The frying of the egg, and the sizzling you’d hear, gave the idea of your brain being fried as a result of drug abuse a powerful reference point.
What I am going to give you today is some great nutritional information that we constantly share on the Plan Z Diet. I've found a short video that talks about how sugar affects your brain. Sugar doesn’t just affect your weight. It’s much more insidious than that. The addiction potential is just as powerful as that of drugs. The fact that sugar is legal doesn’t make it any less of a danger.
Arrests should be made. Processed food companies know exactly what sugar does to our brains, yet they gratuitously add it to our food in an effort to get us to buy more. They want us hooked.
To quote another anti-drug campaign that was spread across all media channels, “Just say NO.” – To sugar, that is. That's what we do on the Plan Z Diet. We just say no to sugar!
Cheers,
