Living Your Sweetest Life Without Sugar With Sherry Strong, Former Sugar Addict

Meet Sherry Strong, former sugar addict. She has a lot to say about the sugar consumption epidemic in this country and the problem it causes.

According to various reports, Americans consume between 150 and 170 lbs of sugar per year. This is like a half a pound a day per person!

Sherry can help you kick a habit that is just as powerful as cocaine. Let me tell you about her: Sherry Strong is an award-winning Speaker, Chef, Nutritionist, Food Philosopher. She was the Victorian Chair of Nutrition Australia, Melbourne President of Slow Food and the Co-Founder of the World Wellness Summit.

She has worked with elite athletes, billionaires, celebrities, CEO’s and everyday folk like herself to transform the way they relate to food and their body.

Some Of Sherry’s Startling Facts About Sugar and Other Sweeteners

Science shows us that sugar lights up the brain’s dopamine receptors eight times more than cocaine.   Furthermore, it lights them up not just it brighter but more parts of the brain.

Half a packet of Splenda can literally wipe out 50% of your microbiome, the good bacteria you need in your gut for optimal health.

Sherry found with her clients is when they looked at what was toxic with within their life mentally, emotionally, and spiritually. She helped replace those toxins with nourishing versions, success at releasing sugar and a lot of excess weight became much easier.

Eating whole foods is far more satisfying and brings you a different relationship and philosophy to eating.

Most supermarket produce is picked green, so it doesn’t have the full complement of nutrition.

Most people that come to Sherry are malnourished.

The thing that mainly stops people from wanting to start giving up sugar is the fear that the pull of the addiction is so strong that they’ll fail at it.

Alzheimer’s is called diabetes type 3 or diabetes of the brain.

Sherry Strong Founded the Sweet Freedom Project

Sherry is the founder and the creator of the Sweet Freedom Project. This is a multi-media transformational platform dedicated to helping people get sugar-free naturally for life..

In this episode, you’ll hear why it’s so hard to be free of sugar, why you should and some straightforward strategies for weaning yourself off sugar.

Standout Quotes:

• “Everything is run by habit.”
• “When you actually go to give up sugar, it’s not like this huge, scary thing. You actually start to get excited.”
• “There’s a point where your addiction is so bad that you think that sugar is stronger than you and that it’s absolutely impossible to give it up.”
• “Begin before you’re ready. Start before you’re ready. Don’t wait till you’re ready.”
• “When you can start this process from a place of love and not fear, you will draw resources, and resources will stay with you to help you on your path.”
• “I’d much rather have a greasy bowl of noodles with people who are kind, positive, loving, and upbuilding than to have the most gourmet nutritiously prepared meal with people who are angry, depressed, and negative.”

Key Takeaways:

• Sugar addiction is a serious issue. It can completely compromise your immune system, and it only takes about 100 grams of sugar.
• Most of our lives are run by habits. We have very little discretionary brainpower.
• When you’re making a change, it’s going against the stuff that’s already wired into your body because the subconscious is 99.998 percent of your mind. And that’s where all the habits are running.
• Sherry says that once her clients start to make changes in the mental, emotional, spiritual, making changes in the physical becomes so much easier because they are addressing the underlying causes as to what was driving them to have sugar or refined, processed foods.
• Most fruits and vegetables, when you get them fresh, have high energy, and by the time they’ve gotten to the store, it’s somewhere around 60% of their original energy.
• When people go to Sherry, they get a sense of peace that comes from understanding how we’re meant to eat. They are becoming transformed into the healthy human being they were meant to be.
• Just a little bit of nourishment is enough to transform children and change their drive and willingness to learn.
• Before you give up sugar in every meal, make sure that you have something that’s living, green, nourishing, energizing, and protective.
• When you cook with the intention of love, it’s infused into the food and tastes different.
• Sugar impacts everything. It creates inflammation and strips nutrients from your body. It disconnects you from your true source of healing.
