is sugar your drug of choice I'm not
here to guilt-trip you the fact is it
used to be my demon - sugar has every
characteristic of a chemical including
the reaction of your neurological system
the dopamine cycle animal studies show
that sugar is more addictive than
cocaine I'm Robin oppa cha I'm the green
smoothie girl online and I want to share
with you that your addiction to sugar
isn't your fault
but the junk food manufacturers aren't
gonna help you out of that addiction
they're just gonna keep making more more
and more so you and I are the only ones
motivated to help ourselves out of that
really destructive cycle with huge
consequences to our health of eating
processed sugar this is my children's
book The Adventures of junk food dude so
why would I read you a children's book
well just a few pages junk food dude
looks like now one-third of American
children do who are now overweight his
family doesn't know better he's grown up
on fast food and processed food and now
he finds himself outside the circle of
cool kids who are picked first for games
on the playground but green smoothie guy
isn't just raised to eat healthy Whole
Foods he's also just a nice kid who
feels bad for a boy who's being left out
I'm gonna read you just three pages
about when green smoothie guy invites
junk food dude over after school wear
junk food dude is introduced to a
completely different way of eating at
Green's Mini guy's house junk food dude
soft foods had never eaten before he
wanted to try them too at first he
didn't like them
green smoothie guy said they don't taste
good because you eat sugar every day try
not eating sugar for four days then good
foods will taste great a junk food dudes
house almost everything had sugar
chemicals and food dye in it he had to
read food labels he didn't eat corn
syrup sugar or aspartame or monosodium
glutamate or colorings
or ingredients he couldn't pronounce
those four days were really hard
but on the fourth day green smoothie guy
peeled him in orange now try it he said
the orange tasted like heaven so juicy
that's because now your body isn't so
used to eating things that are too sweet
green smoothie guy told him so you're an
adult why would I read you a bit from
this children's book well in my surveys
and on my lecture tour of 450 cities
nationwide for six years I found that
most adults have never gone four whole
days without eating sugar I want you to
know that two powerful things happen
when you stop eating sugar for just four
days first your tastes change Whole
Foods like a piece of fruit tastes
delicious and second sugar loses its
hold on you you really aren't tempted
like you were before your body is
adapted to love Whole Foods and four
days starves out your addiction really
powerfully I've taken sugar bets for up
to a year before and what I learned
years ago during my first one-year sugar
bet is that I have just as much fun I
enjoy food just as much even when I'm
not eating addictive processed food give
it a try you'll need an accountability
partner
