In Good Sugar Bad Sugar, renowned self-help author Allen Carr brings his famed Easyway method to the world of diet and nutrition, targeting one of today's most pervasive health crises: addiction to refined sugar and processed carbohydrates. With the same clarity and psychological insight that helped millions quit smoking, Carr aims to free readers from the cycle of sugar dependency without relying on willpower, deprivation, or gimmicks.

This book takes a fresh, no-nonsense approach to dietary change by focusing on the mental and emotional patterns behind unhealthy eating. Rather than promoting restrictive diets or counting calories, Carr delves into the "brainwashing" that causes us to crave what harms us and explains how to reframe our relationship with food—particularly sugar and carbs.

The Easyway method is compelling in its simplicity and practicality. Carr emphasizes freedom and empowerment over guilt and control, making this book accessible even to those who’ve struggled with countless diets. While the tone may feel repetitive at times, its reinforcing nature serves the method’s purpose: to gradually shift the reader's mindset and behavior.

A highly recommended read for anyone tired of the dieting rollercoaster and looking to make a lasting, sustainable change to their eating habits.

Good reference and information for anyone trying to deal with a diabetes diagnosis. Carr does a good job of explaining a complex, yet too often misunderstood disease.

Good Sugar Bad Sugar is a polemic about the dangers of sugar and how it causes chronic and debilitating illness like diabetes and metabolic immune disease. It is a book for people who want to quit eating sugar and/or are thinking about it. Mr. Carr premise is that we have been brainwashed to eat sugar despite the damage it causes. He is very convincing and his ability to show how sugar wrecks our bodies is rock solid. However, the author is quite certain that when we know how bad sugar is for us that we will easily, almost automatically stop. Ultimately he uses an intellectual argument and I see its value but it is hard for me to imagine that just logic and cerebral arguments alone will help people quit. I imagine most people need more support and help to stop eating sugar Despite the author's passionate belief that when we have the information we will stop eating sugar I have rarely seen change happen so quickly and easily. Or maybe this is just true for me. I am smart enough, I totally understand the dangers but it is still very hard to stop. And it is hard for this not to be acknowledged. . Right now it takes my full attention and focus.. So, although this book may be one of my most important tools in my quest to stop eating sugar. I just might need more than this.
