Delay to Conquer Sugar Cravings: Kicking Sweets & Culprit Carbs Can Be Easy
Whenever people meet me, join one of my Break Free programs or my free, online KickSugar support group, they almost immediately wail, “Can I really kick sugar? This is so hard!”
I feel such empathy, compassion and sadness, because I’ve been there myself! Often, I was wracked with disappointment and frustrating that I couldn’t kick my twisted, unhealthy sugar relationship.

In my book SUGAR SHOCK!, I share my Top 21 Sweet Sugar-Free Success Secrets and Strategies (plus a few more).

For my part, while I’m certainly not proud of the fact that at times, I don’t do things I’ve planned, I’ve found that turning delaying into an art or skill is a fun, clever way to give procrastination a positive spin!
I hit upon this incredible strategy back in 1998 when I reluctantly kicked sweets and refined carbs on doctor’s orders. To this day, I continue to be amazed at how easy, effortless, and darn effective it is to just delay.
That’s right — just delay away your sugar cravings.
