Your welcome Steve ... I check my food labels more closely now, and cannot believe the amount of frutose put into our food ... it is even in saltines!

I also noticed many of the food producers are either not listing it, or using fuzzy phrases to hide the fact sugar and frutose have been added as an ingrediant.

Thankyou for posting this video Hugh will certainly pass on and it has made me think about my diet.steve

Since Hugh posted this material awhile back I almost unconsciously adjusted my eating habits and cut back considerably on refined carbs and I have been losing weight without really any effort. It just seems that minus the sugars anything resembling a "craving" is much weaker and very easy to deal with-and I would agree with Walt, its not simply "move more, eat less."

Walt Potter asks: As we learn more about how the body reacts to food, as a drug, do you think that hypnotic weight loss programs will change? Walt

My answer: I have already changed my programs for weight release, focused more on maintaining overall health which includes more fresh fruits, vegetables, and fiber ... especially fiber.

Dennis thank you. An I hope that Hugh continues his series.
As we learn more about how the body reacts to food, as a drug, do you think that hypnotic weight loss programs will change? It's beginning to appear that for some at least, eating from the pyramid is not a good idea.
It's not as simple as "move more, eat less".

I remember my mother struggling to deal with her ulcers. Lost most of her stomach. In the end it was bacteria.

Hi Dennis,

I watched this video after you posted the link on Facebook, thank you! It reinforces the message that Hugh has been sharing with us and Dr. Lustig's adamant words about sugar as poison really hits home. Years ago I "gave up" my affair with sugar as far as candy and treats go, but in recent years have had to become a detective to catch it in other foods.

The good news, Dennis, is that it won't take long at all and you will find a sugar-less life quite easy to maintain! I can seriously look at sugary items without any desire. I believe that my avoidance of processed sugars, combined with my family genetics, a regular exercise regime and use of hypnosis strategies for health have kept me out of the clutches of the medical system!

When working with clients for weight issues, it's not surprising that most of them have sugar addiction. A powerful tool to change the way people look at processed sugars is to educate them on the sneaky ways our government and the food industry have infiltrated them into our food supply. No one likes to be duped, and once a client understands that it's war, they are ready to put on their fighting gloves!

Thanks again for sharing the video, good health to you! Kelley

Dennis,

Great video. Thanks for posting it again. Remember, you can use EFT for your sugar cravings. It also helps to eat a little protein instead. A few almonds work well. Not a lot, 6-7.

I went though that same withdrawal years ago over caffeine. Another VERY effective drug. For awhile I could have easily tacked someone to get their cup of something with caffeine. LOL I wish I'd known self hypnosis and EFT back then.

Makes me glad I'm a naturalist beekeeper.
