Overcoming Sugar Addiction:How to Kick Your Sugar Habit and Create a Joyful, Sugar Free Lifeby Karly Randolph Pitman |
If you’re sugar sensitive, here’s how you can break free from the emotional and physical cost of eating sugar. Follow Karly’s personal story as she demonstrates how you, too, can overcome an addiction to sugar.
“I had been trying to give up sugar for about 5 months now. I had tried just about everything you tried in your book, and (coincidentally) had the same results. I even got hypnotized. Well, I started reading your book, I only went through the first 80 pages to begin with then I followed what you said…It’s been 3 weeks now since I’ve had sugar or flour and I don’t even have the cravings. I finished your book and I must thank you so so much for helping me. After trying pretty much everything, I finally broke free.” – Pete M. more feedback…
Overcoming Sugar Addiction was an Internet sensation when it was first published in 2008, with over 10,000 downloads from around the world. The updated, revised 3rd edition of Overcoming Sugar Addiction released in spring 2012 has even more tools to help you break free from sugar, and is why readers regularly say “it’s the best sugar book out there.”
But, dear reader, this is not a diet book. Yes, food choices are important, and kicking your sugar habit will be a journey for your physical body, as I myself experienced. To help you, there’s an expanded chapter on “What to Eat” and how to find the type of sugar free eating plan that best fits your body.
But more importantly, this book shows how emotions, memories, and habits leave you vulnerable to sugar’s siren song. For changes to last, you need to heal on an emotional and spiritual level — touching your very soul. This is what the last 4 chapters of the book cover. (For the deepest level of healing, look into Becoming Binge Free, the follow up workbook to Overcoming Sugar Addiction.)
The information you impart is presented in such a down-to-earth, ‘homey’ way that I feel as though you are someone living here with me and giving me the benefit of your advice in a tone and in terms that I can relate to and want to hear. – Martin T., Australia more feedback…
The idea of kicking a sugar habit intimidates all who seriously consider it. I explain how to get ready — and how you’ll know when you’re ready — to overcome an addiction to sugar. This book shares exactly how I did it so you can do the same – without feeling deprived, resentful, or like a food cop.
My gentle, compassionate approach will help you give up sugar while maintaining a relaxed, intuitive relationship with food. Release yourself from sugar bondage following a method that’s joyful, sustainable and lasting.
What a beautiful book! First, we’re taught how to gently detox from sugar, by courageously, structurally, and caringly preparing our bodies, minds, spirits, and loved ones. Then, we learn how, with tenderness and compassion, we can venture into a lifelong process of sugar freedom. Giving us a glimpse of her own life, Karly shows us practicalities and possibilities of food selection and preparation. In a most supportive manner, she helps us see how it really is possible to have, both, sugar abstinence and a relaxed approach to eating. And then, once we’ve gotten through our sugar detox, we’re giftedly instructed on how we can replace our old thinking with new; and how we can create structures that will support us in our quest for a lifetime of sugar abstinence. – Justin B. more feedback…

What’s new in the book’s 3rd edition, spring 2012
A new chapter on finding the deepest freedom from sugar, uprooting the deepest suffering that keeps us stuck and addicted. I wrote this after my loss of sugar abstinence in 2010. There remained healing the relationship with myself. I share how I found my way back, uncovering layers of compassion and self-forgiveness. I no longer walk around fearing “what if I go back to sugar?” Read the book to understand how my sugar abstinence today comes from a place of deep self love.
A new bonus audio is also included, with instructions directing paperback buyers how to download the audio. Or ebook buyers get instant email access.
What was new in the book’s 2nd edition, spring 2010
Explore 10 principles for joyful sugar free living. This touches on something that’s so hard for many people: living a life without resentment towards your sugar abstinence. It’s one thing to grit your teeth and skip the cookies, it’s quite another to smile as you pass them over without a 2nd thought (okay, maybe a 2nd thought, but not a 3rd 
. These 10 principles summarize, in one place, the key changes that have made it possible for me to heal my sugar addiction. If I had to make a short, brief guidebook about unhooking from food, these 10 principles are it. I don’t face the fridge without them.
A bonus chapter conceived as a pep talk, a motivational “How do I keep going?” chapter when it feels hard and challenging. Yes, it will. But yes, you can do it. I’ll show you how.
A greatly expanded “What to eat?” chapter (doubled in size). This gets much more into how to approach food when you’re abstaining from sugar. Lots to share here over the last 3 years of living this way, free of what was a debilitating sugar addiction. I eat differently now than when I first stopped eating sugar, and the book reflects these changes.

I recently bought Overcoming Sugar Addiction. It is the best book that I could have ever purchased! I have read so many books that talk about not eating sugar and how healthy that is for you, but no book has ever covered how to actually give up sugar. This book finally covers that! For a large portion of sugar addicts, sugar addiction stems much further than the physiological needs for sugar – it goes very deep emotionally and mentally. This book helps you work through the deepest attachments to sugar and shows you how to live a life sugar free! The best book out there for anyone trying to remove sugar from their lives! - M.
