Book Cover
Beat Sugar Addiction Now! for Kids: The Cutting-Edge Program That Gets Kids Off Sugar Safely, Easily, and Without Fights and Drama
The book starts of by explaining that many kids are having high levels of sugar intake which is beyond the recommend level. In the six chapter book parents are given the following
– A tool kit for ensuring success.
– Information on how to limit your kids sugar intake
– Revamping breakfast
– Reduce sweets and having healthy snacks
-Make over desserts
– Finding and replacing hidden sugars
There has been many studies linking a diet high in sugar to ADHD, cavities and diabetes among others. The authors recommend starting by calculating the among of sugar your child consumes on a daily basis and work from there on how to reduce it. Once you know the among the kids take it is time to diligently reduce the among to acceptable levels.
My thoughts
I was surprised to know that a bar of chocolate candy contains more caffeine then a cup of hot cocoa. The information offered in this book isn’t something new and there is no new magic formula or plan which is taught. However it does give me a clearer understanding on how sugar enters our daily diet and how I can make sure that the kids eat more healthy.

I really think that the philosophy of a good diet habit is to eat anything in moderation. That’s what I always try to do.

I really want to control my children’s sugar intake so I don’t give them candies, they don’t drink soda, and we give fruit juice once in a while only. The snacks they always eat are fruits. I hoped they like wheat bread as white bread turn to sugar too, but too bad, they dislike it.

I will check this book out, and if it’s useful here in our setting, I might get it. I have a kid who has a sweet tooth and it’s a challenge for me to curb his cravings. 😀 Thanks for sharing!

Good to know that kid’s sugar addiction can be treated. It’s pretty hard but its achievable right?
