We all know sugar is everywhere and in almost everything. We know it’s not the best for us, we know we probably consume too much of it. But what if you broke your addiction? What if you no longer NEEDED that piece of cake or felt bad after having some chocolate? In this video, I want to share my sugar journey and how I haven’t been addicted to refined sugars for almost 10 years. It’s a pretty sweet life 🌈 DISLAIMER: The only degree I have is a Bachelor of Film and Screen Media Production. I am not qualified to give any nutrition or diet-related advice. This video is my personal experience. Please consult your appropriate health professionals before making any changes to your diet.
