Is Sugar Addiction Real?  Catherine Gordon, the author of Sugar Freedom at sugarfreedom.com uses the 11 criteria from the Diagnostic Manual of Mental Disorders 5th Edition to illustrate how sugar and processed foods can qualify as addictive substances.  Using real life examples she shares how you can consider whenther you are dealing with a substance use disorder when it comes to food, and steps you can take to seek help.

Since the start of the Covid 19 pandemic, each of us has had to deal with fear and uncertainy.  We are trying to figure out how to live, work, and take care of ourselves without a clear understanding of when we can re-join our communities in person.  Many of my friends and colleagues have been posting about their challenges with anxiety.  Some quiet their fears with food, and this podcast tells how I have stayed anxiety free while maintaining a healthy weight during physical distancing.  By sticking to my Keto/Carnivore eating practice I have stayed safe and sane.  Listen in to understand how it works. Note: This is my personal story of eating for health and happiness.  Pleasecheck with a doctor or dietitian before changing your diet.  

The Ketogenic Diet has been studied extensively for weight loss, but it has other imortant proven benefits.

Last week, my son completed his senior research paper on the benefits of art education.  When I read it, I was struck by the evidence for improvements in physical, emotional, and economic health that arts education can provide.  These benefits come from practicing music, theatre, dance, painting, sculpting, video production, and more.  Art is fun, and it's good for us, so why don't we spend more of our free time dancing, drawing, playing music, or acting?  In my case, I don't practice the art forms I love because I am afraid of being judged.  In today's podcast, I look at the barriers to self expression, and offer some solutions to help us get on the path to happy creativity.  Recommended reading: "Freeing the Natural Voice,"  by Kristin Linklater.

When I first quit sugar back in 2008, I was able to overcome overweight and obesity by cutting out added sugars and nearly all grains.  At that time, I could have small amounts of oat bran and Ezekiel bread without triggering bouts of overeating.  After turning 50 in 2014, I found that I was happier, healthier, and leaner when I pulled all of the grains out of my eating plan.  Recently, I have even done carb-free days which  have had a positive effect on my appetite and waistline.  In this podcast, I descrbe the three levels of carbohydrate restriction that have allowed me to stay at a healthy weight and size for ten years.

Hello Freedom Fans,  This week I was interviewed by a reporter from First for Women Magazine as a follow up to the story they did on my win in a transformation contest.  The interview got me thinking about the most important aspects of permanent change.  I am convinced that the most important part of permanent fat loss is the discovery of the foods that nourish and satisfy you without over stimulating your appetite.  On this podcast, I will share my three level eating strategy.  I hope it helps you as much as it has helped me to keep the weight off.

Sugar Freedom was created to help you end cravings without going hungry.  The Freedom 14 adds the training that helps ensure that any weight loss you experience will come from fat: not muscle.  This helps people who want to maintain their success escape from the "Weight Trap," which is the difficult fact that diets can cause the body to become more efficient at using fuel.  By following a moderate but effective resistance training program, we can keep the metabolic fires turned up.  

Catherine Best Gordon ACE-CPT introduces the Freedom 14: a system to eliminate your sugar cravings and establish your fitness training program in 14 days.  The program is short in order to encourage adherence and compliance.  It is possible to stay cheat free for two weeks, and avoiding cheats is key when the goad is to get rid of sugar and carb craving.  After the 14 day plan, low sugar fruits, dairy, and nuts come back onto your menu, and after a break they taste wonderful.  The most important goal of the Freedom 14 is to simplify your nutrition and fitness routine so that you can experience freedom from cravings.  Catherine's nutrition program is available at sugarfreedom.com.   She is available for personal training program design at: catherine@cardiofreedom.com

If my Fairy Good-Sister came to me and said, "I will give you the body you need to fulfill your life purpose, guaranteed, but you can only eat 30 grams of carbohydrate per day for the rest of your life," do you know what I would say? "I'll do it." I am so passionate about training, coaching, dancing, sininging, and choreogrphy that I would not hesitate to give up sugary starchy foods for the rest of my life. Still, I keep trying to add back more fruit and some grains, and reducing the fat in my eating plans in order to make them less extreme, more mainstream, and easier to offer to a broader audience.  What I have had to accept is the fact that what is popular isn't what works for me, and it doesn't work well for my readers and listeners who struggle with sugar compulion, insulin resistance, and carbohydrate intolerance. Since the start of 2017 I have been tinkering with my nutrition, and it has backfired.  Thankfully, I am back on the Keto-cart and feeling so much better.  Here is what I have learned, and I hope this episode helps you to find the eating plan that works for you, for life.

Sugar, grains, and appetite: How does eating sugar, and the foods that quickly break down into glucose, increase appetite?  How can appetite management lead to fat release and peace around food?

Freedom Friday offers tips, menus, and fitness plans to help you have a great week.   How much weight could you lose if you could stick to your food and fitness plan over the week-end? If you're like me, staying on plan is easier from Monday to Friday than it is on Saturday and Sunday.  My usual work and training schedule helps me to keep my commitments.  I look, feel, and perform better when I keep sugar, grains, and seconds off of the menu so it's easier to leave them alone when there is work to be done. When Saturday and Sunday come around, the little voice in my head says, "Don't you deserve to let yourself go? Everyone else is doing it."  As the Sugar Freedom Woman, I almost always stay strong, but I do get tempted! Here is how I handle the week-ends and stay slim. During the week I follow a Ketogenic food plan.  In addition to leaving out grains and sugar, I also eliminate fruit, nuts, and dairy except for the organic heavy cream I use in my morning coffee.  On the week-end I pick one day when I can enjoy a piece of fruit, a serving of stevia sweetened dark chocolate, or an elegant serving of cheese. On very special occasions, I will make my Freedom Chocolate Mousse, and serve it with strawberries and crushed pistachios.  It is delicious, elegant, and it doesn't trigger my appetite. If we eat simply during the week, we can add back a few of our Fancy Freedom Foods without gaining fat.   If you want to take your Sugar Freedom results to the next level, join my Six Week Challenge.  Get meal plans, training, social support, and coaching calls.
