Too many people are eating too much sugar, often despite knowing better.
Whether you subsist on sugar to try and maintain your energy, believe you’ve ‘inherited’ a sweet tooth, or find it’s cravings that undo all of your other good work, you’re not alone. Many people struggle to avoid sugar.
Our minds trick us into thinking it’s just one little snack here, a couple of bites there, an office birthday celebration, a much needed afternoon pick-me-up or a post dinner ‘treat’… however the cumulative effect of this over months, years and decades really adds up.
Many people believe they don’t eat that badly, yet they can’t believe the major improvements in their health when they say goodbye to excess sugar.
The thing about sugar is, the more we have of it, the more we want.
Our body physically and biochemically changes to crave more of the sweet stuff. Additionally, the more sugar we eat, the more insulin the body has to produce, which in excess, instructs the body to store fat and avoid burning it.
Are you stuck in a sugar craving cycle?
When it comes to sugar, we can easily slip into a tricky cycle where we don’t realise just how much we’re eating. Or we do, but we can’t seem to stop. And there are many valid reasons for this—that have nothing to do with willpower. Official guidelines suggest we consume no more than 6 teaspoons per day for optimum health. Yet, in many developed countries, people consume an average of 37 teaspoons of sugar a day (NZ statistics, 2021)—that’s an additional 124g of sugar per day, or 45kg of sugar per year for our body’s load!
In this 6-week online course, Dr Libby teaches you how to kick the sweet stuff once and for all and reset your body’s natural set-point for sweet foods.
The regular overconsumption of sugar is linked to a host of serious health problems as well as symptoms that disrupt the quality of our daily life, including:
- Increased risk of kidney damage
- Recurrent urinary tract infections
- Bloating
- Reflux
- Headaches
- Skin issues
- Heart disease
- Insulin resistance
- Tooth decay
- Obesity
- Type 2 diabetes
- Fatty liver disease
- Poor mental health
- Challenging menstrual cycles
- Difficult transitions through menopause
- Just to name a few!
Don’t let it take a health crisis to wake you up to change the way you’re living.
Just how much sugar is in our food?
A chocolate bar with 24g of sugar is equal to 5 teaspoons of sugar.
A 250ml can of energy drink with 27g of sugar is equal to 5.5 teaspoons of sugar.
A vanilla ice cream cone with 18g of sugar is equal to 3.5 teaspoons of sugar.
A 600ml bottle of soft drink with 64g of sugar is equal to 13 teaspoons of sugar.
A slice of chocolate cake with 25g of sugar is equal to 5 teaspoons of sugar.
A 500ml bottle of orange juice with 40g of sugar is equal to 8 teaspoons of sugar.
Three biscuits with 15g of sugar is equal to 3 teaspoons of sugar.
Learn how to overcome sugar cravings and kick out sugar for good
1. Shake off
The first stage is all about shaking off your body’s physical reliance on sugar. This is done gently and supportively using Dr Libby’s knowledge and wisdom of the body systems (such as the gut and brain) and biochemical pathways sugar impacts.
2. Shift
The second stage focuses on the mental and emotional aspects of sugar and why we crave it. It teaches you practical tools, techniques and tips on what to reach for (or what to do) in those moments when your mind–or tastebuds–crave sugar.
3. Substitute

What people say about Dr Libby's courses
What an inspiration you are! I thoroughly enjoyed the course and learnt so much. I had my gall bladder out a couple of years ago and managing foods and weight over the last couple of years has been hard. This course has helped me in so many ways especially learning about the detox process with the liver and how certain foods, alcohol affects it all. Thanks for all your help.

Again, thank you from the bottom of my heart. I am looking forward to my continued journey! X
