An honest and realistic guide to reducing sugar in your family's diet and improving their health for good.

Book Hero Magic formatted this description to make it easier to read. While it's new and still learning, it may not be perfect - your feedback is welcome! Description

Sugar is everywhere. Do your children beg you to buy unhealthy sugary snacks at the supermarket, and kick up a tantrum if you refuse? Perhaps you crave sweet treats, bread, pasta, and sauce-laden food yourself. Do you notice lethargy and mood swings in your children as a result of blood glucose spikes and dips?

If the answer to any of these questions is yes, your family's health is at risk. Dr Val Wilson can help. Having lived with Type 1 diabetes for more than four decades, her relationship with sugar has at times been very unhealthy, but today she is well in control of her sugar intake.

How to Reduce Your Child's Sugar Intake is packed with recent scientific research and nutritional information to help you understand addiction to sugar and conquer it. It provides simple, actionable advice and delicious recipes to help you break free from the mental, physical, and emotional traps of old eating patterns.

This book shows the way to a sustainable, healthy lifestyle. It will enable you and your family to enjoy dramatically improved health and mood, increased energy levels, and weight loss.
