After writing The Virgin Diet, JJ noticed that there was still one last thing tripping people up when it came to reaching their health and weight loss goals—their sweet tooth! Sugar is an addiction so many of us have trouble kicking. Today's interview features community member Kate Jansen and her story about how she finally overcame her persistent sweet cravings. You'll learn how Kate followed the Sugar Impact Diet to the letter, and how important her mindset was to make that final leap into true healthy eating. Plus, JJ shares her philosophy on "A- eating" and striving for progress over perfection. Following Kate's success in getting over her sugar habit, she still has a goal of increasing her muscle mass as she moves through her 40s. JJ offers advice on how to adjust your exercise routine (whether you're a fitness newbie or well trained at the gym), provides recommendations on foods to eat to build muscle, and helps Katie figure out how to reach her optimal protein intake on a tight schedule with an early bedtime. If you've eliminated all the Hi-FI foods and are still trying to make it over this one last hump, you won't want to miss this conversation!
