Is Sugar a Drug?

Dr. Barry Sears, who wrote The Zone has become the "nutritionist of choice" of CrossFit HQ. Per Coach Glassman, this is primarily because the Zone can be measured, and thus is easier to adjust.


Dr. Sears admits that ideally one should eat a Paleo Diet in Zone proportions, but he also states emphatically that he believes food combining is far more important to one's health than eating Paleo in unlimited quantities. If you are a subscriber to the CrossFit Journal (see link from my home page), there is a terrific video regarding this found in the archives of December 6, 2009.


That is a pretty powerful statement and perhaps worth exploring. Once again, per Dr. Sears, FOOD COMBINING (40% CARBS, 30% PROTEIN, 30% FAT) AT EVERY MEAL IS FAR MORE IMPORTANT THAN EATING HEALTHY FOODS IN UNLIMITED OR UNCOMBINED PROPORTIONS.



Ok. So what does that have to do with sugar? Find out whether cocaine or sugar is more addictive. Here is a short excerpt from a video from Dr. Sears' site that is literally food for thought. Click here. Then click on "Sugar Addiction".
