I am a huge fan of the Dr. Oz Show. As much as I may get teased for tuning in on a (semi) daily basis, Dr. Oz and his guest hosts frequently explain complex ideas in ways that we can all understand. Take this sugar detox, for example. It may sound like a fad – there is a detox for just about everything floating around the internet or late-night infomercial television, and we are constantly being told by somebody in some magazine or blog post that everything is bad for you in one way or another.

But the sugar detox is not a fad: it is the only way to truly live a clean eating lifestyle. Think you can lose weight and gain energy just by cutting calories? Dr. Mark Hyman explains that “not all calories are the same; sugar calories and flour calories are different and they cause biological addiction.” The ten-day detox was scientifically designed to actually change your brain’s addiction to sugar and carbohydrates. Breaking the cycle isn’t easy, but it’s worth it – watch the video to find out how we can all take a step toward clean eating.
