Hey guys, it's Candice Kay and welcome to the Wabi Sabi podcast.

This is episode 55, the two-week sugar detox.

If you're like me, you grew up with Capri Sun, squeeze its gushers, fruit by the foot.

Maybe you liked kudos, which were secretly just candy bars. Chewy chips deluxe, which Courtney and I used to throw over the fence because her mom

gave us so many cookies. We probably should have all been a lot bigger than we were, but we played like 75

sports in high school. But if you're like me, you grew up in the 80s, 90s, or even after 2000,

and you're a sugar addict. And that's because you grew up also drinking Coke Pepsi,

caprice and squeeze it, like we said, gushers fruit by the foot, kudos.

And does anybody ever remember like taking your fruit snacks and making like shapes out of

them or like playing nails with them?

Maybe I was the only one that did that because

it was a weirdo. But we really were conditioned to eat a lot of sugar that was also in our pasta

sauce. It was in our salad dressings and it was in everything from processed food to canned food

to microwavable food. Kid cuisine was something my sister and I did up on our fancy Friday nights when mom had to work.

And I think when we were sitting around watching movies like the Goonies or maybe it was

like Beetlejuice or maybe you had an obsession with coming to America like I did because your mom was a Japanese fresh off the boat mom and didn't

realize that you were watching the coolest movie ever while you were seven years old.

But regardless, if you grew up in those eras, then you're definitely a sugar addict. And it's not your

problem because when we were trick-or-treating and going door to door for a bag full of candy,

that was like 150 pounds of sugar. Then we are a byproduct of having to wean ourselves off of that now that we're all in our

20s, 30s, 40s, and we just want to fucking look good.

So allow me to help you.
