BB-ATE

I heard you on Joe Rogan and threw out the last of my candy and sugar I had around the house that night. I am sugar free for a month now. I am in the process of reading your book and find it fascinating, frustrating and a little scary. My family thinks I am crazy for cutting sugar. What's the simplest way to explain your findings to them to try and make them see the light? Thank you for your work. It's life changing.

When crabs are in a pot (or bucket) they try to escape. Instead of going one by one, they pull each other back in the pot instead of getting out.

Essentially, people don't want you to succeed if they can't succeed. Not that my family doesn't want me to be happy and healthy, they just chose to live a typical lifestyle filled with indulgences and bad habits even though they say they want to be healthy.

Mike Dolce (who should have you on his podcast) talks about the crabs in the pot all the time.

I also quit drinking (for other reasons) and they were all for that. I get they're the crabs in the pot. Hopefully one day they find their way out. Thanks.

I eat a 1/4 cub of blueberries a day and am still at or under my 25 g of carbs a day.
