Dr. Fuhrman surprised Catarah and Shoneji with a trip to Italy for Dr. Fuhrman’s detox getaway to learn how to knock out their sugar addiction. One of the things they were told was that their taste buds would change and neither one of them believed him. But they said they have changed. They’re both really excited because they can feel the difference in their lives and know they’re improving their health.
Dr. Oz: Improving Their Health By Overcoming Sugar Addiction
Since then, Shoneji has lost 15 pounds and Catarah has lost 11 pounds. Shoneji said the day after she left Dr. Oz, she started the three-day sugar detox and it was hard for her. She didn’t know what to do or what to substitute for sugar when she got cravings.
Dr. Oz took them to the truth tube and revealed that when they started, Catarah was eating 136 grams of sugar. Now, she’s eating 61 grams of sugar. For Shoneji, she was eating 135 grams of sugar and now she’s eating 59 grams. The cool thing is that not only is this a huge drop, but this sugar is all coming from natural sources like fruit and things like that. They both had zero grams of added sugar.
Dr. Oz: Reversing Sugar Addiction
Catarah said she still considered herself addicted to sugar, but the difference is that now she’s in control. If she decides to have something, she knows how to have what she wants when she wants it in a healthy way. Shoneji said she used to have headaches and now her headaches are gone. She also used to feel tired all the time, but now that’s gone.
Catarah said now they just had to get through Thanksgiving. Dr. Oz said he wanted them to share their secret recipes for beating sugar addiction.
