Why I recommend a "Low Carb Light" food plan in my Sugar-Free Recovery Program

Why a low-carb food plan works well for many food addicts.

Anyone who admits about themselves that they may be addicted to certain foods like smokers are to cigarettes will also tell you that those foods are never salad and eggs. The foods they are addicted to are almost always sugary, starchy hyper-processed foods.

A low carb food plan means eating less than 100 grams of net carbs a day (this is very different from the ketogenic diet which severely limits carbohydrate intake to less than 30 gram per day). The fact is that a low-carb food plan automatically eliminates the most addictive foods like added sugars, flours, and ultra-processed foods. These are the foods that usually cause cravings and also spike insulin which causes a whole bunch of health problems and weight gain over time.

This is why in my program, the GPS Method, I recommend abstaining from sugar, flour and hyper-processed foods and as a rule encourage what I call a "low carb light" food plan. This does not mean it’s true for everyone. Some people can recover from food addiction and still eat a lot of healthy grains and carbohydrates but it may be more difficult. Of course it's a very personal thing and there is no right answer for everyone but from 25 years of experience and the research I have done, I believe that most food addicts do better on a higher protein and lower carb food plan.
