Will save your life

I've been on several Allen Carr courses and can't recommend them highly enough. I did it by binging on sugar and pizza, got to the point of feeling really horrible then pressed play. I listened to it in one sitting. It worked.

Fantastic & Works

I’ve used Allen Carr for smoking and now sugar and the technique works.
Very happy and highly recommend

Hmmm

Interesting idea but really not that inspiring and unrealistic. The idea is logical, give up all sugar and you'll lose weight.

However, maybe I took the book up wrongly but I am looking to better my self control, living in a house with anyone else (especially when I'm not the only one eating or cooking!) makes this virtually impossible.

Again Alan is a genius

I loved this book, I know in my heart that I am free of bad sugar and I’m excited about slowly killing that sugar monster if he dares to show his horrible little head.
Thank you Alan, this book is perfect I highly recommend it to the People who want to be free of the bad sugar monster.

Good addiction theory but bad dietary advice

This book has a major flaw - it is biased towards a frutarian diet, insisting that proper human food is fruit, nuts and seeds. The book treats meat as a secondary food. Whilst this view finds mainstream support in from many health authorities, I am sympathetic to the view that meat is primary human food and that fruit, veg, nuts and seeds are secondary. This makes sense when you consider the natural seasonality of fruit and veg and the fact that we can only enjoy find these foods in the shops due to modern transportation from overseas.

The addiction theory seems sound I will apply it and am confident it will stop me returning to the trough of sugar addiction. It was however difficult to listen to when I know that eating fruit will also give me sugar problems and I had to mentally substitute meat into Allan Carr’s narrative.

Worth listening to

There is a lot of good advice in the book but it’s very repetitive, though that is the method of the process. The premise is that will power will fail you but the way to succeed is to tell yourself you don’t want to eat refined sugar and carbs. There is a lot of language that seems a bit out of step (addict, junkie etc) which could do with being edited as this is not a helpful way to describe any substance that people struggle with. A lot of comparisons to Heroin users and the idea of little monsters and big monsters. It is helpful but the method might not be to everyone’s taste.
