Michele Promaulayko is the former Editor-in-Chief of Women's Health, Yahoo Health, and Cosmopolitan. Her new book is Sugar Free 3: The Simple 3-Week Plan for More Energy, Better Sleep & Surprisingly Easy Weight Loss!

What you'll learn from this episode:

  • Why sugar consumption is such a hard habit to kick—especially when we have extra genetic or emotional factors working against us.

  • The unexpected places where sugar insidiously hides out and keeps us dependent without even knowing it.

  • Tips for crushing cravings and shedding sugar from your life in just three weeks (even if your lifestyle revolves around convenience).

  • How do you pronounce "Promaulayko," anyway? And whence arrives this surname most exotic?

  • Why we like big butts (and we cannot lie).

  • And so much more!
