INTRODUCTION
Can the same techniques that get people off drugs get you off sugar?
The answer is yes and I’m going to show you how the gold standard in drug treatment addiction applies to any sugary food you’re hooked on. But first, let’s set up the context for what we’re about to do. We are going to borrow techniques developed in one discipline (Addiction Medicine) and apply them to another (weight loss).
Like medicines that work on conditions they weren’t meant to treat, we’re going to make off-label
use of addiction science to fix problems (like binging on sugar) it wasn’t originally designed to solve.
Off-label use
is most often associated with medicine but the concept is used everywhere. In business, they’re called cross-industry innovations
—solutions developed in one industry that address problems in unrelated industries. For example, the Japanese bullet train was inspired by the shape of a bird’s beak. BMW built a drive system invented by the video gaming industry.
It happens in science, too. For example, discoveries in chemistry helped Pasteur, a microbiologist, develop a vaccination for polio. They’re called cross-science innovations.
My first introduction to adapting and using off-label, or cross-science, solutions for weight loss occurred while I was under the care of a psychiatrist. I was hooked on the benzodiazepine Klonopin. To get me off the drug, my therapist used a technique first developed by the trailblazing psychiatrist Joseph Volpe. After successfully ending my addiction I asked the psychiatrist a question he hadn’t expected:
Could the same technique that got me off Klonopin get me off Oreos?
Hmm,
the psychiatrist said, rubbing his chin. I never thought about applying the same technique to sugar.
He agreed to guide me through the process and next thing I knew I had quit sugar the way I quit drugs.
It was at that moment I realized
