Nutritionist & Author of The Perfect Metabolism Plan

Sara Vance

Our health and our weight is not a factor of eating less and exercising more - it is dictated by our metabolism. When the metabolism is out of balance, our weight can be, as well as many other aspects of our health. My book The Perfect Metabolism Plan breaks it into 10 keys. Key #1 is to "Break up with Sugar." But as a former sugar junkie myself, I know it is not an easy thing to do. That is why I created the Break up with Sugar eCourse - to guide and support people that want to change their relationship with sugar and take back the control. It is step #1 in achieving optimal health and weight.Other important keys to a optimal metabolism include - improving hydration, detoxification, healing digestion, identifying food intolerances, getting high quality nutrition, exercising smarter (not harder), and more.My eCourses are all designed to help you optimize your metabolism and health.

When I first signed up for the Break up with Sugar program, I expected to attend a typical course, and I was skeptical about my ability to follow through. However, Sara's teaching style and masterful way of combining information, meaningful actions, and engaging conversations guided me to make a complete shift in my attitude toward sugar and my overall lifestyle. The Break up with Sugar program is much more than a course. It is a delightful and rewarding journey to a better life! I can't recommend this course highly enough, and I would eagerly attend any program Sara creates!

I want to thank you, sincerely, for allowing me to take part in the Breaking Up With Sugar course. I am stronger with the knowledge you have given me to choose healthier sugars in moderation. I am excited to see how far I 've come to this change in the past month, I have not mistreated nor misused sugar. You are teaching me new ways to view food and how it should be used to sustain me, not support me. I hope that you are able to share your program with everyone so that they too can achieve the things that I feel like I am accomplishing. There aren't enough superlatives that can express my absolute appreciation for what you have given me. I look forward to being a part of programs that you roll out in the future. Thank you :) Julie

I loved the Break up with Sugar course! I came into it thinking this would be all about sugar...and it is...but, it's so much more. Not only do I pay attention to the sugar in my foods now (and adjust what I'm eating accordingly), I have a better insight into my overall wellness. Sara doesn't just walk you through the facts about sugar, she helps you dig deep and connect to WHY you want to be healthier and break up with sugar. This is the key piece! In addition to all of the guidance, education, and support, Sara provides a fantastic recipe book. I've been working my way through the recipes and LOVE them...such a game changer for eating healthier. I also really loved her supplement guide. I've been taking the vitamins and enjoying the protein powder she recommends (I had been searching for months for a good protein powder and this one is the best!). Overall, I recommend this course to anyone wanting to get a good understanding of sugar and how it impacts your overall health. It's thorough and supportive. I really hope Sara creates more nutrition based e-Courses...I'm totally on board if she does!

This course has been really great for me. It is packed with information about sugar and not only why you should quit, but how to actually do it! I really felt as if Sara was holding my hand the whole way through, but now feel able to continue with my sugar free journey due to all the recipes provided. I would definitely recommend the course to anyone wishing to start living a healthier lifestyle.

I am a wellness professional and still managed to learn new information regarding sugar and its negative effects. The pace of the course was manageable and it was easy to integrate into my daily eating habits. I believe the way the course is structured, the amount of information presented, and access to Sara and the Facebook community make this program a must if you struggle with sugar. Thank you for these new tools, Sara! This is what I needed to simplify the removal of hidden sugar in my daily diet. I'm so glad I was able to participate in and experience the Break Up with Sugar Program.

Taking the Break Up With Sugar program has been truly life changing. I cannot thank Sara enough for all she has taught me! Thanks to her wonderful tips, knowledge and recipes, I have been able to regain control of my health and break my addiction to sugar. In the process of doing this e-course, I have lost 9 lbs so far, just through cutting out sugar and eating more healthy fats and proteins. Now that my eyes have been opened to the dangers of eating too much sugar, I am determined to make this a lifelong change. I look forward to being the healthiest and fittest version of myself!! I would recommend this course to anyone who is looking to break a sugar addiction but needs the support and tools to do so, or anyone who wants to gain knowledge and eat healthier.

I was scared to death to take this course, but I knew I needed to gain control over my sugar cravings. Wow! This course was just what I needed. Sara is so relatable and such an excellent teacher. I was never intimidated and was given the tools to not just break up with sugar for a few weeks, but for the rest of my life while being able to live life to the fullest. I am so excited for the journey that lies before me and feel that I have been given the tools needed to keep on the right path. I am truly thankful for this course and I highly recommend it!

I found this to be an amazing course. I signed up just to see what I might learn. I never imagined I was addicted to sugar!!! I learned so much about food, what is in it and how it affects me. I was able to immediately implement changes which have been fabulous. I never thought a smoothie would fill me up for breakfast. I used to eat breakfast and then a snack before lunch. Now I eat a smoothie and maybe a small muffin from the recipe book and am good until after noon. I have been introduced to supplements and powders about which I had not previously been aware. Love, love, love all this information, support, and application. I can't thank you enough!
