Alexandra Paul has a lot going right for her, but there is something that she’s struggled with for most of her adult life. She has a “dirty little secret.” And it’s something most of us also struggle with, though many not consciously. Alexandra is an addict.
What is she addicted to?
Wait for it…
Sugar.
While Alexandra is a vegan, contrary to what you might think, there is a ton of sugar and processed food available that is “vegan friendly.” Prior to her first Whole Life Challenge, she admits she was a sugar and processed-food “junkie.” Her journey through the WLC challenged her to face some deeply ingrained habits around food (like snacking every day on Clif bars), and gave her both a reason and the support she needed to give up her dependence on sugar.
For Alexandra (like many of us), moderation around sugar wasn’t really an option. And now, with her newly discovered consciousness, sugar no longer has the power it once had over her and her life.
