What it is

A program built on peer-reviewed evidence — not wellness theatre.

Sound familiar?

If half of these are on your radar, sugar is probably part of the story.

We started in 2011 with a simple invitation: see what happens when you take the white stuff out for eight weeks.

It's not a diet. It's a recalibration.

How the 8-Week Reset works

A gentle experiment on your body and mind.

Each Wednesday we unlock the following week's plan.

Week 1–2

Reduce, then reset.

Stock the kitchen. Start scaling down sugar. Pump up protein and fat so you're never hungry.

Week 3–4

Read the labels.

Find the hidden sugar. Get your gut on side. Learn the fibre fix that changes everything.

Week 5–6

Out in the wild.

Eat-out playbook. Travel, family meals, and finding your social rhythm again.

Week 7–8

Sweetness, on your terms.

Reintroduce a little sugar (only what you actually want). Food freedom for good.

Real transformations

Eight weeks. Lives reshaped.

Not just kilos.

The IQS Story

Started in 2011.
Still showing up now.

I Quit Sugar was founded by Sarah Wilson in 2011 — a journalist who set out to fix her own thyroid, her own moods, her own cravings, and wrote down what worked. Four New York Times bestsellers and 1.8 million books sold later, the work continues.

You don't have to feel like this forever.

Eight weeks. Real food. A version of you that recognises herself in the mirror again.

Real questions

The bits people actually ask.

Is this a diet?

It's not a diet. We don't count calories. We choose full-fat over low-fat every time.

Can I eat fruit, bread, chocolate, wine?

Yes (in moderation). The 'sugar' we mean is mostly fructose.

How is this different from the original 8-Week Program?

Bones are the same; what's new is hormones, protein, fibre, gut-brain, and a movement plan.

What if it doesn't work for me?

Complete Week 1. If you're not feeling a real difference, email us at support@iquitsugar.com within 14 days for a full refund. No forms, no follow-up questions.

How much time per week does it take?

About 20 minutes of admin a week. Most recipes are under 30 minutes.

Does it work for vegetarians? Gluten-free? GLP-1 users?

Yes to all three.
