But does it really take willpower to?, or is it a shift of perspective that is really needed?<\/p>\nYou only need willpower not to do something that you actually want to do. If you don\u2019t want to do something, it doesn\u2019t take willpower not to do it. The difficulty that many experience is because even though they want to quit sugar, they still want to keep eating the kind of food that makes that hard. They want to keep eating it because they believe that it gives them some kind of pleasure or crutch.<br><br>Allen Carr\u2019s Easyway shows you how to correct your perspective with respect to not only over-eating but the type of food that you enjoy in a way that leaves you with no desire to keep eating junk food whatsoever. And with no desire to keep eating junk, it doesn\u2019t take willpower to not eat it.
