"My commitment is 100 days without sugar": Martin
September 20, 2026
Martin was a guest on the Life After Sugar podcast on Episode 110 in February 2023. He’s back to ask me some questions about sugar, to talk about his new book, and also about the concept of an "irrevocable commitment".
Martin practises intermittent fasting. But he’s continued to have something sweet after dinner, which is a habit that goes back to childhood (nothing wrong with that!).
In this episode, we talk about:
- Martin’s 66-day experiment without desserts and what he learned from it
- How his thinking about the emotional connection he has with sweets changed
- Moderating or abstaining from sugar, and why what works for one person may not work for another
- Intermittent fasting, hunger and whether sugar affects fasting
- GLP-1 medications and changing our behaviour around food
- Martin's irrevocable commitment: You heard it here first!
