MK Mueller, author of the award-winning Eight to Your Ideal Weight book, will lead a four-week course on how to get off sugar, lose weight and feel and look younger, from 7 to 8:30 p.m. beginning January 5 and the next three Tuesdays of the month at the Skinny Pantry, in Fort Myers. An online course is also available beginning January 15.

Mueller, who recently relocated to our area, has given keynote addresses to many Fortune 500 companies worldwide and her five other books have won Best Self-Help Book of the Year awards several times. “My books are about an eight-step happiness formula that works like a roadmap,” she says. “When I realized that sugar was keeping me from fully working my own process, I got serious, learned how to stop sweet cravings for good, and then had to share this good news with the world.”  
 
She classifies her weight-loss program as “simple and easy: no pills, no counting calories or points and no shakes or special foods. Because of that, it is a program for life. Once you’re on it, you’ll never want to go off.”
