Hi -- just bought the book
« on: April 07, 2012, 05:41:03 AM »
Hi everyone -- I went to the bookstore in my pancake and popcorn induced haze (almost a drunk) and looked at books on Wednesday night.  I looked through the Fat to Skinny book but didn't buy it.  Well tonight after still more popcorn and 2:00 a.m. forays into the kitchen to prepare pancake binges, decided I needed to get back to the bookstore to buy the book and figure out what I'm doing wrong -- binging on sugar.  While at the bookstore tonight I also saw William Duffy's Sugar Blues book -- and you know I read that book way back when it first came out and it has always been tugging in the sugar-hazed corners of my mind that sugar is my real problem. 

So today is the day I start eating however this book recommends......because what i'm doing on my own for sure isn't working.....

Have a great day. 

Elizabeth

Hi Elizabeth! You've come to the right place! Get rid of all the high-carb stuff in your house and start replacing that food with FTS deliciousness. Come here for support and encouragement. You'll love this lifestyle and this forum! (And WELCOME to the group!)

Hi Elizabeth! :)

Like most of us here... You are a sugar addict.

Our bodies have become accustomed to have very high blood glucose levels for very long periods of time.
The moment the level falls, sugar cravings kick in and the urge to eat sugar (carbs) becomes very strong.

It takes most folks 10-14 days to detox from sugar.
This period is the tough part. But once you get through it, you'll feel so much better and your energy levels with be crazy!

You may be one of the lucky few that doesn't have bad side effects from detoxing.
But if you do (or do not), remember that we are all here to help you along!

I'm looking forward to hearing about your FTS journey!
