I’ve been eating better for over a month now, and after just one week, I found I hardly craved sweets, and when I did, a peach would satisfy those cravings. Admittedly, the first week was really tough. It was almost like a detox. But now, even though I still have the occasional treat, it doesn’t spiral out of control like it used to. (And I’ve lost 8 pounds so far!)
I urge your readers with sugar issues to sign up for your class — I know they won’t regret it.

We live in Brussels where the weather is grey and the chocolate is really good. I can see an environmental cause and effect here, because the coco, in both chocolate and coffee, is really helpful on those blah days. Only thing is that now I have the habit of looking for chocolate after every meal. I suppose it is dark chocolate with less sugar, but I would like to downgrade choclate from an addiction to a treat.

Awesome, Megan! Great to hear that you are doing so well with your diet experiment.

Hi Dana,
Yes, sugar and caffeine can be an enticing combination, especially if the weather is very gray. From my own experience, I noticed that once I cut caffeine out, I didn’t have the same urgent cravings for sugar. You could also try raw cacao nibs - of course it doesn’t really compare to Belgian chocolate, but it’s something to consider…
