One or the other, according to hormonal changes I suppose, but I always want the bad stuff, I never crave health food!<br />I just need to find a way to cut out sugar, wheat and alcohol that I can live with. Problem is, lack of will power. :(!Kittyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05378174162151683519noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7154679782170119347.post-62073089278849001452010-11-06T10:52:51.918-03:002010-11-06T10:52:51.918-03:00Hi Susan
I haven't read the book you mentione...Hi Susan<br /><br />I haven't read the book you mentioned but several of my clients have and they have found it very interesting. <br /><br />Another one you might like is The Gabriel Method by Jon Gabriel. It's about our emotional connection to food, but he also talks about food choices, which is what I base my recommendations on. When we eat nutrient dense/rich foods, we don't need large quantities. It's all about nutrient value. I think the obesity epidemic we're facing in this country/continent is because of all the nutrient void food that's so readily available which is being promoted as healthy. <br /><br />All the low fat this and that are simply foods that have been processed even further with more additives to make it taste good. We'd be better off with real butter and full fat yogurt in small quantities, for example. Again, it's all about meeting our nutritional needs. When we're deficient in just one nutrient, the body cannot be in balance.<br /><br />All the best Susan. I hope you're in where it's cozy and dry. Thank goodness the wind has died down. :-)Penny Ormsbeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12359764741810931642noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7154679782170119347.post-72656169088686281372010-11-06T04:44:49.019-03:002010-11-06T04:44:49.019-03:00Wow - that's an inspiring diet plan.

I always thought it would be super hard. I am in no way giving up sugar - but the really bad refined oohy gooey sweets, candy and such I will try to reserve for special occasions and try and limit to small portions. <br /><br />Bread, I haven't really thought much about ... but sugar is always on my mind.Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00260575133577123845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7154679782170119347.post-77311615447197059412010-11-05T20:19:18.298-03:002010-11-05T20:19:18.298-03:00Susan you are too funny here:

I did visit your website and I would love to come in next time I'm in "the city", meet you and be tested. <br /><br />I really am amazed that it hasn't felt so much like the huge challenge that I was expecting. And I have felt much less cravings then normal although I also know that so much of my "craving" comfort (sugars & carbs) is definitely emotionally based not physically.<br /><br />Have you read Women, Food & God ???<br />It's an amazing, often very funny, book ! and I like Geneen began medicating myself with food at a very young age.<br /><br />thanks again and yes I am only human - I must remember that ;-)Susanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00260575133577123845noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7154679782170119347.post-30394697131629415142010-11-05T08:35:55.854-03:002010-11-05T08:35:55.854-03:00Susan - as a Registered Holistic Nutritional Consu...Susan - as a Registered Holistic Nutritional Consultant - I know that dairy and wheat are the most allergic foods. I use the BioMeridian system to test for food and environmental sensitivities and am seeing more and more gluten sensitivity. It seems wheat varieties are being combined to produce heartier crops making them higher in gluten and harder to digest. Gluten can cause damage to the small intestine interfering with digestion, absorption of nutrients, and creating lots of inflammation that can make us feel tired, brain foggy, depressed, achy, bloated, gasy.... and the list goes on. Most people feel so much better when dairy and gluten are removed from the diet. <br /><br />You should come in sometime for testing. It's pretty interesting. www.pennyormsbee.ca<br /><br />All the best with your cleanse. And by the way - falling off the wagon is par for the course. We're only human.
