UPDATE ! I'm having sugar withdrawal! No grapes

[atlantanurse]

I posted here a week or so ago about having sugar withdrawal. Wow coming off the refined stuff is like coming off of a drug! I was all cranky, having trouble sleeping and lethargic. I listened to Roger though and keep eating tons of fruit and also popcorn.

Well...I am happy to report for the first time in life...  I AM NOT HUNGRY ALL THE TIME ANYMORE! This way of eating is amazing. I am so happy to have stuck it out. Thanks to Roger for writing this book and jumping on board right away to help. Thanks also to everyone who answered my post with an encouraging word. Who'd have thunk that eating all the time would make you hungry!

I made my first smoothie tonight with all frozen fruit and a small amount of greek yogurt and stevia. It was heavenly!  It was so good that I felt a little guilty drinking it. Surely something so good should be sinful.  My blender performed poorly so I am going to Kohl's and pick up a Ninja blender.

Anyways I lost a couple of pounds already and I can't wait to see what's in store for me around the corner.

Kind Regards
Teena

Hi Atlantanurse,

Doesn't it feel great to have all that sugar out of your system? You'll be amazed how much more energy you will have too!!

I have the Ninja blender and just love it. You will need to make sure you get enough liquid in it or it will just come out tiny little individual pieces instead of being blended. Learned this from experience.

Good luck in your weight-loss journey and keep us posted on your progress. We're all right here with you and praying for you.

Many blessings,
Ollie

Congratulations Teena,
I gave away a smoothie maker I bought at Sam's last year when I bought a Ninja a couple months ago. I love it. Does a great job of pureeing beans and makes great smoothies too.
