I know - it's dreadful and feels impossible. People who are carb-sensitive can get into a rut with sugar where they crave it constantly. It's important to realize that constant sugar cravings are generally physiological. It's not an emotional hang-up; it's a physical response to a substance that is literally addictive.

Recognizing this can change ... Read Morehow you view going without sweets for a period of time. If you understand that a period of cold-turkey from sugar will break the addictive cycle, it's much easier to do it - especially after you have the first miraculous experience of having sugar cravings completely go away after a few days off it.

That's really interesting. I have been noticing that I eat quickly a lot of the time. Sometimes it's probably because I'm really hungry (at least partially) but that's not always the reason.

Meat is very good for you. There are some nutrients our bodies need that are only available from meat. It just needs to be meat that bears some resemblance to what we evolved eating - from grassfed animals.

Here's a blog post about that. This is an important topic:
