Charles Duhigg's book on habits says that old habit pathways don't go away, so if you repeat a behavior even after years of not doing it, then your brain quickly reopens the old pathway. Bummer!

I found that as I got in the "change" years everything escalated, all sugar and starch cravings got worse, ones I never had started, like ice cream. Not everyone faces this, but it is definitely an...

Remember all sugars and all starches are sugars in the blood stream.

They are on Amazon at a decent price.

@Siobhan: Right there with you sister!

All sugar is tricky since starches and high sugar fruits are also sugar in the body, and can be the cause of a cheats. Perhaps you don't need to go strictly off all sugars, and can find a way to have...

@kinglee1984: Addicts know the road to bingeing is paved with "I'll just have this one" which turns into several days of over indulgence. I like to plan for indulgences that are safe, and satisfying,...

@forgotmylastusername: No denying the impact of restricting or eliminating a food, which can make it seem more desirable. Of course not everyone needs to, anymore than all people need to stop...

@gadsie: That's actually quite a lot of sugar along with whatever else you might be eating. For me it would be a very definite sugar binge. Most of the bananas in my market are the large 8" or longer...

It doesn't seem to take much for a switch from one kind of abuse to another. Like alcoholics who often will start eating terribly sweet foods when they give up the drink.

Welcome Derpamix! You are among friends.

I found my sugar cravings got progressively worse as I headed to the big CHANGE, and the struggle has been truly a person battle. MDA was a huge help, since getting off the junk makes all the...

GOTD: So beautiful outside, and I'm stuff at this computer!

A dear friend went very low carb, gluten free and cleared up; he is in his 60s and had crippling issues from psoriasis.

It's all about the continuum; some can eat that many carbs, but others like me cannot. I would gain tremendous amounts of weight on that many carbs. I'm glad you can handle it. I could have too when...

I'm back! After a break, due to a number of legitimate reasons, I'm back at my blog and checking in to MDA. This latest "pizza is a vegetable" bs has gotten me fired up again. I have to wonder if...
