Why is Food the Hardest Addiction to Kick? Part 1: You Can't Just Stop Eating 

Two full years of keeping my Sugar line bright but the other three lines waver big time. I want so badly to play full-out. Rezooming again. 🙃

Yea... how many years have I known that? If I could just abstain it would be so easy. But nope this issue has to be managed. So manage it I will. Thanks Susan. Absolutely! Keep it easy peezy! Plate of vegetables sprinkled w spices, vinegar, lemon juice w protein on top and a bowl of fruit. Oh yes the freedom in fasting. Darn if we could just abstain.

I got so much from this! Just wanted to say thank you. I will be starting November 3rd doing as much research as possible before then. I'm excited this sounds like it will address my needs. If there was a scale from 1-20 I'd still be a 25. I was not surprised at all to see my score was a 10. I want to learn how to get off the eating struggle bus. It's exhausting

Im so glad i found this channel, i appreciate you... I relate to literally every word you said. It's comforting to know one is not alone and to have this extra knowledge on this critical subject. Thank you

Thank you! Great reminder! Looking forward to next two parts.

Thank you for this! I felt very lonely because I don’t use recipes! Real food for me has to look like it does coming out of the ground. I can’t turn it into a veggie burger because a burger is Not My Food. I’m also SOS free as long as my food looks like the real food.

Susan you hit it right on the nose.Or gut( no pun intended).So true that recipes are not necessary in the first 90 days.Weighing and measuring and making sure the food is clean and abstinent is challenging enough.

I don't have a problem with dairy but fruit is part of my sugar bright line and all grains/starchy veg are part of my flour bright line. This is me

Great point about the RECIPE THING!!!! Recipes have ALWAYS been a RECIPE FOR DESASTER for me. I eat plantbased very very very high raw. I ditched all the recipes. I eat mono fruit meals or saldads with 3 ingredients (dressing included) This was the ONLY thing that helped. Recipes definitely are way to stimulating combinations for me. And nuts and nutbutters definitely can not be in my house or my life. So much freeeeeedom after you understand and implement these things

Excellent advice thank you.

I always appreciate your honesty

I saw you just now on Lewis' interview, and I admire you soooo much! The way you can see this thing is bad, and just stop,... I wish I had... I think my problem is I need friends that aren't addicts and that are healthy...but none of those pol want to hang out with me being the most unhealthy I've ever been with addictions feeding an early death. But most ppl (if not all) suck. So I don't know...I am a housewife with all the support, money, time and anything necessary to change my life around, I just need to DO IT, But idk how,.... Any advice for me? Anyone?

It’s letting the lion out of the cage three times a day.

“But with food we have to engage “. Who told you that?

First principles: what is food? What did our ancestors eat? When you define 'food' properly, there is no confusion, only clarity. What did our metabolism, over millions of years of evolution, evolve to consume? Animal products. Fat and protein. The fact that we can digest carbohydrates at all is a holdover from our ape ancestors--admittedly an effective survival method, which is why we didn't get rid of the ability entirely. We are apex predators because we can hunt for 3 seasons, then can pack on weight foraging berries and tubers to survive the lean winters. But we have, through technology, expanded, refined, and distilled the substance originally meant only for 'survival' and turned it into vice, overindulgence, and addiction: refined carbohydrates (which includes, and especially, table sugar). It's like running a car primarily on nitrous--sure it'll "work", but it will rapidly deteriorate the engine.

Nah, I’d rather drink than eat 🤷🏽‍♀️

Cigarettes are not that bad for you . Caffeine 🙄

You can stop eating fattening unhealthy food. You can.
