well u know us addicts, we always gotta push that edge. this was great info, i didn't realize browns are browns because they are whole grains. and the bit about salt and fat making things so tasty and addictive even if they sound healthy. makes perfect sense, now u've explained it. so i can eat all the colored corn i want minus fat and salt. works for me!

i am not quite to the fun and sensible stage, but getting closer. eating more food really helped a lot with adrenal rushes. i'm sleeping much better and starting to plane out physically and emotionally. and of course have tons more energy now that i have fuel to burn!
