Hi Kathy

I think you are asking if anything and everything we do that creates BE then becomes addictive.

The answer when eating sugars is yes, I find. For example, when I am eating sugars or my food is off, the BE raisers I do can seem to be more intense, a walk can give me a massive (artificial) high, but that same walk done when the food is as it should be creates a softer BE raise, which my brain still loves, but there are no fireworks involved and no crazy grin attached to my face for the whole of the walk, just a nice calm, sort of like a sighing feeling, contentment.

It can be worrying I know, thinking that we have to be careful doing anything, but the fact is, when our food is right, we tend to not go overboard and do things obsessively anyway, it just balances our behaviour naturally all on it's own.

Hope that helps

Love

Jane

: Interesting article about misery and

: Because an activity encourages a

: There must be another factor in
