Hi Nicole

You don't mention whether you have managed to keep any steps in place or whether you have just gone back to your previous way of eating. Although I have gone back to sugar in the past three years since detox, due to problems I didn't know I had, I never went completely back onto just sugar, there were usually 5 of the steps in place.

If you are still managing to keep some of the steps in, then just continue where you are a while longer, and if you have stopped the steps altogether, I would go back to the lowest step that you felt was automatic to you, as this is how far your brain chemistry will have caught up, I think.

I never stayed on sugar for long at any point after detox, as I felt far better off sugar and the non sugar way of eating just seemed to lead me back all on it's own.

Hope that helps

Love

Jane
