That's reassuring to hear..because right now I feel like the sugar highs have messed up my brain, emotions and appetite so much, I have no idea what it is like to even eat with real hunger. I'm a little shame to admit it...but about 70% of my eating is still very emotional. Like physical hunger I read in a book, is eating anything that will nourish you and make that hunger satiated...but emotional hunger is 'I want the cookie NOW!' lol..and not even paying attention really to the hunger cues you have.

Again, it quells that anxiety for me..that i DON"T have to necessary be hungry to eat, that I can eat at these structured times through RR and I just need to have the trust that it will work out. Is that what you felt was needed initially...to have this trust and faith, kind of like radical behaviour and not over-analyzing too much? I tend to over-analyze EVERYTHING lol!

Kiki,

: One of the programs that I did before
: RR focused on not eating until
: hungry, but I couldn't sustain
: that way of eating. When I found
: out, through this program, about
: steady blood sugar, it made sense.
: I am much more calm and peaceful
: eating this way. For me, when I
: feel hunger, I'm usually falling
: off the cliff...having my blood
: sugar crash. It is much better for
: me if I eat at set times and eat
: set amounts.

: Sometimes I don't have much of an
: appetite, especially if I am
: stressed. If I go ahead and
: eat...again at set times and set
: amounts, it really does help.

: Allison gave a great explanation
: about craving fat when we reduce
: sugar. Did you see that post?
