Jeffrey, I can't answer this from personal experience, since I quit sugar cold turkey on another plan (not something I recommend), but it sounds to me like maybe you were restricting sugar, and then binging. And now you are eating a more every day, plus you are building up serotonin, and you are finding you can stop the binge. That sounds like a step in the right direction - steady sugar instead of a sudden huge amount, and starting to be able to say no. Steady is always better than a sudden big spike. As your serotonin builds up more and you do step 5, I would bet your sugar will slowly decrease.

: A nice thing is that I have not had a
