Re: This was me: finding the steps
In Response To: This was me: finding the steps ()

I read about Potatoes not Prozac in Christianne Northrup's holistic health newsletter. The description in the blurb sounded like me, so on my lunch break I went to a book store and looked at the book. I was skimming it and found the section that listed symptoms of low beta endorphin, and I was reading about myself. I bought the book. I had already started doing some of the steps on the Zone diet, which my massage therapist had recommended to me for blood sugar issues, and after reading PnP I followed it instead. I emailed a question to Kathleen and she referred me over to the forum, and I've been here ever since.

: Hi all,
: I'm always interested in how folks
: find the Radiant Recovery program.
: I suspect there's a lot more
: discovering by googling now than
: when I bought The Sugar Addicts
: Total Recovery Program book right
: after Christmas 2000 :h9)

: I don't remember where or how I heard
: about the book but I knew it was
: the one thing I wanted to buy with
: my Christmas cash. I'd read most
: of the diet books mentioned in
: SARP. I knew I had a problem with
: sugar even though I was always
: thin. So I expected this might be
: one more book about just weight
: loss but there was one tiny
: mention of people of normal weight
: who can be sugar junkies.

: I clung to that. It validated my
: experience.

: Anyway, I read the book, probably not
: very carefully, and came away with
: the idea of eating breakfast with
: protein. So I switched from my all
: carb breakfast (when I ate
: breakfast) to having something
: like a hot dog or cheese
: quesadilla. I didn't eat within an
: hour and it wasn't enough protein
: but I didn't pick up on those
: details, lol.

: I will add that I was totally
: tech-phobic at the time, wouldn't
: go near the computer. I continued
: with being conscious of eating
: protein for breakfast whenever I
: got around to eating breakfast for
: the next year. I also journaled
: for a few days.

: It was a start.

: How did you find the steps?
