: Hi Allison and Mosaic,

: I am rereading PNP because I have
: felt quite discouraged by my lack
: of progress. There must be
: something I'm missing so I am back
: into reading the textbook on why
: my body reacts the way it does to
: sugar. In YLD chat there was
: mention of a book study. I think
: that would be a great addition. I
: get so much from reading what
: people say on the community forum
: and groups and I am promising
: myself to utilize them more often
: than I have and to join in
: posting, Felt to shy before but
: feel it is time to let go of that

Hello, I have put a request in for PnP and it most likely will arrive at my library on Wednesday. So far I have been on a little rollercoaster, initially cutting out sugar altogether, then learning about the Radiant Recovery program. I was so glad to have sugar agin, in dessert, with my meals. After listening to the Connecticut NPR podcast that featured Kathleen and others, I am rethinking refined sugar. Step One breakfasts with all the protein can be fat city! I tried a protein shake with soymilk, protein powder and fruit, and with that a slice of multigrain toast, a smear of butter. Not bad. All the protein, way less fat. Once I start PnP I will post a comment- Allison, you are not alone, I'm a beginner too.
