Hi Allison,

Thank you so much for replying to my post so quickly : )

I have only recently read the PNP Book and the Sugar Addict's Guide book.

3 months ago, before I read these books, I cut out all sugars (inc. natural sugar in fruits) and simple carbs (wheat, rice etc.).

I'm got over my sugar addiction with some bumps along the way... no doubt would have been easier if I had followed the program.

I recently tried a potato every night for week, and felt really great in the morning for a change... also my moods were very stable... the books explain why very well... now I'm sold on the idea !

But... here I am in the middle of things, having done most of what the program calls for (inc. vitamins and eating breakfasts, 4-5 hrs. betw. meals), so I'm a bit of an odd case.

I'm going to reread both books and try to find where I can improve things... happy to hear any of your suggestions.

Just to clarify...

In regards to the timing of eating potato in the evening:
Does your advice mean that even if one ate an early supper, you should always eat the potato at around 3 hours after supper ? (I go to bed around midnight every night now)

I can eat my supper and finish around 7 pm;
eat my potato around 10 pm;
perform my Oil Pulling Therapy & Waterpik routine around 11:30 pm...
and this won't negate or disrupt the benefits of my potato-eating, correct ?

What had me wondering about the timing before bed/sleep was thinking the amount of time before I went to bed was also a very important part of the plan... and I'm understanding now that isn't the case, correct?

thanks for reading my very-wordy explanation... much appreciated !

: Hi Cael
: Actually, the timing of the potato is
: based on when you ate dinner, not
: when you go to bed. For maximum
: effectiveness, the potato should
: be 3 hours after dinner.

: But, before you start with the
: potato, how are your other steps
: going? How long have you been
: doing the program? How is
: breakfast? For the potato to work,
: step 3 has to be really steady and
: solid.
