Hi Sherri,

I would like to offer an alternative idea. What you are describing is one of those tricks magazine articles sugar for dealing with
*cravings*. While it works in the short term, it really does not address what we are trying to do - which is HEAL your brain. If you do the steps
as they are written, you will not have cravings. This means that on steps one and two, you really are not doing anything about the sugar except to learn more about when and how you have it. Over the course of step three, you move your sugar to meal time which settles your brain and
quiets cravings. Sugar becomes more like functional medicine. You have a dose, you take your medicine and things quiet down.

then you add things in. You get settled with the vitamins, you have the potato, you switch to whole grains and you stop thinking about sugar.
And then when you are ready, you stop having the sugar. And you don't have cravings, it is a non-event.

Right now, every time you have one of those little blueberries you are thinking about the sugar you are not having. So it activates the sugar neurons: h4)
This is not meant as a criticism, it is meant to invite you to simply work on the steps. use sugar till you are ready not to. Take the charge off and find freedom.

Warmly,

Kathleen
