Intro About My Starting Point

Recently, I've been doing a bit of research on Sugar Sensitivity and Addiction.  After going through many articles and books, I came across a book and author that really made an impression on me, it seemed like she was writing all about me.  The book at the library is titled "The Sugar Addicts Total Recovery Program" by Kathleen DesMaisons, PhD.

Books like these I have the need to highlight/mark/make comments in the margins, etc. But this book was out of stock at the bookstore--but I found a very similar one she wrote, her just this year updated version of the 'Potatoes, not Prozac' that she wrote in '98.  So that one came home with me.  

Kathleen goings into detail about how we determine if we ARE sugar sensitive, what the problems one may have with this sensitivy, and then the WHYs of these problems, and then, of course, how to go about making changes that will help us change our eating habits for the better.

This isn't a diet program as a means of loosing weight, rather, a program to help us with work through the symptoms and treat the cause--thus, feeling immensely better and decreasing the sugar urges we have had.

It's a 7 step process and to make it work for us, we're to work the steps, in order, and work EACH step until we're able to do it on a regular basis--which can take a month or more for many people.

Anyway, that's the gist of it that I'm going to be working on. I plan to use this blog for me to focus on the process of this and on starting to exercise again.

If there are any readers here, feel free to join me in this, and/or to make comments, ask questions, etc.  I definitely believe that we all can help each other.  Also feel free to talk about other healthy programs or articles that you've come across.

In the meantime, here's a link to Kathleen's website that has more information:
