digest, led me to see how it felt for me – I felt tired and lethargic after eating it and clogged up for days afterwards. I started to eat less and less of it and felt better and better. Refined sugar and any food with sugar in it made me wired and crazy for about an hour, then moody thereafter leading to a total obsession with eating more, working out when I was going to eat more and then never being able to stop at the one piece when I did eat it. Unless I finished the whole packet or felt sick, there was no stopping me where sugar was concerned. This is interesting in itself, as the common belief is that the person is lacking in willpower, self-control or determination if they can’t stop at one serving.

I was so ecstatic to learn what I learned; I wanted to tell everyone about it. However I discovered two things, not everyone is at the stage in their journey where they are ready to listen or change, and sometimes I came across like the food police,“You shouldn’t be eating that, do you know what that will do to you?” Just a pain to be around! That’s not how people learn anyway and it’s not how I wanted to be. The second thing I discovered was that we are all so individual that what worked for me, may not work at all for someone else. There is no absolute right when it comes to weight loss and how our bodies work. There is no one size fits all. That’s what led me to write my book.
