Guest guest Posted June 6, 2012 Report Share Posted June 6, 2012 So I was listening to this podcast, which is often about the food side of food.. but this episode was about food addictions.. The host interviewed an MD (From Toronto! YAY!) who started off helping drug and alcohol addicts and then noticed and started studying/treating people with food addictions.. http://undergroundwellness.com/the-podcast-about-food-addiction-your-brain-and-o\ ther-stuff/ is the blog post/link to podcast. I had a few AHA! moments.. I used to think my sugar cravings started after having kids.. I got pregnant less than 2 years after quitting smoking.. Dr Vera Tarman also asks the question about life before the addiction.. did you have a " sweet tooth " then? OMG!! YES!! The only time in my life that I didn't care about sugar was when I smoked! I am not thinking of smoking again, but wow did that ever speak to me. I didn't care about cake or icecream. I looooooove icecream now. She talks about the ABCDEs of addiction, the 3 parts of the brain and why your emotions overpower your logic (cravings over willpower).. it's biological! It helps when you know what you're up against.. a mind shift of sorts.. Corinna Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 6, 2012 Report Share Posted June 6, 2012 I recently started getting " off " sugar. 5 days sugar free. Yes there are still sugars in some stuff.. But now soda no candy.. Etc.
