Re: Diets can be useful - an interesting paradox

[Guest guest]

Thanks Sohni and AJ.

YEs, I had the same experience with a strawberry frosted donut the other day...I

used to crave them like crazy, but when I finally bought some and sat down to

eat it and really tasted it, my body could taste the fake flavoring and articial

ingredients and all of the sugar...and it just wasn't very good. I think you're

both right, if I legalize those " fake " foods, I'm trusting that my body will be

satified after a while and want healthy stuff too.

It's all still a bit scary for me! But everyday is progress!
