I guess everyone is different on how much fruit they can or cannot eat without creating cravings for sugary items. I still limit my carbohydrate intake to under 100 grams daily, as this has proven to be the best appetite suppressant for me. Within that limit, I eat a lot of vegetables and fruits and some nuts and seeds. We humans are often not very rational. It is rare that we can say to ourselves "That is bad for me so I'll never eat it again even though eating it is pleasurable". I have found for myself that the longer I practice eating in a healthy manner the easier it becomes. I have become habituated to eating well, and I rarely think about eating any other way at this point. HOWEVER, for me, it took years to reach this point. I did not give up on myself, and I don't think anyone else struggling should give up on themselves either. We are all different. Some of us can make drastic changes more readily than others. -----Original Message----- On Behalf Of Jane Sargeant ......
