This book sounds really interesting...

This is really interesting Kelly, when I was trying to loose weight I also read that it is easier & faster for our bodies to process fat then sugar cause sugar has to turn to fat for the body to process.

Where did you read that?! That is completely false lol! I haven't got time to post now, i've got kids running around my feet but i'll be back soon

Also check out "potatoes not prozac" - fantastic book which explores the relationship between sugar/mood/weight and addiction.

Sugar acts on the body like a drug, it works on exactly the same receptors as opiods in the brain.

But try cutting it out and its almost impossible unless you go raw - i tried this a few years ago and sugar is in virtually everything on your supermarket shelf. And what happens is you accidentally consume some, even a tiny amount and it sets off huge cravings for more.
