Thanks for the advice. I don't eat at McDonalds 4x a week - more like once a week - but would prefer it to be once a month (as a "break") - so this is good advice. I could use the slow plan for cleaning and reducing desserts after dinner though
.
It seems like the key is to make the "rule" to be healthy and neat, but if it goes off track, not to give up on the plan entirely. Instead - consider it a small departure, and go back. To be honest - is pretty hard to go back to that plan after it has been tainted by a "slip" into the old ways... but transformation doesn't happen overnight I suppose.
I have seen the "Sugar Busters" book around - but now I want to buy it. My cravings are for both sugar and carbs and I have diabetes in my family. So - maybe my cravings have a different root than simply lack of self-control.
