Are you eating your fruit daily? When I began this practice, one of the first things I noted that was when I ate fruit every day, my sugar cravings virtually vanished. I no longer felt drawn to my chocolate stash on a nightly basis. Because fruits have sugar, they can fulfill even the most severe sugar cravings. Because they also contain antioxidants, micronutrients, vitamins, and minerals they will keep you satisfied much longer than that dark chocolate.
Another thing to watch for this week: because you are drinking enough water, getting protein early in the day and eating your 2-3 pieces of fruit daily you will probably eat less of everything else. Do you have more energy yet?
What I love is that we haven't even begun to "deprive" ourselves of any foods yet. Do you feel deprived? There is something about "adding" things to our diets that changes our outlook.
I encourage you to involve the whole family on this - if applicable. Don't even mention it to your family members, just start serving fruit to them whenever they are hungry. Make it a treat in the way that you approach the situation and they will know it is a treat. After all, it really is a treat!!
