I am a sugar addict and have been struggling with cutting down my sugar intake. It's true - you definitely need more and more each time to reach that feeling of being satiated. I haven't read much on L-tyrosine, but would be interested to see if anyone else has and how that has worked for them.

Great job! Like you, when I've stopped eating sugar I stop craving it (after about a week). I feel so much better on this healthier plan. Good luck!

Hi, I'm still getting my chocolate on! Just using raw cacao powder in my protein smoothies, sweetended with either a few pieces of mango or 1/2 a banana--delicious!!!

Lynda H.

I'll have to look into cutting sugar. Checked today and my sugar intake was 27g. But this was a really good food day for me. I'm sure other days it's higher. Thanks for the post. I'll look for the pdf.
