I loved this article! What a lovely reframing of a treat AND I know it can be hard. I’ve been on a Candida diet (zero sugar and very low carb)for about three months. I tried coming off of it and found very quickly I was starting to crave sugar again. Diet is a funny thing. Thanks for offering a nurturing and healthy alternative.

So what you’re telling me is that I shouldn’t have my daily bowl of ice cream or frozen yogurt? I don’t know if my husband will go for it.
Plus, we have flavored decaf coffee with milk and Sweet&Low. Do I have to give that up too?
Dang!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I’m reading this while having tea. At night after my nice warm shower. So nice.

I want more good rituals. I am thinking a few undesirable ones have slipped in. Hmm. I shall adjust. Thanks…

It reminds me that when I wanted to quit smoking many decades ago, I was unsuccesful until I discovered that I used smoking to take five minute breaks to stand stil and take slow deep breaths while the rest of the time I ran around like a headless chicken. As soon as I gave myself permission to stand still for five minutes through out the day and breath slow deep breaths, I didn’t need the cigarette anymore.

Yes, more good rituals on the way.

On the plane with Elaine – good title for a new song. But I guess I’d have to literally do it and come over again for the song to materialize.
I have been bad I have to admit. I finished the oreo (yes I know they are bad) but then some other cookies mysteriously materialized in the cupboard and we ran out of apples.
The worst enemy of habits are excuses
I need to read Jillian’s book. Or have something extreme happen to me. Like wanting a baby in order to stop smoking
Hope you are not on a low after such a high last weekend.
Take good care of yourself.

Christine, that fact about carb-eating at night blocking HGH is a missing link I’ve never read before.

An apple and Indian Spice tea is my late snack of choice WHEN I am feeling good and in control. And I’ve read that the cinnamon (in my tea, and on your apple) helps insulin resistance; it prevents your system from being flooded with insulin.

Hi Christine,

I try to eat sweets sparingly to save my pancreas. Yet, I love chocolate chip cookies so it’s hard. I love sauteed brussels sprouts in garlic and olive oil too. Just takes longer to whip up and clean up. Fun article! Giulietta

Thank you for this, Christine, and for the book suggestion. The word ‘ritual’ keeps popping up around me at the moment and in this particlar context offers a real alternative to the chaotic eating which can kick in without it. More helpful than you can imagine. I’m enormously grateful to you.
