I confess.
My worse food addiction during the past few years has been the occasional craving for … pizza.
It is true.
I have even believed that I was addicted to this concoction at times, so I tried to avoid it.
The Fukushima business has also made me shy away from cheese, but I have yet to completely remove it from my eating plan.
This past couple of weeks I have reduced my cheese intake to almost none, and I have kept the cheese away from any wheat.
But then today came and I had that craving for a pizza. Actually, the craving first came on Tuesday but I ignored it until today.
When my husband brought home some zucchini and crookneck squash from the farmer's market this afternoon, I knew I had to make something with sauce and cheese right away. I get a craving for the taste of Italy sometimes. I blame it on the Italian blood that my father so graciously provided for me.
There is always a way to Live Well, no matter where you are. There is always a way to make the best choice possible and do the best with what you have in front of you.
The truth is, Living Well just means rearranging a few things, so that you can facilitate digestion and keep your energy levels high and your body eliminating regularly. This happens when your meals are dominated by vegetables.
When dealing with cheese addictions, make sure to eat it with some high water content foods to help move it out of your body easily.
You can still feed your little cravings and keep yourself from bingeing and harming your body with excess food.
Know this important fact: OVEREATING is the cause of more bodily harm than anything. It doesn't matter if you overeat good or bad foods, the overeating and the excess is at the heart of most illness in our day.
Pay attention to those foods that nag you and keep you bloated. Cheese and wheat is the most common bloating combination you can eat.
Maybe you crave another poorly combined dish? Tell me what it is and I will find a solution for you.
The idea is to make all of what you do livable, for life.
Your eating plan must keep you healthy and give you energy, keep you free from bingeing, and completely satisfy your taste buds too. This is the only way you can stick to a new lifestyle longterm.
You also need a coach and I am happy to help you here.
Continual support is KEY so visit often and join all of us who are Living Well!
Dear Rochel the DH has been following the plan partially. He has been trying the two fruits in the morning and following it one hour later with a protein. He is claiming he is getting a headache everyday. I had a few answers for him but we wanted to know if you had an answer for this? He doesnt eat lunch(hasn't caught on to the big salad) or eats whatever like pizza or a sandwich out. He usually then eats either whatever i make for dinner (on plan again). So any suggestions for my DH?
Dr. Berzow, your husband could be experiencing some detox symptoms. I just uploaded the Detox chapter from the plan, so please read that info. Fruit is very cleansing so if he is eating some processed food as well, that could be what is causing this. Have him try some protein with the fruit in the morning to slow the cleansing down.
Please consult your doctor with any medical questions and please consult your doctor before starting any new eating plan.
Sounds good! And I was just going to tell him to get with the program for real already! I think the protein is a good idea as well. We will give it a try and see how he responds.

What you were going to tell him is what I really wanted to say, but since he isn't my husband I will let you handle it.
so here is the scoop. he added just a few slices of cheese to the morning fruit and amazing no headache!
