It will last for about 10 days and then the feeling is gone for good Just 10 days. You can do it

i have just watch this and am a bit blown away by it!!! i never knew how bad fructose was for you and it now makes perfect sense to me why, before SW, i was never satisfided and was alway hungry. Now i have cut out processed food and fizz drinks i am no longer always hungry and lethargic.

Thanks for posting, minimesally.

I must point out that this clip lasts over an hour, so make time to watch it.

Robert Lustig, Professor of Paediatrics, (and the man giving the talk), is involved in the UCSF Watch Clinic Lifestyle Intervention Programme for obese teens.

This is what he recommends his patients (and family) do to improve their health:-

Get rid of all sugared liquids - water or milk only.

Eat your carbohydrate with fibre (fibre is an essential nutriant).

Wait 20 minutes for second portions.

Buy your 'screen time' (TV, computor etc) minute for minute with physical activity.

The talk is pretty technical, and I will watch it again, but it does make very interesting points, political as well as dietary and medically.

It feels weird because sometimes I'm willing myself to feel something toward what I'm looking at, but I feel nothing. Before January it was all about the sensation of feeling full and how good everything tasted. Now I have to watch the clock to make sure I eat and I only eat what my body needs.

May be someone should do research into some of the foods and find out if there are any chemicals in them that make us want to keep going back for more beyond blood sugar levels and all that. I know for a fact that I will never be fat again. I'm cured and its the only time in my life I've ever been able to say that with 100% confidence and mean it.

Ditch the sugar.

There's definitely evidence that milk products that have addictive chemical substances similar to how people get addicted to hard drugs. I believe most cravings come from mineral deficiencies. What I think is amazing is that some people just keep eating food, but others develop pica (eating dirt, clay, chalk ect)
