QUESTIONS & ANSWERS

DO YOU HAVE ANY TIPS FOR GIVING UP SUGAR AND FLOUR?

My advice for beginners is to take it one meal at a time. Change is HARD! We can be so harsh on ourselves when we make mistakes, but rewiring your brain is not an easy feat. Forgive yourself when you make mistakes. Move on. Also, change your inner dialogue. Speak to yourself like you would speak to a good friend. You can do this. Our greatest obstacle is oftentimes within us.
