Every week, introduce a new healthy food. Over time they will come to love the healthy foods. Reward your children for eating all of their vegetables and fruits, and eliminate the unhealthy foods from your household. Raise your healthy children into healthy adults. Stop childhood obesity.

My preference is cold turkey - it still takes constant vigilance that the old habits to reach for sweet or what ever the craving. The cravings or addictions are definitely powerful -- have to shore up your defences ahead of time. I found having foods handy that keep my blood sugar level help a lot. That way the body isn't fighting for more sweets or surges in blood sugar, and it's more just the brain and habit to overcome. Week 66 so far for me - and I don't crave sweets at all.

However, I do not believe that all food is addictive. As long as I eat whole, healthy, unprocessed, non-additive containing food that is free of addictive ingredients (sugar, flour, unhealthy fats, dairy, excess sodium), I feel great, eat only when hungry, and do not binge (eating beyond the level of comfortability). I did used to think though, that I couldn't deal with my food addiction, because I had to eat to live. It wasn't until I got off of the addictive ingredients that I was free of physical cravings for food. I still have emotional cravings sometimes, but I jot those down in my journal and they pass; they are nothing like physical cravings. ;) All the best, JoLynn Hi Kathryn,
