Excerpt from Potatoes not Prozac
Remember that developing a plan to address your sugar sensitivity isn't about going on a diet-it's about being in relationship with your food and your body. This means that you will have to learn to read your body, to hear what it is telling you. If you have been feeling "crazy" for a long time, it may seem hard to know what being healthy and balanced feels like. If so, turn to the charts in Chapter 3 and read over the words that describe what an optimal level of health feels like. Words like "energy," "focus," "stability" and "joy will help you remember or imagine what is in store for you as you progress. As you read the next chapters, you will learn what and when to eat to help reach your goals. You will learn what you like, what triggers you, what makes you feel good, what makes you feel crazy, and what makes you feel clear. This is a life plan rather than a diet. You won't get black and white but guidelines and support to make the right choices.
