    is sugar this potent?!

    i've been on extended induction for about a month.. fairly strict. definately no sugar. this afternoon i made pumpkin cookies with my dad, and i had a couple bites of batter plus half a cookie... and became so nauseous. i felt sick for a couple of hours afterwards. about half an hour ago (its past midnight now) i had ONE BITE of regular chocolate and now i feel disgusting and nauseous again.

    my question is.. am i really that easily affected by sugar now after only a few weeks?

    Yep. It's strange. I can't eat cookies, either. They give me a headache from all the sugar. I also can't drink regular coke anymore, and carbage just doesn't taste the same anymore. It's strange.
    Other people get sick like you do.

      I believe sugar is very potent. Once the sugar is out of your system it doesn't take much to effect some people. Sugar affects me like a sleeping pill. Upset stomach too, but I get so tired I can't keep my eyes open. I used to eat a bowl of ice cream and then fall asleep within just a few minutes. Ugh! I am so happy to be away from sugar!

        I'm sure there was some sort of flour in the cookie too. That is what hurts my tummy. The flour.

          At this piont I do not thank I could even eat sugery foods. More than a teaspoon or 2 of splenda and foods taste to sweet lately. Its strange to taste the sugars in veggies. I swear this WOL has to improve out taste buds, because I can taste subtle favors more now

            I've been on atkins since 9/24/07 and I walked into subway last week and nearly hurled from the smell of baking bread. I wanted it so bad my stomach turned into knots. I was literally on the edge of vomiting just from the smell.

            I am continually amazed at how physical this addiction really is. Not to mention how horribly in need I am of learning that some things are my enemy no matter who else gets to eat them.

              Sugar, to me, is like heroin. I am horribly addicted and out of control on sugar. I was on Atkins from August 2002 to March 2003, and after having one plate of pasta and a glass of wine at my daughter's pre-school fund-raiser auction, I went on a four-plus year binge of sugar and other bad carbs. Four years! I finally reined it back in this last April, after I had gained back all the 60 lbs. I had lost that first time (and then some). Now, I realize that sugar is too strong an addiction with me, and I can't have ANY, EVER! I just don't trust that I can control myself around it, so I avoid it.

                when I was a month or so into LC my family and I went to the zoo. I "figured" since I was walking 200 miles I would eat a small lunch and the pickin's were slim at the zoo. So I had a personal pizza and they bought a banana pudding and I took maybe 2 bites. It didn't take but maybe 10 minutes for me to feel like I was dying, literally. I couldn't even walk I felt light headed and had to keep sitting down. I was so close to passing out. I was amazed what it did to me and it was so obvious it was the food because I was fine right before eating. So yes I've had the same reaction.

                  I made an apple crisp last week for my book group. I mixed the topping with my hands (you are suppose to do that, right?) and then rinsed them. My hands still were sticky and without thinking, I licked them. About a half an hour later I was sooooo hungry. I haven't been hungry for months! I think it was the tiny bit of sugar.
