Yes Willpower can do alot, but the cravings will still be there and give you some bad days!!!! Some personal hell as I can explain to you if you wish? From bread, beer or whatever, all containing sugar which gave me bad days before beyond belief, the will is strong but without power you are useless. Power yourself to quit with minerals and nutrients and you have a good shot, otherwise it's VERY HARD!!!! It is about balance and options, which I learned in life early on. It is not useless trying to stop bad things, but you need the power to do so, which is your body and feed it the RIGHT THINGS to fight and stop it! Peace.


I do agree here. I need transitional foods. I've even read health lit authors who say this is necessary and even healthier to do that way with some graduation or you can get to sick. Kind of like chelating too fast.

In winter I think we crave carbs more due to lack of daylight. I noticed up in AK that I needed more and then started taking 5-HTP to try to stabilize and it helped. Wish it were simpler.
