Dear Brooke,

Thank you for your work! I cut sugar & flour in January/February and lost 30 pounds by June. I’ve kept it off pretty effortlessly because I stay on protocol, don’t snack, and I’ve mostly stopped overeating. When I do overeat, it’s on raisins & whole raw almonds, which I sometimes have as a way to round out a meal if I still feel a little hungry after whatever I measured out. But, I’m starting to think this may sometimes be an excuse I’m letting myself use–and it’s turning into dessert. At one point, I just kept these out of the house, but that felt like avoiding rather than actually dealing with the issue, staying conscious, etc. So, I feel like consciousness is the answer, but I keep letting myself go unconscious with this particular food. Pre-portioned raisin boxes definitely help, but again, that feels like more of a cop out on the thought work. Any suggestions?
