I want to know how you're feeling and how you're functioning today. But first, a message I want you to sit with. Here's what I want you to notice. In FAST40, we remove sugar. We remove bread, cereal, rice, and pasta, because those things turn into sugar, and many of them have sugar in them already. But watch what happens next. When people remove those things, they almost always replace them with something else. Maybe an apple. Maybe something else that seems totally positive. And replacing it with something better isn't wrong, but it's easy to miss the point. Here's the part most people never realize: Every search for feeling good is wrapped around the avoidance of feeling bad. So the real question isn't "what should I eat instead?" It's: 👉 Where am I still searching to feel good? Your brain won't even show you this at first. It happens too fast. When you do spot it, sit in it. 🪑 Get curious. That discomfort isn't a problem. It's a flag. A notification. It's your body waving at you saying: hey, look here, this is the thing. I've watched myself and many patients do this. Feel bad, then go do something else. Even exercise. And you might ask, isn't that healthy? Sure. But the bad feeling is still sitting there, untouched. So you didn't just quit sugar. You turned the volume down on the noise so you could finally hear what's underneath it. And the noise will come up. People ask me all the time: "Doctor, I had this craving, what am I supposed to do?" My answer is always the same: Did you stop and feel your body? 🫀 Sometimes what you're calling a craving is just hunger. The brain jumps fast, and we jump with it. Sometimes there's a painful feeling underneath. But you won't know which one it is until you stop and feel. Some people use work to avoid feelings. That was me, for about 40 years. There is guidance and intuition inside the bad feelings. They're not there to scare you or cause problems. They're there to wake you up. Your practice for today: 🔸 Notice when you're reaching for something to feel better

I just love how I am learning, the more food I eat and the less exercise I do, the more weight I loose! It is literally what @Cody Golman has been saying all along. It took me a while to trust this process but it’s clearly proven and clearly works!
