This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

The thing with modern food is that we're addicted to sugar (all processed crap has lots, plymus sodas etc.). It's literally a drug and so bad for us the body tried to use it up ASAP (storing any fat in the meantime) when we eat it.

When you eat too much sugar the body will use only sugar to function, and not eating sugar feels instantly like withdrawal/hunger.

So you can quit that crap cold turkey (you need to let go of slow sugars too like pasta, rice, potatoes etc at least until you get over it/found your comfort weight).

It is hard but it is definitely easier than alcohol or cigarette addiction, at least IMO ๐Ÿคท๐Ÿผโ€โ™€๏ธ
