I did NOT want to believe it was true when I read it in the Carb Addicts Healthy Heart Program book!!!! I took their "4-day Challenge" and gave them up, first limiting them to just WITH meals, then going four days without altogether. Guess what? I started losing again.... so for ME, it is true.

What they said about anxiety at the thought of giving them up, meaning your body is responding to them, and you're basically addicted like sugar rang true for me, but it took a GIGANTIC leap of faith to cut them out. I'm glad I did.

Now that I'm on CAD, I still have AS, but only with my reward meal, since I've found too much real sugar then gives me trouble.
