A truly amazing thing has happened! I was feeling a bit down in the dumps so employed my usual rememdy ( eating) and bought some liquorice allsorts. Now usually I can consume these quite freely and will do so until the pack is finished! However after about 4 of them I got a really sicky sweet taste that I didn't really like and went in search of a healthier option- dried apples and nuts!!! Am I cured?????????

Yeah licorice allsorts are a bit icky. I always pull the licorice off and eat it then toss the rest. I went on the Pritikin diet years ago and stuck to it for about 6 months (well I cheated with the coffee but that's all). In the end even orange juice tasted sickly sweet. Takes ages to lose that need for sweet stuff but doesn't take much to get it back.

How did you find the pritikin program? We went on it about 20 years ago for several years ( Moderately strictly) I found it quite easy except for when we went out!

Well except for the coffee I didn't have any problems. The smell of bacon could undo me too.

If I stuck rigidly to my diet plan now it then I could say it really isn't that different to the pritikin program.
