Most of my cravings have gone away and I lost six pounds, which was an added plus I hate to say it, but the truth is before the detox? I was an emotional eater. I’d sit at my desk and work such long hours that I let myself have whatever I wanted to get through it (I never left the office before 7 pm). I craved carbs, sugar, and at least two to three diet sodas each day. More than anything, I wanted to be able to reach for different choices at work, and I really wished I wasn’t so run by my cravings. Weekdays after 3 pm were the worst for me. I nearly gave up multiple times. But the things I learned from Dr. Mariza about Peppermint Essential Oil helped me manage temptation. Now I always have some at my desk. Most of my cravings have gone away (thankfully,) especially the mid-afternoon chocolate and sweet-tooth cravings. I lost six pounds, which was an added plus. The detox gave me a new perspective on how to eat and conquer cravings without feeling deprived.
