Cravings for sugar or starchy foods can set you on a physical and emotional rollercoaster.

But here's the good news: it's probably not your lack of willpower. Quite likely it's food intolerance.

So stop beating yourself up - and learn what to do next.

Sugar cravings and chronic fatigue are common signs of food intolerance. It's a phenomenon where you gain more weight than seems possible from the calories eaten. That's because food intolerance can mess with your thyroid gland, interfering with your metabolism.

But it's quite easy to fix – no pills or potions - just a simple purpose-designed journal and some moral support - with the Healing Program . . . Watch video all about it.

Andy - the confirmed skeptic

"Dear Foodintol - First of all I'm a confirmed skeptic - ask anyone who knows me. Second - my wife would laugh herself silly if she knew I was emailing you. But this really is something else - I'm feeling GRReat!

She told me months ago I could be reacting to sugar (like fructose). But I'm a regular guy . . . . Me - my body? Sugar-sensitive? No way. I can eat anything - as much as I like.

But how to explain the cravings? Highs and lows? And headaches? And then wrecked energy-drained senseless day. I felt bloated all day and I won't even mention what was happening in the bathroom. Truth is - I got so I was ready to try anything, even leaving out the candy bar snax.

And I guess 28 is no teenager. So my wife got me this Healing Program thing (Detection diet info you guys run in Australia). Turns out it was Fructose, of all things! And after doing it around 4 weeks now she says I'm a nicer guy. (That, on top of my old energy in the cot - she's forgotten how nice I can REALLY be.)

'The cravings were getting out of hand . . '
Can't believe it myself, but here I am tapping out an email to Jemma. Good old Jemma who's answered so many of my stupid questions about fruit juice and beer and Xylotol and cookies, energy bars and the like. God bless you Jemma! (Never thought I'd say that either.)

I admit it, the cravings were getting a little out of hand. And man, I was SO TIRED. Got so I didn't work out at the gym for seven months. And I know the boss noticed, he was starting to crack wise how he was disturbing my sleep.

Yep! My wife really is something. For finding you guys. We still have 8 months to go on the membership - so I get to ask more dumb questions.

For me it's been, well - (!#@?!). . awesome. But get this - she says it's only a few bucks a week to be members. At that rate you guys aren't charging enough!" Andy McF, IL USA - Skeptic
