it like alcoholic. i haven't had sugar over a year. that taste of a cookie -- not even a cookie, taste of a cookie, i'm gone. same with your first drink. i'm real serious like that. warms like a charm. >> mike: i can relate to the fact a person with food addiction goes through a detox like an alcoholic would go to. go through several weeks of being completely off the things that trigger, not just appetite, trigger the feelings and all the emotions that come with that. >> the first three weeks going off sugar. i haven't had fast food for over a year, too. that was a little difficult. paled in comparison to sugar. it didn't sleep at all for two or three days at a time. was crabby, headaches that felt like somebody was punching me in the head. just out and out a horrible, horrible time. heart palpitations.
