Before you start blaming yourself for eating Valentine chocolate...

Chaotic around food since Valentine's Day?


If you are feeling a bit out of sorts around abundant chocolate sources, you are not alone. And, it is not your fault.


Not. Your. Fault.


Guilty party: new year's resolution diets. The National Dieting Month promotes weeks of deprivation. This experience sets us up to feel uncomfortable and obsessed with banned food. It is our physiology. When our body is deprived of certain nutrients especially calories it will be obsessed with foods. Especially yummy quick acting fun food. Especially chocolate.


Need help believing this? Check out the research.

Want to stop the chaos? Stop dieting. Stop fighting. Call a truce.
