Hi all, I'm Sandy Kumskov, in the Brisbane Valley, Qld. I'm a holistic counsellor specialising in body image issues, and have a long-standing interest in the impact of sugar on our emotional health. I'm running a new year teleseminar challenge for my clients on being sugar free for 30 days, and as part of my research I finally read the book my friend Lucinda had loaned me, of course Sweet Poison :) Well I'd not read it because I thought I knew everything about sugar :)

Couldn't have been more wrong, and yesterday I bought the Quit Plan.

Like everyone else, I'm astounded and then not at all surprised that we don't know this stuff! I constantly research the messages and methods we're fed about health and weight loss, and hadn't come across much about fructose. But reading this made a whole bunch of puzzle pieces fall into place - and I'm finding all the painful work on emotional eating (of which I'm not a big fan anyway) just falls away... So I'm pleased to be here, and looking forward to joining in the discussions about one of my favourite subjects :)
