My...Thanks so much for your words of encouragement! My issue is nighttime snacking, mostly sweets. I combated this a few years ago by eating a large bowl of fruit at night and then eventually weaning off that. I also only had a smoothie in the am and then didn't even my next meal until 3:30 which probably made me ravenous. I made a yummy wrap though that is challenge approved based off a wrap I had the other day, you might like it. I just mixed equal amounts ketchup and vegan mayo, added a few drops of stevia and some pickle relish. Slathered this on an engine 2 brown rice wrap (fell apart but ate with a fork and knife), added tempeh, sauerkraut, spinach and browned both sides by putting a cast iron and other things on top to press it. Super yummy!<br /><br />Thanks again, hope to do better today!Kathleenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13671369127544068109noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2364183667091630765.post-26179270908358511642014-01-21T21:58:58.161-06:002014-01-21T21:58:58.161-06:00Hey Kathleen!

You can always pick back up and keep on going.:-)<br /><br />Maple syrup is okay, I think. The main thing with sweeteners if that they should be used in moderation and should be as low-glycemic as possible. I've used a small bit of maple on my cleanse.<br /><br />The hardest thing for me is gluten and alcohol. And I've had a couple slip-ups. But it's okay! You're doing great! Keep it up!Biancahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11545245728462853370noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2364183667091630765.post-29723055834910517172014-01-21T20:26:15.370-06:002014-01-21T20:26:15.370-06:00Ugh I am so inspired by you but feel so defeated b...Ugh I am so inspired by you but feel so defeated by my own actions. Am doing the second day of the cleanse and was just having such deep sugar cravings I made chickpea almond peanut butter cookies with a few dark chocolate chips and ate the whole batch, like 6 tbsp of nut butter and 1/4 cup of maple syrup plus I drizzled extra on. Bought Kris Carr's book on kindle but am not sure of the exact perimeters. Is maple syrup okay? I think I should nix the dark chocolate to get these sugar cravings in control but then again I have done other cleanses for 6 weeks and then gone off the deep end....so upset and frustrated, I can't get a handle on this and want to so badly!!!<br /><br />So sorry for your loss:(.Kathleenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13671369127544068109noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2364183667091630765.post-25001122335303176622014-01-21T13:24:49.543-06:002014-01-21T13:24:49.543-06:00Firstly, congrats on getting back down to weight! ...Firstly, congrats on getting back down to weight! Second, I've been on vacation for 3 weeks (I know, "poor me") so I'm trying to catch up on my Feedly backlog, and didn't realize you had broken your foot! As coincidence would have it, I fell down the stairs yesterday and fractured my foot, so I totally feel your pain!Barb@ThatWasVegan?http://www.thatwasvegan.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2364183667091630765.post-65271517614852629682014-01-21T11:35:34.358-06:002014-01-21T11:35:34.358-06:00So sorry to hear about your friend.
