That’s also great that you’re not an emotional eater – not everyone is, however I would challenge the question of “hunger” – the way to lose weight is by eating, eating a lot, and eating often. I eat a TON of food and lose weight, but I’m only eating whole foods, not the processed gunk. It’s normal to be hungry, you’re supposed to be, and then you eat. Diets don’t work and starving yourself only serves to slow or halt your metabolism.

And I’m not sure where you got that anyone is “blaming” overweight individuals and that by recognizing emotional eating for what it is, a habit of using food to cope with life, that this is somehow “blaming” anyone. (?)

I can only surmize that you have not read my other articles and are not aware that I advocate dropping the self-criticizm and loving yourself as you are while you are losing weight. Blame and self-criticizm are not a part of the positive message I provide to my readers at The Fit Shack.

As far as this Sprinkle Diet goes, I encourage you to do your own research on MSG and how it is hidden behind numerous names in the processed food supply, “natural flavor” (an ingredient of this Sprinkle Diet, a.k.a. Sensa) being a very very common one.

Or you can read my most recent post – MSG and Aspartame – Tasty Excitotoxins.

There is absolutely no way I will recommend that any of my readers ingest food products containing MSG but you, just like everyone else, have to make up your own mind.

Oh, and if you don’t read my post I linked to above, then just jump right to the book Excitotoxins by Dr. Russell L. Blaylock and you’ll learn everything you need to know about the neurological dangers and slow degeneration that MSG and all excitotoxins can create.

All the best to you Jane, and again congratulations on your weight loss – that’s a huge accomplishment and something to be very proud of.
