All the best Layali. I think the issue of sugar is a big one for me too. After a couple of days without alcohol I have in the past started to consume large volumes of chocolate, I assume to replace the carbs delivered normally by the alcohol. Of course it doesn't really help and the more sugar one takes in I suspect, the more likely one is to relapse.
My partner lost a lot of weight on a version of the Atkins diet and she takes the same view.
