Kristy McCammon, founder of Life Unbinged, shares her journey of quitting sugar and processed foods to lose 100 pounds in 10 months. She struggled with sugar addiction and used food as a coping mechanism for emotions. By following a food boundaries addiction model, she replaced sugar, flour, and processed foods with protein, vegetables, fruit, fat, and grain. She planned her meals, worked on her emotions and anxiety, and developed strategies to work through temptations. She now has three nourishing meals daily, feels better physically and mentally, and is free from the constant preoccupation with food and her weight.
