Where did you get the elderberries?<br /><br />Definitely feeling the cravings decline as I consume less sugar, but the more I cave in- eat a date and a paleo ginger snap and have a pomegranite special (1 cup of TJ's organice pom juice is 35 carbs, almost all sugar) it makes the process longer.wombathttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15661955671671007342noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9164633206451235578.post-48760726622885065942011-11-15T18:40:16.396-08:002011-11-15T18:40:16.396-08:00Ha, yeah dates are SERIOUSLY like candy.

If youre interested, it wouldnt hurt to try it with colds too (elderberry apparently has specific action against influenza viruses but it also has a cytokine-mitigating effect which might help with cold symptoms)<br /><br />Also I think its pretty normal to be craving sugar a lot at the start. I was going through TONS of fruit my first month.
