Of course, I am gradually switching to a healthy diet, not buying any poison in the store at the level of all sorts of tasty things or beer, etc. Any advice on what food is worth buying and what is better to avoid? I just want to feel, so to speak, in good shape because I am tired of being a sluggish zombie.

I don't really trust AI so I wanted to ask you. You can also recommend something else if you want.

Is it possible to never go to a fast food chain?

We have the physical addiction to glucose, but you have overcome that before

We have the habitual triggers, something in your life makes you think of your old addiction, those you have to find a way to get past, maybe the snacking

We have the situational triggers, seeing a place, going past a place, triggers old addictive cravings, this is where having a buddy you can call and talk it out can be helpful.

If you are willing to wear a CGM all the time, you can have a buddy monitoring it and get alerts if it goes outside of a predefined range (say 6.5) so your buddy can help you deal with the recovery

When you fall off the wagon before, you mentioned fast food, but what is different the month before falling off and the day you fall off?

i've spent so much time trying to mitigate the impact of the fast food cravings that it never occurred to me analyze other triggers and i had a "no duh" moment when i read this because i learned by accident the last time i went on the wagon that tv advertisements were a trigger that made me crave that double whopper. lol
