But think of it in a way where it's like it's not an all or nothing because it really is everywhere.
The challenge is when we're shopping, rarely do we purchase the one single cookie.
And so I would say to River, is there a way to change how the cookie comes into your home?
Could you instead, is there a bakery close by?
I prefer to have it up against a meal just because you've had some protein and fiber, hopefully, in the meal to help slow down the absorption of the sugar into the bloodstream.
But I would say have the cookie, be aware of it, enjoy it, and then move on.
So when I'm working with folks, I like to figure out, like, how much sugar are you having?
on a regular basis and in what form is it coming?
Is it a liquid sugar or is it a solid sugar?
And the reason I ask about the liquid, cause like if someone's sitting down and they're having a two liter of a soda, that it's very like, we have a visual and we can say, okay, we're gonna, you know, cut it down by half a glass per day over X amount of days and we can see.
But if it's like, oh, I'm getting a sleeve of cookies or I'm getting cake, then we're going to have to start about, OK, what are your sugar interactions that you're having over the course of the day?
Is it possible that we could reduce it to two sugar interactions from three?
