I remember one time. I was about halfway through a 30-day juice fast and I was jonesing somethin’ awful. I really wanted something to "bite on." I knew I didn’t have any ‘hard’ food in the

Sometimes our kravings can be more than we can bear. Old habits of comfort food have rewired our brains with such force we might just need a “junk food rehab” to kick them.
