I have often said that I have just one pet peeve in life: the word “carbs.” That word irks me because it conflates sugar and flour with apples and carrots, resulting in people (lots and lots of people) who are literally afraid to eat an apple. But I ... more

I’m so thankful I found Susan and Bright Line Eating. I read her book, and I’ve been listening to her podcasts almost every time I get in the car. I realize I’m not alone with a guilty secret, caused by poor character and weakness. At 55, I can’t explain how huge this is. I’ve been able to stop sugars and flours and remain abstinent for 82 days. I’ve been through an international trip, five family birthdays, Halloween and Thanksgiving, and stayed effortlessly abstinent. 10lbs are gone without hu... more
Susan is a wealth of information about the brain science and eating habits. I find her topics to be so fascinating and informative. I really appreciate that she is not judgmental about the eating habits or lifestyles of her listeners. She has a very empathetic personality and it is so needed with the kinds of topics she addresses. Thank you for making this podcast and adding to my week in a positive way!
Love love Love SPT. Her work is amazing. The science fascinating and helpful. The plan tried and true.
Bright Line Eating works! I was a member of a 12-step fellowship with a similar approach to treating food addiction, but BLE gave me the self-authority and scientific understanding to make the food plan and program tools a sustainable way of life.
So excited! The best! Thank you
