A concrete example, like <a href="http://www.gauravonomics.com/offconsumption/my-insatiable-craving-for-mcdonalds-paneer-salsa-wrap/" rel="nofollow">my craving for McDonald's Paneer Salsa Wrap</a>, also helps people to understand the scope of the experiment.

"Going off consumption" is an exercise in self discipline too. And I've heard that self discipline is more important than IQ for long term success. All the best. Now I'm thinking of being off "sweets" for an year. Sweets is a weakness and I'll look for motivation to be off sweets on yr blog.
