[quote=Anonymous]Maybe she will have a growth spurt? I really don't think there is much to be concerned about unless she is gaining a lot of weight rapidly. Denying all sugar would be a mistake and cause a power struggle, but what I might suggest is no sugary cereal in the house at all. This spikes insulin and blood sugar early in the day and keeps spiking the craving for it all day long. Hence, what you call "sugar cookie binge." Maybe try eggs and bacon for breakfast, so she will not crave so much sugar. It could be a phase too that she will outgrow. Or is there some emotional issue going on if this is out of ordinary? But, you write that she was a bread/carb lover forever, so maybe just make sure that cookies are an evening treat, hence not spiking her sugar all day long, and presumably she will sleep at night so not eat too much sugar?[/quote]
