Guest guest Posted July 6, 2000 Report Share Posted July 6, 2000 , It takes about a day to lose the cravings. I switched over to seltzer water to get the bubbles and green tea to get the caffiene. Yes, I used to eat a lot of sweets and carbs. Sometimes I would just be continually hungry and not know why. Very disturbing. Then, through this board, I found out about the carbo addict website. Read up on the issue, followed the advice given, and voila! - no more cravings for pasta, sweets, etc. The nice thing about following this diet is that you can " cheat " every now and then and it has minimal effect. On the forth, I had corn on the cob, hamburgers (wheat buns) and cheesecake. No big deal the next day. The tricky part about going low carb is eliminating " hidden " carbs. I used to dring an energy drink during hot weather. I finally read the label and found out I was consuming about 100 grams of carbos for every quart I drank! Needless to say I no longer comsume that beverage. Bottom line - the ER4YT coupled with low carb intake works. > > > Welcome, Tracie. > > > You're not alone.

Guest guest Posted July 6, 2000 Report Share Posted July 6, 2000 You're welcome . If you get hungry during the day just eat more steak (or some other zero carb food). You can eat as much as you want (no carbs) on this diet plan and still lose weight and have lots of energy. There is a website which lists all the fat/protein/carbohydrate content of just about any food you can imagine.

Guest guest Posted July 6, 2000 Report Share Posted July 6, 2000 Hi , Carbs make you crave carbs. If you can go one day or two without any, you won't crave them any more. Actually, for different people, the period is different. But any carb will cause subsequent cravings for more. Hi protein snacks onhand will help you, like hardboiled egg, pumpkin or sunflower seeds, also vegetable slices, like carrots if you like those. If it's a serious problem, people will cut out fruit as well, using HB vegetables and protein. For me, i had to stop eating ALL carbs. Now i can do fruit, but not too much. Good Luck, Ann in Florida © Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted October 10, 2002 Report Share Posted October 10, 2002 Hi Ann I've been 90% compliant for 4 years. what finally took away the sugar cravings was taking liquid chromium......by E-LITE....10 drops a day....I also doubled the Zinc initially, but now I am convinced it was the chromium.....I just discovered this trick this summer. I do not have ANY sugar cravings as long as I keep near the chromium.... re: weight loss. it can be blocked by other things and not helped by this diet alone.....after losing 80 lbs, putting back on 20 in the first 1.5 years of this diet, I am still 100 lbs over and have been on this plateau for 2 years.... I take glutamine practically every day. jaen Ann's Sugar Cravings Double the protein and increase the fat. Are you taking fish oil? The dose for you would be 15 capsules a day. This helps to keep your insulin levels steady. Pop 5 fish oil caps when you feel hungry. Then, go get yourself some meat and vegetables cooked with plenty of ghee or olive oil. Top veggies with olive, sesame, or high-lignan flax oil before eating. Whole fruit is better than grains or tubers. If this doesn't work, take 5g of L-glutamine when you get the craving. Raw pumpkin seeds and walnuts are another good snack. - On Wedne -- Jaen Treesinger Bengals from the RainForest ........amazingly smart, incredibly fast and just gorgeous!

Guest guest Posted October 10, 2002 Report Share Posted October 10, 2002 Hi Jaen, Good for you - you have really worked at this. Do you exercise? When I wanted to lose weight I found that it was the missing piece. When I did exercise, I lost weight. My weight now is right for me and seems to be quite stable. I walk 30 minutes several times a week and have now added intervals of jogging.....am planning to read tonight and think about an appropriate program for me to follow....step it up. Not for weight loss...I will probably just improve my body comp which is fine with me. The real reason for doing any of this is to feel good.

Guest guest Posted July 12, 2006 Report Share Posted July 12, 2006 Does anyone have any suggestions on how to deal with sugar cravings? The most widely published method of reaching for a healthy snack instead doesn't do anything for me!!! I can't believe how much this has a hold of me. Im not as bad now, but I previously went to extraordinary lengths to get a snack that I knew was bad for me! Thanks, ita Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 13, 2006 Report Share Posted July 13, 2006 ita, Use snacks made from stevia or vegetable glycerine. These sweeteners won't feed candida. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted July 13, 2006 Report Share Posted July 13, 2006 , What does vegetable glycerin taste like? I find that stevia tastes like nutrasweet, and I can't stand it. Thanks, Olif Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
