Carb addict!

Hi-

I decided to post because even though I don't always like it, the vets here always tell me what I need to hear.  I am craving carbs like crazy.  It usually happens during my period but this time it is lingering on and on....  I am starting to feel like I did before surgery.  Is there a trick to get me to stop wanting this stuff?  If i eat zero carbs for a week will the cravings go away?  any ideas would be appreciated.

Thanks.

You posted the question and the answer.  The cravings will stop or at least be much more manageable if you detox yourself completely.

Protein-loading definitely helps get the cravings back under control.  I'm kinda due for this phase again myself.  The trick is getting stuff that is ready to eat.  Carb munchies are "grab-and-go" so you want to make your protein the same.  Get cheese and meat and cut it in bite-sizes, make ricotta fluff, sf custard, things that are sweet but not sugar-laden.  You can do this!

Thanks!
