I have followed my plan 100% and recently (like the last day or two) I am craving sweets. Any suggestions to tame this beast? Honestly, this scares me!

Have you been eating more carbs lately? I know you've said that you're 100% on plan, but carb/sweets cravings are typically triggered by carbs... even "good" carbs. When I feel like I'm starting to grit my teeth with cravings, I go drink as much water as I can so that I feel "full" for a bit while it passes. Cravings completely FREAK. ME. OUT. It feels like if I give in too much, I'll completely regress to my pre op ways. I feel you on the fear!!

I haven't gone over 25 carbs per day, ever. Today, I have had 6. I did have black beans on Thursday, so maybe that's it!

Sometimes you need magnesium when you crave sweets? Are you taking all your vitamins? Maybe eat some cheese??

I haven't been able to tolerate vitamins... My dr. Is aware and I try periodically to add them to my routine...

What about a protein bar, I hear that some can be microwaved and are like a warm cookie, also I've seen good low carb cheese cake recipes out there, these ideas aren't as good as just getting through it with will power  but to me they are better than caving and eating real cookies. We had surgery about the same time, I haven't craved sweets yet but I bet my time is coming . JILLIAN

Think my issue was my monthly cycle... Feel normal again AND I didn't give in to cravings! Proud.
