Dealing with Sugar Cravings
One of the hardest aspects of living a low/no carb lifestyle is dealing with sugar cravings. I struggle daily with satisfying my desires for something sweet. I see all the commercials for candy, cookies, and fruit and I can feel the cravings wash over me. Some of my favorite television shows are about cake decorating. After a couple of weeks of low carb/no carb eating, the cravings seem to diminish. I guess sugar really is an addiction that we have to get past. Although I would still like to eat a complete pan of warm chocolate chip cookies, I try to find substitutes. Certain diet sodas (my favorite is Diet Sundrop), sugar free jello, heavy whipped cream right out of the can help me to deal with these urges. I've also found that bottled water flavored with sugar free drink mix helps. I try different flavors. My favorite is cranberry apple.
