:-(( All this stuff - What happens when... is really nice. I know it.
The problem is:
I've been trying to cut sugar (forget eliminate) out of my diet for YEARS. 2 days into not having sugar and I go into such severe cravings that I knock off a sweetened glass of milk (with all its consequences - I'm lactose intolerant).
HELP!!!
Please can people here tell me HOW do I handle the cravings (and don't tell me "grin and bear it" - at its height, I'm just about ready to kill someone :-( and from there on, it's just a matter of time before I lapse).
Any/all inputs that will help me get through the craving are very welcome.
Obviously, you will have to try things out for yourself, but have you tried getting rid of sugar with absolutely no attempt to limit caloric intake? I can't say it will be a perfect solution, but it did work for me when I first started eating very low carb, which was over a decade ago. Once you're used to not eating sugar, it does become easier to start cutting calories. I didn't worry about it for at least a few months.
