    Do you still crave carbs much?

    Hi

    It has suddenly dawned on me that I am not really craving my old favourites anymore - potatoes, bread, beer etc.! Last time I did Atkins, I constantly missed these foods/drinks - I think I ate too many frankenfoods??

    I am going on holiday next month and honestly think I can stick to the program whilst I'm away. I read that you can switch the maintenance for a week (in DANDR) so you stay in control and hopefully don't put weight on.

    Do you still crave those carbs??

    Re: Do you still crave carbs much?

    I occasionally feel like having something carby. For example, the High Holidays are coming up and I could eat an entire loaf of raisin challah with butter.

    But here's what's interesting. Last week someone talked to me about a Leptin refeed (don't think about it) which involves refeeding on carbs for 24-48 hours to break a stall. I didn't really consider it as a viable option, but I did start to think what carbs I would want to eat if I could do it for one day without any "payback". A nd you know what? I couldn't think of anything! Seriously!

    Nowadays, when I want comfort food or I'm just seriously hungry and need a snack, I automatically seem to want something high in fat and protein, not carbs.

      I still think about them but at least for right now have no real desire to eat them and suffer the consequences. I do find that when I even think of craving if I eat something high in fat I no longer want it.

        Not me really. Occasionally if I"m hungry I'll crave whatever is on the plates around me though. ;-) Sometimes I want a piece of chocolate though, I will admit. ;-P

          Not carbs really, but certain tastes, at times. Though what I love about this WOE is that for any taste I crave, I can come up with a total legal alternative that makes me happy.

            Yep, but only during certain hormonal times of the month, other then that I'm good. But like the rest of ya, during the holidays it's not craving for me...but more like "traditonal" of "It's a holiday! Let's eat!" kind of feeling. Definitly need to keep my planning at hand
