I am craving bread or just junk period.

Maybe I'm bored or something. This is the first time on induction to want something illegal. This is my 6th day on ind. What do ya'll usually do? I'm burned out on pepperoni, cheese, bacon and eggs. Ya know I've been eating the sugar free jello's the last couple of nights and I'm sure the aspartame isn't helping so, I guess I will quit eating that for now.

Re: I am craving bread or just junk period.

It sounds like your body is having a bad reaction to the Jello. It's probably the sweetner in it. The first time I did induction I learned the hard way that artificial sweetners were something I had to ease into. lol

I would put the Jello away for now and revisit it after induction.

Are you drinking enough water? Sometimes your body confuses hunger with thirst.

I would also look around for some new recipes. Linda has a great site filled with amazing recipes--a ton of which are induction friendly. Take a spin around it and you'll be amazed at what she has on there.

Awesome. Trust me, her site is amazing. I've seen some interesting things in there that I'm itching to try-------like the pumpkin custard.....yum. I'm waiting until after induction though because I already know that Splenda will send me on a bender until my body calms down. One more week to go!!!

Re: I am craving bread or just junk period.

I crave junk food too and I've had artificial sweeteners in my coffee and iced tea. Induction does seem a little boring, but I've found some good recipes on this site and a few others.
I suppose we have to stick through it and get our bodies used to detoxing all of the junk!

Meena-beena, you made a good point about giving up the jello and Splenda during induction. DANDR talks about having a "reaction" or something slowing you down, well I suppose you don't know what anything will do to you until you try it. I'm going to slow down on the artificial sweeteners, I'm not getting the results I was hoping for.

Goodness this stuff can get so technical!

Faith, I hope you find some good recipes to keep it different for you, let me know what you find that is good!
