Chromium is also a great supplement to curb those sweet cravings.

Re: Does anyone here NOT crave sweets?
Okay, I thought I was just missing the salty stuff up until yesterday. I broke down and had three bites of cookie dough icecream. I felt like such a failure...I soon went to bed so I couldnt do anymore damage.
I will say though, this morning when I looked in the mirror, it was the first time I could visualy see a loss. I have not been using my scale nor have I measured but my stomach shrunk.How does one become a butterfly?

Re: Does anyone here NOT crave sweets?
The first 4-5 days of Induction, I dreamt of candy
and fighting the temptation 
to indulge was tough; but I knew it was temporary and by the end of the week, the cravings were gone. What a relief! My idea of a big toot these days is some pork rinds with salsa and sour cream ... nom nom!

Re: Does anyone here NOT crave sweets?
My husband also hates chicken skin so either I remove the skin from his portion and put it on my plate before serving it (when roasting a chicken) or remove the skin before cooking it and bake that in the oven separately.Wondering how to get 'most' of your net carbs from your induction veggies?
Take a look at the thread from the latest Veggie Challenge to see how others manage it!

Re: Does anyone here NOT crave sweets?
I'm blown away by the info you've provided, Mother Earth. I don't crave sweets now but I used to. But I do think I can benefit from the L-glutamine. Thanks for the info.redfoxglove

Re: Does anyone here NOT crave sweets?
The L-glutamine vitamins are great. Maybe thats a reason why I don't really crave sweets. I have been taking amino acids on and off for the past 10 years. I just looked at the vitamins I take now and that's one of the aminos in it. I was shocked.Comment
