Once you get past that, if you are diligent about not eating them, I swear the craving pass. I was a major carb lover and honestly I don't crave them anymore. I'm not even hungry for the most part. When I am hungry I usually crave protein. It really is a life changer if you can just get past those first couple weeks. I notice if I eat some fruit like watermelon that my sugar cravings immediately kick in. I had a couple bites yesterday with my kids and sure enough last night I was craving cereal. I just turned off the lights and made myself go to sleep. :-) I have tried so many diets and none of them worked. This has been the only thing I can stick to. It makes my body feel good. Now I have incorporated some carbs back in but it's things like carrots, apples, etc. I usually do okay with those but I limit them to one or two throughout the day. Hang in there it gets better and the results are worth it! Oh yeah and every once in a while......eat a big ass bowl of ice cream!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06318511294084567621noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1958057397876971565.post-85290762381576443072013-08-14T23:09:22.046-04:002013-08-14T23:09:22.046-04:00Lol Sorry but I had to chuckle at this post.

I cut carbs and sugar (processed) pretty much completely 18 months ago (except for red wine, I seemed to somehow be able to justify that until January!). The first few days are the worst, headaches & feel a bit like chewing someones arm off late afternoon. I now have protein (meat) for breakfast, sometimes 5 or 6 eggs in a day, yeah ridiculous I know and everyone told me my cholesterol would go through the roof. Well I lost about 12kg over 12 months (I'm useless at converting) and my cholesterol dropped quite a bit. I still have a few kg to go but feel SO much better - no gas or bloating. Add a bit of oatbran into the day - it fills you up and seems to makes me crave water. I think it has helped to keep the Wolf on the leash too, getting sugar cravings out of my system beforehand. Your dh sounds like a sweetie.
