hi,

I have a question, way after meal you have a craving for sugar? I mean on every lunch or dinner. Is it something that need to be lookup or is a habit issue.

thanks a lot
George

hey george,

this is just a guess pehaps something your eating is causing your sugar craving...re evaluate your food if your eating tomatoes in a salad perhaps that could cause sugar cravings..ect.....here is what i do to cure the i need some sugar now please...sugar free jello with a dollop of s/f cool whip with a few walnuts to top it off...its very satisfying..(not the greatest speller)...hope this helps... french

This is exactly what happens to me. But it is pretty much immediately after I eat any meal. It is a habit and it can be broken. The last time I went on this diet, after a few weeks, it stopped. Can't wait to be there again! Those sweet cravings are a killer.
But you're right French, there are FFSF ways to curb those cravings. Unfortunately, I can't stop at just one dessert, even if it's a healthier alternative. That FFSF pudding is addictive!
Good luck!

Well, I looked it up. Here's some possible reasons for the sweets cravings after a meal. http://nutrition.about.com/od/grains...arcravings.htm

That web page also has some ideas for taming the sweet tooth. Just be sure to try to incorperate their suggestions with the SBD plan. For instance, they mention honey glazed carrots and that's a no-no.

And maybe part of it is that people want what they can't have. Perhaps I shouldn't have mentioned the glazed carrots in that case. Anywho, I'm glad that I can have at least one sweet treat a day on this plan. I'd really be bummed out if I thought I could never have another desert.

i crave sugar way more after a meal than if i'm hungry. 'Fage' nonfat greek yogurt is never what i crave, but once i open the tub and start eating, it's very satisfying. super creamy and yummy, low in sugar, high protein, and portion controlled. i also pop gum in my mouth to signal 'done'. There are some great gum flavors out there.
