stop the sugar cravings!!!
Question:
buggirl, i notice that after binging and purging (on sweets) that the next day, my craving for binge food is very strong. but when i go several days not binging, and follow a meal plan with no sugar, i feel much much better. i know for me that if i eat candy or sugar, i will crave more. something to do with insulin levels. shell
Response:
buggirl, i am coming out of lurkdom to answer this b/c i feel like I literally could subsist on sugar. My body craves it all the time, but I think that reason is because I am not eatig enough and the sugar levels in my body drop. And so, to replenish these emtpy stores, I eat tons of sugar. I notice that when I try to eat more regularly, my body craves sugar less and less. Maybe all you need to do is to eat on a more regular basis, consuming a balanced diet! peace and health, honeybee
Response:
Have you tried any of the sugar free candies? There are some made by Sorbee, which are pretty good, but be careful that you don’t eat too many because they can give you diarrhea and a horrible stomach ache. Maybe you can eat those to substitute some of your real sugar, this way you might be able to continue eating some sugar, just not as much. Take care. Karen

does anyone have any ideas for how i can stop craving sugar so much?? its driving me crazy… the rest is spoilered for mention of food… * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * * i still crave it after i eat tons of candy. i could eat candy all day if i wanted to, i love it so much. ive tried substituting fruit but that only works for so long. i live on-campus at college so sugar, candy and cookies are very abundant and convient to buy. i cant eat anywhere without having the option of buying a giant size cookie or some chocolate chip bread. ive tried telling myself that ill get fat if i eat it, but i end up eating it anyway. plus with halloween coming up im afraid that im going to go totally bezerk and end up eating bags of it….so what should i do? is this some kind of obsessive disorder thing? if anybody else has these annoying cravings/obsessions or if you know how to control them, please write me!! with love, *buggirl*
