[chiloe]

In my pre Atkins days I found the supplement chromium really helped with cravings. Since starting Atkins, those cravings have gone.
I so far I have not and plan not to have any sweeteners as I'm afraid it will trigger cravings.
Are you eating a lot of artificial sweeteners or alternate 'healhty' sweeteners? That could be triggering you.
I just know if I make a habit of eating anything sweet it will lead me over the edge and believe me, I loved my sweets!! But now, I am focused on re-programming my taste buds and my brain and really enjoying some new veggies and combinations.
Some days I notice sweets are everywhere when I'm out shopping and I don't really crave them but can't help remembering the fix they gave me.
At the same time it all looks so fake to me. I mean I can see a bunch of desserts on a nice display and it kind of looks fake somehow. Weird huh?
There have been days that I have felt deprived and that's because I didn't take time to prepare some foods in advance to have on hand and had less variety.
I like to keep cooked meats on hand as well as a big container of creamed cauliflower, pumpkin puree, grilled veggies, cheese, sour cream and cream on hand so there is always something yummy to eat. And olives and hot peppers to add a little zip.
Keep at it you're doing great!
