The hardest part

[Donnam1983]

I am struggling a little. I have NOT cheated. But I am craving sweets.. Badly.. Is there anything at all one can have on induction that would resemble a sweet item? Or what do you do to fight it off?? I am asking because I do not want to screw this up. I want do to this right and I want to lose this weight..

Dr A says (pg 136) if you have sugar cravings during induction to take 500 mg of L-glutamine prior to each meal. Hope this helps.

cravings are just like withdrawl....

scary, but you can beat them.

[Donnam1983]

This is true. It is so hard to just walk past it.. I know I can do it.

Why fight it? Go pick up some sugar free jello and have that! You can even whip up a little heavy cream and top it. Just stay in your recommended amount!

I actually have been blending my cream and jello together in my bullet blender, it makes the most decadent fluffy dessert. MMM!

[Donnam1983]

LOL I have issues with Jello It makes me sick to try to eat it. Personal problem

[newfoundme]

Hmm, Maybe check out the dessert section and search for induction friendly sweets? That's a good start.

Actually you might find that you can kill your sugar monster if you keep your sweet treats to a minimum on your first 14 days.

Try eating a highfat snack instead - devilled egg, ham/cheese rollups, celery/cream cheese etc or even a sour one like a dill pickle (check for no sugar added).
