My shopping trip last night officially marked my rededication to low carb.

I'm craving sugar now pretty heavily. Sugar! I must be strong and persevere. The downside to low-carb eating is that cheating is an absolute no-no, especially in the early days. It throws everything off for hours, if not the whole day.

If it is your will, read my post about the Trinity here in challenging_god and here in convert_me.

I find that eating flour, potato or sugqr really increases carb craving. Just like alcohols need to stay clean, so do us carb addicts. After several years, the cravings after an ocassional binge is fairly easy to handle. But for the first 6 months or so, the cravings are rather horrific. The only which kept me on a low carb diet in the intensly craving period was fear of having my feet amputated from non-healing diabetic ulcers.

!! I'd call that an incentive.

I know the truth of what you're saying; after a time, regular food starts to taste better, and sugary things seem almost intolerably sweet -- so it is not so hard to stay away from them, if one stays "off the horse."
