I'm on my 4th day of SBD and today I find that I want CARBS! I'm not a real big carb addict to begin with - I don't drink soda, I don't eat that many sweets, I really don't like bread or potatoes that much, but I do love rice - so you'd think I'd have an easier time with this, but I feel so dissatisfied! I'm not in danger of falling off the wagon but, unless this feeling passes in a few days, I might be...
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Maria

I know just how you feel!!! I am on Day 5 and did really well Days 1-3 but then last night (Day 4) I wasn't hungry but just had cravings really bad. I ended up caving in and having a dish of ice cream. Then I had to deal with how angry I got at myself. I know it would be easier not to have ice cream or other goodies in the house, but I have two teen sons who love the stuff. I tried to have some "good" things when I got the cravings...but you know how it is...when you crave something, you aren't satisfied until you have it, so then you end up eating those other things plus the thing you craved! I have been trying to be good today...but am worried about tonight again. Nights seem to be worse for me.

The nuts, especially pistachios that really require you to work at them really helped. For the sweet cravings at night try sugar free Jello or sugar free fudgcicles. Don't go off the wagon. You'll be so happy. You really will see the results.
Best of luck!

Hi Maria, there's a slight mis-conception in lots of posts today about Carbs and craving carbs, and the idea that carbs are bad.

Does anyone know if jicama is ok to eat? I saw that there were a few recipes using jicama on www.shakeoffthesugar.net and I really love snacking on it.
