| i liked fgummett's reply He said: Eating fewer carbs will lead to less cravings for carbs.
When I first started low carb, I really cut out the carbs to an extreme. I experienced a small withdrawal, but nothing significant.
Bring snacks with you and eat frequently. Don't let yourself get hungry. Consider no sugar added peanut butter with celery, tuna salad, beef jerkey (check how much sugar they add), hard boiled eggs (seasoned), chicken parts (that sounded gross, but you know what I mean), cold cuts, and an apple or a bag of grapes (just to be safe). Almonds are awesome.
I'm sure other people would disagree, but maybe try a can of diet soda???? After being off carbs for a few days, a can of soda tasted REALLY sweet. I don't know how the body processes soda....I've heard from some people that it raises blood glucose, even though it's diet. I have no idea.
It requires a lot more planning, but I think you will overcome your cravings if you can handle the "cold turkey" phase.
Keep an eye on blood glucose. Don't let it get too low.
Good luck! Let us know how you are doing. If anyone has other food ideas, I'd love to hear them. |
