That is interesting about the Anemia and the chocolate craving. I take Iron pills for anemia too and I have a big Chocolate craving at times. I have a bag of Low Carb or Sugar free chocolate candies hidden away and when I can't stand the craving anymore I go and get a few. I like the really dark chocolate the best. The Russell stovers Low carb candies have about 0.3 carbs each and the chocolate gets my craving taken care of without adding the real sugar carbs to my diet.

WHen I started low carbing I got into it slowly because of lack of knowledge. I got the diet by word of mouth and I didn't have the book. I didn't even know what the diet was until I had been doing it for 3 months. Then I got the book. I lost weight at that time and I think I was doing the maintenance part of the diet. That was all I knew abuot at the time. After the book I started looking for low carb recipes on the internet and got to learning how to cook all over again.

Have a great day!!
