Many people who have cravings and/or 'uncontrollable urges' to eat LOTS of carbs have "insulin resistance". That means that our cells have been resistant to the effect of insulin and much more than normal is needed to process food. Even the lowest fruits on the Glycemic Index (berries) can set us off.

The good news is that the longer you stay strictly on low carbing without going off it frequently (eating sugar and starches) the faster your body will heal from this disease. After 6 months of low carbing, you may be able to eat the fruit without cravings or binging.

This way of eating and losing weight is chemical, not just calories. And many of the health benefits are invisible to us. But this decrease in insulin oversensitivity is just one of the best.
