Garrison – I tried the glutamine to ease muscle soreness when I was doing BFL, and when I RE-start BFL, I’ll likely go back to it. I don’t know if it was the thing that curbed my carb cravings, or just this WOE in general, but there are some good discussions of it here in the usenet area about cravings, and here in one of the exercise forums about trainning.

I fend off cravings by trying a new LC food – usually it’s something I would have denied myself on any low fat WOE. Yesterday it was artichoke hearts marinated in olive oil – just threw ‘em in the (mainly lettuce) green salad, and voila! New taste treat. Just visit the gourmet section of the store – the stuff is more expensive, but if you only do it one in a while to stave off the cravings, it’s worth it.
