Ah, yes the cravings...
After three weeks of sticking to this plan, I would say it's remarkably easy when you're set on it. I still think about some foods I'm not allowed to eat, but it doesn't bother me as much since I'm satisfied on steaks, seafood, and fatty salads with dressing. Plus I love my veggies so it's tastier to fill up on meat and those than a bowl of pasta. And when you're full, do you really need a sugary treat?
It's funny how hard it seems to those who have no interest in trying it. A friend of mine is an overweight carbo ADDICT (sleep eats Little Debbies, gorges on cookies, craves carbs at every moment) and I find her a perfect model for someone who should be trying to elminate carbs. After talking to me for a while about what you can and cannot eat, she was appalled at the concept of giving up milk and fruit. I don't know much about other low-carb plans, but maybe sugarbusters or something is more the way for her?
Anyway, I love lowcarbing. All that starchy, bready, cakey, sugary stuff seems gross to me.
Go protein!
