Oh I can SO relate to you!!! NO treat lasts any time with me. I have no willpower whatsoever.

For this reason, I've found that the safest method is to just not keep anything in the house. Yes it's horribly frustrating when the cravings hit, and mine last for up to six hours at a time, but think of it this way: when worst comes to worst, you CAN go out and get a LOW-CARB treat as well as a HIGH-CARB one. And no matter how strong your cravings are, if you know that you're going to get a treat, I believe that you'll be able to make the right choice (so it doesn't come down between having one or not, but just deciding WHICH one). For me, this works mostly. Sure works better than keeping low-carb treats around the house, because all the low-carb in the world won't help if it's eaten in excess.

And I know what I'm talking about with excess... the other day I ate SIX bowls of protein shake with soy milk and nuts. Six. *sigh*
