ok,
I am going into week number 4 of keeping my carbs under 20 a day.
As I have posted before, everything feels better with my body...so that is a no brainer.
typical menu...
3 egg omlet with 1.5 slices of cheese and 10 slices of pepperoni
2 cans of tuna with lettuce and cucumber with a slice of extra sharp cheddar OR 1 carb solutions bar
usually some chicken breast OR pork chops OR steak

If I feel a need to snack, I might grab a handfull of peanuts or a tablespoon of peanut butter or SF jello

I have not tasted chocolate in almost a month...I have not tasted refined carbs in the same amount of time.
I live in a house with a 4 and 5 year old and there is always a piece of chocolate here or there.

The cravings have gotten so bad I want to punch myself.
I am going to attempt some of the recipes on this board, but I just need to vent.
My mouth litterally will water for JUNK!

I am on Effexor XR, so I dont know if that is the problem with the cravings...I am full all of the time, but at night, I still get my ~ss kicked by food "calling" me. Then I feel like a glutton because I will take that extra shot of canned whipped cream or a few more peanuts before I call it a night.
my weight loss is crawling, but I am not so concerned about that, I more like the way that I feel about myself. My BP is down, and I want to get the blood levels checked.
So here I sit.
Can you hear me now???
Thanks
