There is a research group out of Sweden that has demonstrated rich foods (such as sugary carbs) turn off the bodies natural controls for inhibiting food intake (meaning, eating these foods turns on the craving button) <br /> <br />Really, its just the ratio of sugars to good fats. The simple act of replacing about 30% of your meals with good fats (instead of carbs) for energy (with some protein) while cutting back on liquid sugars and sugary carbs and adding some EPA/DHA oil will stop the cravings in about 2 days - for good. Then what you will notice is they only come back whenever you eat sugary carbs. <br /> <br />If you eat meat, try the grass fed beef in particular. There is a lot of very good research showing many wonderful things from eating grass fed beef.</span></td> </tr> </table></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2" height="1" class="spaceRow"><img src="templates/subSilver/images/spacer.gif" alt="" width="1" height="1" /></td> </tr> <tr> <td width="22%" align="left" valign="top" class="row2"><span class="name"><a name=""></a><b>sweetvtmom</b></span></td> <td class="row2" height="28" valign="top"><table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"> <tr> <td width="100%"><img src="templates/subSilver/images/icon_minipost.gif" width="12" height="9" alt="Post" title="Post" border="0" /><span class="postdetails">Posted: Tue Jan 27, 2009 9:44 pm<span class="gen"></span>Post subject: </span></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><hr /></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><span class="postbody">When you say "good fats", I am taking it that these fats do nothing to the arteries, meaning it won't raise your cholesterol? <br /> <br />And we are talking things like olive oil or even avocados? <br /> <br />Sorry for all the questions--this has just become very interesting.

Think of it this way, no one craves alcohol until they drink it. It's the drinking that creates the cravings. Carbs work the same way. The cravings are created by eating the carbs themselves. They start a self perpetuating cycle. The trick is to supplement with good fats when trying to cut carbs, particularly EPA/DHA oil. It works to lower cortisol and increase serotonin, which helps with carb cravings.</span></td> </tr> </table></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2" height="1" class="spaceRow"><img src="templates/subSilver/images/spacer.gif" alt="" width="1" height="1" /></td> </tr> <tr> <td width="22%" align="left" valign="top" class="row2"><span class="name"><a name=""></a><b>GI Jane</b></span></td> <td class="row2" height="28" valign="top"><table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"> <tr> <td width="100%"><img src="templates/subSilver/images/icon_minipost.gif" width="12" height="9" alt="Post" title="Post" border="0" /><span class="postdetails">Posted: Tue Jan 27, 2009 8:56 pm<span class="gen"></span>Post subject: </span></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><hr /></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><span class="postbody">Whey protein is another supplement everyone should take. It is mostly taken by bodybuilders, but it has benefits for the average Joe. Joel did a good job of explaining the differences in quality, which is very important. <br /> <br />Whey protein will help support muscle (and from a low calorie source), which has a huge impact on metabolism. The more lean muscle mass you have, the more calories you burn while a rest. I explain it to my personal training clients like this: you can workout on the treadmill for an hour and burn calories, or you can put on a pound of muscle and burn calories 24/7.

Carb cravings are usually the result of an imbalance of good fats to starches, stress, and dinner and breakfast being out of whack. <br /> <br />two simple, easy things you can do are <br /> <br />1. Get on a good liquid fat with concentrated EPA/DHA Oil and use this in place of carbs 2x a day. This will do wonders for the cravings. <br /> <br />2. Combine this fat with whey concentrate at around 3pm in the afternoon. The combination of fat and whey together acts to increase serotonin, which means you will seek carbs less. (eating carbs increases serotonin, so this does the same thing without the carbs) <br /> <br />In the "Learn" section, there is an article on night eating syndrome. Check that out. It explains a lot of about night binging.</span></td> </tr> </table></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2" height="1" class="spaceRow"><img src="templates/subSilver/images/spacer.gif" alt="" width="1" height="1" /></td> </tr> <tr> <td width="22%" align="left" valign="top" class="row1"><span class="name"><a name=""></a><b>sweetvtmom</b></span></td> <td class="row1" height="28" valign="top"><table width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"> <tr> <td width="100%"><img src="templates/subSilver/images/icon_minipost.gif" width="12" height="9" alt="Post" title="Post" border="0" /><span class="postdetails">Posted: Tue Jan 27, 2009 8:04 pm<span class="gen"></span>Post subject: </span></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><hr /></td> </tr> <tr> <td colspan="2"><span class="postbody">Thank you Joel.
