I agree about the foods. I don't eat anything processed, or chemically altered. However, if Alan ever ate butter, eggs and cheese, I believe his doctor would have a stroke.
They are always talking "NO CHOLESTEROL"
So we don't eat anything with Cholesterol.
But doesn't the body need SOME CHOLESTEROL??
We once went to a nutritionist and holy cow, did we change our eating habits.
Bye bye went the red meat. Hello went the fish.
I happen to like this but Alan finds it very hard to give up all the 100 calorie packs, etc. Now if he only ate one, I mean, who cares.
I found out he'd eat 6 at night.
No good.
He just admitted he has a big problem with cravings. (I don't).
He said to me "I don't know how you do this, you don't eat all the time, how do you do this"? Honestly, I couldn't answer him.
I have changed my thinking, I don't eat after 7 . I most certainly don't put honey, or eat sugar because I'm a diabetic.
Maybe that's it. He has a hard time giving up the sugar.
I gave it up 20 or so years ago when I found out I was diabetic.
Didn't stop me from pigging out at night with chips and dips, and the ocassional yodels, but SALTY SNACKS WAS MY DOWNFALL.
But I don't think that way anymore.
He just shakes his head and goes "I can't do it, I have all these cravings".
I wish I could help him, but I can't.
How do you all stop your cravings when you get them?? (If you indeed get them??)
