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??)
