after 2 weeks on south beach, i no longer crave pasta, bread or chocolate, etc and i am usually able to reason with myself that when i crave something with carbs im just hungry and i should eat some peanuts...however, i am seriously craving pizza, bagels and icing from cakes...well anywho, im starving and wanted a bagel soooo bad (multigrain, so i thought i was doing myself a favor) instead i went to starbucks in the stop and shop got a passion tea lemonade sweetened with splenda and 4 slices of tukey and some cheese to eat it with....
go me

Re: Successfully resisted a carb craving
Congrats!!!!! That's definately a big deal! In 2005, I went on a strict diet changing the way I ate. After one week of slowly weening out carbs, I no longer crave them! I only have my 2 slices of whole wheat extra fiber bread a day as my carbs and that's it! I have been doing this for 3 years now and have maintained my weight since then! It take dedication and you seem like you have it! Go you!

Re: Successfully resisted a carb craving
surprisingly its not that difficult--but maybe that is because i modified the diet a little bit.. like i eat full fat cheese often and real bacon sometimes...the bead i dont miss at all, and the pasta i dont really miss...the thing i miss most is the alcohol! its not that i drink a lot but i just miss the freedom of being able to drink if i want

Re: Successfully resisted a carb craving
I've been eating low carb for years although I've added a lot back in...I want to lose more weight so I'll probably go back to Atkins induction soon. I love it. I haven't had sugar, flour, rice, etc in maybe 4 years.
