Here's a quick suggestion. When battling cravings, eat something with a lot of fat: two tablespoons peanut butter, half an avocado, three to six green olives, a couple of high fiber crackers topped with a butter pat or slice of cheese. I like Mary's Gone Crackers Original here in the US. We've all been there.
Totally agree with this. I've you're craving something sweet or carby have something low carb but fatty. The 'naughtier' feeling the better. No carbs or sugar but peanut butter or a piece of cheese is my go to. Blue cheese if I want something extra tasty. I stay away from nuts as I sometimes I can't stop eating those and their carbs add up.
I also agree we've all been there. More than a few times xx
For me it's about just stopping the carbs and then in a few days/a week your blood sugars will stop yo-yoing and you will suddenly find it all gets a lot easier to control. It's not your will power that is the problem, it is you've probably got high insulin levels making you hungry and your bloods are all over the place.
It's not your fault, and you do have the power to change this.
I find going on a really regular testing regime (first thing in the morning, 2 hours after breakfast, before lunch, 2 hours after lunch, before dinner, before bed) for a period of time helps me stay on the straight and narrow for the initial start as you can see the impact you're having (level and hopefully decreasing bloods).
Good luck! xx
