Research also seems to indicate that for some people the taste of sugar (not generic carbs that will turn into glucose when digested) stimulates the same areas  of the brain involved in addictions to various things (drugs, sex, alcohol etc etc) in other peopleMy taste preferences have always been on the spicy end of the scale, and my addictions were drug (nicotine) related. My craving for fags lasted many years after I gave them up (21 years ago) and were v easily reawakened.Telling me to do without curry or chillies might stir some cravingsI use low carb bread occasionally and as indicated via testing. I also use konjac noodles / spaghetti and chia seed puddings  but primarially for their high fibre content</blockquote>
