[QUOTE="AdamJames, post: 1687574, member: 459333"] I think getting rid of the nut butters is definitely as step forward. I actually threw out a jar of peanut butter this morning! I think I just need to be pragmatic and keep a list of the things I've over-indulged in, and avoid having them in the house, at least while I'm 'getting established'. I've found that a 30g serving of mixed nuts with a cup of tea, for example, meets the sort of 'ideal' that I have in mind, where I find it tolerable, but don't crave more immediately. However if I add double cream and a tiny amount of raisins to those nuts, I've got 500 calories in front of me, the volume is tiny, and I can easily eat another two helpings in a row - in fact I'd say I 'crave' more! And a jar of peanut butter is just too easy to keep eating. Top of my list to 'not have in the house' right now, I think, would be double cream and peanut butter! It's just made me realise that raisins are probably not the problem after all. I can add 3g of raisins to a 30g serving of mixed nuts and not immediately crave more. It's adding the double cream to that combo which makes me crave more. Interesting! I'm hopeful of the idea of my body adjusting and the cravings reducing. It would be nice to have things I really enjoy, like the nuts, berries, raisins and cream, and not find them addictive. [/QUOTE]
