It's almost a month of reasonably strict low carb, yet I haven't experienced any reduction in cravings.
Maybe I should cut out fizzy drinks as well. But that would be too restrictive.
Do I have to cut the 3% carb squirty cream also? It's ridiculous.
I still drink some fizzy drinks, but they don't seem to affect my cravings.
One thing that I find helpful is to up the fat intake when I'm craving something, and it usually works. My go to is extra thick double cream. A dollop of that in a cup of coffee...
Whilst on the subject of coffee, I make an iced coffee that substitutes chocolate milk (I noticed earlier in the thread you were having a chocolate milk issue). Make a normal coffee with almond milk. Add a few drops of vanilla essence, a sweetener, and a spoon of cocoa powder. Blitz in a blender, or mix well. Let it cool in the fridge and add ice.
