You need to just cut down first of all. Exhibit some self control no matter how hard it is.\nAnd yes I know it is hard.\nBut the thing about it is the more you eat it the more you crave it. The less you eat it you will find yourself not wanting it.\nSugar is addictive and makes your body want more. So unless you have great self control you can not just tell yourself just one and leave it at that.\nEat less and you wont really want it!

Reduce sugars and simple carbs - that means reduce the donuts, the funnel cakes, the cookies and the white bread...\n\nInstead try\n\nWhole wheat bread/pasta, veggies, fruits\n\nEat more protein - skiness and fat free chicket breasts, tuna, salmon, beef (lean cuts like top sirloin and top round), fat free cottage cheese

Believe it or not, a spoonful of sugar works for me...  You could also try bitters.

Eat when you do not feel like eating.\nKeep your meals more regular, dont wait too long to eat.\nEat your largest meal in the morning or by noon hour.\nEat more fruits. Eat salads, endless cold veggies. Basically eat veggies for snacks. Fats crave more fatty foods, and sugar craves more sugar food. When you eat more fruits and vegetables regularly you will actually crave for less fatty, salty, sugary foods.

Don't starve yourself!!! this can make you unhealthy and will do no good to lose weight and keep it off.\n\nYou are exactly correct, it's called a sugar drop. When your sugar levels go down, your body does not have the catalyst it needs. THe best thing to do without risking your weightloss is to eat lot's of fruit. pineapple, apples, peaches, pears, strawberries. As much as you can.\n\nAnother thing. Eating less often isn't the right way to lose weight. You don't need to be hungry. This is when your body starts breaking down muscle mass to produce protein. \n\nHere is a great weightloss program that worked for me:\n\nDrink lot's of water all day-don't chug, just drink.\n\nEat 5 small meals a day...eat them abnormally slow, and eat till you don't feel hungry, but not till you feel full. Try to make the morning and brunch meals to have as much protein as you can and as little fat(it's better if you can get shakes. Make your third meal a normal one--tacos, pizza, whatever. Make your fourth a salad with a small amount of lowfat meat in it. make your fifth meal have lot's of protein, but make it a normal, but healthy meal, like steak and potatoes. Always be sure to stay away from unsaturated fats. Try to soak up the grease off your pizza and things like that.\n\nAlways excercise in the morning before your first meal. The key is not to do some random push-yourself-workout routine. You should excercise the same amount of time each day, like 30 minutes. While you're in that routine, do all the same exercises, but each time, push yourself a little harde, not faster, just harder. Don't go over the average time per day though.\n\nThe whole key to this diet is to make it routine. change your meals everyday, but keep all the times, and exercises the same. Make sure you believe in yourself.

The key here is "Everything in moderation!":) Try to limit yourself to like one sweet a day, and then if the urge comes to have another, snack on something healthily sweet, like fruit or a granola bar or some yogurt. Read the back of the sweets container to see how much is equal to one serving, and try to stick with eating only that much. It is hard, but denying yourself of any sweets will make it much worse in the long run. Good luck and Good health!

Your body is craving the "energy" that carbohydrates gives us.There are other alternatives from the carbs.Try snacking on apple slices with 1 T of fat free peanutbutter or cut up some celery,broccoli,carrots so they can be on hand when you are having those attacks.Don't drink soda as it is empty calories plus the glucose(sugar ) adds up to extra pounds.It is hard to advoid tempations such as cookies,cakes,pies..(I have a sweet tooth myself) My doctor told me I have to watch my insulin levels as I am not breaking the carbs so I am on a high protein low carb diet.I would recommend getting some books such as south beach,zone or a low carb cookbook that you can make wonderful recipies out of and hopefully this will cure your desire for carbs.

I have the same problem . I recently found out that my sugar is a lot of my problem. I am controling my sugar with diet. Seek advice from your doctor about this "problem" you are having!

Yes. \n1. Reduce sugar intake. Intake of sugar will cause an insulin reaction that will lower your blood sugar.  This will cause you to feel hungry and want to eat again. If you then choose a sugary or starchy food, you've started the cycle over again.\n\nTry eating vegetables, cheeses, meats and other low carb options.  When you want to snack, stay away from sugary items.  Stay away from Soft drinks! Stay away from sugar substitutes.  Sometimes your insulin system mistakes these for sugar.\n\n2.  Eat small frequent meals.  Eat about enough to curb your hunger for about 2-3 hours.  Then eat again when your hunger comes back.  You'll find that the total calories you consume will be much lower than if you ate a few big meals.  I reccomend 5-6 small meals per day.\n\n3.  Drink lots of water.  Sometimes your brain will confuse it's signals and you will find yourself eating when you are actually dehydrated.  64-96 ounces per day works great.  That's A LOT, but start small and work up to it.\n\nGood luck and God Bless!

Definitely cut out sugar and fat from your diet where you can. Talk to your doctor about what your limits might be, then amp up your exercise regime, making sure you're keeping your heart rate aerobic when exercising. See this site for some good tips:\nhttp://www.smartgym.com/aerobicbpm.htm\nBe sure also that you're drinking enough water. Choose foods with a low-glycemic index, like oatmeal, that will help to keep your blood sugar level and will make you feel less hungry throughout the day. You can learn more about low-glycemic foods at http://www.glycemicindex.com/\nLastly, I doubt many would recommend trying to burn 100 pounds quickly, because you might rebound later and gain it all back. But exercising daily, eating small quantities of the right foods and drinking water (and nothing but) will really help you to reach your ultimate goal. Good luck! :)

It's the sugar.  Try cutting out processed sugar from your diet.  The first week or two is tough, but then you'll find you don't crave it any longer.  \n\nOr...try having a small amount of dark chocolate instead of milk chocolate.  It's a lot healthier for you, and your body will be happier with smaller amounts.

When I feel the 'urge' coming on, I sit down, at the table, grab and ice cold Water, and drink it slowly BEFORE YOU EAT. And think, do I really need this sweet junk? You know the answer. YOu dont have to totally cut it all out, just replace.\nfor example; quakers chocolate chip rice cakes instead of a choclate bar\n\nlow fat ice cream\n\npopsicles, smoothies, yoghurt, pretzels are sweet but healthy.\n\nIf urges are super-bad, swallow some vinegar.

When I learned I was diabetic, I first tried to not eat any chocolate.  Then I discovered that just a small amount (half a dozen mini chocolate chips) would satisfy my craving without blowing my diet.  Something along this line might work for you, too.
