You need to occupie yourself threw out the day like take 2 mile jog followed by a stop for some icecream or yogurt. Now i know icecream is a sweet but it also is good for you. You can also get low fat yogurt since your tyying to watch your carb intake, icecream also comes in low fat too.

rule of thumb, aviod sweet food and check ur sugar regularly. eat plenty of green vegetables, avoid taking much carbohydrate (bread, rice, cereals, etc), eat it moderation (but dont starve), and exercise regularly. hope it helps, but hey dont forget to seek expert help, preferably from a doc/ diabetic nurse/ dietician. the american diabetic association has a resourceful website too. http://www.diabetes.org/home.jsp

With the colder weather and exercising, you are perhaps getting low sugar levels. The most natural response is to turn to a chocolate bar or sweets. However, it is these sugar lows and then highs that increase the cravings for more sugar.\n\nEat pasta, chicken and rice and loads of vegetables. These are full of complex carbohydrates- good sugars. Your cravings for junk sugar - called simple sugars such as fizzy drinks and choc bars and sweet puddings should go. avoid alcohol; that totally messes with your sugar levels.\n\nAlternatively, try one of those athlete drinks or chews to keep your body sugar levels intact.

Your brain is a glucose  (sugar) junkie!! if you are cutting calories too much and your blood sugar gets low, the brain gets all upset and gives you unbearable cravings for those carb calories......so maybe try to eat a little more calorie wise and it should get better....

Try taking fruit and vegetables with you (carrots, celery...). Try having a salad for lunch, and much on fruit and vegetables when you are hungry. Limit the amount of bread and sweets that you take, and don't have sweetened soda, only diet versions. Maybe you can take some lighter lunches with you: vegetable dip with fresh vegetables to dip in it, salads, grilled vegetables, grilled meats and fish...\nGood luck.

It scares me a little that you seem so young, your body is still growing so don't cut to many calories. Tae Bo is a great workout, paired with less refined sugar and all the fruit and veggies you can eat!  Also, cravings last about 15 minutes.  When a craving for sugar or something not to healthy strikes, drink a big glass of water and take a walk or fold laundry or anything that will keep your mind occupied until the craving passes.  YOU CAN DO IT!!  The only way to lose weight and keep it off is to change your eating habits, for good.  2 months is plenty of time to see results and make a healthy change for the future.

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.

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!

Salad... but load it up with mushrooms, egg, lean ham or turkey, low-fat/non-fat cheese, sprouts, etc... No croutons.  Then use a light dressing like a balsamic vinegarette which you can make yourself... mustard, a dash of Splenda, salt, olive oil, and pepper blended well makes a good dressing too.  Fruit, unfortunately, has sugars in it.  Granted, they are better for you than pure cane sugar, to get your body off of the sugar addiction try eating more vegetables (raw, roasted, grilled), chicken with no sauce (just rub with seasoning), seafood, and beef. Then slowly allow yourself FRESH fruit, and you will see a major difference with your cravings. I'm completely off sugar now, and couldn't be happier with my health or weight!

Actually, you should go see a Dr. You may have low thyroid function. If all checks out, then the best suggestion I can give is to go on a diabetics diet, stay away from eating triggers like watching TV, go to OA(overeaters anonymous, eat in the morning to help with nite cravings and some of the other suggestions given.

Try to eliminate all sugar to beat the sugar cravings.\nSomething I saw on Oprah which makes a lot of sense....\nYou need to be comfortable with that uncomfortable nagging feeling you get when you want to nibble.  That is when people sabotage their diet.  When you get that feeling, don't eat - that is when your body is losing weight.  \nI am trying to lose my pregnancy weight now too - I joined a gym with a daycare, and am trying to make better choices.  You can have snacks when you hit your goal weight. Your weight loss should motivate you to keep going, I love it when I fit into jeans I haven't worn in a while.  I lost 23 lbs and have 40 left to go.

One of many, many,ways to do this is to stop drinking sodas and if you are truly serious try cutting out all added sugar.  Or if you really want to watch the sugar intake, try counting SUGAR GRAMS, not calories.  allow yourself 40 sugar grams every 8 hours.  When you start looking at sugar grams in the things you eat on a daily base, you will be SHOCKED.    This not only helps reduce weight and body fat, it also helps reduce the risk of becoming diabetic.

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.

i recommend certain types of organic teas without any sugar. there are teas for fasting and detox which do the trick. They usually contain dandelion and dont taste the best.
