This is a big problem with me, when you're trying to cut out the sweets or any food in general. Just make sure you have a bag of those baby carrots in your fridge at all times, and munch on those when a craving hits. They're also convenient to carry with you too. Just stick some in a baggy when you go out and stay away from restaurants like McDonald's or KFC if possible. You'll be drooling just smelling the food from outside.LOL! Good Luck!

You can get psychologically addicted to anything that you enjoy.  Ice cream, potatoe chips, celery, sleeping, and yes, cannabis.  It has to do with enjoying something you do, and do, and do, and do, and do.  Try reading a little about dopamine.

This is a simple question.\nYou used to get it all the time and now, you don't get anything so it's natural that you crave it more.

Hi, I'm embarrassed to say that I do the same thing sometimes. Ill  go weeks without barely even thinking about food then go on these crazy eating frenzies and then I feel like shit afterwards. I'm not sure why we do this, its a truly sad thing and I'm taking two perscriptions to calm me down so I dont'  do it one is Xanex and the other is Zoloft. Talk to your doctor and tell him what's up..If not just try to GET OUT OF THE HOUSE and dont' get caught in the "funk" of the eating binge. Trust me I know exactly what your saying but good luck....

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!

No, but you may have something called "pica."  Do you crave ice?  Is the rest of your diet normal?

I've heard various things, like wait 10 minutes or go for a walk.  I'd say wait the 10 minutes and if you still have the craving, go ahead and have whatever it is but try and make it a small portion.  I don't think there's any real way to stop a craving - but I have also heard that after a couple weeks of not eating something (sugar, butter - whatever), you won't want it any more.  I've never been able to hold out long enough to test that theory!

It sounds like you have an addiction to sugar, and don't feel alone, many people do!  Fact is, this is an addiction, and not good for you, as you're overloading your body with way too much sugar.  You will need to start eating different foods, and cut way back on the sugars.  \nTry cutting all the cravings that you're eating in half, you will really seriously need to start eating better, for instance lunch, maybe a Subway, so that you're not hungry enough to eat the sweets at work.  I'm thinking that if you will make your meal times better, you won't be as hungry either.  Eat a good breakfast, lunch and dinner.  Maybe you aren't hungry for breakfast because of your eating in the night.  If you don't eat in the night, you'll be ready for breakfast.  If you straighten your meals out, you won't be eating so much otherwise.  Hope this makes some sense........

The name for wanting to eat or place things in your mouth that have no nutritional value is "Pica". You have an obsessive compulsive disorder. It is my suggestion that you first tell your doctor then seek a therapist. My second suggestion is that you do NOT ever try out any street drugs because obsessive compulsive tend to become addicts. Use caution when using prescribed drugs and/or alcohol. Learn to meditate and learn biorhythm control over your body.\n\nGood luck hon. This sounds like hard work but it will be worth learning this self control.

Myus is right, but I'd resist the sugars, and instead go for something your body will have to work harder to convert to sugar.  Protien, fats or whole grains (like whole oatmeal) will work.  You won't satisfy your cravings right away, but eventually they'll disipate, and you won't risk throwing off your diet.

Not sure but it makes me hungry for a peanut butter sandwich.
