[quote=Anonymous]I am 43 years old and 30 pounds overweight. Since turning 40 I noticed that I crave sugar more and more. If I know that we have chocolate at home, I cannot keep my mind off it until I eat it all. In the past I tried cutting out sugar altogether. After a short while I did not crave it at all. That went well for a few months until a birthday party or similar when I ate just one piece of chocolate cake. That, however, opened the floodgates again and the old cravings returned. Every time I start eating sugar again after a few months of going without, I feel that it does more and more damage to my body: especially it causes severe joint pain, which goes away when I don't eat sugar. The same applies to all foods with a high glycemic index such as bread and rice, which have a similar effect on me. My mother has a serious case of adiposity. She cannot constrain her eating, and can hardly move as a result of her obesity. I feel that I am headed down the same road if I don't radically stop with sugar and other high GI food. I work out fairly regularly: jogging, cycling, a lot of walking. I just don't know what to do at this point. Or rather, assuming I start going without sugar and other high GI food again, how do I keep from eating it again? For personal and professional reasons it is vitally important that I reign in this problem. I gained 30 pounds in three years, and I even started not attending professional events (pre-Covid) because nothing looked good on my anymore. Furthermore, I am not willing to live with joint pain the rest of my life or take painkillers. Thanks in advance.[/quote]
