[quote=Anonymous]This is me to a T. About a year ago I got really strict about the added sugar. I think one reason for the increased cravings is increasing insulin resistance as you age. You have already noted that you are not a person that can do moderation with sugar. Would anyone give you this advice about alcohol if you were an alcoholic (i.e., well, if you restrict yourself, then obviously you binge, so you should just drink moderately)? I suspect not, and yet I think sugar addiction is real for some people, or at least I found for me. I MUCH rather live without war with myself and just not have it. I have found for myself that stevia doesn't seem to cause the spikes in insulin that some other sweeteners do. The one treat I allow myself is Lily's stevia sweetened dark chocolate. I also reduced the frequency of my meals and my carbohydrates. I eat proteins, plenty of good fats, and tons of vegetables. By keeping these rules in place, my weight is stable, my hunger/hangry is completely gone. I do get hungry, but it is mild and passes until the time I'm supposed to eat. I like being focused on food as fuel. Jason Fung is a great read on insulin resistance. [/quote]
