I suffer a little tiny bit when I pass, say, a Krispy Kreme store. But it's getting better.
A couple of days ago I had a total blood sugar meltdown in the middle of my workout. When I talked to my food/trainer guy, he told me that while he doesn't want me to crash, it was actually an indicator that my metabolism had had a breakthrough and it was time to eat MORE food -- in particular, to add more carbs. Not donuts, though.
Just bigger servings of what I'm already taking in, sugar-wise: brown rice, couscous, beans, fruit, etc. It seems to be helping with the cravings, just to be so satisfied (not to say stuffed) all day long.
I had a bad moment when my guy told me that when I had my crash, the best choice would have been to just go get emergency calories: like a cheeseburger. I so wish I had know that. I had been trying to be a good girl and stay more or less on the program, and I felt guilty about having one of those little 110-calorie Pria bars to get fast sugar. D'oh! A cheeseburger! Danger Man said, "don't you feel a little woozy now?" (like, looking for an excuse to scarf a cheeseburger.)
I'm halfway through my 42 days! I will be rewarding myself on Day 43 with
