tj2650 Posted March 22, 2014 Share Posted March 22, 2014 Ok, I did not notice this in the timeline. But I am at day 22, and no I don't have a headache today, so I figure my blood sugar is fine... Yet I am craving orange juice, or apple juice or something sweet. I have done really well following the meal plan. Only change was I added Larabars over a few days because I was travelling. Did the Larabars cause this? Or is this normal?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Tom Denham Posted March 22, 2014 Moderators Share Posted March 22, 2014 Larabars are sugar bombs that entice cravings. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tj2650 Posted March 22, 2014 Author Share Posted March 22, 2014 Ok good to know. Was doing so good..., was shocked the cravings started, especially since I don't normally (outside the Whole30) crave sweets or juice. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ninadude Posted March 22, 2014 Share Posted March 22, 2014 Hi TJ2650!!! Whatever you do, DO NOT eat anything sweet during this craving period! It Starts with Food advises wisely, the only way to beat the sugar dragon is to starve it. Remember that sugar is sugar. Maybe give yourself a few days to get over the craving for sweet before you give the dragon even an innocent taste of fruit. You are doing AWESOME!!!! Keep it up!

SharynF Posted March 22, 2014 Share Posted March 22, 2014 Good to see you still posting TJ. Not seen you around for a while. I bought some larabars (Nakd in UK) and they didn't do me any good at all Stay strong and maybe cut out fruit and sweet potatoes for a day or so. I am on Day 22 also and for some reason I fancied some chocolate this morning. I don't eat the sweet stuff but prefer 85%. So I am not sure if that's a sugar craving. I am thinking it may be linked to the cold that has developed since I got back home this afternoon - sore and tight throat, bunged up nose and a stinking headache. Maybe there is something in chocolate that my body wants to help fight the cold. It's not getting it!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
