Just thought I would say hello to everyone. This is my 2nd week on the SB diet. It was a rough go because I am a carb-aholic and candy addict! I haven't a scale at home, so I am going over to a girlfriends house tonight to weigh in. *fingers crossed* I have been reading through the past threads, and a can't believe the love and support shown here. It is amazing. If I can be of any support to anyone please let me know. How long has it been taking you guys to get rid of the cravings of the junk? Anyways, I hope to report good news tomorrow!
Welcome hunney. i'm with Ellis.It took about 2 weeks. I Am able to satisfy my craving for sweets with the FF fudgesicles or the ricotta desserts. Good luck. Julie
Yup, Ellis and Glinda are right ... 2 weeks will do it ... (then you get to add them back in slowly ... once you're used to doing without you get them back ... where's the justice???)
I'm was a major candy addict too and except for a few slips with no sugar added candy I haven't been craving at all!!!
Welcome Hunney!! It's nice to meet you, I'm glad you found us! This is the best place to come for support and advice! I've been on the beach for about 5 weeks, and love it. Like you, I am a major carb addict! For me, the first couple of days of eating this way were the worst in terms of cravings, and they gradually tapered off over the couple of weeks I was on Phase 1.
Be sure to post on the daily thread! And good luck on your weigh-in tonight!!
Welcome to the beach, Hunney
My cravings have always been for chips and popcorn rather than sweets, but those cravings left after about 2 weeks. I have been on SBD since June 9th. Although I will occassionally have a few tortilla chips at the Mexican restraunt and twice had some 98% FF microwave popcorn, the CRAVINGS are gone
I'm New!
Anyways, I hope to report good news tomorrow!
