The first few days when the carbs are leaving my system I crave really strange things that I don't normally eat. Like cherry pie, frosting in the can, and tiramesu (sp?). Has anyone else had that kind of experience?? It goes away after about 48-72 hours, but it's a real uphill battle during that time.

I think they say you have those cravings for sweets because your body is lazy-- it doesn't want to have to work so hard to turn your food into energy-- and doesn't like having to work hard on the protein and fat.

tiramesu

It's easy to crave tiramisu! I think that it must be what the Bible describes as manna! ;^)
