i keep getting carbohydrate cravings, really badly all the time. ive managed to get myself overweight because i eat too many breads, pasta cereal and all that. i know its bad but im not sure what i should have when i get a huge carb craving........


that isnt phrased quite how id have liked... but yeah.

Just eat good carbs? Stuff like wholemeal bread & pasta isn't so bad. If you have issues with carbs you can still eat that stuff, just don't over do it.

well if you excersise regularly or study hard then you shouldn't feel guitly about carb-loading, now if youre wasting them then feel guilty as hell, proteins are a good substitute or use some more wholesome calories like brown breads and wholegrain cereals, sugars and pastas are often 'empty calories' in other words they only satisfy your cravings for a half an hour then you need more. Oatmeal or porrige is great

yeah cool good idea. i think its that i eat too many thats the problem. the protein idea isnt so bad......

if you want to eat healthy/lose weight then you should be substituting the following things.

white rice > brown rice
any bread > wholewheat bread
pasta > wheat pasta
frosted cereal > wholewheat or bran cereals.

you should also try to eat more green veg and yams, sweet potatoes and oats (porridge in the morning).

but you'll never kick the suag rush unfortunatly, every couple of days I make myself have a bowl of sugary cereal, or a big whack of chocolate, something like that, so I'm not going insane craving it.
