Decipher Cause: Smell is strongest memory trigger. Avoid walking into hamburger joint, candy store--may stir up childhood memories of comforting foods. Eat well rounded:protein, fiber, enriched carbs, salads & fruit. Hydrate. Lots of sleep and regular exercise (one hour a day) helps reduce craving! talk about your daily plan; journal what you ate. Healthy substitutes: yogurt, fruit, nuts instead of candy.

Take Metformin: Metformin is an Insulin receptor sensitizer. It is a virtual "metabolic rejuvenator, " with multiple beneficial effects. When taken in doses ranging from 1, 000-2, 000 mg per day, carb cravings are quickly overcome. Although it requires a prescription in the U.S., it can be legally purchased and imported from mail-order international pharmacies without a prescription.
