Jeff,

I am pretty sure the cravings are a BE reaction to your work outs

Write out what a typical workout actually means....

for the weights, what you do....weight and reps
and for the cardio, what that means. what, intensity and time.

Betcha didn't think I knew about all that.

The cravings come every 4 days (3
: days if my workout is heavy),
: sometimes in the morning, but
: usually late in the afternoon.
: Some days they are really intense.

: Here is my food journal. You can see
: that I really stuffed myself at
: dinner on Day 4. This seems to be
: the pattern. Nothing weird in my
: food journal that I can pick out.
: Feeling pretty good all day and
: then boom that night (wanting
: sugar).
