It's day three of eating primal, just after lunch. And the cravings have hit. HARD. All I can think about is my poison of choice - Cadburys Dairy Milk with hazelnuts. Last week when the carb carzy was in full swing I ate 250g family size bar a DAY.
When I did Atkins the first nine meals were generally enough to get me into ketosis and start to stop cravings. I am a bit worried that with the Primal Blueprint, with more carbs including fruit, that cravings will stick around longer.
So I'm posting here to set myself up with some accountability. The longer I do this the less of a probablem these cravings will be. I know this, but yet my brain is screaming at me to eat something sugary - like the Dairy Milk. I don't have any, but I do have some old orange marmalade in a cupboard which would go great on some hot buttered toast with a cup of tea.
I will not give in!
Having said that any ideas for tackling cravings gratefully recieved!
About Me
- Primal Rolla
- This blog combines a very old thing (eating and living primally) with a relatively new thing (roller derby). Random ranting, kickboxing and thwarted cat ownership thrown in. I am woman in her late 20s trying not to be too insane about food. I try to live primally, but much of the time the emphasis is on the try. I live with a lovely man in a tiny flat with too many books and no cats.

Just came across your blog and have been playing around with the Primal Blueprint myself and I know if I crave carbs(chocolate :)) I'm not getting enough fat(or it's that time of the month lol). Add fat to everything and take lot's of fish oil.
Thanks for making the first comment Muslfetish! I think you're right - I have cut dairy since going primal and need to replace the fat I got from cream, cheese and mayo. I don't take fish oil, but need to look into it.
