low carbs

Question
Hi
I have begun to restrict my carbs and have lost a little weight,however,I get enormous cravings for carbs in the afternoon and evening.I dont really enjoy fruits or veggies but I eat some daily to control my cravings for carbs.Is there anything ese I can snack on to replace carbs?

Answer
Hi Barry,

It depends on what diet you are on. Different low carb diets limit carbohydrate intake to different degrees: from 20 g a day on Atkins induction to no quantitative limitations (only "bad" TYPE of carbs is prohibited) on South Beach diet.

A stricter limitation usually results in faster *decrease* of the cravings. On our Fat Burning Index diet, with very few exclusions, dieters get rid of carb cravings during their first week on the diet -- even if they don't lose weight. Usually, it goes along with increased energy levels.

Snack recommendations vary from diet to diet. We offer a "free" food list of several dozens foods allowed at any time, any amounts.

To answer  your question better I'll need to know more about your dieting history and your diet. Please don't hesitate following up with this question to tell me more, or contact me at dietandbody.com/mfeedback.html
