*Sigh*, from one addiction to another. Now, i'm on chocolate biscuits. Have eaten nearly 1.5 packets, have put on about 1/2 stone :eeks:

Am going to have to go cold turkey from those too :egad:

Anyone else had this problem?

Am seriously contemplating a 10 day cleansing diet, anyone wanna join me?

You are used to getting your calories from simple sugars hence the biscuits. Trying swopping to fruit, you'll get your easy to absorb calories without excess.
You could also try L-Glut to reduce the sugar cravings.

When I gave up the booze I was very aware of my body craving sugar and was detemnined not to go down that route so I started eating peanuts instead. Now I have a serious peanut problem :H I eat ridiculous amounts of them every night! Like the booze I keep saying to myself "right none tonight" but I always cave in.. Here is someone who has given up cigarettes and booze but cant quit the peanuts!!! AArrrhhh

peanuts chilli! i bloody love peanut butter - eat it by the spoonful.

now change, if you're going to detox please DO NOT buy "Colon Cleanse" (comes with booklet). This Draino substitute is pure on magnesium oxide & when i got it i thought, hey i'm tough, i'll give meself a bit extra.
well i was shitting thru the eye of a needle a t 50 paces within an hour.
lovey, couldn't sit down for 3 days.

now i'm taking "Cleanse-U" a herbal liquid which altho looks & smells like Draino, is seemingly gentler on the system.
As for sweet things, we don't have much in the house!

Chillgirl, LOllllll!

Beagle, i've tried colon cleanse. Went out djing one night, had 5 hours between shifts, felt like going during my first shift, but decided to 'hold on' till after my second shift. Lucky i did, cos when i got home, it was an absolute ka ka bomb, didn't know where all the stuff came from :H. Felt great after being on it for about 5 days, but apparently it's not healthy to stay on it for too long, depletes certain 'good' bacteria if you know what i mean.

I've decided i am going to make some recipes from The Liver Cleansing Diet cooking section. There are some nice things such as banana cake and carrot cake. Have an issue with 'whole wheat flour', but will substitute for almond meal or gluten free flour :thumbs:

I HAVE THAT BOOK & am using it for my dinner tonight....well bugger me!
it is quite handy for some nice recipes though - the prawn fried rice one is really nice.
the banana mousse is surprisingly tasty.
haven't done the carrot cake thingo. got my personal chef Sara lee for that one!
but as i'm not really a sweet tooth i can take or leave sweets.
but straight out dairy milk choccy from cadbury....i'm a goner.

i put on weight when i cut out the booze. i was eating crisps by the bucket load. i was just substituting one thing for another, but for me stopping the booze definately had to be number 1 priority. now that i am mostly sober i can address the eating, and the weight is starting to come down again. just be gentle with yourself, things will work out
