Do you guys have a problem with cravings? I don't usually but when I'm ovulating all reason flies out the window. All I can seem to think about is all the crap food that got me in this situation in the first place and how good it would taste. I'm having a personal battle right now trying to avoid my daughter's birthday cake. Help......

I just hand my 2 nd period since surgery and I turned my cravings toward my shakes! With my mix I can have Reese's cup or a butterfinger cup shake and still have protein. For the first time ever I used midol and stuck to my protein diet worked out twice a day and lost 6 pounds on my period! So put your mind over matter and find the good choices to crave!

What is the recipe for ur shakes?

When I crave something sweet, I have a very, very, tiny piece of what I am craving. It is all about portion control and moeration. If I have something "bad" I workout extra... its kind of a give and take game I play with myself it works for me!

I use body by vi but if you can always mix into a regular vanilla also. Butterfinger I do 8 oz of unsweetened almond milk 2 scoops of vi 2 tbs of sf butterscotch pudding 1 tbs pb2 and 5 ice cubes. Reese's I do 8oz of milk 2 scoops of vi 2 tbs sf pudding and 1 tbs of pb2 ice and mix. You can also add cottage cheese to increase protein and make smoother! Good luck

So far I've been able to resist temptation but it was pretty hard this morning. I had a shake and things got better.

I'm having massive cravings and I'm not hungry. I seem to be snacking too much but not totaling any real calories. I just ate more fruit and that help as well as almonds.

I haven't had surgery yet, but just from past diets, when I have cravings I just try to make a healthy version of that food. A few examples

Tater Tots- Baked Cauliflower Tots (A lot of the recipes have bread crumbs and cheese- I just use egg whites to bind and and garlic and herbs to season)

Cheesecake- Greek Yogurt cheese Cake with an Almond or Hazelnut Crust - Basic quantity for a simple greek yogurt cheesecake is 1 cup greek yogurt to 1 egg- I usually split this in half or fourths. Bake for 40 min @ 350. For the crust just blend up some nuts and or rolled oats in a food processor.

Cheeseburger - use lean meat- mushroom for bun

For ice cream- use almond milk and make a "frosty"

Things like that!
