    Stay strong, Craig! That's my problem time, too. Most days I can circumvent cravings by elaborately flossing and brushing and mouth-washing but there are times where simple carbs win the battle :(

    tell yourself you can eat, but just not now, you can again tomorrow...... this ALWAYS works for me.

    Ultimately, it's up to you to refuse to give. Otherwise, you risk not only backsliding, but trouncing on the progress you've made. Just put your head in that space and it won't be so bad. Eat when it's time to eat. An entire world out there is feasting away by following its cravings, and look where it ended up? Be proudly going in the opposite direction. "You can have what you want..but not now."

    When did you start?

    The second week of December when my wife found out she was diabetic (although there were a few 'off' days over the Christmas period ;) )

    The biggest change in lifestyle has been cutting down the booze (currently doing a dry January) as we were drinking most evenings beforehand.

    I finally got around to doing a blood glucose test on myself this morning (I tend to have an ostrich mentality when it comes to my health and I haven't even been to a doctor about anything in the last 7/8 years!). I was pleased to see that it was bang in the middle of the normal range :)

    I also took a blood pressure reading and that was in the normal range too.

    I'm loving the OMAD life. Last night I ate a large plate of Beef Chili with nachos, cheese, salsa, avocado and sour cream. It felt like a treat/feast without any guilt or regrets attached as I still ended the day on about 1100 cals! I even stepped on the scales this morning (I normally only weigh in once a week) and it was down a pound from yesterday!.....Happy days :)

    That is a tremendous loss since mid Dec! Sorry to hear about your wife's diagnosis. This diet has been real good for me also! Keep up the good work!
