1. No
2. No

By the way, why is someone who weighs only 107-lbs worried about her weight, unless you are worried about losing any more? You stated in another post you were once down to 85-lbs due to an eating disorder and you were in panic mode last month when you gained 2-lbs in a week. It sounds as if you have not entirely recovered from your eating disorder and need to see a doctor.

This is a concern.

OP, IME it is common to perceive a craving for sugar or refined carbs generally if you are feeling low energy--tired or experiencing cycles of spike and crash due to an overconcentration of carbs in someone susceptible (you don't have to be insulin resistant to be susceptible to that) or perhaps because you are undereating in general.

I used to experience this a lot when I would eat high carb breakfasts or lunches and then feel like I needed a pick-me-up in the middle of the day, and I still sometimes get it when I let myself get overtired, although now that I'm more sensitive to the fact that I'm just tired I can usually ignore it or have a cup of coffee.

Given your history, though, I'd be concerned that you are maybe being too restrictive or that it might be a psychological reaction to restriction. I hope your doctor knows all the details, and good luck.

No and no........NOOOOOOOOOO

Yeah. But in my case it was because i was used to it. This happens especially when i come home from school, because i usually have a small lunch (bout 160 cals) and i will then be dying to have some food as my blood sugar will be low. Then i'll just have something to eat and drink tea till i don't crave carbs anymore.

1. Yes and no. I used to have cravings. Big cravings; if it wasn't chocolate, it was in the form of bread, breakfast cereals, and granola bars. Luckily, I don't have those cravings anymore since I went cold turkey on unrefined carbs. The only exception is when I'm stressed out with work or school, then I go out and look for anything sweet to consume.
2. No. I only bloat when I eat too much or intake too much salt.

It's an addiction! Stop eating sugar for 21 days and you will not crave it after that. Been there! v

By definition sugar is not truly an addictive substance. Although there are millions of people out there that seem to have significant cravings for the stuff. There are studies pointing both ways but as of right now, you are not addicted to sugar.

1. At one time I had strong cravings for sugar.
2. There is no good reason for retaining water after eating a carbohydrate.

2a. Although, if you are becoming insulin resistant, higher levels of insulin can be associated with increased levels of the steroid hormone aldosterone which causes fluid retention.
