stuck in a carb binge - how to break free from the cravings?

For the first week in my life i went the whole week without touching anything high in carbs or fat.
until today i had mcdonalds. and an hour after, even though i was stuffed im now craving other high carb foods..
It just goes to show if u dont eat ot u wont crave it..
u just need to stop eating it. and eventually ul want it but it wont be a big craving!
all i can say to help..

Abstinence from foods you like don't stop cravings. In fact for many it increases them. Then when people cave, then binge because subconsciously they'll feel that they won't get it again. Seen it time and again.
I don't deny myself anything. I'll just have a little, then eat good the rest of the day and comp the calories through activity and exercise.

I have this problem too, from time to time (which you should interpret to mean as "most of the").

Here are a few things that help me:

1/ Making sure I never get low blood sugar by eating very regularly, and before I'm actually hungry. When I actually hit hunger, I'm usually low blood sugar and it's the body's JOB to get sugar or some sort of sugar (like carbs which convert rapidly) quickly.

2/ Making sure to always have plenty of protein at each meal and snack.

3/ Giving myself the most well-rounded meals and snacks possible. This means protein, fat (both of which are satiating and very helpful with urges to blow it), veggie/fruit, and sometimes carbs, and sometimes healthy gut promoters (i.e. kefir, yogurt or unpasteurized sauerkraut) which also help with digestion.

When my meals and snacks are well-rounded, I get an overall sense of "ah, that feels just right". It's an emotional and psychological sense of satisfaction that i don't get when I'm skimping or making less-balanced choices.

4/ Finally, my health food store sells these pills that are for glucose management, and they are helpful for any person who ever binges. Ask your health food store and I bet they have something like this too. Basically, if I DO eat some sugary thing or massive amounts of carbs, and especially if I eat white pasta / not whole grain, I take 1-2 capsules, and they stretch out and slow down the blood sugar spike that is coming to my body more evenly. This way, I don't get the highs and lows associated with sugar and carbs, and I don't feel physically yucky. Remember, it's jerking around our blood sugar with crazy handfuls of chocolate / white bagels in a stomach that has no protein that is the direct path to diabetes later. These pills help when I just don't have any other food around and am desperate, or when I'm simply binging (we all do it).

5/ I try to keep enough healthy foods on hand and try to remember to eat them in time. Ounce of prevention being worth more than a pound of cure. This is where i get caught up because my schedule is erratic. As much as I'm able, I try to plan out my foods and have them prepared - this makes all the difference in satiety, which is what you need if you truly want to prevent binges.

6/ White flour products, like white bread, white bagels, white pasta, white rice.... are evil substances in our bodies, especially if they're not coupled with protein and fat. They give us the blood sugar surges and the binges and generally mess everything up. So, when possible, I choose the whole-grain version of those items.

If you love bagels, why not try to find a whole-grain version, and then have protein with it? Not just jam, which just exacerbates the sugar problem. Have nutbutter on top, or cheese, or some meat on the side at the same time.
