    Not straight sugar, but chocolate. Good luck!

    OMG. no! People eat straight sugar? Ugh. I can only imagine it would taste revolting. Try drinking diet coke instead - It will give you your 'sugar fix' but is practically zero calories. XOXO

    You are possibly craving brown sugar for the iron content?

    I've been known to succumb to this in the evening, I believe it's a combination of cold weather and exhaustion making me crave carbs for instant energy.

    I crave sugar too, but I'll reach for a spoonful of peanut butter instead if I'm really famished.
    Keep in mind when you reach for that brown sugar that you are sabotaging your diet. Try reaching for a healthy alternative like peanut butter or fruit if your are truly hungry (not just having a craving). Mind over matter! You can do it and you'll be happy you did once your pants start to get looser :)

    I have an intense sugar craving as well. Never want it by the spoonful, but if I have something with a high sugar content, I eat so much of it that I make myself sick. It's really bad so I try to avoid all sugars to stop it. Most of the time, staying away helps. I am worried I have diabetes or something - I think you should get bloodwork, I am next month.

    well... yes and no. im sure eating straight sugar isnt that good for you. a 12 ounce coke has 49 grams of sugar in it. 5 teaspoons of bornw sugar have 20. im sure its not good for you but whats the difference in raw sugar and in having 6 ounces of coke? oh right. 6 ounces of coke hjave more sugar.
