WRONG CRAVINGS

Just wanted to know why I am craving the wrong foods. Recently I went for my regular blood work and the doctor said that I was anemic, low white blood cell count and not enough protein. He told me to meet with my nutritionist--(which I haven't had time to do) to see about eating more protein. He also told me to take sub-lingual vitamin b-12. Anyway--for about 2 months--I crave bread and chocoloate. I would rather eat sweets than eat real food. That's my problem. Instead of eating food-I eat toast or sweets. I am still managing to slowly lose weight but I can'st stop these cravings. Even when I am asleep-I wake up craving something sweet. Any ideas? Please help.

It's because your protein is low, so your body crave some fuel and the fastest, not the best, are carbs. So find a good protein shake. I Like Protein Delight in Alpine Chocolate. It even has pieces of chocolate in it. It's sweet, thick and very tasty. Drink two or three a day and the carb craving will disappear. I know. Been there. Done it. Nona

Thank you for your help. Where do they sell these protein shakes?

www.vitalady.com is where I go to get this brand. I sent you a private email with more detail. Nona

Hi there Norma, I am always craving the wrong foods. "CRUNCHIES". Chocolate seems to make me feel a bit queasy.My blood work is great. All my levels are fine. I drink "Atkins Advantage" Chocolate Royal . It seems to take away the cravings. Old habits are hard to break. I really never ate the right things all my life.Everyday is a learning experience with this WLS.You made the right step when you decided to do it. Now we must just go.........."ONE DAY AT A TIME" If you wake up with that craving try some Sugar free popsicles.Just remember you are human and I am sure you had these cravings before your WLS. Keep up the great work and keep Lorraine
