I'm addicted to Sugar! Looking for Nutritionist who can help!
Hi All,
I had lap band surgery about 3 years ago. In the last year, I've put back 10 lbs despite keeping up the exercise. The biggest problem is I've allowed sugar to creep back into my diet - cookies, cake, cupcakes mostly. At least one "treat" daily.
I MOUTH CRAVE sugar and I compare it to what a smoker must feel . Especially after a meal I CRAVE sugar and sometimes it is very hard to get off my mind.
I really want to find a local nutritionist who can help me with sugar addiction. I do NOT want to use the hospital nurtitionists as I've not been impressed or felt helped.
I've had a number of fills. Portion control is not the answer.
Anyone know a good nutritionist who would specialize in this?
Thanks so much!

Bobbi,
Have you tried the sugar-free "sweets"? Also, I bake with splenda and the food is great and no sugar! Other than what comes from milk if used. If you can't cut the addiction, at least change the type of sweet. You could make a batch of brownies or cupcakes (you can make your own frosting with splenda also) and individualize them so you can grab one and still feel like you aren't depriving yourself. I can't tell you their names but... When I was trying to lose weight years ago, the nutritionists at Exeter Hospital were EXTREMELY helpful. It's not Portsmouth so you may want to give them a shot? Hope this helps!
