Does anyone else experience this?

I have been having nausea and the overwhelming urge to eat carbohydrates. I eat them and then i feel better.. MUCH BETTER. Is this addiction, or physiological need?

Possibly alittle of both.  Try substituting taste for the carbs. Put hot salsa (or tapatio sauce on carbless stuff. I just made (last night) veggie crisps out of zucchini in my dehydrator. Crunchy little slivers of zucchini with Mesquite Veggie grill spice. And I also tried some White Cheddar popcorn spice on them...Mmmm. Yummy. All the crunch and none of the carbs or calories..I think I'm in heaven.

Sounds yummy! How long do your veggie crisps last (what's the shelf-life)?

Do you put the white cheddar popcorn spice on before you dry them or after?

I put the spice on before I dried it. It sticks better that way.. I'm not sure what the shelf life is like on them..>I ate one whole zucchini today for my snack (dried) and I'llprobably eat the whole other one tomorrow...LOL. They won't last long with me.  I do put them in a ziplock bag. I don't think I'd have to since humidity here isn't a prob but I do anyway.

OK - one last question...where do you get the white cheddar popcorn seasoning?

I've been searching for it locally since I got a sample at my support group meeting...they have it on line at www.nomorenakedpopcorn.com

Hey Dawn... Put a little white rice in a tea bag or cheese cloth and keep large batches of dried stuff in a cookie tin or baggie I suppose...haven't tried baggies...The rice soaks up any moisture and keeps the stuff fresher...I keep rice in my salt shakers too...It really works!

Can you check your blood sugar when this happens. Just a thought it might be low blood sugar.

Hi Mel, Very interesting dilema...could you be hypoglycemic?

sounds like hypoglycemia. Michells always singing the" drink your protein shakes song"....at least 3-4 a day. when you take your calcium, take about 4ozs of water, mix in your protein and use it to swallow those big old pills or put your upcal D in it. Michelle told me to make sure I drink protein so I won't get those carb cravings-and it works-9 months I've been doing it. vicki b
