"Don't deprive yourself then and have a treat..." If I do, it'll take me out of ketosis and set me back two or three days. And any sugar could spark a huge binge. I need new coping methods to deal with emotions; ones that don't revolve around food. Right now I can't think about anything else. I'm not hungry. I just want to gorge myself on carb rich junk until I feel sick. Then wait an hour and gorge some more. I hate this! | |||

" No one's 'pandering' to anyone. Any diet I've ever been on has said moderation is key, starving yourself of something just makes you crave it more. If there are illness related reasons for not being able to eat certain things then fair enough, but the opening post didn't say that | |||

My sister swears by these fruit lolly things you get in Lidl, they're really low fat but tasty. Maybe it's more the taste you need than the actual sugar? " It's sugar I'm craving but if I have any the house of cards will fall down and I'll be emptying local supermarkets of junk food within half an hour. I'm going cold turkey because I can't do moderation. I'm not hungry. I need to find something to do to make me feel better, other than the short term rush of sugar. I wasn't clear in the opening post. I thought saying it's comfort/emotional eating I want would explain but I forget most people can't relate to using food for comfort. My eating pattern is very broken. Think alcoholic - craves alcohol when tired/stressed/unhappy/wants to celebrate but can't have just one. I'm like that with sugar. I've not had any sugar at all now for weeks, (I'm deliberately not counting). | |||

I enjoy walking a dog if it is enjoying the walk but I dislike walking for the sake of it. Walking is a transport method without a dog. | |||

"Have some protein. It's not worth getting out of ketosis for. It'll take days to get back in and you'll have wasted that time. Have a brew, that helps. Go for a walk. Small goals- tell yourself you can have something at 6.30. Then see if you can go till a new goal of 7pm. Think of how horribly sick you'll feel if you eat crap. Have a bath and a face pack. Then have another walk, keep out of the kitchen. You can do it!!!! " Thank you. And thank you everyone else, even if I'm saying your suggestions won't work. I appreciate the thought. I'm working on fixing a broken eating pattern and ways of cheering myself up/celebrating/whatever. Addicts normally get rehab and counselling but sugar/food addicts don't have much support available. Please excuse me for leaking my wobble on here! | |||

"Another couple of things. Are you any good at visualisation? Imagine the binge, everything you'll eat, all in real time. Think about how it tastes. And the more you eat the sicker you feel. Bloated, headache, stomach ache, really full, feeling totally crap. You get the binge in your head and the feeling crap puts you off in reality. It helps me to smell food. Weird as it sounds, have a really good smell of it. Fill your lungs and hold it there for a second. Deep breaths of the smell. I find it takes away the craving.

I fell off the wagon but it could have been a lot worse, all things considered, and today is another day.
I do actually feel better for it, so maybe it's not such a bad thing. It has set my progress back a few days, but it's not the end of the world. | |||

There are better sources of info and diet plans which are more likely to be healthy. I'm a fan of low carb (for me - it isn't for everyone) but not a fan of Atkins. My experience of Atkins is that it says a lot about what not to eat without providing enough information about ensuring a good balance in what one does eat. | |||
