Greetings & Salutations Everyone!! 
I'm in need of a little help here please.
I'm finding that I can't do this on my own anymore.
In my opinion, not only am I carb sensitive, but I am addicted to carbs as well. Kind of an oxy-moron right? I'm trying to go low-carb.
I am switching over to a low carb diet. I'm finding it to be a struggle because even though I didn't realize it, I am addicted to carbs. If I eat a crappy meal with a lot of carbs & empty calories, about an hour later I am craving more carbs. And not good carbs either. Like potato chips.
Since I am trying to lose a significant amount of weight and get my bg's under control, how do I get a grip on these cravings & withdrawls when they hit?
I actually get cranky & shakey from the withdrawls. If I eat a breakfast of scrambled eggs & veggies (nonstarchy) sauted in coconut oil, with smoked turkey slices and a 1/2 cup of unsweetened applesauce, (in otherwords high protien) I get shakey and light headed. It scares me. And if I consume any kind of unhealthy fats I feel sickly, then I make a few trips to the bathroom.
As of tomorrow I start a journal. I'm keeping track of not only my bg's, but my weight, food intake, and also how I am feeling.
It takes a week to make a new habit, but how long does it take to BREAK old ones? I have two months to prove to myself and my Endo that I can do this WITHOUT anymore dang pills! My next labs are scheduled for August 15th.
