i go all day trying to eat a healthy diet and do great until I get home then while I'm cooking dinner I'll fell hungry so I'll grab a small piece of some junk(either a cookie or a peice of chocolate). Next thing you know I can't stop and I'v devoured 500 calories of ****. The simple solution is just not to have any junk in the house but I have kids so I have to have something. Anybody else deal with are there any tricks to beat it. My wife says I have a disorder but I just think I'm weak.

It gets easier.
If you can turn it down a few times, your cravings for it will go down. I used be have some "treat" almost every day. But overtime I just kind of weeded it out, and now I never crave anything bad for me. And feel bad if I do eat anything bad for me. I work in a pizza place, 5 nights a week, and get served free pizza, everynight, and sit there and wach everyone eat it, while I eat tuna sandwiches. However I havnt had a peice of pizza in over a year. I think this experience has really helped me build up my will power."Change is Inevitable, Progress Isn't"

I personally that will lead to failure. I will NEVER cut out the foods I love to eat. If I want a piece of pizza I will plan ahead for it. I personally believe allowing these foods in once a while does the body AND mind good.Originally posted by Zen_Lifter

If it is the chocolate flavor you are after, try extra dark chocolate (70%+ cocoa). One small square won't have many calories, but packs a lot of chocolate flavor.

Another trick I forgot to mention. Make sure you are not hungry. When I'm really hungry my willpower goes down. Snack on something healthy before you get hungry.

I agree... you will have cravings... but don't let yourself get HUNGRY... there is a difference... when your stomach feels bad becasue it's hungry... you are probably not eating enough...Originally posted by skinnyboy

another trick is to cut out dextrose from your post-workout shake and have a meal 45min. later with a ****load of veggies... this will also allow you to have more carbs throughout the day...
a good bro said this, quote:
"If you are going to eat carbs, I would make sure that you get yor carbs worth. By that I mean you should get enjoyment from them. The diet you describe is completely absent of any carbs with the exception of the oatmeal (which is VERY hig in carbs) Then you are starving yourself of any carbs throught the day and supplementing with dextrose. To m, it doesn't make sense. Any benefit from low carb is lost with your supplementation of the dextrose and the ingestion of the oatmeal.
For a lower number of carbs you can eat some veggies and you will get so many other benefits from nutrients that you may be missing through supplementation.
To keep it low you are much better off with brocolli (2grams of effective carbs / half cup), cellery (1 gram/stalk), cauliflower (1.5 grams effective for 6 pieces), and you can have 2.5 cups of watercress and only get 1 gram of carb. My point is that you can eat more of those foods and still keep your carb count and fat count way down. Its more productive carbs because when you eat them it will fill you up so you wont be hungry.
If you ate nothin but sugar cubes all day long with vitamins, you would have enouugh vitamins and nutrients to survive for a long tie. What's more you wouuld be on a low fat diet. I doubt you would lose much weight, and you would still be hungry. To me starving yourself of carbs anbd then supplementing with dextrose comes pretty close to what you are suggesting."
take this to heart...

Was craving chocolate like crazy, did some research and was possibly due to having a Magnesium Deficiency so being 40 as well I started to take a ZMA supplement to kill 2 birds with one stone and the results have been good so far, boosting Test with the zinc and losing those insane chocolate cravings.
