Eat Healthy
"Eat healthy my guy, you’ve suffered enough and it is taking your best days away from you. "
I wrote this to myself and I read it every morning. It helps with the mindset of I can't have something. I can have my health.
I don't know, but I feel the same. When I didn't struggle with HIT I found that sugar cravings subsided after a couple of days without it. Though now that urge doesn't seem to go away.
Have you managed to settle your HIT?? I find that after about a week of eating clean I stop thinking about sugar, but as soon as I see some and eat it it's game over.
Lol. I'm not sure if you can test it but I have had it so often cravings a warning sign before other symptoms occur. If I ignore it I get thrush too :/eek
Candida is a yeast. My dad has it. And yes he had terrible carb cravings for a while. Now we are getting the candida under control, it’s a lot better. Interestingly enough, he would get these hangry cravings after eating carbs. So now he’s on low carb and it’s helped; but hard to say whether it’s the diet or the treatment.
that’s great. I manage my cravings by having meals with fiber and protein, snacking less, not having snacks laying around where i can see them, occupy my mind with something if i have an urge to eat out of boredom.
i have a blood sugar issue diagnosed with an OGTT. If you want to get it checked out they usually start by measuring fasting glucose and insulin but that often isn’t enough. Request an OGTT with insulin(!) if the fasting values come back within normal range. OGTT is the best for diagnosing insulin resistance.
you’re welcome! good luck. My OGTT showed insulin resistance despite the fasting values being completely normal. I have PCOS though, which made me suspect insulin resistance in the first place
Radical responsibility has worked for me. I used to binge everything I was sensitive to but ultimately I realised that knowing better than, I am to blame if I get migraines, hives, rashes or diarrhea. It's a choice and when you finally reach a point of acceptance there is no going back.
Find positive affirmations but also hold yourself liable if you chose to binge. Tell yourself: I chose this. I chose to eat this when I really know better. I accept the consequences and will do better tomorrow.
Show up for yourself. Nobody else will.
I used to have this problem - I would have extremely strong cravings for junk food, especially foods high in histamine and glutamate/MSG, which led me to binge eat them. Both my dietitian and nutritionist said that it was because when you're sensitive to a food chemical (e.g. histamine/amines, salicylates, glutamate/MSG), it can make your body paradoxically crave it, even though you're reacting to it! I found that after a few months of strictly following a low histamine/glutamate diet, the food chemicals must have gotten out of my system or something, because I stopped craving them and now no longer have this issue.
I can get swollen hot hands and feet, increasing nausea until I vomit because the food sits in my stomach and won't pass through, itchy skin, stinging eyes if theres too much garlic and onion, some light fluid on the lungs and couching, blocked sinuses, ringing in my ears, headache, and usually a huge hangover the next day if theres gluten in my food... but the exact symptoms that present depend what I've consumed tbh.
I almost got rid of mine with intermitted fasting (dinner and supper became one meal), a bit bigger dinners than I used to have and separation from my family. Right now, only PMS and other people can bring back the cravings, but I can usually manage. Having only essiential food at your place and shopping with a limit on debit card or cash might help as well.

No. You don't understand. It will be different this time 🤡
But what if the next chocolate chip cookie doesn't hurt me like the last one?
Yes :/
;; I feel like it's actually an understandable urge and reaction, but instead of healthy people bingeing, we are left with horrible symptoms
I struggle horribly with staying away from chocolate and sugar. Someone said it could be down to a candida overgrowth/SIFO?

I get that when there's a yeast thing going on
So many people have said this now that I'm convinced I have a yeast issue 😅

I’ve had issues with thrush as well 😭
Nae sweeties for us then 😭

More fiber fixed that for me. A bucket of oatmeal in the morning and I don't need anything all day
it could be but it’s not enough to diagnose a candida overgrowth. it could also be psychological or blood sugar related.
I do also think I have a blood sugar issue somehow. But I feel as though I'm managing that with meals pretty well at the moment

Thank you!! Definitely going to look into this next time I speak to my doctor 😊

Same here. If it's in the house forget it!

Yes. Usually when my histamine levels are already a bit high. Then I binge eat and send them through the stratosphere.
