Sugar Cravings

[BabySophia]

I have been craving sweets. Normally I'm a salty person, during pregnancy I preferred a piece of cake instead of chips. I thought the cravings would stop. I know yeast in your colon makes you crave sweets. But I also heard nursing makes you crave sweets too.

I've been trying to be good and reach for fruit instead but that cake looks sooo good.

I totally hear ya! I could eat healthy sugars from now 'till the end of time, but it just isn't the same as that fattening, yummy, calorie-laden cake! I've been wanting cake for some time now, but have been resisting eating it. You are right about yeast. I have been on antibiotics twice, since having DD, and each time my cravings for ridiculous sweets turns almost rabid, LOL.

I wish I could help you or give you advice, but if you're coming from the same position I am, NO kind of alternative thinking is going to satisfy the hunger for a big, fat sugar bomb!

Sorry I'm no help.... I've had cake on the brain lately too. The only thing that saves me in the end is that I actually hate the taste.... weird, huh.
