Thank you Susie.

Folks I have another "issue"  Was doing great the first 2 weeks then restarted vigorous exercising (weight training/running etc).  My hunger levels have skyrocketed and I'm craving "the stuff" ( my code for carbs).  Have NOT given in, yet. 

I'm fine when I just walk (3 fastish-5 miles easy pace)or do moderate level calisthenics or even very light weights.  Does this get better?

madoctor,

That used to happen to me shortly after I finished my early morning, daily 5-mile brisk walks.

Cravings can actually be caused by dehydration or the body's increased need for protein after a workout.
Right after your workouts, drink a tall glass of cold (ice) water and a low carb protein shake.
Then, take your shower.
By the time you get out of your shower, you should not have any cravings.

This has worked for me for years!

Thanks Tony!

I have been drinking about 100 oz of water everyday because its just become a habit and something I started doing when I was heavier.  I like the idea of a low carb shake.  I usually wait before I have anything until after my shower (and usually get distracted by work).  So I'll try this.

Thanks so much for taking the time to respond.
