Interesting. I’ve had little luck with that in the past, due to carb cravings. A few days ago, though, I googled “craving raisins and cheese” (my usual craving) and found a page that suggested this (and other sweets-cravings) were likely a need for tryptophan.
So, yesterday and today I’ve been taking some L-tryptophan and it seems to have knocked my carb cravings down a bunch; I’ve not had a compelling urge to eat anything sweet today as yet.
I used to desire carbs, but not particularly more than fats. My appetite for carbs has almost disappeared though. When I look at a plate of rice and beans, my body gives me the “that’s not food. I don’t want it” feeling.
Thanks for the L-tryptophan tip. I might get some and test it on some carb loving friends.
