My l*rd it was good! There was birthday cake at work. I decided to eat about an inch square piece. Mind you I haven't had any sweets except fruit for weeks, and prior to that I ate lots and lots of sugar. I have not even been craving sweets, but after that piece of cake I had an enormous craving for more. I had another slightly larger piece and still wanted more! I felt I could devour the entire cake. It really surprised me-- I wasn't even hungry before I ate the cake. I realized I had to stop.. so I drank a big glass of water and went back to work. An hour later I was practically overcome with the aroma of icing, from the little dab left on the plate. I had to take the plate to the trash in another room.
I think I'm not ready for moderate sweet intake. Back to abstinence.
But generally I've adapted to the healthy diet, and I feel better when I eat lots of vegetables and lean protein, and not so much carbs and fat. I start to feel out of sorts if I don't get enough salad in a day. I never would have thought I'd be craving salad.
The other odd thing.. I never used to like oranges, except juiced. Now I love them! They've become my favorite treat.
