    I think that i have this problem, but its not just confined to sweet things.
    I was going to start something on it to see if anyones else is experiencing the same thing...

    I am fine during the day, but as soon as the evening hits i could eat anything and everything.
    An example, last night i had lasagne for dinner (home made and very heathly), then still wanting to eat more (but NOT HUNGRY AT ALL) i had 2 slices of toast with aioli and cheese and then still not satisfied i had a massive bowl of fruit salad and natural yoguhurt.... about an hour later i found a startburst suck and had that too.
    Its insane, i just cant stop eating. I need help before i become the size of a house!!!

    Chromium tablets are awesome for helping you through your sugar cravings.
    I am on a low carb diet atm, and my body usually craves carbs/sugars, but because I am taking a good multi vitamin with chromium added, my cravings are non exsistant. I know I have lost weight, but I am not weighing myself for a month... My rings are feeling loose and that is always the first sign of weight loss for me. I'm only on day 3!

    Yep, me too and its BAD!!! I have given up chocolate and a few other things, dairy included for DS (bf'ing and it affects him badly) and I have noticed that I am really craving sugar. I usually get a fair bit with dairy, like a chocy milk, yogurt, icecream....and I luuuurrrve my chocolate! But I haven't been able to have it and boy have I noticed, I have been having sugary drinks instead, cordial, juice, when noramlly I have water all day and don't like sugary drinks cause they don't satisfy my thirst. Me thinks I will join this band wagon!
