Just wondering - a lot of threads have talked about how cetain foods (Aspartame, frankenfoods etc...) will often result in carb cravings. My question is this - is there a downside to the cravings, other than the increased desire to cheat?

Thanks in advance for any help!

There is no physical negative effect, but cravings are not a pleasurable experience by any means. I would also guess that increased cravings would: 1) increase the chances of cheating, 2) increase the chances of someone chucking the whole WOL when the induction period weightloss slows down.
