I am posting this on behalf of a friend and partially as a point of interest.
I have been LCing for about a month. I feel GREAT! I am NOT a smoker, I am a carb addict and I have had NO cravings ....well, very few and very small!
When my friend listened to me extolling the wonders of this woe, she opted to try it herself. She has about 20-30 pounds to lose.
She says she was always the "skinny kid" and doesn't feel like she is a carb addict, but definitely eats more carbs than not.
Anyway, after a few days of LCing she has had sudden and very intense cravings to smoke. (she hasn't smoked in 3 months!)
She also is not experiencing the same stability of moods and energy that I am experiencing.
So, here's the question or perhaps hypothesis that I would like comments on:
Because she may not be an actual Carb addict, this diet isn't working for her and it is apparently having the reverse effect on the addictive process (?)
Thanks for your comments! :roll:
