I know how you feel...I was recently diagnosed as a hypoglycemic..my doctor INSISTED I go on a very LC diet. NO Sugar whatsoever. To be honest, even tho I feel 10000x's better w/o carbs, I crave them like crazy. It's weird how cravings drive us, even tho we know something will harm us in the long run...we still want it.
