I use to do the same thing! That was when I was really strict with my eating. I am not saying that I did not gain a lot in learning to eat paleo by being strict, but when I "cheated", I binged! And, the results were NOT pretty! Severe headaches, GI problems, sinus problems (where I could not breathe through my nose all night!), etc. I basically felt like total CRAP! And, then I would get super strict all over again!
Now I don't fret the (very small) "cheats" that I do on the rare occasions... AND (and this MAY BE the most important thing) I allow myself 20 oz of really good coffee with whipping cream every morning! I have a very nice burr grinder, and put the BEST coffee beans in there! I make 20 oz of fresh ground goodness every morning, and put plenty of whipping cream in (NEVER any sugar!) and it is HEAVEN! That treat alone has kept me from craving sweets and other junk more than anything else I have ever employed! So... needless to say, even though it is NOT paleo, I CANNOT (at least at this time) give up my morning coffee with cream! I really look forward to the day when I can give this up! But, right now I am too afraid I would end up really craving some other JUNK treat! Any advice on how to give this stuff up?
And I agree... SAD is SO sad!!!!! Can we say - "Drug Dealers, Inc."!!!
