I've switched over from the IR Diet to PP and have been doing really well keeping my carbs to 20 or 30 a day. I feel great....no irritablity, no headaches, lots of energy. I don't want sweets. I don't want pasta. BUT I have this unbearable craving for ketchup and bbq sauce....I feel like I could just drink it straight from the bottle! What on earth IS this?

That happens to a few people so you're not alone. They start cravings things that they normally would never have given the time of day to. It's just your body's way of trying to fool you into eating carbage.

LOL....that seems to be it exactly. The bbq sauce craving is subsiding....and now I desperately want a big bowl of sauerkraut. Hmm...maybe sauerkraut with bbq sauce on it... This is so weird!

Are you pregnant?

Mmmm... I love ketchup. Sugar-free, of course. Sometimes I make cheesey mashed cauliflower and put ketchup on it.

I found Heinz makes a great One Carb ketchup sweetened with splenda. It cost the same as its regular ketchup and tasted just as good. Found it at super Walmart
Still trying to find a BBQ sauce without sugar though. You might want to look at the recipe forums. Good luck!
Funny you mention being pregnant... when my mom was pregnant, she craved everything with vinegar... especially sauerkraut and pickles!
