I think your right about Broccoli causing cravings in some people.

In the CALP book Broccoli and Cauliflower are both listed as Craving-Reducing Foods. (page 121) However, Broccoli is highlited with the following comment:

"If you are particularly sensitive to carbohydrates, you may find that these foods can cause rebound cravings or reduced weight loss. If so, or if you have concern, eliminate them or save them for Reward Meals only.

I happen to love both of those veggies and have found that I can put a *little bit* on my salad. I do not eat a large amount of either one of them in my Craving-Reducing meals.

I don't add up my daily carbs. I do keep a close eye on the individual carb counts of what I eat. When I have some of those "borderline" carb foods I am just eating a small amount anyway. I can't imagine having more than one servings worth.

Ya'll have a wonderful day!
