I found the best way to handle cravings was to not feed the beast.

When it comes to food, "indulging myself" did not work because some foods were creating the problems I was trying to solve. Most people seem to have some trigger food, or even an intolerance, which will sabotage our efforts. This can also have profound effects on our mood, too.

For me, it's about what carbs I eat, just as much as how many.
