But for instant treatment, eating something high in protein and fat can curb those cravings like magic. Try a piece of cheese or some tuna with lots of mayo, or something along those lines.
Just do not give in, or you'll be right back where you started. Feeding cravings is like feeding a monster. (Been there, done that. )

I'm going to have to try the L-Glutamine, thank you. It's been about 2 weeks since I've given in. I've decided not to do that again no matter how hard it is.
