This is how you know you're spending too much time in the gym.

I've read that smelling sweet foods can help seet tooths loose weight because they don't need to eat them as much.

I think for me it'd only work if I still ate at the same time - so would have to be able to prepare it earlier - which would be hard because I wouldnt' usually be home.

If I postpone eating when I'm hungry I just get hungrier and then want to eat more - with a sort of tragic, frantic desperation especially with specific cravings oddly enough!

Just recently though i've noticed I don't get chocolate cravings on days when i eat mixed nuts at some stage in the morning.

I'm thinking either the nuts are low GI and have an ability to stop the sugar cravings associated with higher GI intake or there's something in them somewhere I'm lacking that I crave in chocolate.

Thats really interesting and I can apply much of it too myself.

As you mentioned, I think that if food is not timed correctly it will result in one becoming far hungrier.

I find that if I eat directly before or after training it will be completely useless as I'm always straving after training regardless!

I find I can eat far less during the day, but much greater volumes after training in the morning and evening.
And I mean far greater!

I too get specific cravings, but I'm really keeping away from chocolate as best I can

The worst cravings I get are when I'm studying, thank god for peanuts and sultana's or I could lose control sometimes I think.

I always take food with me when I go to the gym. After boxing I have to bike about 7 miles home, if I don't have some food in my bag I'll go insane.

It's marketed here as being a relatively lean meat as long as it's grilled and you don't keep the rind on it.
