I rarely crave sugar or sweet things of any kind. My cravings lean toward potatoes & bread & that sort of thing. I haven't been giving in to the cravings, but I do have a little carb at each meal. I have my cereal in the morning, a wrap thingie at lunch & usually some potatoes or such with dinner. I used to like to eat 5-6 smaller meals each day, but with this job it's too hard to schedule that. Granny eats 3 meals so I just eat around the same time.
I'm having some mouth pain right now, so I had to let my cereal sit in the yogurt to soften it this am. Soft foods for a couple of days & I should be ok.
My Sir has Type 2 diabbetes so it is crucial that he limits his carb intake and he loves this recipe. I am getting really good at figuring out how to prepare delicous meals without his feeling unsatisfied. He has lost 30 pounds in 5 months since I have been cooking for me, his Doctor was so pleased!  . So anyway, here it is.
Better Fake Mashed Potatoes
Serves:10 **So halve it for you, plus it freezes well, really.
CarbsPerServing: 6 total recipe
Effort:Easy
Ingredients:
1 head cauliflower
4 to 6 tablespoons butter *depends on you, I use olive oil
1 teaspoon pepper — up to
1 tablespoon
How to Prepare:
Cook 1 head of cauliflower until very soft. MASH all the water out of it through a screen mesh colander (If you skip this step you get cauliflower soup).. Add butter and considerable pepper (min 1 teaspoon up to a tablespoon - careful it goes from perfect to HOT very fast). Whip with mixer or in food processor, re-heat if necessary. I have served this at parties and no one has known they were not real.
I also add things like garlic, etc. to liven it up if you I want to.
Also, awesome idea on using wraps instead of bread. For Sir, I make him a lot of wraps, and I try and use the spinach ones, or tomato ones, they are better for you. I also stuff the hell out of them with things like chicken, and tons of different textures, like chickpeas, sprouts, and instead of mayo, which he loves, I have been cutting his mayo in half with non fat vanilla yogurt with a squeeze of lemon and lots of pepper. There is also a bread out there, I am not going to lie, it's not delicous, but it's okay, it's called Ezekiel bread, it's better than nothing. It's like a raw unleavened bread, a lot of health food store have it.
But anyway, try the cauliflower mashed, those rock, and congrats on the great work!!!!!

) Part of my problem is that I can't do regular sit-ups or crunches because of an old injury to my tailbone. I can't put any pressure on it at all. All the work out sites and videos want me to do sit ups, crunches, or some other variation of sitting or laying on my tailbone while lifting my legs and/or upper body. Not. Gonna. Happen. 
Taste does not mean i must swallow. The guys will cringe to read this, but i've learned to "spit"
