I have a problem, maybe you can help.

[Lumberg]

Lately I haev been very good as far as caloric and macronutrient intake during the workday.

However for some reason when I get home I get these irresistible urges for sugary things and unhealthy foods.

It's really weird. I end up doing really well during the day and pretty much ruin it at night.

Anyone else have this problem? What did/do you do to fix it?

for sugar, crystal light works wonders. aside from that, the first few days of dieting and eating really clean are tough. i feel like a heroin addict going cold turkey.

Try 5-HTP
Are you overtrained ?
Do you sleep well/enough ?

Get the bad shit out of your residence. If you only have quality food stuff then you cannot go wrong.

I've tried 5-HTP before, worked OK I am on an SSRUI so serotonin levels shoudl not be an issue.

Definitely not overtrained!

And yes I am a sleep Nazi!
