Its hard the first time around you do it...just keep dedicated and it gets easier..funny thing is that you didnt say you crave food or your hungrier..but you crave "carbs" lol..so by eating more protein and veggies wont help your carb crave...

Bro I feel you, I get the same shit, Best bet is to make some chciken breats in advance, Hardboiled eggs (Just Eat The Eag White) Or Tuna Sometimes I also like to take some sleepy times from tylenol non addivtave and no meds inthem like tylanol pm and just take it down

the brain is a powerfull sfuff to handle its not easy.Im no scientist but i bet you that the brain can tell the difference between carbs and protein.The brain is no fool....

I like sugar free popsicles/fudgesicles/sugar free jello to help w/ night time cravings for carbs. Chase it with a big glass of water. If I'm so hungry I can't sleep I'll eat a small bowl of popcorn w/ tabasco sauce.

are you talking serious about all that......

i use the new smuckers natty pb with honey. it only has 3g more carbs per serving than reg pb and tastes 10 times better. you should try it. natty pb always fills me up and satisfies my cravings for junk food and sweets.

I'm the same way... I can handle carb cravings through the day, but once 7:00 rolls around I could kill for a quart or two of ice cream.

First off whoever told you to eat no fat was a moron. I would lower your protein and add in natural peanut butter and Flax oil. Fat will keep you full longer. Even then dieting is hard bro. That's why most people look why they do. They just can't do it.

If that was directed at my post, yes I'm serious(for once). Sugar Free Popsicles only have like 2 grams of carbs each. SF Fudgesicles a bit more. Hardly any in SF jello. Popcorn has carbs but 1 cup has more fiber than an apple so I figure I'll just shit it out anyway.

Popcorn is one of the worst things you can eat while dieting. It's very high GI. Ever wonder why fat chicks on a diet down that shit and never seem to lose any fat?

It should be hard, its a diet. if it was easy then there would not be so many fat people. But, low carb and high protein diet does work wonders. it is especially hard at night as you say. i will be ok during the day but around 7 or 8 all i want is sugar. just keep sticking to it and when you see results it will keep you motivated

Yep add in some fat. suprised you are not craving fat? I eat beef jerky at night if i am dieing.. helps just enough.
some times i will eat some eggs. but it is mostly just time. after a little while the craving will stop. but everytime you cheat u prolong the cravings.. good luck.

I also like some Metabolic Fuel Rx from www.senutrition.com ECA stack good oh ephedra yummy but i would not take at night.. has 25mg epheda but is not listed on the web site. "sneaky fuckers"
