I eat quite a strict low GI diet throughout the day and find that I don't get any cravings for unhealthy food during the day and normally treat myself to icecream at night but find that within half an hour after I eat it I'm suddenly starving and need to eat. I'm wondering if this would be due to the sugar spike and the fact that it's a shock to my system after eating healthily all day long?

Any advice on what I should do because I end up having to eat a piece of multigrain bread to satisfy myself and sometimes I don't really stop at one either!

Stop eating the ice cream and see what happens.

It could absolutely be the problem,

a lot of junk food like ice cream contain a lot of fructose, eating a lot of fructose disrupts the hormones which deal with hunger, often making you hungry.

(Thats why a lot of companies put a lot of fructose in food so youll buy more of their stuff) :0

man I wish I could do that Tony.

my name is FF and I am an ice/choco/brownie aholic.

one trick I have found that helps is more water. I keep a gallon of water around and after my fat free frozen yogurt, single serving I will guzzle water and it helps me not want SO MUCH more.

Ya I love ice cream sandwiches and bars.

Eskimo pies for me.

Someone once told me that Ice Cream had antifreeze in it to stop it going too hard. Fact or fiction? I dunno

I'll try my best! Another thing, do you think it would make a difference if I ate it earlier in the day? Maybe as an afternoon snack so I'm hungry for dinner but don't need to pig out.

Don't worry guys, tonight I decided to have a brownie instead of ice cream but it was low fat but high sugar and suprisingly I'm not starving afterwards and it's only 10 calories more and less fat!

I know what you mean. One cookie/donut/jam tart turns into 3 or 4 or a binge. Maybe cutting out sugary snacks and limiting them to a weekend or something?

Not entirely true with me, I don't need more of that thing I just get hungry but I've realised it could be due to the fact I normally eat it around 2 hours after dinner when I'm eating every 2-3 hours throughout the day so maybe it's just my fast metabolism because I ate my icecream right after dinner tonight and was hungry three hours later anyway.
