Withdrawl
May just be like any other addiction, you are used to something, then you go cold turkey without it and eventually breakdown and binge. Its like Mountain Dew for me... I know I could not go without it so I've just severely reduced my intake of it...sometimes not even a full can a day. Like today I only had about 9 oz.

Choose the right carbs...
I have found that simple sugars and white flours are "trigger" foods for me and create a bigger appetite instead of satiating my hunger. I try to steer clear of refined foods and added sugar. When I limit carbs to fibrous veggies, whole fruits, and high fiber whole grains I don't seem to have the problem.

The breakdown of carbs
Monosaccarides: simple surgers (honey and fruit) good ones 15%
Disaccharides: sucrose (table sugar) no good 0% "sorry"
Polysaccharides: complex carbohydrates (whole grain , pasta and vegetables) good ones but choose wisely 85%
Body needs 60% carbs
