I told you, you were eating garbage. The food choices you make are going to cause these cravings you are having.

How much water you drinking?

Generally speaking processed sugar (and most processed food for that matter) have a lot of the nutrients removed as part of the processing. So you get what many folks call "empty calories". If it is not processed, then you are getting other nutrients with the calories (vitamins, minerals, protrein, fat, fiber, etc). It is in a more natural state. So while a grape has sugar it also has nutrients.

On a side note, dieting is not easy. Nothing in life worth having is easy. Make up your mind what you want (your goals), develop a plan to achieve those goals, implement the plan, evaluate the results and adjust the plan based on the evaluation - then repeat the process.

Whey powder is fairly cheap per serving, as are most dairy products. And a 2 pound bag of apples or some other fruit is not to much money. Just start eating more healthy where you can and when you can and you will be headed in the right direction. Try and focus on your progress; keep a journal of what you eat and at the end of each day look for meals or portions of a meal that you will do better with tomorrow.

Hang in there and you will succeed.

I went to school from 8am-3pm with a 45min break for lunch, then i came home, took a 15min nap, got up cooked some more and ate again and went to work till midnight. I got 5 healthy/balanced meals in today, with only 1 of them as a shake, there is no reason why you can't. Its 1am and i'll be getting up at 6am so i can eat breakfast, shower, cook my meals for the day and work from 8am (construction) till 4:30 then get home, eat, cook and once again work from 6pm till midnight. Its all about priorities and sacrifices. I'm not as strict on my diet as i once was, but i still manage 4-6, balanced meals/day going to school for 23hours/week and working 35-45hours/week.

Get some self control, its only food, you won't die without apple jacks. In fact, you'll probably live longer/better.
