Primal Eating?

Ok I have been bombing the "diet" over here.  I have been starting over every day and do well for a short while until I go crazy and binge.  I have been working my ass off in the gym only to eat back all of the calories that I worked off.  It sucks.  I am just so hungry and can feel the sugar spikes that cause my crazy binges. 

I decided to try something new and have been investigating primal eating.  Eating like the cavemen did, without processed crap and fewer limitations.  It is much lower carb than I am used to and I am scared of the cravings for the first few weeks but I am going to try and ease into it and see if it helps me.

My goal is to keep my carbs to about 150 a day and keep calories between 1800-2000.  I am going to make more steak and eat more veggies.  I am going to eat when I am hungry and not eat when I am not.  I think I have been putting too much pressure on myself and psych myself into a binge, just like I did with alcohol. 

I am nervous that lower carb will make me binge more.  I am going to look into this tonight and see how long the cravings usually last peopleand how they dealt with them.  I mean, I still have cravings for alcohol every now and then but it is an absolute in my mind right now and that has helped me deal with them.  I want to get to where I can have less ups and downs with food and not feel those urges as often. 

I am going to try this this week and I will report back to see if it has gone better or worse.
