I am not a soda drinker. I am a coffee, water, and alcohol kind of gal. I have cut down on my coffee only 1-2 cups a day (not mega cups) and I cut out the alcohol. But I still crave... quesadillas & a vodka tonic-- and then I get depressed because I don't allow it. Healthy, huh? :)

Anyways, I have a solution! I was given a herbal suplement by my doc for a weight loss program I tried a while ago. It is called satiet-ese. I was having a bit of an attack 2.5 hours ago- depressed wanting to eat/not wanting to cook, yada yada and I remembered I had it. So I took 2 tabs and within an hour I wasn't craving anymore. Amazing!!
I looked it up on the web... (http://www.myvitanet.com/sa90ca.html)
and it said this:

Satiet-ease:

A formula to promote satiety and positive mood; or general support for emotional well­being and ease from stress

*Satiet-ease is a powerful combination of mood and satiety-modulating compounds to support emotional well being, moderate stress, reduce food cravings and promote satiety. The amino acid tyrosine is a precursor of catecholamine neurotransmitters, including l- dopa, dopamine, epinephrine, and norepinephrine. These neurotransmitters are responsible for supporting mood and mental function. l-Tyrosine helps to maintain a healthy response to environmental and emotional stress. Relora® is a natural, proprietary blend of Magnolia officinalis and Phellodendron amurense, providing potential support for satiety and occasional stress. These extracts support healthy cortisol and DHEA production, as well as interact with central nervous system receptors, such as GABA and the serotonin transporter, helping to moderate food cravings, support healthy body fat distribution and promote emotional well-being. Rhodiola rosea, a Siberian plant with adaptogenic properties, promotes the activities of the neurotransmitters serotonin, norepinephrine, and dopamine. It has demonstrated the potential to enhance stress tolerance and moderate stress-related fatigue, important factors in maintaining physical and emotional well being.

Satiet-ease is a unique formula providing important central nervous system support for satiety, food cravings and mood. In addition, it can serve as a general formula for supporting emotional well-being and moderating occasional stress.
