I've tried just about every method there is out there and there is only one I can recommend - NLP! It eliminates the cravings.

Hi Yoni, Well yes I track my food on spark site. http://www.sparkpeople.com.

It is true there is a 10 kg difference btw me smoker and non smoker , it has been in the past, so this time I am tracking my food . 1200-1500 cal , more on the lower side, 30 g carb Max. No junk food, and already I am 6 kg more after 95 days, I walk 1hr /day. I guess I could do more.

Let me tell you I am reading your blog approx,2-3 months and really am a fan.
