Day 1: I'm kind of both nervous and excited to start Crave-NX today. Nervous, because as I previously mentioned, I'm not big on diet aids. I'm worried about weird side effects. But I'm excited because snacking is where my diet nearly always fails. If I can keep my diet to meals alone -- maybe with a piece of fruit or veggies in between -- I know I'll eventually reach my goals.

At 10 a.m., the first craving hits. "I'm hungry," my brain says. Only I'm not, because I just had breakfast at 8. So instead I reach for the Crave-NX. It's got a mild flavor, like orange drink. I squirt five times, then go back to work. My mouth feels kind of tingly, and 15 minutes later I look up from my computer and realize I'm not hungry after all.

Huh.
