I lost weight when I stopped drinking. I haven't really got a sweet tooth but I craved dairy products, cheeses along with nuts and olives.
Now I am walking and exercising, feel great and am not particularly worried about what I eat, enjoy mostly vegetarian and a healthy diet, eat mostly to have energy for my very full life -- the preoccupation with diet and health has lightened up, something very unexpected!
Love & peace
