Can't stop eating

Think in th other direction. Think about what you eat not what you cut out.

fill your fridge with delicious high protein foods and fruit/veg. Plan a couple of different breakfasts and lunches that hit the spot. Rotate them.
So a jacket potato with cheese and beans is awesome comfort food, but also nutritious. Have a handful of posh salad with it- rocket or pea shoots or something.
lentil dhal is really satisfying.
poached eggs eaten with toast soldiers out of the cup.

Every meal you add in to the rotation is a bonus.

have carrot sticks and hummus ready to snack while you cook.

To start off thing about it as adding things to your food rather than taking them away. So still have the wrap, pasta or whatever but add loads (ideally half the plate) or salad or vegetables. This will make your overall diet more nutritious and when that becomes a habit then think about other changes you might want to take. It’ll take time, habits don’t change overnight.

I'm exactly the same so now I always make sure I have low carb bread, low carb wraps, low carb crackers, low carb pizza bases etc so I don't feel deprived. They cost a bit more but it's worth it to be able to have a bacon sandwich or pizza or cheese and crackers or fajitas any time without gaining weight. Most of them freeze (apart from the crackers) so as long as I make sure I've always got them I don't fall off the wagon so much now. The other thing I do is blend a high protein shake (there's a delicious vanilla one that tastes like the Mcdonalds vanilla milk shake) and keep it in the fridge and have a sip every time I get a hunger pang between meals. The protein kills the hunger quickly.

I think that you are right in that your body is actually craving these substances.

If you truly want to cut down I think a good way is to make such foods taste bad to you and in my experience you can do that by going cold turkey.
If you cut out the foods you feel aren't great for you , and replace them with less processed ones, so instead of having chocolate bars have honey and yoghurt for instance, then after a while, if you try one again, the bars really do taste bad.

I know it sounds silly but if for instance you like eating biscuits, instead of buying them try to make your own for a while, then the packaged ones really won't do anything for you and because making from scratch requires time and effort, you don't tend to have as many.

Your problem is likely not carbs in isolation but a combination of carbs and fat. A good place to start would be to leave carbs as they are but swap things you eat with carbs to healthier low(er) fat options. For example, your sausage in a wrap can just as easily be wrap with grilled chicken breast and a few veg (red peppers, tomatoes, rocket for example) and a spoonful of hummus as a "sauce". More nutrients, less fat, more protein and easy to eat on the go.
I don't buy "rubbish cook" argument. If you can read, you can follow a recipe. It maybe more of a habit/motivation issue and the fact that you don't plan it prep your lunches so it's easier to grab a meal deal with crisps and soggy supermarket sandwich.

I'm trying to overhaul my diet at the minute and one thing that massive helps me is protein in the morning. As in loads of it!

I have a smoothie with frozen berries, milk and protein powder or a tortilla wrap with 3 eggs, a bit of cheese, ham, spinach

You can have protein and carbs! Think chicken filled bagel or wrap, tuna sandwich, loads you can do with pasta, curry's etc. Meal prepping could help you lots, that way you can just grab and go. There is almost always a way to make the things you want but have a healthier version. Portion size and proportions are important too.

I find lots or recipes from IG. Most around 450 cals and they always have carbs. They can all be meal prepped and take around 20 mins at most to prepare

Oh also I was diagnosed with pcos in my 20s but healthy diet sorted that ans cysts went away. Blood showed normal too. But now 2 babies in and I'm 40 and cant stop snacking. Annoying.

You are not alone, Same height and I'm 14 st odds. Lose a stone , find it again. Used to be better but I just keep snacking. Everyday I say I will improve... guess gotta keep trying eh?

Really interested in your comments re PCOS and craving carbs. Is there a connection? I have pcos and love my carbs. Really struggle with losing weight.

I'm the same and a lot heavier than you.

I've just had a whole tin of rice pudding as my late night snack. Had a very healthy day of lots of fruit and veg, but it's as if my body craves the junk😳

I find availability is my down fall so I really try not to buy too much junk. Problem is the Christmas gifts of chocolate and biscuits. We still have loads left. I will take them to the food bank box tomorrow.

Solidarity, I am exactly the same. I have PCOS and feel really ill if I don't get carbs regularly. I've tried low carb a few times and felt like I was dying so gave up.

Carb overload like this gets your body hooked in an insulin/hunger cycle. To break the cycle you need to stop eating carbs and eat more protein. Thing is I don't know how you make yourself want protein when you're starving and all you want is carbs! The only time I've ever stuck at low carb long term was around 4 months and it got markedly easier after a week, if you can make it a week to break the cycle then it gets easier. But any stress and I cave which I imagine you do too or you wouldn't be here. So good luck!
