I only took up running about two years ago, I've just always been the energetic, eat what I want and get away with it type.

You crave carbs because that's your bodies main source of calories and is used to replace what the body takes from the muscles. It's one of the reasons the Atkins diet works even if it does make you aggressive.

Your daily calorific intake usually falls somewhere between 2000 and 3000 a day so if you want to lose weight you need to reduce your calories to just below this and start exercising. The weight should drop off and then once it does you raise your calories back up to the recommended amount.
