Aint it strange when you stop eating conventional food (in my case conventional junk!!!) that the things you crave are so far from what you normally ate! I would eat pizza, curry, crisps, choc, you name it, if it was high in sat fat i would stuff it in my gob without ever thinking or carin! But when absinent, give me a piece if fish, some broccoli or some grilled chicken salad, PLEASE, just one meal a day.....................honest! Why is that??? I want all natural foods!! Must be my bodies way of getting back to basics.........eat what nature intended LOL. Anyone else find this??
YEs, I am the same. And I do believe there is a physiological reason for it. I might be wrong but....
They say, it takes 7 days to break a habit. They also say, if you eat something sugary - a chocolate bar, etc., one day - your body remembers, and wants it again, usually around the same time.
By abstaining, welllll beyond 7 days!!.....I belive our body's memory has "purged" itself (for lack of a better word) of the memory of what we crave.
We are eating 100% nutritionally, therefore, the things we are craving now are the things that our good for us. Our bodies, if we listen to them and not our crooked thinking, are very intuitive and know what they need at any time.
Some days I crave veg - broccoli, carrots, tomatoes, lettuce, corn, etc. Other days I crave protein. Seldom, and I do mean seldom do I crave sugar. Or fried things. Amazingly, I do not even crave cheese.
By abstaining we are wiping the slate clean and are "open" to the foods we need to survive. After all, that is what food is for. Survival. Not sport!
So - thats my take on the whole "i never craved this before"! syndrom!!
Could be wrong, but it works for me!
