For the past five days I have been doing completley raw foods (mainly

fruit) well last night my husband was talking about going to subway

and getting himself a nice veggie delight sandwich. He made me crave

it so bad I begged him to take me there and get one. Not only did I

eat that but I also ate 4 chocolate chip cookies. The craving for

cooked foods took me over and made me become practically a raving

luinatic to my husband. I was on my knees begging him to buy me some

cooked food. Why did i feel this way? Why were the cravings so

STRONG? I want to break free of this? I plan on starting my raw food

again today and trying to go an even longer span without " relapsing " .

I feel like we need a cooked food eaters anonymous or something. This

must be just as hard as people who are alchololics to give up alcohol

or cigarettes. The cravings can get unbarable. How can I better deal

with these without giving in to them? Thanks, Amy

I suggest the craving comes from a lack of something.

 

My guess is vegetable fats. Try eating a few avocados and

if the craving is still there you know the problem must be

somewhere else! Try soaked nuts for example.

 

From my own experience of going rawfoodist, there were

cravings which were in the background and received no serious

attention. No doubt they make the next meal more wanted.

 

Hope this helps but in the end you should hit the target.

It sounds to me like you are not getting enough carbohydrates. If you

are craving sweets that means you need to eat even more fruits. I used

to have the same exact problem. I would go raw and then after a while I

would crave chocolate, cookies and candies. Well what are they but

mostly carbohydrates.

 

Now I finally figured it out and I don't have the cravings anymore. I

eat at least 60% of my calories in carbohydrates. I especially eat lots

of bananas since they are very calorie rich. Once I get enough fruit

sugar the cravings are gone and I have loads of energy to go on with my

day.

 

All your needs can be met by the raw food diet. It just takes time to

transition. Realize that you have to eat much more food by weight when

eating raw because you are now consuming so much water in your foods.

 

Good luck, Roger Haeske

Amy,

Try not to be so hard on yourself. You are just beginning to do raw and 5 days

of raw is not very long. It's good but a beginning. Some people won't agree with

me, but if your cooked food had alot of salt in it, you would naturally crave

sweets because salt and sweets are opposite. I learned that in macrobiotics (I

think it was there, anyway.) That's why a bland diet is better. What you can do

is just start over again. I am not sure if Subway has alot of salt in their subs

or not. Just a suggestion.
