Dr Jason Fung - The Useless Concept of Calories

Ironically, the only cravings i cant control are fats. Which is onw reason i could never go keto. And the volume sucks *kitten*... do i couldnt handle that non sense.
Same. Cheeses, roasted nuts (especially pecans), whipped cream, butter, cured meats, garlic oil, hot oil .. hard to control for me.
This is why I eventually gained weight when I went low carb.
Not so much the cured meats, all the other things plus stuff like egg salad, and chicken legs and being told I was supposedly naturally controlling calories?
Yeah, no.9 -
Why would anyone try something they have no interest in for 90 days? Why is it wrong to have an emotional craving for some bread if you don't then overeat it? Honestly. Let me eat my bread and still lose weight and still be healthy. And if you take my porridge I will cut you.
I too am someone that will merrily overeat fats. Toasted ciabatta (yes bread but not the calorie dense thing on this list) drizzled with good quality cold pressed extra virgin oil, topped with prosciutto, down the hatch. All the cheese in the world. All the butter in the world on my veg and I include non-starches in that. Hunks of butter to cook my scrambled eggs.
I don't eat a lot of starch really so that's not my downfall. I wish certain factions would stop suggesting we're enslaved to the evil carbs and grains.24 -
It would be a counter productive endeavour for me for sure lol.
Struggling for 90 days on a diet I know is not for me just to see if my cravings for things go away..
I know they wouldn't. Lol. And I know they wouldn't cause I would be struggling for 90 days and counting down the days until I could give the diet the middle finger4 -
Can someone explain to me how craving the taste and texture of a delicious food is an emotional craving? lol11

Can someone explain how it isn't?
Craving a flavor/tactile experience is just that, A craving. It's not hunger. It feels like hunger. It acts like hunger, but it's not.5 -
Is there a reason why an emotional craving is bad? Should I care that I want that bread? I mean again.. if I have the calories for it I can eat that bread no problem. I have known myself 31 years and at this point I know what I enjoy.. i know what foods usually cycle through for me. It would seem silly to me for me to go low carb or keto simply to what? Not have an emotional craving? Avoid a food that isn't bad? You know what I worked on once I got medicated for my BED? Eating in a way that doesn't result in me just going too long without something and maintaining control through moderate amounts and rotations of foods. The medications stop my brain from not being able to stop and put me in a place where I can now choose and control what I do with food. And like others it was not easy to not say screw it and eat an entire package of 4 oh Henry bars but I worked hard at it so that I don't have to go to extremes to not have cravings even emotional ones.6

That's not an emotion, though. It's a hedonistic urge to be more precise. Saying cravings are emotional is dramatizing them.
Sometimes cravings can have an emotional element if they're attached to memories, but if they're sensation based? That's hedonic.11 -

So here is a question.. If someone was eating bread and pasta and potatoes and rice before deciding to do keto...
Going with your idea that food is craved based on our time away from it for a while and then we crave it and eat it again or for a while.. if someone was going keto, wouldn't the cravings for those things happen? People doing keto notoriously say that their cravings are gone, but i agree with you, my cravings do usually come when its something i ate for a while, stopped and have not had in a while (short of chocolate) -- its why i don't believe the keto hype about it killing cravings for everyone.. i really believe that most people are riding that new diet motivation. If you ate bread pretty often before and then stopped, eventually there must be a time, regardless of how satiated you are on keto, where you crave chewy soft fresh bread, i really find it hard to believe that everyone just stops wanting everything carb related they ate before..
Try it for 90 days and see what happens in your case and stop questioning what you are or are not missing by going keto. By the way craving chewy soft fresh bread is an emotional craving. While in about 30 days most of my carb cravings were fading fast remembering the taste, smell and feel of a banana split was strong for more like six months. Three years after cutting out all sugar and all forms of grains my physical carb cravings are still gone but emotional carb cravings can get triggered from time to time but not one that is strong enough to act on I find in my case.
Forget the definition of "emotion". I'm still over here feeling all perplexed about how person A for sure knows the exact nature and origin of person B's craving . . better than person B does.
I mean, I know I'm a screwed-up introvert and all, but do you other guys have some kind of psych periscopes that let you look up in other people's heads?

Yeah, no.
That's a huge part of why I gained so much weight when I went on my insulin pump. Because in my head, I was *convinced* that carbs (and thus more insulin) were awful for snacks, and thus I was gravitating toward cheese and Italian deli meats. Because they were easy to eat, and required no prep work, and hey, they weren't those awful carbs.
And then I gained 10 pounds.
It's taking *a lot* of work for me to see that protein and fats aren't the evil devil creature that make you fat. I'm still working on that. I've joked with providers that I see that I'm the only person on earth who is terrified of protein.4 -

i just haven't met anyone besides ONE lady in my whole real life world of friends and family who has stayed low carb into old age and keeps her weight off that way. It works for her sustainably. Can you lose weight eliminating food groups? SURE! I did Atkins in 1999 and lost 45 pounds. Kept it off for....2 years. I regained it and then some. I tried Paleo. Lost 20 pounds. Gained it back in a year. Why? Because they seemed a little silly to me and not realistic and not easy and not what i wanted to do forever and ever.
Any diet works. You just have to do something you can do FOREVER to keep the weight OFF. If you don't think you could do Keto for 15 or 50 more years, then why do it now?10 -

@VintageFeline -- Do they use the same kind of sauce tho? Its a thick creamy white sauce made with sweetened condensed milk, vinegar and garlic?
@stevencloser -- Yeah the Donairs here are made with ground beef and a variety of spices, its spliced and then added on top of pita bread, onions and tomatoes (optional) and then the donair sauce which is what i mentioned above with the sweetened condensed milk, Etc0 -

Döner in Turkey
There are many variations of döner in Turkey:
Porsiyon ("portion", döner on a slightly heated plate, sometimes with a few grilled peppers or broiled tomatoes on the side)[19][20]
Pilavüstü ("over rice", döner served on a base of pilaf rice)[21][22]
İskender (specialty of Bursa, served in an oblong plate, atop a base of thin pita, with a dash of pepper or tomato sauce and boiling fresh butter)[23][24] "Kebapçı İskender" is trademarked by Yavuz İskenderoğlu, whose family still runs the restaurant in Bursa.[25][26][27]
Dürüm, wrapped in a thin lavaş that is sometimes also grilled after being rolled, to make it crispier. It has two main variants in mainland Turkey:[28]
Soslu dürüm or SSK (sos, soğan, kaşar; in English: sauce, onion, cheese) (specialty of Ankara, contains İskender kebap sauce, making it juicier)
Kaşarlı dürüm döner (speciality of Istanbul, grated kaşar cheese is put in the wrap which is then toasted to melt the cheese and crisp up the lavaş)[29]
Tombik or gobit (literally "the chubby", döner in a bun-shaped pita, with crispy crust and soft inside, and generally less meat than a dürüm)[30]
Ekmekarası ("between bread", generally the most filling version, consisting of a whole (or a half) regular Turkish bread filled with döner)[31]1 -

Beef? Your big meat on a stick turning in front of a grill is beef? Here it's lamb. And yep, you can have garlic sauce though there's no condensed milk involved as far as I'm aware.0 -

It's good for meditation. You get to watch the meat go round and round on the skewer while cooking, then presumably a pair of hands comes out of nowhere, removes the finished meat and puts a new roll on the skewer. It's kind of hypnotic.0 -
This is what ours look like. I have it with garlic sauce, well I say I have it, I don't remember when I last ate one. You can get other sauces though.
