TOM started this morning but for the first time in ages I'm not craving chocolate. I am craving meat, specifically bacon, sausage, beef, chicken or lamb (not together and not in any particular order). I just wondered if this is my body's way of telling me that I am low in a particular nutrient or if anyone else has strange cravings due to TOM

    I almost always crave protein. You might be low on iron, since that can be a side effect of TOM, or it could just be a weird thing that's happening this time around. Eat some lean meat prepared in a healthy way, and enjoy it. :)

    I think that's true. I've noticed that I'm craving protiens and sometimes fruit since I've lost my almost 30.

    You may want to add some iron supplements and boost the dark green leafy's. That helps me sometimes.
