Is it too good to be true?

Not exactly a success story, but I've been doing this for only 4 days now and I already got to the point to where I don't crave anything bad.
I used to wake up, and crave the hell out of cheeto puffs or potato chips and soda. Typical junk foods.. but now, I wake up and then I sit around, or exercise, and don't even attempt to eat anything unless I'm actually hungry. Then I cook healthy, and everything.
I can't remember the last time a bag of chips or something worse has entered my mind, until now. And that's only because I'm writing about it.
Is this a good thing or a bad? Is my lack of craving now going to result in a hardcore craving later?

it only took me around one week of clean eating and then i didn´t crave for anything bad and it have been like that in 12 weeks so i cant see that is a bad thing that you dont have to struggle with it too long0

Was thinking the same thing..that and I have been doing this for only 11 days and I am down almost 7 lbs....that is crazy I did WW for months and lost only 7 lbs....so happy something is working...gotta stop the yo yo!0

Personally, I still crave al the dirty nasty little treats and as bad as it might sound, I don't stop myself.
What I have done is start to balance the calories better.
I work out harder. If I need a spare 100 cals for somehting, I go for a walk for half an hour.
Slowly but surely I'm tidying up my diet, but I could never have just shifted it overnight.
I salute you sir!0 -
took me right at 3 weeks to stop craving but trust me in about 3 months there will be times it will come back 10 fold it get worse when you stop seeing results on the scale that will be the real test0

Good for you ........ each day's going to bring its own challenges .......
The more often you make good choices, the easier it gets ...... truth !0 -
great going Corey!!! wait til it gets to the point that you have some of that junk food and you get a belly-ache from it. 2 weeks ago I went to Wendy's and had an order of fries....ugh...my belly was revolting against them. Good job again0

I was just going to say the same thing, It took me about 2 weeks to have the cravings subside. I still want them because i KNOW it will taste good but then i get crazy stomach aces afterwards. Same thing if i eat too much food no mater what it is.0 -
Making the better choice is soo much easier when comparing numbers - I can have 2 smoked salmon wraps, with yoghurts cheese, on ultra thin wraps with a pile of rocket, or one tiny fruit mince pie - and once you compare to a packet of chips or a can of sugar soft drink - you realise you can eat tons on a diet.0
