    OOOH!!! Thanks for this info! I'd been trying to figure out WHY I get these cravings, but would never get anywhere in my search. I knew it's because my body is "requesting" certain nutrients, but wasn't sure WHAT it needed. Thanks so much!

    I always crave chocolate & I keep a big bar of Bourneville ( love dark chocolate! ) & have a few squares when i really can't control the craving!!! is it best to drink a lot of water at this time, would that help with the annoying weight gain u get?

    Oatmeal Raisin Cookies and Bold Chex Mix.

    I'll let myself have one or two individual cookies I get from Fresh Market (if I bought a whole pack I know they'd be done for), but those bags of Chex Mix still vex me. Like others said, water water water.
