    The cravings kind of slip away once you've been off of that type of food for long enough-at least that's what I've found.

    FRENCH FRIES!!! They are my weakness and I have to avoid them completely because one little thing of fries can trigger a binge that will last a few days! I love french fries more than the average person. I like thick steak fries. I like skinny fast food (McD's) fries. I like crinkle cut fries cooked on a pan in the oven at home. I could live off of fries, I think. Anyway... I miss them, but I know that they trigger something in me and once I start, I can't stop. It's truly an addiction.

    I am not really having cravings. If I seriously crave something I will fit it in by whatever means necessary. However, I am having some very bad memories of the stuff I used to eat. I really can't believe the volume and kinds of foods I used to eat. I could eat an entire pizza by myself in a sitting, which would be over 2000 calories right there and now that is my daily intake calorie wise. .

    The only real change I made in my diet was to cut how much I was eating (mostly by eating small portions at suppers, and only if I'm hungry, and skipping seconds at lunch). I don't deny myself anything.

    However, I have gone gluten-free for my nursing baby's sake (when I slip up, he pays, poor thing, so I've only done that a couple of times). I don't miss gluten in the "I. Must. Have. Something. Glutenous" sense, but I can tell you what, the day he is weaned is the day I eat a sandwich made with Dave's Killer Bread (if you don't know what that is, you should look it up--it's the best store-bought bread EVER, and I mean that in every possible sense, from taste to nutrition; I don't know how far away he sells, but he's based in Oregon, and I am too, so it works out great). And then I'll make Split Pea Soup with Barley instead of Rice. And then... when I go out to Sweet Tomatoes for lunch, I'll have a serving of pasta. I don't miss pasta, because we eat brown rice pasta, but I miss pasta at Sweet Tomatoes.

    Actually, I think my cravings have lessened, if anything. I used to crave desserts every day. Now I don't. Some days I will eat a dessert to round out calories (like what we call "brown dessert", which is basically equal parts peanut or almond butter, honey, and carob powder (could be cocoa powder, but you'd need either less cocoa or more honey, probably, because carob is naturally sweet). On days I'm low in protein, this makes a great way to bring up the numbers, and since pasta meals are usually low in protein AND fat, it's the perfect complement to that meal! But I don't have to eat it every meal like I (thought I) did for a while. If I eat 750-850 calories for lunch, I really am satisfied enough that dessert isn't much of an issue anymore.

    my cravings are always sweets!!!!! I have found some ways to keep me satiated so I don't binge namely keeping some lower sugar and calorie snacks on hand so I can have them after dinner dessert will always be my favorite thing in the world

    Definitely rice, can't believe how much I used to eat... And bacon.., although I happily fit that not my diary a couple of times a week. I've found baffling though that before MFP I never ate Peanut Butter but now I crave it a couple of times a week :) and can't believe how much I love it now.

    MY cravings are either for Sushi, or Cupcakes with lots of frosting. I get sushi from time to time still, and I found if I eat a tsp or so of frosting it curbs my feining for a huge gormet cupcake.

    Nothing that I can think of really, because I can usually come up with a version of anything that fits into my macros.

    I second the Trader Joe's pizzas, though. Come to think of it, I need to go by there today. :laugh:

    Foods I miss
    Mayo with corn and white cheese, butter, lime juice, valentina hot sauce, its basically corn on the cob but it is so good, where I live street vendors sell them in a cup or on the cob.

    Also, I had to say no more Tamales,

    And no more of my moms Spicy Red Beans with all the butter.

    Nothing. I eat what I like.



    Sadly however it's not always as much as I'd like.
