For as long as I can remember I would crave something (sushi, pizza, brownies, ice cream etc). What I mean by this is physically I could taste that food in my mouth. Since going Paleo, that taste or craving no longer exists. Yesterday I had a long, not so good day. Came home said I wanted sushi but not because I could taste the fish or couldn't stop thinking about seaweed but because it sounded good. Instead we went to the dining hall and I had pork. It hit my hungry spot and I moved on.
Not having cravings like I use to have is an interesting development because I never remember not having vivid cravings.
Even today on Valentine's day I'm not begging for chocolate or brownies or something in the form of food. I guess my point is cravings and desires are created by our diets. It's become very obvious to me that our brain is hooked on processed junk. That if we just eat what we are meant to eat, we eat less, better and stop craving the things we think we can't live without.
I haven't had soda in a month! I never thought I'd break that habit! I've been drinking soda since I was young and now I can't dream of drinking it again. It's truly amazing how your taste buds change and grow or shrink based on what you are consuming.
I will say this morning is going to be a coffee morning. Luckily I can hit the dining hall get some milk and raw sugar and enjoy a cup! It's the simple things.
Until next time!
