Cravings
January 20th, 2007
It’s my belief that if we crave a certain food, it is most likely to be for nutritional reasons rather than emotional reasons. I just came across this chart which suggests which foods to eat to satisfy particular bad food cravings. It’s not vegatarian (so I recommend you ignore the the non veg bits), but most categories have vegatarian food options that you could use:

If anyone finds it useful, I’d be interested to know which ‘good’ foods you used to satisfy which cravings.

Your link didn’t work.
For those having trouble just copy and paste the link in Rob’s article and remove ‘www.rawrob.com/’ from towards to beginning and that should work.
Thanks for the heads up on this one Rob. I’ve been after something like this for ages. I wonder if there’s also one that identifies real food we crave and some alternatives if what we fancy isn’t available. Or does it tend to be colour/food group specific?

Thanks David, I’ve fixed the link.

Funnily enough, since I started eating raw foods (including a lot of seeds and nuts) I have not craved chocolate the way I used to , and I actually feel sick at the thought of eating it. So maybe the chart is right on that one.

I’ve also stopped craving tea the way I used to as well, so maybe I just really neaded more phosphorus, from all those nuts.
