Craving Questions

diddiz

In the past I have been vegetarian and vegan and now am a raw vegan. In all instances, at some point, I have craved red meat. Does anyone know why you would crave red meat? What am I not getting in my current eating plan? I didn’t know if anyone would know, but thought I’d give it a shot.

Thanks for the advice. It definitely feels physical and not psychological. I’ll add more B12 to my diet and see if that helps. Do you take pills or liquid? I’ve had the liquid before and it really tastes like what I would imagine dirty socks would taste like.

HI, I recently had RAW pasta made from rubbarb with marinara and heated in the dehydrator with nut cheese. It was delicious and barely noticeable that it was RAW. Perhaps this will fill the void. Best wishes

I had an olive craving today…went to WF and got a small tub of mixed olives…and proceeded to eat THEM ALL! Sad thing is that I wasn’t even hungry, but they were just sooooo tasty!OH well…had a salad for lunch, guess I’m having a salad for dinner too lol

Oh, man, the cravings hit me full force last week, week 4 of raw foods. As I drove by a street full of restaurants, the smell of….cooked MEAT of all things made my mouth water. I have not looked back ONCE since going veg over 4 years ago, until last week. Then, in the break room, someone had brought sharp smoked cheddar (sorry joesc!) and just looking at it made me long for it. I had to get outta there quick! Is it just residual cravings and “detox” from my old way of eating? Maybe I should pick up another supplement.

AND POPCORN! Forgot that one. I actually indulged in it last night….

joesc – i have a recipe for cheddar cheese that has a sharp taste…its from Alissa’s book – let me know if you want it and I will email it to you. I’d hate to break any copyright laws
