Help me I have got a case of serious craves!

I have just gone raw within the past two and a half months, within the past week I have had super cravings for sweets but the really overly processed sweets I use to it and my appetite seems to be growing. Has this ever happened to anyone? What do you suggest?

Raw cookie dough!! It definately suppressed my sweets craving tonight…hehe. (It is very sweet and has a high fat content, but it is raw!) Here’s the link. It is amazing.

And fresh fruit sometimes helps me too. If I just want sugar, I try to go for fruit, but if I want more of a comfort food, I gotta have the cookie dough!

My major cravings right now are carbs (bread, crackers, pasta) and soy meats.

I’m with ya on the pizza too!! I’m excited to go to a raw restaurant tomorrow, and already thinking about getting the raw pizza! I’m afraid if I get it, I’ll be disappointed though and will regret not just giving in and going to the vegan pizza shop down the street. I will probably focus on something else though….like their yummy smoothies! UGHH….that vegan pizza is so delicious and tempting! I can’t wait until I get to the point in my raw journey that cooked food won’t sound good anymore! I’ve been there for years with meat and a few months with dairy….cooked food might take longer though!
