[QUOTE="poshtotty, post: 1366696, member: 100221"] I don't know if this helps to answer your original question which was why you crave these foods after losing weight, but 20 years ago I did a 30 day detox which I was very disciplined about and did really well on. On the day I completed the detox it was as if a switch went on in my brain and I began to crave all the foods I'd deprived myself of during the past 30 days. I even craved and ate foods I don't like or usually eat, but they all tasted so good after a strict 30 days of abstention. I undid all the good work in one day but I really do think it was my body's way of replacing all the foods it had been deprived of for so long. This is the reason I don't subscribe to fasting over long periods of time, or extreme dieting or calorie restriction. I love the LCHF way because there is no sense of deprivation. I hope this helps a little to understand why we do what we do. Be gentle on yourself, and keep pushing onwards, with greater knowledge and understanding. [/QUOTE]
