Anonymous Coward User ID: 6180828 Canada 12/19/2011 10:48 PM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | I used to crave salty foods and would not stop eating limes with salt all the time. I realized that I had an iodine deficiency so replaced table salt with Himalayan salt and started taking kelp and it automatically the cravings went away. Quoting: Ready2bugout 1. When people crave chocolate, they're deficient in copper and magnesium. 2. When people crave dairy products, they're deficient in calcium. 3. Nuts = essential fatty acids, proteins, OR organic sodium (NOT table salt); 4. When we have PMS and have those uncontrollable chocolate cravings, we are deficient in magnesium. During our periods, the amount of magnesium we need sky rockets (which explains those uncontrollable cravings). -- You can find magnesium in liquid or capsule form, or in any yellow vegetable, or in the carob chip (a substitute for chocolate). 5. Carbohydrates = Most people crave carbs when they get off work or after a long day at school, this is because your nerves are raw (from thinking and doing so much) and the first thing you will reach for are carbs! Take some liquid magnesium on your way home from work (they'll kick in by the time you get home so you won't eat those chips) and start taking a B vitamin complex. Carbs contain b-vitamins and in today's society they get stripped out throught he food process, so it's important to make sure you're getting enough. 6. Salty = TRUE sodium; (From NATURAL sea salt which contains iodine.); Your body gets absolutely NOTHING from table salt, that's why you want more chips when you find yourself at the bottom of the bag. 7. Sweet/Sour = Your liver is trying to rinse and clean; 8. Dill pickle juice = liver support; So eat DARK greens (kale, spinach, asparagus, etc.); Note: when pregnant women get really hot, it means their thyroid thermostat is off and the liver is congested, so try eating sweet and sour foods. 9. Sweets = You are deficient in GOOD nutritional sugar. Try eating fruit instead of reaching for a piece of candy. Wait 15 minutes and see if you still crave it. Most likely, even if you do still want a piece, you won't eat the whole bag because of the nutritional sugar you got from the fruit. 10. DIRT = There are actually people out there that crave dirt! This means you're deficient in trace minerals. Get on a good multi-vitamin that contains trace minerals. I like naturessunshine.com or you can get one from a health food store. Otherwise, pull a carrot out of the soil, and eat it without rinsing it. But DON'T do this to the carrots that come pre-packaged from the store! 11. Fried Foods = Lacking GOOD oil; 12. Spicy Foods = Thyroid imbalance or lack of fire/sulfur in the body; Eat garlic, horseradish, etc. 13. Caffeine = Exhausted adrenals; Take licorice root and vitamin C. 14. Nicotine = Vitamin B deficiency and emotional issues; 15. Alcohol Cravings = (specifically alcoholism in the family line) = L Glutamine deficiency; 16. Meat = Amino Acid deficiency or phosphorus burn (i.e. what occurs when the light bulb goes off in your head; It's a result of thinking a lot); You crave protein to refuel. 17. Ice = Iron deficiency; 18. Beets = Iron deficiency; [link to megansmind-holisticwellness.blogspot.com] I have been eating cucumbers in salt black pepper and that vinegar solution from those greek pepperocinis. omg, for three days now! I either needed some salt or something. But man,i'm craving them now! |

I used to crave nuts but now I just crave the sap. I'm thinking about trying to tap a tree in spring, but sadly it doesn't run in the winter months. I am close to going and biting into a branch. Yum. :) |

Quoting: Carbaholic 7223831 You're really helping me out here. I always want carbs when I get home from work! So I went online and ordered different bottles of magnesium. Thanks, bro... you're my bud, now. Dude that's also your insulin levels stop consuming high glycemiic carbs and sugars. stick to whole sprouted grain bread found on the frozen section. Whole grain high protein pasta, brown rice, quinoa, and have a either veggies or nuts along with your carbs to help your carbs digest slow and prevent cravings. |

Anonymous Coward (OP) User ID: 3483578 United States 12/21/2011 04:20 AM Report Abusive Post Report Copyright Violation | Only thing I ever seem to crave these days is orange juice or pineapple. I can sit an eat an entire pineapple or drink an entire gallon of orange juice when the craving hits. When I was pregnant, I craved vinegar and grapefruit juice and meat. My all-time fav was pulled pork swimming in vinegar. Quoting: Tawandaaaa Don't know what it is but you should look into Braggs apple cider vinegar it is very good for you |
