Cravings have gone??

[yvettemelissa]

Since going vegan...

and obviously, no more addictive ingredients, and nasty additives..
do you guys feel your cravings have like..diminished significantly?

I think it was last week that i was craving chocolate vegan brownies...
and now its like..i would LIKE one..but the craving is so so so so small..that it is so easy to just say no, and grab a handful of chickpeas and piece of fruit instead...

And when i was eating a little meat here n there...i used to still get MAJOR cravings for like..
5 cookies!
Or like a bag of chips..
or lollies or cake or chocolate!

and now obviously that i am not eating these anymore due to the fact of the animal products..ive just said no, and moved on.
and now that im working on fixing up my diet and eating better and more variety...im sittin here thinking..wow...i havent had any junk food for like, an entire week..and i STILL dont have a craving!

Yeah i had natural organic peanut butter and jam on a sandwich..
but thats hardly anything bad to compare to say..a chocolate icecream.

This feels weird.

hi yvette

I have lost most of my 'bad' cravings too. Sometimes if I crave chocolate I have chocolate flavoured soy milk, but usually its so insignificant that I ignore it altogether.

I still crave vegan chocolate! I have a real sweet tooth :) Lucky for me that is readily available!

But if I eat other types of foods that have high amounts of additives, then I realise how disgusting and junky they taste- biscuits or crackers etc- I much prefer the home made variety! So I think my diet is much healthier!

i've been off of them for about 2 years now

I never had cravings until around the time I hit a year of being vegan. This was also about the time that I hit the 50 pounds lost mark (which was one of my first weightloss goals). The boy told me that maybe the cravings were b/c I'd finally reached this goal. It somewhat made sense.

Now, I just crave dark chocolate and choc chip cookies sometimes. So I pick up a bar or whip up a vegan batch from time to time and indulge.
