Some of these cravings are your sneaky body trying to get you to go back to the "easy" fuel of carbs. It takes much more energy to convert fat to fuel and the body is lazy. So it sneaks thoughts of carbage into your mind as cravings. Not real hunger, usually.

However, the great thing about LCing is that you can ALWAYS eat if you have a hunger. Just ignore any craving for non-LC foods and go eat some protein and fat. It will still be LC legal and you will be much more comfortable.

Also be aware that thirst sometimes masquerades as hunger. Try a glass of water first and it may be all that is needed.

But do eat when you crave something. Just not the thing that you are craving.
