Cravings
Posted by: Anonymous User ()

Hello everyone,

Me and my wife have been 70% raw for 2 months now. Even when we have cooked food, we avoid anything processed, tofu, soy, etc.

We have been vegan for about 6 years now. Prior to going raw, there was a lot of soy products in our diet to serve as meat alternative or protein.

Recently my wife's been having some cravings for eating fish and eggs. We can't figure out why this might be happenning since she hasnt eaten fish or eggs for 6 years now. Could this be another sign of detox?

If anyone has any inputs on this, we would greatly appreciate it.

Thanks

Hey, i've been 100% raw vegan for 5 months now and recently have craved stuff like peperoni, and cheese burgers (I haven't eaten meat in 3 years not to mention). I think it's just a phase thing. I talk to other raw vegans who go through similar stages.

I have been mostly raw for a few months and the same thing happened to me. I've been vegetarian for years and a bunch of old cravings popped up.

Sometimes I dream about eating cooked foods... it's really strange.

People have similar experiences when coming off of "drugs."

I'd check that you are getting all the nutrients you require. Cravings can be a sign that you are not getting something you need.

Cravings for cooked food, heavy food, and high fat foods come because you are not eating enough sweet fruit. Eat more sweet fruit, and you will find that the cravings subside substantially.

Good luck!
