All of a sudden, I am craving meat like no other... I havn't eaten it, don't want to eat it, but my body craves steak and bacon like a pregnant woman gets cravings. It's insane...I've tried the "substitute" meat, like Boca which didn't work because my body seems to want steak, and soy bacon is just icky. I tried adding more protein to my diet, and adding a multivitamin... Not helping? Any ideas where ths is coming from and how to get rid of this craving? It's with me all the time and I just hate it...I've been a vegatarian forever...
go for a walk, a bike ride. that's what i do when i get a craving for a cigarette... cos i'm trying to cut down & quit.
Perhaps you are craving the taste of the bacon and the additives people put on steak. If not, your body may be trying to tell you that it is "missing" some nutrient. Then the puzzle becomes figuring out which one. Experimenting can be fun. My mom has discovered a lot of great foods dishes this way. I know I found Quinoa this way.
Also I used to crave sweets really bad and then I found Siagon Cinnamon, it is ten times sweeter than cinnamon and enhances any fruit that one usually puts cinnamon on. Now my sugar cravings are no more.
Cravings can and usually do subside. Hope this all helped.
Besides the cravings, are there any physical symptoms? More tired than usual or more carb intake? When we have too many carbs we can crave protein to off set it
Good luck in finding the proper solution for you. Each of us is different and there may not be one simple resolution for everybody !
