Alot of foods that we can "crave" have similarities to them that is worth noting. There is salts and hydrogenated oil (monounsaturated fats I think is the word) in combination that makes a Western MSG. Sugar added to this increase the addictive components. McDonalds french fries actually adds sugar to the oil, and many fast foods and quick foods (like you'd see on TV) uses similar techniques. Mix these substances with starches and you have made a type of drug. (Think of donuts and pastries) Sometimes subconsciously manufacturers looking for a taste do this stuff, and in some cases it is a conscious practice known to be highly addictive. Addictive because the body can't correctly process it, it is like the chemistry is missing some electrons or ions or something by the cooking process, (think of potato chips for example)so it borrows these ions from your body and bonds with your organs. Anyway, so during cleansing processes as these compounds are about to be eliminated it is as though a part of you is missing. We experience this as a strong craving. It is not, however, that you crave it in truth, it is that it (the compounds) crave you. It is like the concept of an entity that is bonded to you and suddenly the bond is breaking loose. It in you, craves more of the same. It is most experienced in fasts where the old foods that were bonded to the organs, are released and are back in circulation through the bloodstream in process to be eliminated. As the blood passes through the brain particularly one is reminded of the memory of that old food. Sometimes a person will dream about the old food like french fries, potato chips etc.
Point is, this is stuff that is kicking out of us. It is a withdrawal.
One can move through it, knowing it is just toxins leaving us and maybe drink lots of water to aid in elimination. An attitude of mastery over these toxins, instead of struggling with cravings, can help arm a person with the state of mind that will confidently get them through these changes of purification.
Chapters can, and probably have been written on these topics alone. Hopefully, my generic short and skinny will be adequate to give the jist of what I'm intending to convey. (Hopefully you or others will find it helpful)
