    In Russia I always go to Pizza Hut, which tastes 100x better there than here (fresher ingredients). Works every time.

    if you constantly warding off your cravings you eventually pop your lid and have a major binge and f-up your system. just have a few bites, have the whole bag...just get it out of your system. but don't make it everyday!

    Oooh, ooh, here's a question I've been dying to ask. Lately whenever I drink coffee I have really strange smelling pee about 4-6 hours later. Anyone?

    Potatoes are a natural anti-depressant and I've craved them all my life. It's all I ever wanted to eat, especially as a kid.


    Since then I've been diagnosed as manic and I am confident that the reason why I always craved potatoes was due to my body's need to re-regulate itself.

    @Mav: Hmm, I didn't know this. I have been a potato addict since I was a child, not just carbs, potatoes, specifically. And in pretty much any form. I also have anxiety issues... Curious.

    @Treeless: It was an article on webmd awhile back. Apparently eating potatoes releases endorphins which makes you happier. :) YAY POTATOES!

    @stacyinbean: See, ever since finding this out I've wanted to do research into the amount of people who are addict to potatoes specifically (cause so am I, pasta and breads I'm all meh over) and if there is any corelation between that desire and anxiety/depression issues.


    I think the results would be interesting.

    The worst is when I crave something I'm allergic to, like bananas. I really wonder about my potassium levels sometimes.

    Sorry, can't get on board with this. If I listened to my body, all I'd eat would be ice cream and soft chocolate chip cookies, and all I'd do would be sit on the couch and watch TV. I never listen to my body, and I'm quite healthy as a result!

    @A-1 Sporting Goods: I would eat nothing but cheeseburgers, cheesy eggs, and fried chicken and do nothing but sleep.


    Which, come to think of it, isn't all that different from what I actually do.

    Things I crave on a regular basis:
    Avocado
    steak
    sushi
    milk
    strong soft cheeses.


    Clearly, my diet wants more fat and protein in it.

    I'm constantly craving salt more than sweets. Maybe I'm depressed? If so, I've been that way since childhood. I love sour stuff as well which totally explains my recent obsession with the margarita. I'm now off that and on to the red wine instead - I do believe my margarita diet has done something with my waistline, like holding it hostage for an obscenely large ransom.


    I do make sure I eat a balanced diet from Gretchen's Four Food Groups every day. Forgive me if you've seen it in the past, but generally it works for me:


    Caffeine

    Nicotine

    Alcohol

    Xanax


    The secret of good health and eternal youth (well, in your own mind anyway).

    The only thing I really ever crave (when sober) is McDonalds cheese burgers.


    As a vegetarian, these cravings are torture.


    When I'm drunk/stoned I crave everything I see.

    @Helen Skor: I love Wendy's, and they might be getting rid of the one on my campus. Sad face. That and Taco Bell are the only cheapo places to eat around here. Wendy's chili with cheese is AMAZING, too. A complete and balanced meal for $1.60. Excellent.
