I was thinking about the way I choose the foods I do and I realized that being hungry and craving sweet are two completely different things. Hunger requires food with a modicum of nutrition..usually savory but not always. Craving sweet has nothing to do with hunger. While it generally feels as physically necessary as nutrition I know that it is not. My body should be perfectly happy once I have consumed a little meat and v e g but I still crave something sweet and find it as difficult to ignore the craving as it is to ignore hunger. I also realize that this is just a matter of habit which can be broken but hunger cannot be broken. Still the craving for sweet sure feels like a biological necessity. Does it work like that for you?
