Extreme Craving!
 

Hi,

I am not sure if you would call this an eating disorder or not, but I have an extreme craving for peanut butter... Aggggggggg
Can someone tell me what my body may be needing to get rid of this craving?

Thanks in advance,
jrshell

Protein.....I get the same cravings, but for peanuts. If I eat some chicken or an egg, Im usually ok

Is peanut butter one of those things that you were taught was a really bad thing to eat? I always crave what they told or tell me I can't have?

To be honest I never bothered to eat peanut butter very often at all. It's just since I started Atkins that I can't seem to get enough. It's really beginning to annoy me as well. I am thinking seriously about giving up Atkins and going back to WW.

Thanks for your reply :)

Hi Jrshell... I did Atkins for quite awhile and found it was just too restrictive for me. I think weirdo had a very good point about forbidden foods. I certainly get rebellious when I'm told not to eat *****. Doing Atkins I craved fruit and toast with jelly. I've swithched to Sugar Busters and find it a much more realistic program. I'll probably lose weight slower but that's ok. On SB you can have unsweetened peanut butter and nuts. Perhaps a program change is just the cure for your cravings....:cb: Lori
