Ignoring The Cravings
I don't know why but I'm really craving fried potatoes. Either chips (ideally Ruffles Sour Cream and Onion) or fries (ideally McDonald's with Sweet and Sour Sauce). I rarely get really strong cravings for things and I tend to believe that when they happen it is your body telling you something. In this case I think my body is wrong. I am doing fine for starches, fats and salt (which is pretty much all I would get from eating chips or fries, not a lot of nutritional value there.) What I really need to more fruits and vegetables, since I'm out of fresh ones and have not had as much as I should these past few days. So this time, I'm going to ignore my body to a certain extent and have some canned veggies, either corn or green beans.
Apparently, if you sautee mushrooms they will help satisfy your craving for fries. They release some kind of similar chemical.
