Fats
Maybe you like French fries because of the fat. If you depriveyourself of the “good” normal greases that come from plant or
animal sources which would ordinarily make up 25% of your
calories, of course you'll crave grease. But what a bad trade it is.
Now you are getting lab-made (hydrogenated) grease with a nonbiological
structure, and loaded with the carcinogen nickel.
So if you're body tells you that you need grease, go back to
olive oil, butter, cheese (baked only), lard, avocados, nuts and
nut butters (homemade only) and seeds. Humankind has been
eating these natural fats long before cholesterol was vilified. The
key to cholesterol control is not fat avoidance, but a liver
cleanse!
Starch
If switching to natural greases doesn't satisfy your “fat-tooth”,
maybe its the potato in the French fries that your body craves.
Plain, pure starch. Do you also love bread and pasta (more pure
starch though very inferior to potatoes)? Pure starch is very easy
to digest and has a large adsorptive capability for toxins. In fact,
if any family member should accidentally eat something
poisonous, drinking cornstarch will quickly mop it up and keep it
stuck so it can't enter your tissues. (This doesn't work for all
poisons.) By craving pure starches, your body could be telling
you about a need to improve your digestion (liver disorders) or
to eat and breathe less toxic things.
Maybe a stomach-full of baby Ascaris is telling you to eat
only food that doesn't need a lot of acid: "just potatoes, bread and
pasta, please, and skip the sauce.” Ascaris inhibits acid production
by the stomach. This can result in an aversion to meat.
It doesn't take much acid to digest pure starch and get it on its
way out of the stomach. And out of the stomach means relief:
relief of the pressure on the diaphragm and liver, heartburn, that
too-full feeling, and other digestive disturbances.
Sugar
Your body runs on sugar. If you are short on sugar it will turn
fat into sugar. If you are short on both, it will turn your muscles
into sugar. However eating more sugar doesn't cure the craving.
You have to find out why you are so short, in spite of eating it.
The first thing to try is 1 mg chromium (five 200 mcg tablets,
see Sources) per day. If you still crave sugar after a week the
problem is something else. Perhaps you have pancreatic flukes
upsetting your sugar regulation. Kill them and go off commercial
beverages that may contain wood alcohol. Sugar regulation is
very complex, but these two approaches help most of the time.
