To give a very brief history, during my fasting days I would have my normal (very large) meals but usually still be hungry and have certain cravings for desserts (or anything really). My appetite was enormous and I could easily eat 4000+ calories in a sitting.
I stopped fasting last year but more recently I have found that I have absolutely no cravings for anything. It used to be the case that when going down the grocery store aisles I would see things that I wanted to buy - certain foods that I really wanted to eat but usually weren't on my diet. Now I feel nothing toward any desserts or other food items. I attribute this to many months on a very nutrient-dense diet (also possibly a correction in leptin resistence and reduction in stress).
It seems like a logical outcome: that cravings can be a completely sensical way for our bodies to tell us we need more nutrients (or at least more calories to deal with stress). But at the same time, this notion doesn't seem to be accepted by mainstream practitioners.
Has anyone else experienced this switch?
