not often do i get cravings, and i really hate coke(cola) with avengence but every few months or so i really really crave coke, i buy a can, drink half, then realise ii really do not like it and throw the rest away! there must be something in it that my body needs, cafine maybe as i don't have tea coffee or chocolate in my diet! I don't know but whatever it is it gets low every few months and coke replenishes it and the craving stops till next time!
I always listen to my body, it will tell me what it needs by craving a food which contains the missing thing! it does take time to become aware of what the missing thing is though but do i really need to know, as long as i give in to the cravings then i will get what my body needs
