Comment on When a person gains weight and keeps the weight on for a long time, is that old fat in your body, or does the fat get replaced over time?

  i mean, it’s anecdotal, but I crave things that are super unhealthy, like Rally’s fries or ice cream, and I rarely used to crave anything that has real nutritional value. Now that I’ve cut back quite a bit on those, my cravings are starting to return to more healthy options, and right now I would kill for some roasted zucchini.

  in my experience, people are more likely to crave fast food and sweets because they’re literally designed to be addictive. if most people follow their cravings, they aren’t going for the things that provide nutritional benefits, they’re going for the tasty stuff
