Interesting post but most of the time you crave food you are just hypoglycemic. Also there are some crossovers but still good post, its certainly thought-provoking.

Yeah it is. Have you seen the discovery special about the man left at sea? HE was eating raw fish to survive, after a while of just eating the meat he started to crave stuff like the eyes and liver.

It seems the body will crave certain things that contain nutrients that it lacks.

"As his body is about to shutdown, Steve finds his tastes taking a bizarre turn. I was less and less interested in the fish flesh and more interested in things like fish eyes and the little plates between the vertebrae, and fresh fish level and fish roe, basically all the interior of the fish with the exception of the stomach itself."

It basically says when the body is lacking nutrients it will cause insatiable hunger to get what it needs, even to override taste.

Pushing the human body, Brain Power, thats the episode.

You'll also like the part that talks about dieting and it's effect on life length.

By dieting you mean caloric deficits, macrophages, and heavy mineral explusion?

In relation to the cravings...i have a real world story to offer. I got my gf taking fish oil capsules. After about 3 months of steady use (3g per day) she ran out. She never bought more, but after 2 weeks of discontinued use, she began to crave olives, almonds, and walnuts.

She asked me about this, and after some questioning I asked her if she was still taking fish oil. Nope. She began taking it again, and within a week the cravings had subsided.
