I have been vegan for 3 months and vegi for over a year but lately I've really been craving a cheeseburger. I'm under a lot of stress personally and with finals this week, and I know I don't actually want to eat that cheeseburger but I want it in my mind. How do you deal with these cravings?
We have to identify why we are having those cravings! You mentioned you’re under lot of stress so maybe that’s the reason. Whenever you have a craving try to take conscience of that moment and analyze your emotions, do you want to eat due to emotions or is it really hunger? If you’re stressed or anxious this more likely will make you feel those cravings. So, work on that stress, try to find a way to clear your mind, even before to sleep! That’s how I deal with cravings, basically!
