I agree, Its very true that cravings come many times from nutrient defficiency. I think the best solution is to eat a healthy balance of whole foods in order to get your nutrients there. This will not only help curve future cravings, but will also fill you up, help keep you from eating junk, train your palate, all the digestive benefits of fibre, plus it trains us to turn to food for help and not see it as a culprit. And when I have a chocolate craving, I go for it! Raw cacoa is so healthy!
