    My body tells me to devour six packs of sour gummi bears every afternoon.

      Most of the things you read about on this topic are verging on pseudoscience (because nearly everything diet based is) and you’re going to have to feel out how it works for you if you want to look into it, but we think the cravings you have are more about what your brain thinks are the best ways to get specific things.

      So, while you’re craving ‘sour gummi bears’, what your brain actually wants might be a specific vitamin or mineral that your brain thinks it can get from that and it’s likely to have an alternate healthy source. Real hard to put into practice and change how you approach that though.
