@@biglady904 I've heard many say they are craving things like salads and veggies and quite a few craving pickles! LOL Try drinking something more savory - like broth to see if it helps. You can also have pickle juice (I actually bought Pickle Juice popsicles - they sell them for hydration after working out). Hope you're doing well!

doesn't sound crazy at all to me. I'm 6 weeks out and i crave salt - like wanting to pour salt in my palm and lick it level of craving (haven't actually done it, but catch myself wanting to). I have definitely struggled since about week 3 with the "head hunger". when i find myself craving something - i stop and actually think about it and when I do, I realize I'm not actually hungry and it helps tame the beast in my head. then i distract myself by doing something else. It is getting easier now especially as I start adding more things to my diet - so hopefully you will find that is true too. Those first few weeks are just so monotonous and bland but it will get better!
