Not sure if this is clear. Our bodies are supposed to replace all the cells every 7 or so years. Does that mean the fat too? Or when someone loses 20 year weight, are you getting rid of 20 year old fat?

      your taste bud’s cravings are the the fault of […] not your body

      Can you cite a reputable source to confirm this? Doesn’t seem right to me.

        i mean, it’s anecdotal, but I crave things that are super unhealthy, like Rally’s fries or ice cream, and I rarely used to crave anything that has real nutritional value. Now that I’ve cut back quite a bit on those, my cravings are starting to return to more healthy options, and right now I would kill for some roasted zucchini.

        in my experience, people are more likely to crave fast food and sweets because they’re literally designed to be addictive. if most people follow their cravings, they aren’t going for the things that provide nutritional benefits, they’re going for the tasty stuff
