this is weird, cos I get this too, except not with dairy products. But sometimes with specific fruits, but never with pears for instance which I thoroughly hate, mainly because of their after-effect. but for instance watermelon and regarding leafy vegetables/broccoli/cauliflower/peas, which I know are good for me, but I should strictly speaking be only having a small amount and with a lot of more fattening stuff like potatoes/bread/rice, I am petulant sometimes that other members of my family can eat tonnes of broccoli whereas I restrict myself to two florets...
That said I think it's largely psychological, and it depends on what you're used to. I have not had dairy for months now and I don't miss it. I steered clear of all fruit except for bananas and apples for a year, never missed it. And I used to eat a lot of wholewheat bread before, but it is the worst offenders. Couldn't do without it for a while, but then I weaned myself off. Don't miss it now. I don't believe that craving means that you want/need something. I know that's what they say for pregnant women, but when it comes to the kind of carbs that pizza/cakes contain, they are addictive and compel you to eat more. Maybe lactose is like this as well...
Although I am very angry and frustrated sometimes, but the EFI diet is here to help! http://www.whfoods.com/foodadvisor.php
is a good indication of what you may be missing out on. Think it's a trustworthy site and then you can click on nutrients to see how to get it. It is theoretically possible not to be low on nutrients and still adhere to the EFI diet.
