        Don’t forget your gut biome is a friend, or else you’ll always remember that fecal transplants are an effective treatment.

          I lowkey want that, i grew up with the worst diet and crave the least nutritious food 24/7. I can make and eat some great healthy food, 5 seconds later I want junkfood with a full stomach since it doesn’t satiate.

            Did you try to endure the cravings for a few days? If you switch to a healthy diet it’s annoying first, but after some time you are used to it. The microbiom changes - bacteria population processing healthy food grow, others starve.
