In 2018, researchers from Louisiana State University examined 28 studies on diet and cravings. They discovered that cravings don’t have to do with what our body “needs;” it’s what our body remembers. It’s a conditioned response that your body can unlearn over time.

The research states that two primary techniques can lower cravings. One is eating the food less. If your body doesn’t remember the taste, it won’t crave the food. On the flip-side, eating healthy foods frequently develops cravings for those foods. The other method is to shrink your stomach by not overeating. If you’re not hungry, you won’t crave sweets.
