Changes in Food Cravings and Eating Behavior after a Dietary Carbohydrate Restriction Intervention Trial

Changes in dietary restraint were inversely related to several FCI subscales. A short-term, low-CHO diet was e ective in reducing food cravings. These data suggest that in subjects that have successfully lost weight on a low-CHO diet, those who craved high-fat foods at the onset were able to satisfy their cravings—potentially due to the high-fat nature of this restricted diet.
