Cravings are sometimes caused by certain nutritional deficiencies, nutrients that are contained in the foods your craving.

A tip I'd give is: make sure you get sufficient variety if you want to last on raw foods

Gabriel Cousins, M.D. is the only MD that suggests a raw diet. But he says people are different and I saw him on a video saying it should be 80% raw.

Always have tons of raw food around-in your home, office, wherever you go. Keep pre-made food in the fridge, extra food in the freezer, portable food with you, plenty of easy foods for when you don't feel like making anything. If you can eliminate temptations (in your home or elsewhere), that helps too. Raw substitutes for what you're craving is also important.

Make sure you're eating enough food and often and filling & satisfying meals. This is usually something you need to do at the beginning until you get use to eating raw and then you cut back.

If you fight the cravings too much the stress will be bad for your health and could cause you to adopt of very bad diet to rebel.

Eat, and eat until you are full. Suddenly you don't feel like cake anymore.

That's what raw cake is for. Yum.

Make a huge bowl of fresh fruit salad in the morning so you always have something quick to eat when the cravings hit.
