good question. honestly i have two ideas in my head about it, either permanent or temporary.
1. temporary: i hope that it's temporary, and in this case maybe the splurge was caused because of my high sodium intake american diet before and my body adapting to the sudden change of low sodium, low carb, mostly whole foods. idk what other peoples experience with this is but maybe after i do the diet long enough my body will be more used to it.
2. permanent: my other guess is that its a more permanent thing i have to deal with. in this case its probably caused by not enough intake of sodium or sugar. i saw Whitepill saying you should have a small amount of sodium in your diet to prevent splurges, but i was doing that and still splurged. (obviously diff stuff works for diff ppl tho, not tryna put down his methods or anything). if it is more permanent, then ima just have to get better self control which i dont rlly have any of right now if im being honest.
