Craving Carbs

[Jewel]

I went through a rough time for about a year where I became anorexic. During this time, I started craving breads and other carbohydrates. Does anybody know why this was? I never asked a doctor or therapist about it, and I'm wondering if anybody else knew. This period occurred over 3 years ago, so it is not ongoing.

I would guess because carbs are easy to convert to fuel for the body and when you don't eat, your body starts breaking down its tissues for fuel instead. Your body was trying to say "Stop killing me and give me fuel".
