Forget about what your diet was like before and start replacing it with new, healthier items. Think of it this way: dairy, which is a huge part of many North American diets is terrible for you. Milk is a substance specifically made by mother cows to make their babies gain 500 lbs over the course of a year. Yikes. But don't feel bad because cheese has a protein called casein in it, which basically makes it as addictive as cocaine... So, I get it. You like your damn (not the word I wanted to use here) cheese. Too bad you need a lightning speed metabolism and a stomach of steel to eat it.
Our bodies are built to be lazy. Naturally they want to consume as many possible calories with the least amount of effort. So YEAH we crave really crappy high fat foods. It is called the pleasure trap. If you are interested in this, watch the link below.
