Persephone,

I tried cutting down on fruit for a while and found it almost 
impossible.  It turned out I was eating meat that was too lean, and 
essentially suffering rabbit starvation - or, more accurately, pig&cow 
starvation.  Now I try to ensure that (by weight, not calories) I eat 
at least as much fat as meat, and my carb cravings have disappeared- to 
the point where I have to almost force myself to eat any veg at all.  I 
guess this is not strictly true- I would miss my daily plate of lettuce 
to go with the meat I eat, but the rest (onions, leeks, garlic, 
broccoli, mushrooms) I eat more for pleasure than need.
