Lynnet,

Sounds like you've been this for a very long time, and passionate about it. You stated,  "If you want to get rid of all cravings remove all plant matter from your diet and only eat from the animal world." 
That sentence really caught my attention. Seems as though "my cravings" live in my mind. I may not give in to them, and hope that they will totally fade in time, but I think of those tastes that I love so well. Just like the alcoholic, or former smoker ~ that "want" never completely leaves. They just CAN'T, unless they want to pay a huge price.

Am I wrong on this??? Most of my friends that I question on the subject seem to agree with my theory. 

Now, if you're truly convinced that eating nothing but from the animal world will "cure cravings", wipe the thought from my "mind", I'll put this to the test.  

Thanks Lynnet!

Katie

  Not actually true.  If all-meat diets work best for some people, more  
  power to them. But in our temperate climate, plant foods are available  
   from late spring through late fall, at least six months.  If you are an  
  Inuit, plant foods are seldom available, but most of us
  are not.  I don't really think Paleo man would have turned down fruits,  
  vegetables, herbs, nuts, and mushrooms; they would hardly have walked  
  right past a source of edible and delicious foods.

  What is true is that they would not have eaten the SAME plant foods year  
  around.  Each individual food may only be available for a few weeks.  But  
  out of hundreds of edible plants used by hunter-gatherer groups, something  
  was available during the growing season.  If you lived in tropical areas,  
  something would be available at nearly all times of the year.  Eating  
  seasonally is a big help in avoiding food sensitivies, cravings, etc.
