I haven’t ate McDonald’s in at least 2 years if not more (and before that I ate it sparingly) But for some reason everytime I see mcdonalds or imagine it I do crave it. But I don’t get it. I eat decent food, including well made burgers. And I can go get food from somewhere else if I don’t feel like cooking. So I don’t get it (and I don’t think it’s entirely nostalgia)
buy 28% fat mince, get a pan to a high heat, make a small mince ball, put the mince ball on the hot pan for 10 seconds on one side, then flip it over, parchement paper over the top and press down with the bottom of a small pot to make the patty, fry for 3-4 minutes, flip, add american cheese, toast buns, add mustard, franks hot sauce and 2 pickles.
Salt the patties
I usually make mines a double.
Congrats you have 4-5 burgers for 4-5 quid.
this burger will be 10x better than any mcslop burger and literally like 10% of the price
also as to why this happens
its the same reason cuba banned advertising, that shit is brain worms.
2 years? Mental addiction more than physical. You’ve gone without it and can see readily available so it’s in your face but you haven’t substituted it with a good addiction. Hence the craving.
If you were addicted to something else that was healthy for you, you would be able to take or leave the McDonald’s without any mental burden. The trick is to find that something else.
Honestly, just eat it, let it out of your system. You will probably be disappointed at how the taste became worse over time haha. For me, it’s better to do it than keep repressing yourself, which at least for me, only makes the desire stronger
girl the boycott
idk if you’re craving the fries too but this is the original recipe from before they made it suck https://www.atlasobscura.com/articles/original-mcdonalds-french-fry-recipe
they put addictive chemicals in it
Cravings are normal. It’s why changing your diet is so hard.
Fastfood is literally engineered to be addictive.
Knowing this makes me feel better about being off the veganism wagon.
What specifically are you craving? Sometimes craving something is due to a mineral or vitamin you need and you can find out what it is and eat something healthy with that in it.
Their fries and my usual order (two mcdoubles). Maybe it’s sugar but beyond that I don’t think it’s a deficiency issue
Could try just eating a bit of red meat, and something with healthy fat. Maybe a beef burrito with avocado?
Partly the problem is that you probably haven’t been sufficiently disgusted enough yet. I weaned myself off a lot of things, but the first few years the cravings and the cheat days kept happening. They just got less and less frequent until one day I cheated and whatever it was turned out to be really gross.
2 years is still in the window of time where your cravings are still coming through. They will fade eventually. Trust me.
