Ask MetaFilter: Avoiding Death by Chocolate Chip Cookies
nbsp;Lifehacker.com, a nifty website, usually posts Ask MetaFilter roundups, one of which had the following question:
“What am I missing in my diet that I crave Chocolate Chip cookies all the time?:
“I want to eat chocolate chip cookies almost all the time. The only time I don’t want to eat them is the couple of days after a good workout or exercise. I haven’t been able to drink milk for years. I’m guessing there’s some kind of vitamin that gets produced when I work out that stifles the cravings? Maybe this vitamin (D?) is in chocolate and in milk? I can eat cheese, and do often.”
“On a normal day, I could eat 30 chocolate chip cookies. On the days after I workout, I could be wearing a shirt made of
chocolate chip cookies and not even want to eat them.”
“What gives? Is there some vitamin or nutrient I’m missing that I can take to stop me from consuming every chocolate chip cookie on earth? This has been going on for years. I need help figuring out how to stop. This is not healthy.”
