I don't think the cravings go away exactly; you just layer a mild (defensive?) eating disorder on top. For example, when I eat valueless empty carbs, the waves of depression & the feeling of dread in the pit of my stomach prevent me from even tasting it or enjoying it. Winning...? It's a strange, thin line to walk. Trans fats are unhealthy in any quantity, so I refuse to eat them. But they are still (secretly) all over the place, so in practice it looks a lot like an eating disorder. It's easy to take it too far, but "just because you're paranoid, does not mean they're not out to get you."
