I forgot to add..i think the most important thing is not to stress yourself with pressurising thoughts..which we tend to do...remember it is our intentions that are important...... so if you have that white bun...then just think ..oh well ill have raw or whatever next time..and keep repeating your intention....(:

If your body said "yum! let's have more" and your BRAIN said "naughty naughty, we shouldn't have this," I'd say your brain is misleading you. Your body knows what it wants & needs. Maybe 5 months was lomng enough to clean you out and heal up a bit and now you're ready to move forward & replenish the food banks, so to speak.

craving sugar can also be a sign of adrenal fatigue... how are your energy levels?

It sounds like candidiasis. I say that because I got very sick when I went 100% raw. My body could not handle the fruit sugars, and my immune system rapidly fell apart. Since then, I have been noticing this is a problem for quite a number of people who went raw and ended up with a major health crisis. I realize yours is only a craving--not a major health crisis--but it's a craving for sweets and insatiable hunger--both clear indications that the yeast is out of balance. The solution for me (and many on this site, I have discovered) is to totally eliminate fruits and any sweet food, and to add cooked food, cultured food (probiotics keep yeast in check), and keep up the juices (greens, carrot, but NO fruit). Sometimes, if the condition is severe enough, you need a doctor's program with medication and supplements.

I really don't see the problem with adding some cooked grains to your salads... especially millet and quinoa..
being 80% raw, and drinking green veggie juice or taking enzyme supplements when eating cooked food is not the 'end of the world'.. if you are getting the enzymes with a sip of green juice with every bite of your cooked food, you are a winner.

I used to crave sugar so bad until I found green smoothies. Since green smoothies l have not had any refined sugar. That is a miracle for me.

I used to be obsessed with the label 100% raw. It is just to rigid for me and I have to listen to my body. So all I can say is listen to yours. Everyone is unique
