Craving for foods that fake your senses, sounds very much like drug abuse. As growing older I have been striving to avoid potato chips and go for fruits. Apples are sweet and crunchy. Clementine hydrates a lot. Banana provides potassium to avoid cramps, and so on. No junk food provides any of these... Yet, they entice us...
That makes sense. We're eating delicious foods. Our bodies are wired to make healthy things delicious. But we're not getting any nutrients despite satisfying our cravings and eating delicious food. It makes sense that it'd mess something up.
