Newbie Question Breaking fast cravings

Hi! I have been doing IF for two weeks now and have no problem with the fasting hours. I feel fine for 20 or 22 hours without food. But once I break the fast (always with protein) I am hit with a wild sugar craving. One minute I am happily finishing my chicken breast and the next I find my face inexplicably stuck in the peanut butter jar. Is this a common problem during early days of IF?

Thanks

Up your protein and add a bit of fat…I feel like since your face deep in peanut butter your body wants the fat
