What to Do About Cravings

Cravings occur for several different reasons. It can be because you haven’t eaten lately and your blood sugars are low. Avoid these types of cravings by eating something every three hours.

Sometimes cravings are due to overdoing the sugar the previous few days and then the next day having eaten very little of it. Your body is waiting for its next dose of sugar.

Vegetarians often have cravings for sweets if they don’t eat enough protein or other nutrients found in meat.

It also could be because of nutrient deficiencies. This can be especially true for women in their forties and fifties during the pre-menopausal and menopausal stages of life.

If a craving does strike, try to find out exactly what you are craving. Sometimes it is obvious and other times it can be narrowed down to something that is as simple as a drink of water. Here are the usual suspects: bread-type (danishes, muffins, cinnamon buns, cakes), salty, spicy, sweet (chocolate), sour and crunchy. Knowing this will stop you from raiding all the cupboards and eat what you specifically desire. Eat a smaller portion of it, slowly enjoying every mouthful of it.
