So what is the significance of food cravings for weight loss?
If you have a look at most people’s supermarket trolleys at the checkout, you’ll notice that most people consume a significant amount of refined & processed carbohydrates. Everything is processed & reprocessed, then packed in plastic bags or cardboard boxes.
What happens when you eat these refined carbs. They turn into sugar & then your body stores them as fat. This is what develops cravings. Your body craves what you already have in it – which becomes a vicious cycle.
You eat more refined carbs, which creates more sugar, which is promptly turned into fat etc etc
So how do we fix this? The opposite is also true! when you remove sugar from your diet, your insulin levels begin to drop & your energy levels go up & stay up longer. Your biochemistry has changed in a positive way. Little changes add up quickly because your biochemistry changes on a daily basis.
You get new cravings & you’ll notice you no longer crave refined carbs anymore. From here, the correct choices are easier to make!
In the beginning, you need conscious volition to get those cravings out of the system. However, once you start, you keep going & eventually it becomes easier & easier!
Instead of having a vicious cycle working against you, you’ll have a new, wonderful cycle working for you!
The benefits will be amazing! Once you’ve removed sugar from your diet, you’ll notice you’re not as insulin resistant & you’ll have more energy. Become addicted to all the good things from now on, eg fresh fruit juice or fruit smoothie.
BEAUTIFY YOURSELF FROM THE INSIDE OUT!
While it may not happen overnight, taking the first step means you’re on the right path & the changes will happen quickly! Understanding cravings for weight loss is thereby super important!
To your optimum health, well being & ideal weight!
