CARVINGS
AVOID
Becoming overly hungry, which can lead to overindulgence.
All of us occasionally have an irr3wiwtible urge for a certain food or beverage. But merely having a sudden need for a particular food does not constitute a true craving, nor does indulging in an occasional chocolate, ice cream l or other favorite food. A craving goes much deeper-it’s and insistent desire that your can’t ignore, even though satisfying it may entail considerable inconvenience or even danger.
Occasional cravings may be in response to stress, hormonal changes, or excessive hunger. More obsessive cravings, however, can stem from a specific illness,, addiction, or deep-seated psychological problem.
Recent research suggests that hormonal changes are responsible for many food cravings, especially those that develop during periods of stress, pregnancy, or different phases of a woman’s menstrual cycle. Following this theory, fluctuating hormonal levels may influence the brain’s production of serotonin and other chemicals-changes that can trigger an intense desire for specific foods. Under these circumstances, a person usually craves chocolate or other sweets, researchers think this is because sugars are a quick source of glucose, which the brain needs for energy. Eating a diet high in whole grain, starchy foods along with moderate amounts of protein may prevent the craving for sweets because these complex carbohydrates and protein are metabolized more slowly than sugars, thus providing a steady supply of glucose.
