Decode your cravings fast!

Do you ever find yourself craving certain foods? Quite often the foods we crave are the ones we wish we could stay away from…such as things high in sugar content or high in saturated fats!

However there is new research to suggest that the cravings we have are not in fact anything to do with the sweetness of the food, but instead to do with emotional issues.

For example nuts contain a high level of pyrazine, which in fact stimulates the pleasure part of the brain, craving them therefore is meant that you are in need of a fix of fun! So the next time you crave nuts, why not plan a little adventure or a girly day with friends. Take yourself away from work for a few hours and really enjoy life!

Crisps are another craving many of us can’t quite seem to drop! They are not the best foods for us yet ‘once you pop you just can’t stop!’ However it isn’t just the taste that may attract you to such a food produce, wanting to devour crunching things is actually a sign of stress. Both the noise and sensation of eating crunchy foods lets out all that unwanted built up tension!

Curry is another craving many may experience on a regular basis! This isn’t the best craving to have as it may mean you are a little down in the dumps. Often craving exotic cuisine in fact means you want to be somewhere far away! Why not plan a holiday instead…the amount you spend on curry a week will add up in no time!

All these craving are not so good for our figures, which is why we need to hit them on the head ASAP! Try and revamp your life as well as your food. This way you will be able to fit into that LBD just in time for all the up and coming events!
