#211 | MM - What About Sugar Cravings!?

Alter Your Health

Let's talk about CRAVINGS. We are told to just "deal with it," "force it" or "harness willpower." But, that only takes us so far. Cravings have a way of persisting despite what we do... up until now!
Here's a new way of thinking of things...
Cravings are messages from the body. The body CRAVES that which it requires for survival; carbohydrates, aka "sugar!" Of course craving an apple is a little different than craving a piece of cheese cake. In this episode we tweeze apart these two distinct circumstances - physiologic cravings vs. psychologic cravings... it is a bit blurry and hard to navigate at times, but this information should help!
