What are your cravings telling you?

Trying to lose weight without addressing your cravings & hormones could be futile. One of the fastest ways to completely trash your health and sabotage fat-loss is to let your blood sugar run wild.

You might be thinking, "Shouldn't only diabetics be the one concerned with blood sugar level?" But this is further from the truth. Your blood sugar level has a big impact on your cravings and hormones.

If you find yourself constantly craving for foods, then your blood sugar is most likely the culprit that is making you hungry.When you control your blood sugar level, you won't get much cravings anymore.

Let's go through 2 foods that you should take note of to reduce cravings.

Breads and Pasta  
If you find yourself craving for foods high in simple carbohydrates, it is because of blood sugar imbalances. Craving carbs means you need more complex carbohydrates to regulate your blood sugar  level. Your body also need more proteins from leafy vegetables to balance out the blood sugar level too.

Cakes and Donuts
Cakes and donuts have excessive sugar that will cause your blood sugar level to spike. These foods are usually full of saturated and trans fats which are harmful to your body too. If you really want to go for such foods, control your portion.
