Why Do We Get Sugar Cravings

For most of my life, I had sugar cravings. I was just like most of the people who has sugar cravings.

As a baby , I was raised on sugar and processed foods. Fast-food, snack cakes, candy, sugary sodas, and I ate all of it without thinking twice about what it might do to me and my health.

But this all changed when I turned 30. I began to notice how worn out I was feeling and how easily I was getting sick. I always felt that I knew a good deal about nutrition until I started to learn the powerful role that diet plays in our level of wellness.

One of my good friends is a nutritionist and works for a practice. She told me that as a nutritionist, she started seeing a common thread woven among many of her patients. They all seemed to complain of chronic fatigue symptoms, bloating, being overweight, constipation, and skin problems. And what is more fascinating is that they all seemed to confess to her how they constantly craved sugar and how difficult it was to break this addiction.
