Just wondering.

Is it like a sign, for example, right now, I have some chocolate spread in the fridge, and I am literally craving it! Is this actually a way of the body telling me I am needing something, like sugar?


Thanks
 
What about when I'm craving alcohol...whats my body telling me?

Like right now, I don't NEED a beer, but I know there are a few bottles of Cobra in the fridge...and I REALLY want them...for no reason...


:p
 
I was reading this:

http://www.gallbladderattack.com/sugarcravings.shtml

I'm shocked, I'm falling asleep around 1-2 every day when I'm doing nothing active, and I put it down to that "afternoon crash", I am finding most days I need to take an afternoon nap, I got back form a 50 mile bike ride in the hills and felt I needed a nap.

Is this enough cause to go to the doctor? I never thought it was medical untill I read that.
 
Stop eating excess sugar

When I did that and cut down on caffeine intake I felt less tired through the day

its telling you that you're an alcoholic
the 2nd statement is what they call denial down at the AA i believe lol
 
Ive often thought that when i get a craving for some foodstuff that i havent eaten in a longtime or usually dont eat thats its my bodies way of saying its needs some kind of nutrient or vitamin that the food contains.

But i guess theres not much your body could need from chocolate spread apart from the sugar lol.
 
Well, hunger is essentially your body running low on sugar. As for craving for specific foods, probably not. For example right now I could murder some Crunchy Nut Clusters... Mmmm... But I'm not really hungry nor would I want to eat anything else. Except maybe a cherry bakewell.
 
Most of my cravings are due to boredom.


Cravings! Not John Cravings! We're not talking John Cravings' News Round-up, no. We're talking cravings. What foods do we get cravings of?
