Hormonal imbalance or weak digestion can lead to low serotonin. Low blood sugar or low serotonin sends a signal to the brain that it needs a pick-me-up. It is this signal — which you don't consciously control — that causes a craving for sugar or carbohydrates.

Read More »Cravings and hormonal imbalance. Cravings can be associated with your menstrual cycle, especially when they occur at predictable intervals. If you also experience depression, irritability, or mood swings — all common with hormonal fluctuation — your cravings may be connected to hormonal imbalance. A lack of healthy nutrition is frequently linked to hormonal imbalance and can cause cravings because you’re not getting consistent quality “fuel” — lean protein, enough fiber, complex carbohydrates, essential fats, and valuable micronutrients.

Cravings and weight loss. When you’re trying to lose weight, you may be nearly overcome with the urge to eat carbs and sweets. If you have tried many different methods to lose weight, without success, your cravings may well be wrapped into the overarching issue of weight loss resistance. Underlying imbalances related to your metabolism can cause you to hold onto weight even while you are actively trying to get rid of it, and cravings often accompany this process.

Cravings and adrenal imbalance: If you have cravings and are under stress, feel anxious much of the time, or you have insomnia, it can be related to your adrenal function, specifically a type of imbalance that can lead to exhaustion. You may notice that you need caffeine to wake up, and you crave sweets, salty foods, and more caffeine during the day — then carbohydrates or alcohol at night. You may also experience other adrenal imbalance symptoms, including deep fatigue and unexplained weight gain.

Read More »What you can do today Eat breakfast — and make it a healthy one with a source of protein. Add a serving of fruit or a whole grain, and enjoy a big cup of herbal or green tea. You won’t be hungry ‘til lunch. Why it works Starving yourself or skipping meals leads to overeating and sends a distress signal to your brain that triggers cravings. Eating regular nutrient-rich meals and snacks, especially breakfast, can help prevent this from happening. If you blame and scold yourself for your food cravings, it will only make your mood worse and increase your need for serotonin, which can introduce a pattern of emotional eating. Carbohydrate cravings aren’t usually a behavioral problem but instead have genuine, biological causes that are usually related to inadequate nutrition and metabolic imbalance. To break the vicious cycle and reduce your food cravings, give your body real support — and lots of it. Time and again, we’ve seen women curb cravings by eating healthy foods, adding pharmaceutical-grade nutritional supplements, and getting regular, moderate exercise, and adequate sleep. Because health is your body’s natural state, metabolism will heal itself when it receives the necessary nutritional support. If your metabolism has been damaged, it can take time, but it will happen. Then you can still enjoy dessert occasionally — even chocolate — but you won’t be controlled by strong cravings.
