WHY DO I CRAVE SUGAR and CAFFEINE?

Many of us have sugar cravings. They can control us and our eating habits. One of the reason we crave sugar or caffeine is because of low adrenal function.

The adrenals are hormone glands that sit above the kidneys. They provide energy in the form of adrenalin. Stress can off set this healthy process. When we’re stressed the adrenals secrete adrenalin as if we were preparing to fight a predator, depleting the body’s energy reserves. We can be left with little or no energy and fatigue.
That’s when we crave sugar or caffeine to force the adrenals to give the energy boost.

What can you do to stop sugar and caffeine cravings?

Sugar and caffeine cravings are like drug additions. They are real and are really hard to break. You can try gently cleansing the body internally and/or try adrenal supplements to end the cycle. After cleansing you’ll find that your energy level will likely improve along with mood and the power to make change.

Cleansing helps to change the kinds of food the body craves. It then becomes easier to replace junk foods in the diet with nutritious foods. A healthy body will crave healthy foods.
The next step is to begin replacing the high sugar and caffeine drinks with low-carb drinks, tea or even better purified H2O. This can help to keep down cravings and weight gain. After 30 Days of cleansing regularly (once a week), dietary cravings should be cured and healthy habits should come more naturally.

For sugar cravings the general rule is that the more refined carbohydrates you eat, the more you crave. The easiest way not to crave is to not eat ANY sweets or refined carbohydrates, including white flour, rice and pasta. Increasing protein intake can be very helpful too. For some people simply adding more protein to their diets cuts down their sugar cravings tremendously.
