Beat Sugar Cravings for Good

Last week I talked about cereals and how a problem they’re able to cause with health. I feel this is as a result of the high processing and high sugar content with the cereal. Today a subject lots of people experience is cravings and cravings for sugar particularly(how many times do we crave a bag of spinach!!). We all have the urge for something sweet, it’s normal, it’s 2012 after all! But is there a reason you might be craving sugar excessively?

To be the greatest Personal Trainer or Health Care Practitioner needs a many solutions including endless hours of learning. We have during the last 2-3 years especially put a massive effort into gaining knowledge from the most effective in the industry, by getting certified by them, doing internships, attending seminars from the creme de la creme in world conditioning, people like Charles Poliquin, Dr Eric Serrano, Dr John Berardi and Phil Richards and the like. We now have the solutions to deal with many medical problems that include today’s topic — sugar cravings. A lot in the information is only available to your small number with the elite conditioning professionals all over the world and will not be over a Google search.

I find most of the people who may have sugar cravings have three major reasons why they certainly so:

1. High stress levels are a serious problem in Ireland with all the amount of people needing work at present. If you cannot cope well using the stress of everyday life plus your cortisol(the stress hormone) is usually high you will select comfort foods over health foods — this can bring about you storing fat around your waist especially. I try to talk more on this subject later on blogs if you desire me to then please comment below.

2. Poor sleeping patterns can wreak chaos on one’s body. I could talk for hours on end concerning the benefits of sleep and exactly how important it is for health. You dont feel like having a head of brocoli after a evening of uninterrupted or inadequate sleep would you? Its common, which ties along with point 1 we reach for poor foods during times of stress(bad sleep causes stress). Managing your sleeping problems can be challenging but there are lots of relaxation techniques, green tea and natural supplements which can help you accomplish proper sleeping patterns.

3. They overly restrict calories by cutting out almost all carbs without replacing them and dont understand or weren’t told the science of how to cope with a real diet and what nutrients are essential. If you take something faraway from someone you’ll want to give something back. Following this type of eating pattern can be very dangerous unless you comprehend the nutrients the body should function optimally or when is the best time to nibble on carbohydrates that when eaten in the right times might be highly beneficial. The problem is the drastic decrease in calories which is not being replaced sends the body into starvation mode. People who follow this kind of eating pattern will lose weight initially but many it not exclusively will binge on high sugar foods at some stage and «fall from the wagon completly» and customarily stop working out for a long. Educating clients as being a Personal Trainer strathfield Trainer is important and I feel a number of people are increasingly being mis lead through the internet now with lots of dietary fads promising this and that.

This is merely 3 in the common problems which I have handled during the past which i have found to affect sugar cravings — there are several more factors behind sugar cravings but I’m sure if you suffer them in the event you address the above mentioned 3 your cravings will likely be a smaller amount or even gone. There certainly are a number of other tricks and tips we’ve got picked up from various health professionals. I will list 5 below

1. Get to bed before 11 pm and target 8 hours sleep each night

2. Increase Fibre, Veg(Green especially) and Protein intake

3. When a carb craving strikes mix 2-10 grams of glutamine with 10 ounces of organic/heavy cream. This we acquired from Charles Poliquin and has worked well for most clients.

4. Eat or drink something bitter!

5. Take a good quality Fish Oil and Magnesium supplement

No more sugar!!
