How many of us unwittingly always in need of a sweet tooth? Not just carbohydrates such as rice or potatoes, but something sweet like candy, cakes, and snacks. Examples of snacks: potato chips, chocolate, ice cream, chocolate milk. Dare you say "love" for sweet foods, not "need"? If you prefer, you can avoid it.
If needed, you can not live without it. Which you belong?Unconscious conscious, it turns out there are many people who need a sweet tooth. This is called a sugar craving. Sugar craving can be a major obstacle in the diet. Also a major source of obesity, which then leads to diabetes.
The main causes of sugar craving is too often consume more amounts of sugar and foods that have glikemiks index (GI) is high, so the hormones become unbalanced. High GI foods (carbohydrates, for example) is absorbed quickly by the blood in the form of glucose (sugar in the blood rises quickly), then the pancreas will release enough insulin to lower glucose levels in the blood. Excess glucose is incorporated into the adipose tissue, and then stored as fat.Remember, during the high insulin levels inhibiting fat burning, fat will continue to grow. Enough insulin will lower the amount of glucose in blood sugar, so that blood glucose levels become low.When blood glucose is low, we will feel hungry again, even the weak and sleepy.
We so want to eat something sweet again. We will be looking for chocolate or candy anymore, that will rapidly restore the blood sugar and high again, and again the pancreas to release insulin in significant amounts, again. This cycle continues over and over until we messed up hormonal balance, while rising sharply, while in free fall.Hormonal system is out of balance makes us easily tired, not powered, and lethargy. Most insulin provoke the body to store fat rather than burning fat.
The more often the cycle is repeated, will increase insulin resistance. That means it takes more insulin to lower blood sugar with the same number of causes of diabetes.A simple example, in the office after lunch, about 1 serving of rice with a lot, then the 2 hour blood sugar will rise sharply, and insulin also down sharply. About 3 hours we will be sleepy. And soon we are looking for a sweet snack to restore energy. Such a trivial incident led to an imbalance of hormones, fat storage, and increased risk of developing type 2 diabetes.
In addition to stimulating the hormone insulin, sugary foods also stimulate hormone serotonin in the brain. Serotonin is a hormone that can cause us to feel calm and happy. That's because of drinking chocolate milk, we feel a little quiet. That's why people who are under stress looking for sweet foods. Sugary foods increase serotonin drastically, but before long as well as blood sugar to drop drastically. As a result, we feel the need to eat sweet foods on an ongoing basis. Then become addictive.The solution, identify and change the menu that goes into the mouth. In this regard, carbohydrate. To balance hormones and relieve opiate sweets it takes time, motivation, and discipline. The initial steps you can take is to replace foods that have high glikemiks index to the lower one. For example, replace white rice with brown rice, potato chips with fresh apples.Look for carbohydrates which have glikemiks index below 55.
You can change your habits completely by following a variety of low-carbohydrate diet. But I suggest, do the changes gradually so that the results last a long time, without the attitude of revenge.The next step, eat nutritious balanced meals as much as 5-6 times a day so you do not always hungry, are not looking for a high-carbohydrate snacks that are unhealthy. Avoid accumulation of snacks in your home closet. Replace it with fresh fruit. Finally, increase your activity. Not in front of the tv, on the couch or bed while eating potato chips.
