Let's talk about CRAVINGS. We are told to just "deal with it," "force it" or "harness willpower." But, that only takes us so far. Cravings have a way of persisting despite what we do... up until now!
Here's a new way of thinking of things...
Cravings are messages from the body. The body CRAVES that which it requires for survival; carbohydrates, aka "sugar!" Of course craving an apple is a little different than craving a piece of cheese cake. In this episode we tweeze apart these two distinct circumstances - physiologic cravings vs. psychologic cravings... it is a bit blurry and hard to navigate at times, but this information should help!
