The topic for today’s episode is one that EVERYONE can relate to… but what you will learn may surprise you! That topic is cravings, and Carrie is going to talk all about the different reasons we get them, how to figure out exactly what your body is telling you, AND how to confront your cravings head-on!
It is NOT about your willpower and you do NOT have to be a slave to cravings for the rest of your life! In this episode, Coach Carrie discusses…
Two Types of Cravings
Physical cravings- your body telling you it is LOW on something
Emotional cravings- can feel physical, but should be “fed” differently
Cravings as Signals
88% of deaths right now are from a metabolic disease
Metabolic diseases come from perpetually dysregulated blood sugar
High cholesterol, high blood pressure, stroke, cander, diabetes, obesity, heart disease
Your body sends you SIGNALS about this dysregulated blood sugar, and cravings is one of these signals
Speaking your Body’s Love Language
You are NOT going to be able to differentiate between physical and emotional cravings until you can speak the same language as your body
You are NOT going to be able to properly fuel your body through intuitive eating… until you can speak the same language as your body
We can just eat whatever we want without thinking about it, because our body’s won’t get what they need
We also can’t be super obsessive and tracking and depriving and never going out… because that is not living
You need to understand food and how it works in your body by learning the language of blood sugar stabilization
The Cause of Physical Cravings
Blood sugar roller coasters
Hormones are out of whack
When we do not fuel but we expend energy, our body’s react
Low blood sugar sparks physical cravings for sugar/carbs for quick energy to pull up your blood sugar
When you do NOT feed those physical cravings, your body pulls from your muscle
When we later binge… your blood sugar gets really high… and your metabolism slows
Confronting Physical Cravings
When you balance your blood sugar with food, your physical cravings go AWAY
Eat your protein FIRST, followed by fat and carbs last
Fuel with PFC every 3-4 hours to keep your blood sugar balanced
