Sugar Cravings
Posted on February 27th, 2011 in Nutrition
I have a sugar craving; in your opinion, what would be the best way to break it?
The insulin in your blood is looking for the sugar (glucose) to maintain a safe level to cater to your energy need. You can try eating ‘slow burning carbs’, i.e., releasing glucose at a steady rate so you have continuous but a ‘much’ slower’ rate (NO glucose peak in about 2 hours and then reach 70s and 80s probably when you feel sugar craving!) of glucose in your blood stream. These are whole grain granola bar, good quality pasta, Uncle Ben’s rice (par-boiled). Also recommend including a good amount of ‘greens’ in your diet.
I can discuss some novel approaches to alleviate this issue!!
