Let’s examine the underlying causes of cravings. Once you grasp the origins of cravings, you'll understand why attempts to overcome them through sheer willpower tend to be ineffective. Below, we'll delve into the key factors responsible for those persistent cravings
Physical Factors
​
1.Eating Sugary Foods: When you eat sugary foods like chocolate, cookies or candy, your body experiences a quick surge in your blood sugar levels. This rapid spike gives you a burst of energy, but it's short-lived. Afterward, your blood sugar levels drop, and your body craves more sugar to bring them back up. This cycle of eating sugar, feeling a rush, and then craving more sugar is what keeps you reaching for sweets.
​
2.High Insulin Levels: Insulin is like a key that helps your body use sugar for energy. When you have too much sugar, your body releases a lot of insulin. High levels of insulin can make your cells resistant to it, which means they don't respond well to insulin anymore. This is known as insulin resistance. To compensate, your body produces even more insulin, and this can lead to stronger sugar cravings.
​
3. Lack of Sleep: Sleep functions like a reset button for your body. If you don't get adequate sleep, it messes with your body's hunger and fullness hormones. When you sleep less than 7 hours each night, the next day, you have more of the hunger hormone, ghrelin, and less of the satiety hormone, leptin. This leads your body to believe you're hungry, even when you're not. As a result, it triggers cravings for sugary foods as a quick energy fix. Therefore, insufficient sleep can exacerbate your sugar cravings, making them more challenging to resist.
Mental & Emotional Factors
1. Inability to Cope with Stress: High stress levels can be a powerful trigger for sugar cravings. When you're stressed, your body releases hormones like cortisol, which can increase your appetite and specifically lead to cravings for high-sugar, high-fat comfort foods. These foods provide a quick, albeit temporary, sense of relief from stress.
​
2. Emotional State: Your mood and emotions play a big role in your sugar cravings. If you're feeling sad, lonely, or anxious, sugary foods can give you a temporary feeling of comfort or happiness. So, when your emotional state is not at its best, it's common to reach for sugary foods to try and improve your mood.
