cravings are good!<div><br /></div><div>Hunger or thirst are two basic craving signals that the body sends out.</div><div><br /></div><div>In fact these cravings are a call! </div><div><br /></div><div>They are signals the body sends out.</div><div><br /></div><div>With negative cravings, the same process happens.</div><div><br /></div><div>The body sends out a craving signal.</div><div><br /></div><div>The difference is that what it calls for is BAD for you.</div><div><br /></div><div>The difference between good and bad is not crystal clear.</div><div><br /></div><div>What is good for some can appear bad for others.</div><div><br /></div><div>For instance some people believe that a glass or red wine is good for your health while others don't buy into that idea and go for being alcohol free. </div><div><br /></div><div>This means that you need to use your own power of discrimination and identify for yourself your core nutrition values.</div><div><br /></div><div>In YOUR world, what is ok and what is not?</div><div><br /></div><div>That's the question you need to ask yourself.</div><div><br /></div><div>Your intuition will make a quick instinctual decision for most choices.</div><div><br /></div><div>For instance, if I ask you if a cheeseburger is good or bad for you, you know straight away the answer, right?</div><div><br /></div><div>Same with tobacco or donuts!</div><div><br /></div><div>With other foods, you might get mixed feelings related with conflicting impressions and information you might have about that specific food.</div><div><br /></div><div>When you are confronted with this dilemma, the best is to experiment!</div><div><br /></div><div>Try it out and find out what FEELS best for you.</div><div><br /></div><div>For instance, should you be alcohol free or is it better to drink socially every now and then?</div><div><br /></div><div>The best is to try both for a couple of weeks and feel what's best.</div><div><br /></div><div>This choice you make is for you and for you only.</div><div><br /></div><div>For now, remember that not all cravings are bad!</div><div><br /></div><div>You have good AND bad cravings.</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1'

craving means that you crave not for the food but for the associations you have with that specific food.<div><br /></div><div>For instance a warm meal reminds you of a family moment.</div><div><br /></div><div>A glass of red wine brings you back to social memories with friends.</div><div><br /></div><div>A chocolate bar reminds you of the comfort you felt.</div><div><br /></div><div>All these are emotional cravings.</div><div><br /></div><div>When you respond to that emotional craving, your goal is not to give your body an ingredient it misses, it is to generate in your being a given emotion.</div><div><br /></div><div>Of course, you know that the emotion itself will trigger a chain of biochemical reactions in your brain and body. </div><div><br /></div><div>So there is of course, even in the case of emotional cravings and physical aspect to it.</div><div><br /></div><div>I would say though that the core of that experience is emotional rather that physical.</div><div><br /></div><div>With physical cravings, the core of your craving is the physical need for a given compound.</div><div><br /></div><div>For instance when you feel like having an orange, you might be physically thirsty + need a vitamin C boost.</div><div><br /></div><div>If you feel like having cheese, you might need extra fat or protein.</div><div><br /></div><div>If you want coffee, you physically want to give your body a caffeine kick.</div><div><br /></div><div>The craving is PHYSICAL rather than emotional.</div><div><br /></div><div>Of course, the distinction we make now is often not as clear in real life and both physical and emotional craving will merge in one single desire for a specific food.</div><div><br /></div><div>The reason why I make this distinction is because the strategies to tackle this two types of cravings are quite different.</div><div><br /></div><div>We'll check that in detail in another post.</div><div><br /></div><div><br /></div><div

believe there are two key ingredients you crave for when you eat chocolate:<div><ul><li>Sugar</li><li>Stimulants</li></ul><div>The key is to GET those ingredients from other sources.</div><div><br /></div><div>So here are the strategies:</div><div><ul><li>Eat a piece of fruit like a banana or some dried fruit like sultanas - This tackles the sugar craving.</li><li>Eat some raw cacao beans - This tackles the stimulant side and gives you the stimulant kick in its raw form.</li></ul><div>Extra strategies include:</div><div><ul><li>Always carry some dried fruit in your pocket when you leave your house. You can even ad some raw cacao nibs + cashews to your mix. This will ad some healthy fat, carbs and stimulants to your mix.</li><li>Get rid of the chocolate which is in your kitchen.</li><li>Never go grocery shopping on an empty stomach!</li></ul></div></div><div>Enjoy!</div></div><div class="blogger-post-footer"><img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/4811860685950713840-445465506266134101?l=vitalcoaching.com%2Fblogs%2Ff1' alt='' /></div>vitalcoachhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15314585457515516430noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4811860685950713840.post-6417077153551348072010-02-26T02:55:00.000-08:002010-02-26T05:23:47.036-08:00"Chocolate contains several biologically active constituents.
