Why Do We Crave Sugary Food?

| Why Do We Crave Sugary Food? |
For many of us, the sight of a freshly glazed doughnut can
feel like falling in love and coming home to a pack of unopened cookies can
feel like the adult version of Christmas morning. There’s something about sugar
that hooks us and keeps reeling us in again and again. Whether we like it or
not sugar has a major hold on us.
If you’re reading this it’s highly likely you understand and have the first-hand experience, of this allure. Sugar isn’t just confectionery,
it’s a compulsion; there is no such thing as stopping after “just one.” I mean,
if one is good, more is better. At least that’s what it feels like with the
sweet stuff.
We are given many reasons for our sugar cravings:
pleasure-seeking brain circuits, intestinal parasites, mineral deficiencies,
malnutrition, habitual behavior, unbalanced diets, too much salt, buried emotional
issues, lack of sleep, stress.... and my favorite, lack of discipline. We are
not at a loss for reasons for our addiction to sugar, yet knowing isn’t enough
to change us or our behavior. If knowing was enough we would all be winning
gold medals and gold stars in every area of our life. If anything, knowing just
makes it feel worse... we know better so why aren’t we doing better? Knowing
becomes just another reason for us to feel bad about ourselves.
The next step to knowing is to try and do something about
it. We take matters into our own hands and attempt to turn our sugar-loving
switch from on to off. This is not a painless process, and just when we feel
we’re making ground something happens to throw us off and we’re on a mission to
hunt down any sugar we can find and back at the start.
When we decide to target our sugar dependency, we attack the
sugar itself, we clear the pantry, empty the house of all products and declare
sugar the enemy. And this is fine... except it doesn’t work. When we create an
action plan like this, we’re a few steps too far ahead and facing the wrong
direction. We don’t address what’s really happening.
The key: target the true problem, not the side-effect of the
problem. And sugar cravings are the side-effect, they’re the symptom of the
real problem, and treating symptoms never makes the problem resolved. The only
way to create true, long-standing change is to address the root cause...
otherwise, you’re just wasting your time and prepping yourself for another
future sugar-binge.
What is the root cause? Leptin resistance. One way to target
leptin resistance is with a product called leptitox, a blend of 22 all-natural
ingredients that work with your body to reverse leptin resistance and its effects. When leptin resistance occurs in our body we have a malfunctioning
system. This malfunction will produce troublesome symptoms. Not only does
leptin resistance increase hunger but it creates cravings! That’s a recipe for
disaster! Not only will you be hungry but you’ll be hankering after the worst
foods imaginable...
We may have blamed everything else under the sun for our
inability to stop reaching for the next cookie... everything but leptin
resistance. If you want to see real movement and change you’ll need to target leptin
resistance and do something to “fix” it.
Leptitox is just the way to address the growing problem of
leptin resistance since it has been created to target and address it. Leptitox
is a blend of 22 carefully selected herbs, amino acids, and vitamins with the
ability to help your body address the real cause of leptin resistance. It will
change everything you thought you knew about weight loss.
