Sugar cravings aren't just about willpower, they're often your body's way of asking for something it's missing.
Here are a few common reasons why cravings show up:
- Blood sugar crashes (after a carb-heavy meal or snack)
- Poor sleep or chronic stress
- Low magnesium or chromium
- Not eating enough protein or healthy fat
Instead of fighting cravings, support your body with:
- Protein-rich meals (especially at breakfast)
- Healthy fats to keep you full
- Magnesium-rich foods like leafy greens, seeds, and legumes
Cravings are a message, not a failure. When you support your body's needs, they often quiet down on their own.
