What are your food cravings really telling you? Usually when you crave something, that is your brain signalling that it is lacking a certain nutrient, and so it will automatically gravitate to the things that are easy, un-healthy and leave us wanting more (since the foods we often gravitate to will momentarily satisfy us, however, our brains will keep on firing, and telling us to eat more – since we didn’t give it the proper nutrients – which leads us into a rabbit hole of over-eating).

Our environment is also a major trigger for food cravings. Social situations, visual cues, and smells, are ways in which we delve into our deep-rooted food desires.
