What Causes Food Cravings and Carbohydrate Addiction?

I took this from the American Heart Association:

What is “carbohydrate craving” or “carbohydrate addiction?”

These terms are used in a theory about the relationship between carbohydrate, insulin and appetite. (The body uses the hormone insulin to convert sugar, starch and other foods into energy.) We know that eating carbohydrates raises insulin, which then lowers blood sugar. This causes a desire (or craving) for more food and, in some people, carbohydrates.

No Extreme Diets….

Neither the American Heart Association, nor I are advocating any extreme sort of diet here though, but have found that sufficient amounts of required amino acids and protein will eliminate cravings for sweets and starchy food that tends to make me gain weight! I also feel better when I have taken in an adequate amount of protein, and have reduced my sugar and starch intake. My own experience is a reduction in an achy feeling in my muscles and headaches. I also tend to feel more energized and able to tackle life’s tasks.
