Sweet or Salty - Carbs Make You Crash-N-Burn!
For some people, sweet pastries and salty potato chips dominate their thoughts whenever they're tired and need a quick pick-me-up.
Are you a CARB ADDICT? Carb addicts have a definite need for that feel-good chemistry that's supposed to naturally occur in your body.
When you eat carbohydrates, it makes your body create serotonin and endorphins, which offer instant solace to anxiety or frustration.
Almost like an anti-depressant, the carb-laden foods lift your spirits, if only for a few moments until the effects wear off.
If you're addicted to carbs, you might be seeing other effects - the kind that wreak havoc on your body and contribute to weight gain and sluggishness. We slough off these concerns by bragging about our addiction to "good old, home-cooked foods," but in reality, these foods are often the source of many health problems later on in life.
You can learn how to make your carb cravings subside and get on a path toward healthy eating that nourishes your body and helps you feel good without using carbs as a crutch.

Good Carb, Bad Carb
First of all, let's get rid of the notion that all carbs are evil. No one is labeling carbs a "steer-clear" food.But there are certain kinds of carbs that you should limit in your diet, even if you don't get rid of them completely.
There are carbs in just about all foods that we consumer, but some have more than others. High-carb foods include bread, pasta, potatoes, beans, rice, pastries and cereal. The World Health Organization says that we ought to be getting 55-75% of our energy from carbs, but a mere 10% from simple carbs (sugar-laden ones).
Carbs play a role in your health, so ridding your diet completely of carbs could do more harm than good. Carbs are just simple organic compounds that help you store energy. They also help your immune system, assist in blood clotting, and contribute to the fertilization process.
When you look at a food, ask it, "What have you done for me lately?" Sure, it gave you energy, but it also added 3 pounds to your outer thighs. You want to choose smart carbs, like fruit, whole grain breads, and other foods that deliver health benefits when you consume them.
Candida can lead to many of your carb carvings - and sugar cravings as well. It thrives on carbs and can cause yeast infections.

Expert Advice on How to Manage Your Cravings!

Fetching RSS feed... please stand byCarbohydrates (from 'hydrates of carbon') or saccharides (Greek meaning "sugar") are simple organic compounds that are aldehydes or ketones with many hydroxyl groups added, usually one on each carbon atom that is not part of the aldehyde or ketone functional group.
Carbohydrates are the most abundant of the four major classes of biomolecules, which also include proteins, lipids and nucleic acids. They fill numerous roles in living things, such as the storage and transport of energy (starch, glycogen) and structural components (cellulose in plants, chitin in animals).
Additionally, carbohydrates and their derivatives play major roles in the working process of the immune system, fertilization, pathogenesis, blood clotting, and development.
