The Addictiveness of Common Foods

If you are not free from compulsive eating and addiction (or craving if we want the acceptable term) you will live in slavery to this world and to your weight issue.

Isn't the term addiction a little strong?

Food cravings are one of the subtle, cultured forms of addiction and compulsive behavior that are very difficult to discern. It is pretty much acceptable to have an addiction when it comes to food. We all have them and we all treat people with this particular addiction - addiction to food - entirely different to someone who is addicted to alcohol or other drugs.

Whereas someone who craves alcohol would be encouraged to seek help, those of us who crave sugary or salty snacks are often - if not all the time - encouraged to indulge in our addictions. And if we don't indulge we will often hear the retory "Why deprive yourself?"

"Oh just have a little it isn't going to hurt your diet"

Can you honestly say that the foods you crave are not addictions?

Most foods that are craved have no nutritional benefit to you and can cause and contribute to a number of different healthy conditions like excess weight and disabetes. Why would you want to eat these foods other than for comfort and pleasure?

You wouldn't. It is your addiction to them that makes you eat them.

Food has the power to control you in this way. Sugar, salt and foods laced with fat are emotionally and physically addictive.

In order to rid yourself of these substances from your life, the first step is to admit there is a problem. This is one of the hardest things to do, especially when you think you are eating that sandwich out of hunger.

But cravings are a bent form of hunger and it is quite possible that you may have never felt what true hunger feels like. You are probably used to the hunger that gets your stomach growling, that makes you feel agitated and that results in you needing food right then and there.

That is not hunger - it is addiction.

Addiction is anything that has become stronger than your willpower to change.

You can't give up your coffee in the morning, because you need it to get through the day.

You sit mindlessly watching TV, dipping into a bag of chips even though you are not really hungry but bored.

You deserve a treat at the end of your busy day (can you really consider it a treat though?)

"One burger isn't going to hurt"

Bread, sweets, coffee, meat, and salt among a million other foods, provide you with false needs and behavior patterns that are destructive to your well being and can have a greater authority in behavior than the natural desire to eat and drink. The salt, fat and crunch of junk food offer emotions of fulfillment that are lacking because of a spiritual vacuum - a feeling deep down inside that something is missing.

Emotional emptiness is the source of addiction in most cases - dependency on pleasure to temporarily numb our feelings of hopelessness is usually the root issue.

The sensations of hunger and thirst are homeostatic mechanisms, which help the body maintain optimum levels of energy, nutrients and water. When addictive foods are eaten repeatedly, the body adjusts homeostasis to be balanced with the food in the system. Over time the body will become dependent on that substance for homeostatic balance and its removal will cause withdrawal. The body cries out for the missing substance as just intense hunger cries for food.

Control has been established on the inside of you. Even if there is an intense desire to lose weight or a bad habit, there is often failure and discouragement.

We want to encourage you and help you break these bonds. We want you to overcome these addictions. So we have compiled a dieting guide that not only covers the basics to diet but also gives you help to combat your cravings for good.

Cravings are one of the most - if not THE most - difficult obstacles to weight loss and weight loss maintenance.

We can help you overcome one of the biggest obstacles to weight loss maintenance: cravings.
