Cravings and insatiable!

[bellabloom 2,467]

Every once in awhile I have a day that I feel completely insatiable. I seem to crave sweets? But I'm not sure if that's what I am craving because when I do eat them I don't like them. . No amount of food seems to satisfy me- I can only eat small portions so I have to keep eating throughout the day.

I feel this urge, intense craving and I can't pin it down so I just keep trying different things!!

I can't figure out why this happens.

I am still trying to lose a couple more pounds so I've been keeping my calories about 1000-1200... Today I had 1600 which is the most I've had in weeks.

Is this my body trying to tell me not to lose anymore? Am I dehydrated?

Anyone else experiencing this?

It depends on what you are eating. Often when our body is craving carbs it manifest as craving sweets. Sometimes something with a bit of healthy fat like an ounce of nuts, a tbsp of nut butter, cheese cubes and maybe a tiny bit of dried fruit like raisins, cranberries or apricots or a bit of string cheese may hit the spot. I find I can eat a very small amount of fried fruit like 10 raisins and take care of that sweet craving. I'm not a nutritionist so I have no idea why that works. You may have to play around and see what works for you.

Wow.... Same here... I think your body is actually deficient in something else and it's manifested in the form of sweets... I usually drink Water to try and curve this before the issue gets out of control. Excersise also curves my cravings for sweets also
