Thanx to Tamara at Daily Transformations for this article!
Most everyone has had a craving for a certain food at one time or another. For me, chocolate ice cream seems to be my biggest downfall in the cravings department!
But, did you know that cravings can signify something lacking in your diet that your body needs? Well, it can.
So, the next time you just HAVE to run out to the store at midnight to grab a carton of Rocky Road, remember that your craving may be your body’s way of saying “Hey! I need some help here!”
As a side note – knowing what a craving can signify can greatly increase your chances of success when trying to lose weight if you’re one who ‘falls off the diet wagon’ due to an almost unholy urge for cheesecake or salty French fries!
