i'm the silver lining covered in gold

I get a lot of questions about craving junk food at night… and to be honest.. I crave junk food at night too… especially sweets!
The reason we crave sugar in the afternoon/at night is because our brain and body are looking for energy… and they want that energy NOW. Simple carbs like sugar (simple carbs are also found in most junk food) gives us a burst of energy. However as most of us know from some intense candy binge sessions as kids (and even sometimes now), that burst of energy is usually followed by a hard crash. If you find yourself craving these things at night, it’s a sign that your body is slowing down for the evening. If you are going to eat anything at this point, make it something healthy like nonfat cottage cheese. If you have already eaten your allotted calories for the day, make a big cup of hot tea with a little Stevia to kill the sweet craving.. and stay OUT of the kitchen!
