11 months into this craziness with Covid-19, I started to see the patients complaining about certain food cravings. This Dr. Jocker’s article might interest you to read if you have Salt, Sweets, Chocolate, Dairy, and Red Meat. I see a lot of “Carb” craving patients lately. It could be from after holiday syndrome by eating a lot of carbohydrates. Your stomach is basically in the expanded mode. The more you tired, stressed out, or time strained, you crave carbs to bring up your blood sugar level as quickly as possible. Have you noticed you gained weights just around the belly but not other parts even though you do a ton of exercises? Suspect your cortisol level and the lack of “deep” sleep.
Anyway, I hope this article will help you to understand these 5 food cravings!
