i'm not saying they do, but it was suggested to me when i've explained to a couple of professionals my cravings at certain times.
i could put this in a few different forums (depression, weight) but i wanted to put it here because i'm looking for good alternatives to feed in a healthy way what my body seems to be craving. i've ALWAYS craved carbs...an unnatural craving from my soul almost...so much so that i panic if i don't have soft pretzels or bread in the house. i remember being a little girl and getting 6 slices of bread at one time, balling it into a dough ball and eating it. anyhow, i'm doing it again, and have many, many times in my life. it's to the point that it's all i want to eat. i was told before that it was odd how my body was telling me i was depressed and how to fix it. carbs are a natural antidepressant...with potentially bad side effects though...namely obesity anyhow, i was reading and it appears true. it helps in the release of seretonin, but it's short lived and body craves more leading to full fledged addiction. i was shocked to read about it. i'm honestly NO DOUBT a carb addict...because the payoff in my brain and with mood they suggested some good alternatives...omega3 fish fats and a couple of b vitamins. i need to read more. it answers so much for me. seriously, the other night i had no pretzels and felt i could cry...confused by that...going to anything in the kitchen that might make up for them...eating several things then. it's a drive coming from i don't know where, that i rarely think about when acting upon...until recently, that is. any information or relation is greatly appreciated.
