Do You Have A Food Addiction?

Everyone from time to time gets a craving for a certain type of
food. Sometimes we just crave something to eat. No real reason,
other than to eat. Sometimes this can be because you are bored,
or because you seem something suggestive about food. How many
times have you seen a television commercial advertising burgers
and it made you want one? This is healthy. We all do it. Hell,
I’d say that we probably do this several times per week. Did you
know, that you can be addicted to food? I know that sounds a
little weird, but it is true. How can you tell if you are a food
addict? Sometimes it might not be as easy as you think. There
are many things that might come in your way of knowing if you
are a food addict. You might be depressed or in an emotional
downward spiral that will tarnish your ability to see what is
going on. Over a period of time, you will be able to tell if you
have an eating problem. If nothing else, you will see it in your
waist line. It doesn’t take a genius to figure that out. What
foods are addictive? Well, that is a hard answer. There is no
hard answer on what is addictive. It is like saying what is more
addictive, beer or whiskey. Though there are a few foods that
are extremely addictive. Caffeine. We all know that this is
addictive. I’m sure if you are a coffee drinker, you know how
you get the shakes in the morning if you don’t have your coffee.
Is coffee addiction bad for you? It depends on how much that you
drink. If you are drinking a few cups a day, I don’t think that
it is harmful. If on the other hand you are drinking several
pots per day, you have a problem. Even though it is addictive,
you can control the amount that you consume. Unless you have a
very addictive personality. If this is the case, I would suggest
that you avoid coffee and other caffeine containing products all
together. Sugar. This is addictive. We try not to think of it as
being so, but it is. It is addictive because of the jolt of
energy that it gives us. If you haven’t had your daily truck
load of sugar and you feel tired, worn out, cranky, you are
going through withdraw. Did you know that heroin addicts that
are going through withdraw consume large amounts of sugar? It is
said that sugar helps ward off the cravings of heroin. Sugar is
one of those things that is hard to avoid. The best thing that
you can do is avoid candy and other sweets. You will digest some
sugar, but if you avoid those things, you will cut out a big
portion of your sugar consumption. You should also avoid sodas.
They are loaded with sugar. Carbs. This is one thing that people
will get frustrated at me over. I do think that carbs are
addictive. For the same reasons that sugar is addictive. The
best thing that you can do is avoid eating too much bread and
pasta. That is the best way to avoid getting addicted to carbs.
I’m not saying that if you are addicted to carbs you will be
like a junky. What I am saying is, that you will become
dependant on them. I think that many people are addicted to
carbs and don’t know it. It isn’t something that we think about
when it comes to addictions. What should you do if you are a
food addict? If you can control it, you should do your best to
do so. If you are the type that has a strong will, it shouldn’t
be too hard. The problem is, most of us don’t have a strong will
when it comes to addictions. We are a race of addicted
creatures. I’m beginning to think that most of us are addicted
to something. No matter if it is coffee, cigarettes, booze and
so forth. If you don’t feel that you can control it, you need to
go to your doctor. You need to tell him what is going on. Don’t
be ashamed to talk to him about it. You should be more ashamed
of yourself if you do nothing about it. After you talk to him
you should look into finding a support group for people who have
food addictions. Your doctor will probably point you to a
therapist. The therapist will know of a support group you can
attend. If you aren’t to point that you can talk openly about
such a thing in person, you can find support groups online. They
are free to use, meaning they don’t charge any money. You will
begin to find out what treatment and other things are available.
These are people who fight what you are going through every day.
Don’t be ashamed or afraid. Most of the changes in life are
things that are hard to do. This is no different.
