Most of the time, cravings are caused by insulin. When you eat too much sugar without enough fiber/fat/protein to slow down digestion (which is usually the case when you eat refined sugar), your body deals with the rush of glucose into the blood by creating excess insulin to combat it. Once it's taken care of the sugar (much of which is converted to fat), you have a pack of rootin', tootin' insulin with no-one to party with, so they signal your brain to crave more sugar.
Okay, so now you know that, but the answer is "willpower." Once you break the physical addiction, you'll probably still have the emotional addiction, but it's going to be much easier to deal with.
You can do it! I did it and lots of people have. Your body doesn't need that junk!
When I do want that junk, I have some shakeology.....in all different forms (popsicle, pie, blended with fruit, etc) or have a P90X protein bar...SO yummy and NO cravings after!!
