Answer 1

Hi...
High calorie snacks are addictive because they taste good. Chocolate, like other sweet food, releases chemicals in the brain called 'endorphins' that cause feelings of happiness and pleasure. Carbohydrates such as cake and biscuits also boost blood sugar levels, and give us a 'burst' of energy. This is followed by another slump as the blood sugar levels go down, and the cravings return.
Before you reach for the nearest chocolate bar, take a moment to read the nutrition information on the label. Look at the figures giver per 100 grams (gr) of the product, and don't chose treats with more than 10gr of sugar.
Healthy snacks take some planning - especially when you're out of the house. Pack a few snacks to take with you, such as a handful of unsalted nuts and raisins, a few oatcakes, or vegetable sticks with a low-fat dip.
If you're always fighting sweet cravings, try a fruit scone, fig roll or fresh or dried fruit. If you prefer savoury treats, try rice cakes with cottage cheese or hummus, half an avocado, or a slice of wholemeal toast with low fat spread.
Grab something to drink. Sometimes, cravings for food are really thirst in disguise
Watch your caffeine intake. Caffeine seems to make sugar cravings worse.
Craving sweets is also often an indication of a lack of certain nutrients such as chromium, carbon, phosphorus, sulphur and tryptophan.

Hope this is useful to you...
