cravings for unhealthy foods<\/a>. When you cannot control stress, the adrenal glands release cortisol, which amps up appetite and the motivation to eat. When cortisol levels remain high, the person doesn\u2019t often consider what they should eat or if it is approved for their diet. They just eat whatever is in sight because they cannot think straight. Numerous studies found that high stress levels cause people to choose foods that are higher in fats and sugars. The combination of excess stress with high blood sugar levels causes excess ghrelin production, which increases hunger and cravings. <\/p>\n\n\n\nYour Eating Is Too Restrictive<\/h2>\n\n\n\n Yes, this is indeed a thing. Some diets require you to eat in an unrealistic way that can not only be incredibly difficult, but also too different from what you know. It\u2019s not a negative thing to eat outside your comfort zone, but restricting too much can cause you to pig out in an unhealthy way. Avoiding sweets, or any sweet ingredient, for the rest of time will cause you to crave sweets and cave very quickly. A reasonable treat here and there will keep you from losing control. Don\u2019t be too restrictive or else you\u2019ll end up in the fridge with cake in your hand and chocolate on your face wondering how you got there. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
You Keep Temptations In The House<\/h2>\n\n\n\n When you know that a box of cookies is in your cabinet, the mental battle is always on. How long will you survive against the processed temptation? If you are watching TV at night and want a cookie, you\u2019re going to go get it. That cookie may turn into four, which may turn into 10. If you don\u2019t keep temptations in the house, you\u2019re less likely to eat them. If you reach in the cabinet to grab a handful of cashews and see BBQ chips, it\u2019s only a matter of time before you\u2019re licking the chip residue off your fingers. Surround yourself with healthier food options and get rid of any foods that will tempt you to cheat on your diet. <\/p>\n
