What do food cravings really mean?

Do you ever crave foods? For me, I tend to have more cravings for sweets or chocolate then anything else.

Many people don’t realize that food cravings are actually just our body’s way of telling us we are missing something in our diet. More often then not, it’s vitamins and minerals.

I recently saw this photo floating around on Pinterest.

I think it’s a great resource that everyone can use and follow.

Do you ever have certain cravings?

This past week, I kinda fell off the Mamavation Two Week Challenge. I have been so busy with summer, family, and BlogHer coming up that I just haven’t had the time to think about a workout schedule. Of course that also didn’t stop me from going to the gym a couple of times last week. Overall, I neither lost or gain anything. It’s all good.

Goals this week are -

Gym time on Monday and Wednesday
Free weights on Tuesday and Thursday
100 oz of water daily
NO eating out until Friday.

What are your goals this week?

That is super interesting. I’ll have to keep that in mind as I am craving during the day. As for goals – mine is only to be mindful while eating. easy enough, right???

This is great and I’ve heard of that before. I also tend to crave sweets–and mine always strike late at night!
