ReplyDeleteThanks Libby! Always enjoy your comments!
DeleteJules, you're doing great. It's my experience that I crave carbs for about three days after I drink alcohol. Have you read, "The Hidden Addication and How to get Free?" It talks about how there are seven different addictive substances that your body can crave as substitutes for one another. Your body finds it very easy to convert both alcohol and simple sugars into energy, so when you drink, your body says, "Woo Hoo, instant energy, I don't need to convert any of that protien or stubborn fat into fuel!" Once the alcohol is gone from your system, rather than going back to burning proteins and fats that your consuming into fuel, which is hard work, your body is looking for simple sugars again, hence the carb cravings. Does that make any sense at all???
ReplyDeleteAnyway, one of the reasons I drink much less than I used to, not that I've been drinking a lot lately, anyway, is because I hate dealing with the carb cravings for three days afterwards.
Mike basically told me the same thing about carbs. He's smart like you! I am strongly considering no alcohol until I hit goal weight. I am making that decision and will blog about it on Friday! Eekkkk! Now the pressure is on to blog about how I will temporarily give it up and limit it forever!!
