Workout and weight loss on wheels- temptations

Carbohydrates produce a natural, physical high caused by dopamine. Once released the body wants more of it. Eating carbs has a similar effect on the brain's pleasure center as cocaine. This is why you my start thinking about pasta, rice, bread while you are doing your taxes. Symptoms of withdrawl include anxiety, headache and irritability. Salt addiction is due to the reaction your body has with the reward center of your brain making it hard to control your intake. Gum chewing can give an addictive feeling and gives some of the same habitual feelings as with drugs. Coffee is a stimulant and if skipped you can become sluggish and headache, thus, caffeine is very addictive. This goes for tea, energy drinks, soda & chocolate. Low - fat foods leave you overeating since you think they're less calories you end up eating more. Actually, these foods may not be nutritious and include additives. Chocolate releases serotonin into the brain and leaves you with a happy feeling. This effects brain cells related to mood, appetite, social behavior and sexual desire we crave. When sugar enters the bloodstream the pancreas releases insulin that gives you a sugar high. Cheese contains opiates, morphine, and casein in tiny amounts, all which have an addictive affect. Ice cream is delicious, and is packed with sugar (see above). Pizza has MSG is as an ingredient in the dough. This tricks the brain to believing that what you are eating tastes so great that you want more of it.There's more but - it is possible for you to get a fast food fix.
