Are Carbohydrates Addicting

There has been a lot of information lately about the possibility that carbohydrates may actually be addicting to some people. There have been many medical studies performed that seem to indicate that some people's brains are more susceptible to the blood sugar spike that comes from the ingestion of foods high in carbohydrates and simple carbohydrates.
Apparently in these people the chemical receptors in their brains are more in tuned to the chemicals that result from the intake of carbohydrates. These receptors start to crave the chemicals that are derived from carbs and like an alcoholic they tell the other parts of the brain to get ingest more carbs. Then when the person eats more they feel better and so it is a self-replicating process. The brains starts to crave carbs, the body eats carbohydrates, this makes the brain and body feel relief and desire even more carbs.
If you think you may have an addiction to carbs try a no and low carb diet for a while and see if you feel better. There are a lot of no carb recipes that you can try for relief. Stay away from bread and pasta and sugar for a few weeks and see if you don't feel better. If so, contact your doctor or a nutritionist for help with your eating habits and diet.
