This can be caused by:
- Unbalanced blood sugar causing energy to dip and sugar cravings to increase
- Lack of sleep or rest
- Eating foods that make you sleepy such as wheat and sugar
- Alcohol which impacts on both sleep and blood sugar
- Eat some carbs but the right kind – pulses, brown rice, sweet potatoes, wholegrain pasta
- Have the right sweet stuff – 85% dark chocolate, stewed apples with cinnamon, berries and yoghurt, avocado chocolate mousse, natural banana dairy free sugar free ice cream (recipes available www.whatseatingyou.o.uk/blog
