Causes of sugar addiction
Constantly craving sweets? Don't rush to call yourself a sweet tooth, the reasons may be different.
Emotional triggers. Eating out of boredom, fueling stress, homesickness, etc.
Inadequate intake of quality calories and fats. If you consume not enough calories, or sufficient but "empty" ones, your body will tend to make up the deficit with sweets.
Poor or insufficient sleep. Especially in women.
"Clogged" taste buds - years of eating industrial sweets, sodas, etc. with lots of sugar and artificial sweeteners "clog" our receptors, hyper-stimulate our pleasure center, causing us to keep craving artificial sweet nastiness.
Always keep this in mind when you get your next chocolate bar.
