What if we told you your body is lying to you? Well maybe not lying exactly, but you know us women, we say one thing but mean another and our bodies do it too. Don't get too offended babe, you do it to your boyfriend all the time but you still love him, right?
We've endeavoured to decode those pesky cravings that go against your better judgement so you can satisfy them without surrendering to them!
Craving: CHOCOLATE
Body Decoder: Chocolate cravings are in full force at this time of year but your body isn't telling you to eat it because it's a fan of the Easter Bunny. What she is really telling you is that she needs MAGNESIUM.
MAGNESIUM Benefits: Magnesium is a mineral that is involved in more than 300 of the bodies metabolic and enzymatic reactions. So in english, this means that this wonder mineral will help you feel better about a number of things including sleep, insulin regulation, relaxation and overall health.
What to eat instead: Magnesium is a great supplement to add to your diet, we also include this baby in our Body Coconut Protein Blend so add it to a berry smoothie for a yummy and fresh solution!
Craving: OIL/FATTY FOODS
Body Decoder: We know you can see straight through this one. It's no coincidence that your healthy diet falls down a little on the weekend and you crave a McDonalds run on a Sunday. Craving oil and fatty foods is directly linked to your liver and after a night out with the girls and a bottle of wine (or 2!) your liver is hurting!
What to eat instead: Skip the fast food run and dine on a smashed avo and poached eggs at your fave local cafe. Snack on our Recover Peanut Butter Protein Balls & 3PM Almond Protein Balls to help put those cravings to bed and feel energised and enhance your mood.
