Why do I crave fast foods, especially in the evening?!


Question:

Why do I crave fast foods, especially in the evening?


Answers:
A combination of things. Habit and the need for sugar, salt or carbs. If you have something sweet (but healthy!) or something salty (healthy) or something containing carbs. then youll be ok. Believe it or not fast food contains LOADS of sugar. So id say sugar. Maybe have a yogurt or low fat icecream.

IDK......... I DO TOO

Because there are chemicals in your brain that have been trained to want and expect the fast food you eat. Just like a chocoholic craves chocolate, people can crave fast food because it makes them feel good. The best way to stop is to "ween" yourself off of it. Don't give into your cravings and eventually you won't crave it so much and can just eat it when you really want it and not need it.

Fast food contains all of sugar and fats. You probably don't eat enough during the day and you're hungry by evening because you let your body starve.

possibily because youre hungry?

you could be pregnant

Your body is expecting them. If you re-train your body (and taste buds) to expect something else, like a spinach salad, then you'll crave that. It takes about 3 weeks to start a new food habit (or kick an old one), so be patient and dilligent with yourself if that's what you decide to do. Maybe during the transition switch to homemade burgers and fries, then switch to turkey burgers and so on. Give yourself a good 3 weeks of no cheating. Good luck!
