Slow down, you move too fast, you got to make the morning last, Just kicking down the cobblestones, looking for fun

and feeling proving. Welcome to Dishing Up Nutrition. Today's show is brought to you by nutritional

weight and wellness. So I have a couple of questions for you listeners. Every now and then, do you ever get an overwhelming craving for just some type of junk food?

I always used to have clients tell me, you know, I was doing so well with my eating plan.

And just out of the blue, I had this overwhelming urge to go through the fast food lane, almost like the car drove itself through the fast food lane.

And they would get a burger, fries, and a soda.

Or another one I used to hear is my brother left a bag of chips on the kitchen counter.

And the bag wasn't even opened, but I had this irresistible craving for chips,

and I opened the bag, and I thought I would just take a handful, and then next thing you know,

the entire bag is gone. So, I mean, these things happen to people, and I think they don't even

realize why. So today, that is what our topic is.

We're going to explore why we have junk food cravings, why we give into them, even when we know

in our head that they're not good for us. And we are going to give you some great tips on how to stop these junk food cravings.

And I really believe that it helps to understand why we crave these poor quality foods that are

laden with chemicals, bad fats, and usually high sugar. It's usually that trifecta.

Yes.

So I'd like to, I'll introduce myself and my co-host.

My name is Kara Carper.

I'm a licensed nutritionist and certified nutrition specialist.
