Walking the supermarket isles makes me very strong when it comes to the chocolate biscuits and sweets section, ok, sometimes. Quickly walking by is the best action I have decided as my weight increases when chocolate enters my home. To keep the fat cells in check, trying for good nutrition is always best!
'Can a woman actually be addicted to chocolate?
According to a study conducted in Scotland, self-described chocoholics do seem to have a few things in common with alcoholics and other bona fide addicts. Most say that their consumption is excessive and problematic. On the other hand, self-professed chocoholics don't seem to go through withdrawal when they're denied chocolate. So other experts say that they aren't truly addicted.
"I don't think that you can be addicted to chocolate, though you certainly can experience frequent cravings," Waterhouse, a nutritionist and author of Why Women Need Chocolate and Outsmarting the Female Fat Cell, we women yearn for chocolate when certain feel-good neurochemicals (drug-like substances released by our brains) are at low ebb in our bodies. As it turns out, levels of some of these neurochemicals wax and wane with levels of the female sex hormones oestrogen and progesterone, Waterhouse notes. That may explain why we crave chocolate more than men do, and why our chocolate cravings vary over our men ........ Eating chocolate, Waterhouse says, boosts levels of the necessary neurochemicals, improving our moods.'
