Why do you want to eat sweets after eating: a nutritionist's answer
Sweets are a common cause of extra pounds.
If you want to lose weight and prevent health problems, you need to reduce the amount of such products in your diet or completely eliminate them.
If you want to eat something sweet after lunch or dinner, this indicates a lack of nutrients in the body.
For example, on a low-carb diet.
This may be caused by a decrease in blood sugar levels.
In addition, cravings can appear due to a deficiency of zinc, iron, calcium and magnesium, the Daily Mail reports, citing nutritionist Rachel Richardson.
She noted that magnesium helps produce insulin, which maintains stable blood sugar levels.
If there is too little of this element, then sugar may drop, which means appetite increases.
The desire to eat another piece of candy is also caused by the fact that such a product helps to satisfy emotional hunger.
If you eat sweets regularly, your taste buds get used to them.
