Carbohydrate cravings are difficult to deal with, especially when you are trying to maintain a low carbohydrate way of life. However, carbohydrate cravings are not just a matter of will power.

People tend to think of meat or fish for protein, a carbohydrate like potatoes, pasta or rice, vegetables for vitamins and minerals and fats by sauce, olive oil, dressing or desert. Now it’s also thought that the ratio of the main three, protein, carbohydrate and fat should be as third each for balance.

Researchers believe that dietary fat is not necessarily converted to body fat, however carbohydrate is readily converted to fat as a process of insulin and most overweight people suffer from hyperinsulinemia which is cause by elevated level of insulin in the body due to over consumption of carbohydrates. Insulin is a hormone that allows blood sugar to be use by the cells. When you eat a meal high in carbohydrates, the increased blood sugar stimulates insulin production by the pancreas and one of the side effects of this is producing hunger signals in the brain and depositing fat in the body.
