Craving for Sweets and Starchy Foods May Indicate Pre-Diabetes

Does craving for sweets and starchy foods indicate diabetes?

The answer is not really. However, it can indicate the stage of pre-diabetes. Having cravings for sweets and starchy food shows that there is something not quite balanced with regard to processing complex carbohydrates or storing complex sugars in the muscles and in the liver and it usually indicates that the liver functions are subdued due to bile duct congestion with intra-hepatic gallstones where the bile is not properly released in order to digest foods such as fats that are required to digest carbohydrates so for example, if you eat some rice and you put some butter on it or olive oil and there is not enough bile coming out then the fat is not digested and, without the fat the carbohydrates cannot be digested, and these carbohydrates or complex sugars cannot be broken down in to the glucose that you need in order to fire or nourish or activate the activities or perform the activities in the cells. So as a result, there is a shortage of glucose on a cellular level and the cells will signal to your brain that “Hey, you need to give me more glucose”, so the brain interprets that, or you rather interprets that as “Oh, I need some sweet carbohydrates’, something that can replenish that lack of sugar on a cellular level. So having cravings like that just indicates there is a metabolic issue that your liver is not performing as well because of not producing enough bile to make the digestion of fats more efficient. This, however, can lead to a buildup also of sugars in the blood stream that are not removed, so the more sugar that you eat, the less actually you can make available to the cells, so overeating can also lead to this self-fulfilling prophecy of becoming over-sugared or too sweet which is another way of saying ‘diabetes’.

So, diabetes is… it is not really a disease, but it is a corrective mechanism that the body protects itself against an overload of sugar that could also lead to excessive production of insulin, and insulin when it gets close to the cells can cause inflammation of the cells, so, you do not want to be overexposed to insulin. So in order to reduce that, the body will… the cells in the body will start closing the doors to insulin and that shutting off of the insulin will also prevent the insulin transporting sugar into the cells, and as a result there will be cravings for sugar and for glucose or sugar and that will lead to wanting to eat more of the same. So, diabetes itself, definitely, can lead to the sugar cravings but it is often more than the other way around that, the sugar cravings indicate that there is a lack of sugar uptake, either because the body is protecting itself against insulin or simply because you have been overeating the sugar which can lead to more sugar deprivation, and sugar itself if you eat too much of it can definitely lead to bile duct congestion which in turn prevents the proper digestion of fats and without the fats being digested properly you cannot digest carbohydrates properly and that in itself can again lead to sugar deficiency on a cellular level.

So one way or another the best way to stop this vicious cycle is to clean out the liver and make changes to the diet such as introducing more healthy foods to it that are indicated in “TIMELESS SECRETS OF HEALTH AND REJUVENATION“. Eating foods that are suitable for your particular body type, and you can find out what body type you are from reading this book and that will help you give your body more of what it really wants, and as a result, cravings will lessen because the body will be satisfied on a cellular level with what it receives and it therefore does not have to crave other things. Sometimes when people say “I have a sweet tooth, that is just me!!”, that is not really true, I have helped many, many people who had a sweet tooth for twenty years and then from one day to the next by making some subtle changes to the diet or by cleaning out the liver they have had no cravings whatsoever ever again.

So I hope this becomes helpful to you and I wish you a very sweet, happy day.
