Eat To Live: Indulging cravings on a diet.
Byline: JULIA WATSON
LE BUGUE, France, July 31 (UPI) -- If you've been on a long-term diet, it's more than likely you'll be battling a craving for certain types of foods you know you shouldn't have.
Until now, scientists believed those foods would be carbohydrate-focused. Carbohydrates are the sugars and starches found in breads, cereals, fruits and vegetables.
This conviction might surprise most dieters. I'm not familiar with people struggling with a diet who sit there longing for a rutabaga. Personally, what I generally hunger for is malted milk shakes, double chocolate-chip cookies, french fries, salted cashews and so forth.
Now it's official. Dieters crave calories.
"What is commonly called carbohydrate addiction should probably be relabeled as calorie addiction," Susan Roberts of the Jean Mayer USDA Human Nutrition Research Center on Aging at Tufts University, an author of the study, told FoodNavigator.com.
"The craved foods do have carbohydrate, but they also have fat, and some protein, too. The most identifiable thing about the foods people crave is that they are highly dense in calories."
