Well rest assured, you’re not alone.
Anyone who has tried to change the way they eat in order to lose weight has experienced cravings.
What matters is whether we give in to them, and how often we give in to them.
A 2010 study revealed that a common flower extract proved effective at stopping cravings at the neurotransmitter level, meaning that it stopped them from wreaking havoc on a person’s diet. That powerful flower extract is Saffron.
The researchers found that the pleasure and reward pathways in your brain that are associated to drug and alcohol addiction are the very same ones activated when you eat emotionally (which is why it’s so hard to ignore a craving and to stop eating once you’ve started).
The test subjects in the study took a Saffron extract supplement for 8 weeks and reported a 55% decrease in cravings and emotional snacking. Significant results indeed.
