Oh, and by the way, since blood sugar can't get to its targeted cells, it ends up being railroaded into fat cells, and that equals poundage. Worse yet, as this manic insulin ride continues, even the fat cells will ultimately shut-down; and with no place left to go blood sugar holes-up in the bloodstream. And that equals type 2 diabetes, often referred to as adult-onset diabetes.
Lots of information here, I know. But, haven't you ever wondered why you may be pounding carbs? And what about the times you'd walk through a blizzard to secure chocolate? Well, I know these questions were of great interest to me, and that's what led to my research. There's no doubt in my mind that each and every panic and anxiety sufferer is all the better for understanding these dynamics.

Thanks for sharing this information with us. It is so true that foods can impact how we feel and that, when feeling stressed, we will reach for certain foods in an effort to make ourselves feel better. Unfortunately, we don't reach for the healthy foods but for foods that may be high in fat or high in sugar. Although these foods may provide a quick fix, they end up making us feel guilty and more stressed later.
