Cestaro is a 33 years old health
counselor and yoga instructor who runs a private counseling
practice called Happy Healing in Manhattan. She used to get
tired everyday around 3:00 or 4:00 in the afternoon and start
to crave candy and cookies, anything sweet. “And if
I didn’t get that sweet treat, oh watch out here comes
mood swings!”
She would start to get
very irritable, shaky and a little clammy, and she would have
a sweet to boost her energy, only to find herself yawning
again two hours later.” “I was so fatigued, all
I wanted to do was go home after work and sit on the couch.
I didn’t have the energy to work out at night because
I was so tired from the energy wave in my body.”
The connections between her cravings and her
moods was very clear. “If I had a bad day at work, I
would reach for a cupcake (my comfort food) or if a had a
fight or a breakup with a boyfriend it was Swedish fish or
gummy bears. My mood would get better for about an hour then
the roller coaster would start all over again. I would be
happy and hyper for a time and then I would start to crash
and it just kept going on and on.”
After years of eating sugar and suffering the
resulting moods swings, Randi developed hypoglycemia, and
insulin imbalance in the body which if left untreated can
eventually lead to Type II Diabetes. She was able to cure
herself by eliminating white table sugar, white flour, and
caffeine from her diet. She has lost a good deal of body fat,
feels and looks much better, no longer has mood swings and
dips in energy.
Randi’s story may seem sever, but
many people are addicted to sugar, caffeine and other extreme
foods that wreak havoc on blood sugar levels and cause intense
cravings and mood swings. The key is to begin notching patterns
in your own life so you can identify which foods set you off
and then work on balancing your diet so you experience fewer
cravings for these foods.
