so as we debug the weight loss we look for energy levels we look for sleep

problems we look for digestion and then we are at cravings now cravings are a good

indication that there’s something wrong in the body that there’s something missing and if

you’re craving sweets you’re not burning fat you’re burning sugar so this is a

very good indicator that we need to fix it okay because when you’re actually

burning fat you’re not craving anything so it just kind of it just tells us that

their diet isn’t right yet so if they’re craving sweet that’s a usually potassium

deficiency we need to have seven to ten cups of vegetable per day to get rid of

potassium deficiencies but if they already are eating potassium enough it

could be just a complete adrenal burnout mainly the inside of the adrenal and

they need l-tryptophan to increase the serotonin which is the pleasure hormone

yeah okay so we’re just trying to go trying to reduce stress and then we have

starches that would be like potato and pasta and mac and cheese and all those

wonderful pleasure foods that people are addicted to that’s a B vitamin

deficiency so give them nutritional yeast make sure the potassium is in

there as well but they might need l-tryptophan to to increase serotonin -

given that comfort feeling and we might even want increase dopamine to buy that

product that we talked about before but start with this right here

now salt if they crave salt then we know the adrenal is losing salt and salt

buffers the pH and it transports carbon dioxide so it actually helps breathing

so we’re not opposed to having a consumed sea salt as long as they’re

doing enough potassium so they need that salt because it’s going down so

sometimes if they’re deficient in salt they’re going to be tired as well salts

electrolyte and salt could even be one reasons one it could be cramping that’s

a rare case but it can cause a problem with that so make sure they’re if

they’re working out a lot and they’re sweating well they need more salt as

well now if they create fatty foods deep fried

foods deep-fried catfish with tartar sauce fried chicken I have a history of

craving fat not that ever give in to my cravings but that means that the

person’s has a liver gallbladder bile thing they’re not absorbing the fat

soluble vitamins thereby they’re craving more fat they’re never satisfied so

again give them the bile and that will handle it through the gallbladder

formula now what about chocolate we don’t they crave chocolate that would be

an L tryptophan thing given that and that that will increase serotonin this

means the adrenal is needs more serotonin becomes burnt out but you know

what magnesium actually is used to build l-tryptophan so you could also give them

magnesium too for chocolate cravings okay but again if you fix the adrenal you

just handled this one this one this one and this one yeah okay sour if they

crave sour or lemon they have a choline deficiency and they’re what choline is

needed to make this neurotransmitter called acetylcholine and acetylcholine

is essential for sleep and awake cycles and also to support something called the

parasympathetic nervous system and that’s the system that helps you sleep

so the best remedy would be to give them a lot of lemons and a lot of you can

even give them choline which is actually a lemon tasting vitamin they’ll suck on

it choline and they’ll love it the other thing that you can give them

is nutritional yeast to increase the acetylcholine and that will help the B

vitamin given the B vitamins to make more acetylcholine

but typically they’ll crave sour to help consume choline to actually strip off

the liver so people that have a fatty liver will a lot of times crave sour

because they’re trying to naturally eat foods resolve and fight on the liver

now if they crave ice that’s iron deficiency so make sure the not anemic

or pregnant or whatever have a digestive problem but usually if they’re

pregnant they’ll crave ice that’s an iron deficiency or they’ll crave dirt so just

get go outside in the backyard and give them a teaspoon of dirt okay

caffeine that is a you give them recommend phenylpiracetam

that is a supplement they can get if you if they want to come off caffeine I just

recommend and reduce it I don’t always recommend this but you if you need it

you can give it to them but when you take caffeine from chocolate or from tea

or coffee it depletes calcium and b1 just FYI so just look for those

deficiencies they might show signs of those deficiencies alcohol as a

substitute I like to give them kombucha tea because that actually helps give the

same texture as beer and you can also give them that Dopa Mucuna

which is that African bean to actually help them come off alcohol

and drugs it’s a very good thing because it stimulates dopamine which is the

pleasure and reward system of the brain now they’re hungry all the time they

need more bile they need more fat soluble vitamins because they’re not

digesting fats MSG monosodium glutamate we’ll just increase potassium the

opposing mineral to help balance that out and then you’re just going to have

to educate them on what this is what food that it’s in and that this will

increase insulin by 300% so the food manufacturing companies purposely put

that in the food to make you addictive and they’re tricking you and it makes

the food taste better than it really is so they get away with selling

crap and makes it taste good it’s like crap that tastes good crazy

okay stress eater we have a lot of stress eaters out there so a good remedy

would be Magnolia that’s a product I think it’s called relora but just

look for a product that says Magnolia and that’s kind of like taking a chill pill

and it helps them every time they go through stress okay so use this flow

chart for cravings and we’ll go on to the next factor
