Please watch this even if you are well acquainted with this term. Macronutrient imbalance can cause serious self-sabotage!

Nb PMT is known as PMS in some countries 


What Happens If You Don't Eat All 3 Of These Macronutrients?

The most common consequence is that your body will respond to this lack of nutrition by screaming at you in the form of cravings.

 

Unfortunately, it cannot communicate with you in the way that would be most useful. If only we started craving avocados when we were low on healthy fat!

 

No, what it is most likely to do is to scream for carbohydrates - because it is in an energy emergency...

 

...and the type of carbohydrates that give you the fastest energy hit...

 

  • Sugar in any form, but especially when mixed with fat (maybe because the fat feels calming) 

  • Desserts

  • White flour products
