Craving Sugar During Lockdown?

What is it with that?

In fact the whole panic buying thing that goes on at the mere hint of a community case is completely fascinating. Infuriating, but fascinating. Also is the sudden need to mass produce enough baked goods to feed a shearing shed full of hungry shearers. The panic buying/stockpiling is an understandable reaction to the heightened anxiety levels and fear of the future. It’s something we can have control over when there’s little else we can. These increased feelings of anxiety can also lead to emotional eating.

Lockdown Comfort Food to help avoid Covid Kilos.

Is your go-to for emotional eating broccoli and kale?  Not what I crave when hunkering down to episodes 1-10, season 4 of Game of Thrones. Of course not.

Eating sweet, tasty foods releases dopamine in our brains which then improves our mood and makes us happier right?  Well, maybe temporarily, as one of the side effects that might not make us so happy could be the increased weight gain caused by those excess calories.

There’s a whole lot more to be considered as well, when deciding to reach for the King Size Bar  of Chocolate. 

Lockdown this time round for me – I intend to lose the Covid Kilos that I that quite possibly, (no let’s be honest, most definitely) compounded from the April 2020 lockdown.  But am I still going to have sweet comfort food!  Most definitely.  But I’m going to choose from the huge range of no and low carb products on offer.

Just want  something sweet to pick at during Game of Thrones? 

Need chocolate to nibble on when watching old movie classics? 

Desperate to dunk a biscuit or cookie into a cup of tea while watching your favourite doccos?

Can’t fight the urge to bake up a storm?
